This game makes me laugh my ass off a lot.

I did run into some minor bugs (scene in the first part), and also ran into an issue with trying to cast ranged magic (I'm actually not sure how to perform the skill.... which is a problem since as far as I can tell I am following the instructions).  I'm not sure if it's just something I don't understand or if there's possibly a bug there.

*edit* nevermind this information isn't right

 

Another tip: I thought the save system was broken, but it turns out that if you save manually, it doesn't save any of your progress between that point and the last checkpoint by design. Before I actually read the tooltip, I thought my file was just corrupted. Got pretty frustrating after I got ganked by elves a few times outside of Jimbo's Gunshop and it didn't save the progress I made in the lengthy process of offloading my vendor trash.

I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to perform magic too, the game really doesn't explain that as well as it could. After some experimentation, I figured out that after you start holding down the left mouse button, it's best to disregard the prompts to push "a" and "d" entirely, just press and hold either a or d until the oscilliscope gets excited, and then quickly switch to the other. I tried following the instructions too, but that got me a whole lot of nowhere.

 

 

 

 

It is confusing and how you do it in the training is different from combat and different from exploring.  In exploring the E button cycles thru the magic skills (F button does ranged buddy skills and others) then you hold G aim the cup a spell and release.

 

I am not the biggest of South Park fans but the game has had me laughing almost non-stop and the exploring and combat are fun enough that it would warrant some replays down the road.

Played the game all night (much later than I should have *yawn/coffee*). My thoughts so far:

Spoiler

I bought this game for the Xbox, since my husband and I can't comfortably play at the computer together, and he hasn't played a game on the computer since the 90's. Besides, I still have some Microsoft monies sitting on my Live account, so if anything fun comes out for download, I already have cash set aside to purchase.

The controls on the Xbox are fine for the most part, but just like the PC counterparts that have posted about controls for "magic", the Xbox seems to suffer from the same problems. I chose the Jew class, and was given the Dragonsbreath (I think that was what it was called...lol!) as my first magic spell. I should have recorded my husband and I trying just to follow Cartman's tutorial. It took us at least five minutes to finally fire off a successful mega-fart. Tutorial wise, that was hella-long. I too noticed that using the spell in the environment, doesn't require the same set of controls, as it does in combat (or the tutorial).

One thing is for certain, I suck at blocking. Now having said that, I have managed to build my d-bag fairly well offensively, so I most certainly am getting through combat. In fact, even with me being bad at blocking, I am really enjoying the combat. (the ambient banter during combat is also funny, and adds to the experience. heh!)

Like a few other posters, I am exploring a LOT! The side-scroll effect reminds me a bit of Lugi's Mansion (which my husband and I played together as our first Gamecube game, back in the day), and I find it fits the "episodic" feel of South Park. My only complaint is MORE LOOT! (I am an admitted "magpie" when it comes to the shinies. ) Because I am spending so much time exploring, I haven't progressed terribly far into the main quests. (this is partly due to husband going to bed early, and me still wanting to play.) No matter though...I have never been troubled with taking much longer at games, than the so called "estimated gameplay time".

As for saving progress, it reminds me of how Zelda (or at least the Zelda games I have played), seem to handle saves. I would prefer a different save system, but it is, what it is. At least for now, the relatively small playing field I have opened, means that I don't have to back track to much, if I screw up on "checkpoint" saves. I have gotten in the habit of manually saving, right after I see Wellington Bear show up, in the bottom right hand corner. Whether I am wasting my time doing that, I will find out later today. LOL!

My overall reaction though is....FUN! Seriously. Even with some of the features (saves/magic) being slightly troublesome, the town, dialogue/banter, combat and exploration is just plain fun. I don't doubt that it helps, that my husband and I are fans of the show, but even still, I would recommend this game to someone who didn't watch the show (so long as they didn't utterly despise the show...heh!)

Ohhh....and one last thing. If anyone who plays on the Xbox has any good tips for the controls on magic, I would be grateful to read any/all advice. Thanks!

And that is my current .02.

I don't use farts in combat, my Mongorian Bow is more than enough to take down most things. (Despite picking up better weapons, I'm still sticking with it.) I wish I could help, but I haven't yet seen a need to use "magic" in combat. Outside of combat, yes. I remember thinking the method for "casting" in combat was far more trouble than it was worth.

 

 

 

My only complaint is MORE LOOT!

 

I'm starting to question my sanity when I am both A) finding pubes in refrigerators and B ) picking them up. I love the junk loot in this game, though. It's all hilarious.

Why didn't you just make one post or a thread to keep them all neatly organized or is this just about padding your post count?

I LOVE the Mongorian Bow!

Spoiler

Added a +10 extra fire damage to make it even more "fiery". lol! Can take out most elves in one to two hits. I am going to switch for a little while with the snowball one (can't remember the name), since frost is a weakness for most hobos.

I have yet to use (successfully) magic in combat, so I have been sticking to melee and special abilities.

The junk loot completely cracks me up. I still have no idea where I picked up "Stevie Nicks" though.

@Shepen, what class are you playing?

As for companions:

Spoiler

Butters is awesome! I suspect Kenny will be good, but unfortunately the first time I took him for a turn, I went up against the rats in Skeeters cellar, and a pack of hobos. Most of those enemies are immune to "gross-out", which is one of Kenny's primary abilities, DOH!

Looking forward to trying out the rest of the companions. *claps enthusiastically!*

[Shepenwepet]

I'm playing as a mage, although you'd never know it. My character - my dark pink-haired, scar-faced character - rarely puts his bow down.

[LPPrince]

I was wondering when Allan would switch to the Mongorian Bow he picked up.

 

Anywho,

Having seen the censored scenes that us Europeans were given instead because reasons, I have to say that they're actually a whole lot funnier that way.

 

Props to the dev team for dealing with it well, seeing as though the censoring was presumably a choice made by their publisher.

Was interested to see what they did. Will scour YT for vids....

[LPPrince]

I caught on to the fart mechanic immediately and was like Allan y

[ObserverStatus]

I think I finally have the magic system figured out, you have to use the a and d keys to guide the arrow on the edge of the oscilloscope to the left side and hold it there.

[LPPrince]

I'm waiting for Allan to find Jesus.

 

Man, if only he was playing as a Jew.

I'm waiting for Allan to find Jesus.

 

In retrospect, I'll have to vacate the thread to make sure I don't accidentally get spoiled something more serious.

 

 

I'll also consolidate my lets play into its own thread just to keep it together rather than having various singleton video links through this one.

[TheChris92]

All I know is that I hope Russel Crowe is in this game in some form or something.

Whelp....got a game breaking bug in SOT.

Spoiler

The tutorial with Randy never brings up the oscilloscope, and no matter what I try, it won't let me past the tutorial. Have reloaded from two different checkpoints, changed outfits (lol....just in case it made a difference.) Can't get it to work. Even finished out some side quests just in case. No difference. Hopefully, they will release a patch for the game soon(ish), so I can finish the game. I really have been enjoying it.

Oh well....

[ATiBotka]

I really want to see if Allan can pass the Alien probe cause its literally impossible for me.

This.

I've tried it many times, but I just can't do it. It's strange when I see other people completing it on their first try.

what are you playing it on?

[ATiBotka]

On PC, with keyboard.

[TobiTobsen]

Meh... still waiting for Ubisoft to finally release the version without "unconstitutional symbols" in Germany.

 

Well, seems like Cartman was right

Oh yeah, I usually have to switch hands for the QTEs, my left hand can't mash the keyboard fast enough.
