Phenotype posted:Or wait until you're level 15, since he doesn't scale that well, and murder him with two casts of the Moses dreidel. The Secret Service guards don't gently caress around. I got through it in about 4 or 5 tries by abusing the everloving gently caress out of stuns and items. Fighters are broken as hell if you build around PP regen and max out Ground Stomp and Bull Rush. I built around Roshambo early on, but since Zombies are immune to gross out I stopped using it in the second half of the game. Ground Stomp hits drat hard and has the easiest command, so it carried me through the last portion of the game once I got the upgrade that makes it stun everyone. If they're armored, Bull Rush them until their armor becomes manageable. I pretty much used Butters the entire game due to having the "regen 2 PP on a heal" perk - I abused his healing touch with this to get back 6 PP per turn.

Cartman's final ability is definitely useful against bosses though, especially against The Sparrow King in Mr. Slave's rear end in a top hat near the endgame. That, and it was probably the funniest ability to use.

That, and it was probably the funniest ability to use. It's also super easy to do. Just rub a pen over all the face buttons real fast. "Press the shown button" QTE-type attacks like Kyle and Kenny have always gently caress me up, though. I grew up in a Nintendo household and I'm not used to using the 360 gamepad so if I try to go by the letter of the button instead of the color I'll screw up.

Stan is the best ally. He has Way of the Sword which means he's a bad rear end. He also cleaves rows. I really wish there was more gear and weapon customization in the game. It pretty much boils down to 1 or maybe 2 good weapons in your level range.

It's cheesy as gently caress, but I ended up using Jimmy to kill Al Gore. Just constantly casting his sleep ability to cause the Secret Service guys to be taken out of the fight over and over again until he was dead then taking down a guy at time after that.

I can't do the ranged fart attack. I'm stuck at where Cartman is teaching you how to do it. I'm playing on PC, following the prompts, but I never get told to click the right mouse, I'm just holding left mouse and pressing A then D in time, but nothing. Any tips? Has anyone else had this issue?

Yea, ignore that stuff during the fart tutorials, A and D are simply used to move around the oval to find the right frequency, it's not a rhythm thing. That goes for the next one you'll learn, too. They really should have playtested that a bit more because it's obvious how confusing those tutorials are, they could have been simplified and explained better. Incidentally for any buddy special where it tells you to push 2 keys down and it looks like it's alternating(Butter's hammer throw for instance) ignore that and just slam A and D together as fast as you can and you'll get the throw prompt in like a second and get the most damage out of it.

I don't like that the game allows you to fight adults. It destroys the idea that the fighting is just kiddie make-believe. If a child confronts an adult he ought to solve the situation through a puzzle or dialogue, like they do in the show.

The game works best when its just some massive story all in the kids imagination.. and well Randy too but Randy is an adult child anyway. If they showed what was really going on it would be like the final fight scene in Major Boobage.

I must've wiped like 3 times to Al Gore, but that was the only difficult fight. And by difficult I mean you just need to pay attention and possibly actually use items before attacking each turn. I'm surprised you can block the shots the Secret Service guys do even if the block prompt doesn't appear, which saves you from getting bleeds, which I guess is where most of the difficulty comes from. Also totally just focusing down the two rifle secret servicemen is all you need to do and the rest is cleanup from there. Oh, I finished the game as Wizard on normal. Maxing out Dragons Breath so it strips armour is so loving good, but I feel like the combat system feels a bit imbalanced where you can't really stack that much armour while the enemy occasionally has fuckton amounts of it. That and you can't really see stat numbers so it feels a little nebulous at where you're going other than upgrading weapons every level or two and putting on more powerful patches/strap-ons.

One of my favorite things about South Park is how often the adults get wrapped up in the kids' make-believe. Stuff like all the citizens getting wrapped up in following Mysterion as a real vigilante; or the revelation that everybody in town is fully aware that there is a Professor Chaos and General Disarray out there up to no good; or the Police buying into the kids as "Junior Detectives" and sending them into a strip club to bust up a crime ring; Craig as The Chosen One etc.

Choosing between Kyle and Cartman was one of the hardest choices I've had to make in an RPG. On the one hand, you've got Stan and Kyle, two of the most recognizable characters on the show. On the other hand you have Butters and Kenny in drag. In the end, Butters won me over.

I really like the combat in this game but I wish there was a difficulty above Hardcore. Fights end way to soon, especially when you abuse stun and multi-hit weapons + bleed.PantsBandit posted:Choosing between Kyle and Cartman was one of the hardest choices I've had to make in an RPG.

I just sided with Cartman because he taught me the "magic" and Kyle just showed up. I will definitely be doing a second playthrough later, choosing all the other things.

Damnit, I really wish for a way to replay missions or a new game + for the future, but I have my doubts. I'm missing two friends and one holy icon. The former is Clyde and the CEO of Chinpokomon, and the latter is Stegmata, which is apparently found in Kyle's garage, but his garage is empty. >< Oh well, I guess I'll have to make sure to get them on my third playthrough.

From watching the show I know that Cartman is a huge rear end in a top hat who will screw anybody over at any opportunity, but even though he's a huge rear end in a top hat in the game too there's nothing about his interactions with Douchebag that would make that character think he should just automatically listen to Kyle. Kyle just tells him,"Cartman's the real bad guy" and then basically threatens him to do as he's told or else, which made it pretty easy for me to reject his side of things. Happily replaying the game means I get to make the opposite choice now!

I chose the opposite against my better judgment because I thought a change of pace might be fun. Jimmy is hilarious and way over powered, but it doesn't make up for losing butters. Stan is boring as hell

I've got an odd glitch, none of my face or hair or helmet accessories are showing up. In my last game I got the Hoff Rynoplasty done and I think that's what knocked it all for a loop. I know it doesn't make that much of a difference, but still. I'll try deleting my saves.

I beat the game yesterday after ramping up the difficulty on my own. I tossed all my consumables and equipped nothing but my PJs and some lovely weapons. I ended up relying on swapping out Kenny and Butters a lot, basically so Butters could heal and Kenny could come in to die and revive.

Ok now I'm really stuck. I got the fart magic and Kenny as my new party member. I decided to explore the forest by the lake to the far left of the map. Suddenly I ended up at the farm south of the Canadian border. The problem is I can't get back! There's a storage truck blocking the road to continue back to town and if I go back to the forest I just encounter endless hordes of wolfes until I end up back at the farm or the Canadian border? What am I missing?

And when Stan says "Don't join Cartman, he's evil!", Cartman replies "Well yea, that's why you should join us". Can't argue with that honesty

I just finished it in 10 hours after doing all the side quests, went back to pick up a couple of missing chinpokomon from the school and now I'm trapped in the hallway after the basement because you can't climb back up the cable you slide down to get there and the doors at the other end are locked with no key, so I guess I wont be finishing that up. Glad I borrowed this from my brother instead of buying it myself because that was short as hell, definitely not worth full launch price.

This game has awesome style and writing. The best game based on a comedy TV show I have played. The Family guy game needed to be something like this. My only criticism would be to do with balance around levels and weapons. Did anyone else hit the level cap long before the game was over? The order you got given a lot of the weapons seemed strange. For example the Katana can be bought outright from Jimbo for twenty something dollars as soon as you have the money. Very late in the game after going to Canada and killing everything he tells you to hunt, you receive a key to open the chest up on the shelf behind him. Both the weapons contained inside are fairly weak and the axe is worse than the Katana. Or was that a joke and I'm just humorless?
