Are some of the Chinpokomon just totally ungettable if you miss them during initial playthru? I missed out on Pteradaken and now I cant get back to the spot where the guide says he is...

I don't understand why people have such a hard time with the button mashing. I just mashed the buttons like crazy and managed to pass it. The game is alot easier to play with a 360 pad.

Some people have trouble pressing buttons that quickly, the toilet QTE in this game is super hard for me.

Depends, to me the A on a 360 controller isn't super ergonomic but I can hammer a keyboard number key a dozen times a second.

Was there any better armor and weaponry than the Knight set and the Sweet Katana?

I thought the pink floppy dildo you pick up near the end of the game was a better weapon than the katana. I know it had an Up arrow in the item screen. I don't think there were any better armors, though - the higher level ones, in my opinion, had much less useful bonuses.

To me, the only thing that really keeps the game from being perfect for what it could be is that you never really get to go to any true "fictional" realms in the South Park mythology. You don't get to visit Heaven, Hell, or Imaginationland. Even though the environments you do get to visit are varied, the "fantasy" realms in South Park are really epic and over the top and I think they would have fit perfectly in this game. Maybe I'm just spoiled, but I kind of found the game's world just a bit... plain? I mean it's incredibly dense and well realized and there was obviously a ton of work put into it, and I loved the parts that were there, but when you've seen so many South Park characters battle in and explore all those other cool rear end places over the years, it really makes me wish I could too.

I haven't given up hope for the expansion pack though. Hopefully they'll make one.

I thought it was a bit much to expect a ton of other locations once I saw how much care had gone into the South Park map. Maybe, if we get a sequel in the same engine, they'll have time to make Hell or Imaginationland, but I was pretty happy just to get to go to Canada, and there were plenty of cool, offbeat locales like the alien ship or the inside of the walls. But I really liked all the detail that went into creating the areas we had available to us.

KNEEL BEFORE THE WICKED KING!
Finished the game earlier today as a Fighter on Hardcore and, yeah, it's super easy to the point where I only game overed twice (Al Gore the first time, and then the mousetrap when I wasn't paying attention :v:). Don't mind though; much rather it be easy and fun than too difficult or longwinded. Working on postgame cleanup, and I don't think I missed anything permanent, but dunno yet. We'll see.

Anyway, while doing this I figured that by now that locked building to the left of the Rhinoplasty would have something in it. The office-y building, with just a woman sat at a desk who never speaks unless you fart on her or something. Checked at the very beginning of the game, and got nothing from it so I went back now. Still can't seem to find anything there, and not for a lack of trying. Bit weird that it'd be locked when there's nothing in it but like 2 pieces of destructible environment, though. I know if it does have something it's not gonna be that major, since the map has no (important) treasure listed at least.

Goddamn. 2 game breaking bugs in a row. I'm just gonna return this loving game to Redbox. My last 3 hours of play have been replaying old saves trying to get one that doesn't crash the game on a certain fight, then I finally find one and within 15 minutes I run into another bug that makes it impossible to progress. the fart wont blow the front door of the school up after the part where butters is launching poo at you. I even looked up multiple walkthroughs to make sure I was doing it right

Any fun I was having is completely overshadowed by this bullshit. gently caress this game.

The crab people set have the best armour, I think. I used that and the knight gauntlets with the fairy princess blade, since it ignores armour.

Did you launch the flaming poo yourself to light the barricade on fire and make sure you're using the right fart? If so, sorry about the bug. :(

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
So in an effort to make the girls like me, I ended up dressed up like a girl, wearing surgical scrubs, giving an abortion to Randy Marsh (who was also dressed like a girl), before being attacked by nazi zombie Kardashian fetuses.

That... that escalated quickly.

Yeah, I did that and it's on fire but the farts don't do anything. :( Tried every fart from every direction at least 50 times each.

It' a real shame because I really like the game. I think this is the first time I have ever been totally unable to complete a game because of bugs.

I have no idea why the nazi zombies are so loving hilarious to me. I don't mean, like, a little funny or something, pretty much any time they show up I'm cracking up. I don't know why.

This game is awesome, the extra time Ubisoft gave Obsidian to do polish work really paid off. It's so nice to see them not get hosed by a publisher for once.

It seems people are having far less problems with the PC version. I haven't had any problems, though Alt+Tabbing did mess up the cutscenes once. Perhaps snap that up instead?

So, I'm at the end of day 1. I'm getting abducted by aliens and I have to clench my rectum by mashing A really fast. I can't mash a button that fast, I get 3/4th of the meter. Max. Is there a way to skip this?

The button mash QTEs blow. (Whereas, personally, I had zero issue with the various fart tutorials or the abortion or DDR mini games that people in this thread have complained about a whole bunch. I have a suspicion that the former in particular is much easier with a gamepad.)

After spending like two hours on and off trying to get through the abduction I got fed up and made an AutoHotkey Script that mashed 'S' 15 times in a row instantly and got past it with one button press.

With our special guest star, RUSH! YAYYYYYYYYY

The only thing I personally had a problem with was the second part of the abortion minigame, like I said before they do a terrible job telling you what you're supposed to be doing (Don't try to be careful or pay attention to the prompt, just rotate the stick as fast as you can). All the fart tutorials after the very first one were easy for me, and I didn't have that much trouble with the button mashing or rhythm QTEs either. This was on a Dualshock 4.

I think they should tone down the button mashing, though. If you have to tap the button like a madman or need to resort to autohotkey scripts/foreign objects to pass those QTEs, I think that's just bad game design.

I've had a couple of bugs on the PC version that needed a reset, but fortunately both times I had an autosave from a minute previously.
First one was during the counter attack tutorial where I'd block the attacks, the dude falls over and then nothing happens and everyone just stands there. Cartman didn't even say his bit explaining that I could now counter. This happened twice when I messed up the block the first time, but the time I got it right first time everything went as normal.
Second was knocking down a ladder when I was right below it. My character immediately got stuck in the ladder climbing animation but wouldn't move.

Yeah the second anal probe can be difficult with a keyboard. The problem with the fart tutorials lie with how key presses are portrayed where it looks like you are supposed to alternate keys if you miss the little arrow on the edge of the wavelength. It is more evident what you need to do when you use a controller.

Hello, My name is Lip Synch. Right now, I'm making a post that is anti-bush or something Micheal Moore would be proud of because I and the rest of my team lefty friends (koba1t included) need something to circle jerk to.
The game would be much improved for PC if:

1. They explained that there are arrows you move around on the fart frequency thing. Once I figured out it wasn't a press buttons in order it got much easier.
2. They let you know that dancing required arrow keys, wasd doesn't register.
3. They toned down button mashing requirements for keyboard users.

That's not working right then. Might want to reload a save from before you walked into Winnipeg. You're supposed to talk to him, get a new quest to go kill the dire bears in town, do that, and then go back to him and get told about your next step.

I think a lot of the strength in South Park's writing comes from their ability to take a single dumb joke to ridiculous lengths. Case in point (night 2 spoilers) the part where you shrink down and your parents have dirty sex. At first it's subtle. You can hear their sex noises from behind the wall and you're like "oh that's pretty hosed up haha." Then you get into the room and can actually see them going at it in graphic detail. Then you end up actually fighting under their swinging genitalia.

They just keep upping the ante until the joke is almost not funny anymore.

Towards the end I felt like they were using too many old jokes from the show, but it was still great and I do appreciate the fan service. Didn't run into any bugs. The best game of the year so far and I hope they release some good DLC for this.
