South Park: Stick of Truth

[Cookie]

Out Friday

South Park RPG. Surprised there has been no thread that I can find.

Getting good reviews already. Console versions for Europe are unfortunately censored in a few scenes (f**k Germany)

Amazon has it for 28 quid for the digital download preorder, not sure if there's anywhere cheaper.

Excite.

It looks very good - an a change from ultra deep RPGs.

Even Gamecentral gave it 8/10 which is a very good score from them.

 

[Matt Cup]

I believe they have censored some parts of this game for the EU version, not sure if it's detrimental to how the game will play though.

 

[Brand86]

Apparently it's fine and there is even a scene or two mocking Europe's censorship views as a result.

Strangely though the cut scenes still feature on the PC version apparently so not sure how that works?! Presumably as t he PC audience is more mature compared to consoles

Perhaps easier to tailor the PC version to individual markets

 

[CrippsCorner]

Glad this got good reviews... still kinda holding out for the PS4 but I reckon this deserves a purchase

 

[Silent_Scone]

Apparently, this game is a corker.

Apparently Amazon are going to email me at midnight with the key. Debating whether to stay up and wait (I'm not working tomorrow anyway)

Played about 2 hours today. Its so f**king funny!!

 

[Brand86]

As the only licensed game within recent history I can think of I think people should purchase it to encourage a sequel. If you don't buy quality it is just another step towards more annual franchises, micro transactions and 'free to play' games which actually cost a fortune.

In all seriousness the games industry overall isn't doing very well now and publishers are taking fewer and fewer risks so if they go out on a limb to make quality games like this we have to buy them or risk them not doing them again.

Sadly not

 

[banther]

God dammit.

Although I keep forgetting Im soon to have my chubby grubby mitts on a gaming PC.

 

[McGherkin]

I've been watching a few play through videos, it seems really good.

 

[Snakey]

I remember getting the South Park game on the N64, that was pretty funny.

Main weapon: Snowball.... Secondary Weapon: Yellow Snowball!

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Started and finished playing it all today, only took me 7 hours and I was gutted there wasn't more (even though I got the DLC's lol)

No spoiler but close to the end. Even I was grossed out, proper weird.

and I think if I were a 9 year old with a beard it would look like my character:

I've played about 3 hours so far, f**king brilliant. Like being inside an episode.

I'll take a screenshot of my character later

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

This looks awesome.
Does it require much for pc play? Thinking of getting it on my laptop providing it'll play it.

Behold. The Jew.

I dont normally LOL when I write it but this did make me roll on the floor pissing myself and laughing out loud IMO.

 

[Reko]

One of the best games I've ever played!!! So funny.
I'll try and not spoil it, but my favorite bit was when you become small and see your parents doing stuff. People who have played this bit will know what I'm on about. Loved that entire scene

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Yes easily one of the best parts!! Along with the bit with Mr.Slave when you're small hahah

 

[Heez]

FFS! I hate being poor! Need this game ever since I seen the trailer

 

[GiT]

Been playing it this weekend and it's hilarious, just like an interactive episode. Easily my favourite game of late and highly recommended for any one who loves South Park

 

[kpowell911]

[GiT]

Amazon £27.99 for PC currently... so so tempted.

 

[Stu_F]

I'm a few hours in and loving it. Love the way they handled naming your character in the game - I won't spoil it

Amazon £27.99 for PC currently... so so tempted.
