South Park Stick of Truth

Post » Wed Mar 05, 2014 6:34 pm

This is a thread to discuss what ya like and what ya dislike about the new SPSoT game.

First off as a SouthPark fan...im very impressed with the quality of this game. I actually feel like im exploring south park town in this game. Has a...mmmm guess i could describ it is is take a very good south park episode amd combine it with earthbound the game.

Im digging yhe story, the humor, the immersion, gah its hard to explain. It does alot of the "meat" very well imho.

This is by no means a "complex" rpg so if ur only wanting that i would say ud be disappointed.

I can go on amd on about what i think is fantastic about the game but alas no game is perfect.

The thing i dont like about the game is yhe button mashing. Thankfully this doesnt happen alot or for me hardly but it is there. Granted if u want a cknstant supply of a certain object as a weapon u woukd constantly ne butyon mashing but its there when ya need to learn ur "farts" but really only then as using them in combat will work well even if u mess up. Theres a few places in the quest where u have to do so. But thankfully for me it wasnt anything that ruined the game or my experience on it.

Sk there ya have it, what about you? Please no spoilers fkr everyone including me since i am jumping back on yhe game lol.

Next time I'm at Wal-Marts I might pick it up, also to anyone who plays it might want to check the three episodes that "inspired" this game Starting with Black Friday, A Song of Ass and Fire and [censored] and Dragons---these might put together the setting for The Stick of Truth.

I hear its a good game. Except Kotaku had a bad time apparently with it, except nobody really cares for their opinion.. RPS usually has a negative approach when they see Obsidian.. But the rest are all high scores. I wasn't really interested in it. I don't normally watch south-park but I may consider it.

The game just... nails it. I don't watch much South Park but from the episodes I remember this is show that I've come to know. But I didn't get it because it's South Park, I got it to add another RPG to my collection and so far it succeeds. The combat is fluid and well done. And I'm having a blast exploring.
