South Park: The Stick of Truth

[Volrath]

Let's amend it to "South Park is Obsidian's best game in a pre-existing franchise"

Let's not.

I enjoyed South Park: Stick of Truth, but anyone who says it is a better game than KOTOR2, MotB or Fallout: New Vegas needs their head examined.

Here, have a fake brofist.

Dumbfuck detected.

Don't really see how you can draw a parallel between the sort of game New Vegas is (or motb/kotor2) and what South Park is. Stick of truth is fun as fuck though (at least for me) so far.

Funny to see compare reactions on the first few pages of the thread to how it's being viewed now.

Also still waiting on info on Obsidian's deal with the game and if they're getting a % of sales or actually made decent money off it

Game finished along with most sidequests and collectables. Awesome fun all around with several memorable moments. After the ending I only hope

Spoiler

Clyde's death is canon. Hate'm.

What I'd take from it design-wise is how you can skip most trash mobs if you keep an eye on the scenery and you still get full XP.

I don't think we'll ever know, unfortunately. That we even know about the New Vegas Metacritic deal was purely a matter of chance, too -- MCA tweeting something he shouldn't have (and then deleting the tweet).

The PS3 version metacritic score is at 86, though; I wonder if the bonus is per platform.

No Saddam Hussein and gay Satan,the funniest characters on South Park after Cartman and Butters. What the hell
And no Mel Gibson or Godzilla Barbra Streisand for boss fights.

Finished the game and found it hilarious and entertaining throughout. Truly a better story of the Dovahkiin than Skyrim's ever was.

The woodland critters are in the game, if you can find them. You can befriend or fight them. I was hoping they opened a sidequest with Satan and Hell but nope

 

[Ulminati]

I never saw southpark, 'cause they didn't air it on tv over here when it was popular and my internet was too slow to torrent.

If you don't give a fuck about southpark to begin with, this game won't change your mind. It's a shoddy game underneath its 3rd grade attempts at humour.

Not relevant when it comes to personal taste, I'm not a game reviewer so I have no obligation to consider the target audience. As a AAA RPG it doesn't hold a candle to Vegas, .

Pay attention to me.

Okay.

Hell will be great questing area.I want to see these goofballs again:



Or maybe the Imaginationland.

There is only the Spaceship and Canada,beside Sout park.

More important than direct payment are new projects. If the success leads to a new game with Ubisoft or a continuation of South Park games thats already the best possible outcome.

Not getting screwed over with two projects (Backspace, Prey 2) like in Bethesda's case, of course.

 

[Tigranes]

Developers almost never get % of sales these days, the best they can hope for is that dev costs are met, there's a nice bonus, and everyone wants to give them work for doing slam dunks.

 

[Dragula]

So it's done. I would give it 7/10, it is fun. It is crap as an RPG, but it is fun. Even if it gets awfully repetitive and the combat becomes dull, it is fun to see things in the enviroment you can just to just avoid the fighting. Also:

Spoiler

Al Gore is fucking annoying.

Obsidian should work on a hentai game next.

I really don't trust the Codex when it comes to Obsidian, but is this game worth purchasing when it goes below $10?

It worths even 60 dollars.

Yeah, figured I shouldn't ask on an Obsidian fan forum.

I'd say it's worth more than that. Granted, I'm an Obsidian fanboy, but it doesn't really feel like an Obsidian game at all. It's pretty much an interactive season of South Park with JRPG elements.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Well, impressions have been mostly positive even here at cynical asshole central so of course it will be worth it when it reaches a small fraction of full price. The real question is if it's worth it at, say, 50%. Unless you are really repulsed by easy combat (then again, this doesn't stop people from adoring the holy trinity) and relatively short length (on the plus side, it means little filler), and I'd say it is.

 

[IDtenT]

I'd say it's worth more than that.

Worth more than five Big Macs in South African money terms? Highly doubt it.

Unlike Stick of Truth, Big Macs are harmful to you though. Play Stick of Truth, lose a few pounds, it's win-win.

 

[Dragula]

So sitting on your ass is more healthy?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

What, do you eat your Big Macs while jogging?

Read the big thread, lot's of first impressions and post impressions there.
