Title: South Park: The Stick of Truth
Post by: ToxicDuck on March 04, 2014, 07:00:30 AM
I just started playing today, I love it so far. The turn based combat system is great, and it has a great amount of skills and perks. It has tons of references to episodes of the show, and it looks just like an episode. Going from gameplay to cutscenes are flawless. Loading times are very small, the world is huge, and there are so many things to explore/collect. I've been playing for two hours now and the only con I have is the combat is a tiny bit repetitive, but I normally always feel this way with all turn based combat games.

If you like south park, I highly suggest this game.

If you don't like south park, you probably wont like it, seeing as it's humor is just like an episode of the show.

So, does anyone plan to get this game? if you have already, how are you enjoying it?

I saw that game on steam a few weeks ago and I was like...how can anybody justify paying $60 for a game like this?

I actually had the same thought.  From what I've heard its actually not bad, but paying $60 for a rpg parody seems pretty crazy. I'm sure South Park fans will really like it, not my cup of tea personally though.

The main thing is, you have to look past the gimmick of it being south park.  As I'm sure most of you know, normally games that are based on tv shows/movies are normally terrible. But they made this into an actual good game.  If you really don't want to pay full price, I definitely think you should buy it when the price drops. It's a well made game.

Just finished the game, loved it. Humor didn't get stale to me, and it was a legitimately good RPG.

Why not just buy it on steam? I hope you're still going to try and get it, like I said, I loved it.

Just finished beating it and already want to play a second time haha, its so fun. I saw some people just rush through the story line and complain the game is too short, but honestly if you get it you have to do the side quests. They are just as funny and awesome as the story, they make the gameplay much longer as well :)

Yeah, I agree, it's one of those games that doing the side quests will really make your experience of the game better. The only thing I found was I thought it was a bit too easy. When I replay it I'll probably do it on the hardest difficulty.  I also hope that mods come out for the game.

Yeah I'm starting one now on the hardest difficulty, for a large majority of the game on normal I could 1 hit anything but bosses. Hope hard will be a bit more challenging.

My cousin just came over and is playing it. He's playing it on the hardest difficulty and you can already see enemies do a lot more damage. So that's good.

I do enjoy the occasional South Park episode, but I'm not a hardcore fan or anything so I doubt I'd get a lot of the references. But I'm watching Game Grumps(technically Steam Train) play through it and so far it is quite hilarious. It really does look like you're playing through an episode of South Park.

This. They're the only YouTube channel I keep up with on a daily basis.

Anyways, I got the game even though I rarely watch the show and so far it's pretty great for the humor alone. When the price drops, I recommend checking it out.
