Yeah, putting DoTs and stuns on enemies before opening fights, then applying 5 stacks of bleed damage to everybody in the first turn really made the fights go by quickly. I had a great time doing it too, by the way. It was easy, but I thought it was the fun kind of easy because you still got to see all the debuff stacks and so fourth.

You see what I mean about going first now though? If you melee attack the enemy on the map you go first, if you just walk up to them and they attack you they go first. So you either murder half of them before they can even act or you start your first turn debuffed and with a dead companion. It is kind of fun breaking the game and just murdering everything super quick but when you get to that point the game needs to be wrapping up soon because it gets old fast. It worked out okay for this game since I was rolling into  by the time it started to get old.

I'm still not even halfway through the game (I think) but my favorite thing so far is definitely the "mini-puzzle" element by which you can win fights using environmental objects. I wish there were a lot more of that but it's understandable why there isn't. After doing the Sewers I'm missing exactly ONE Homeless Camp.

Also the one inside the big truck by the storage place is kind of easy to miss

How graphics intense is it? In theory, it looks as though it could be played on any computer capable of playing movies. Not sure if that's a realistic assumption or not. I swear to god, Steam lies whenever they put minimal and recommended system requirements.

Really enjoying the game. Nothing quite like starting the underpants section with other people in the room who are just casually watching TV, but can easily see what's happening on my monitor

I want a Call of Cthulu-themed one-off. Three dungeons or so, final battle with Cthulu, sanity meters and a handful of sidequests in a 1920's sepia-toned South Park. Cartman turning into Yog-Sothoth would be a nice bonus.

There's really no need for a sequel; the game looks literally perfect. Just make more stories using it. I'd welcome DLC forever for this.

I think you can write freely with any of his characters. Only specific franchises, like the CoC Tabletop games and the films, are things that have licenses. I'm not sure if there's seperate rights for video game adaptations, but considering how many old school adventure games just lifted Lovecraft poo poo willy-nilly, I cannot imagine it's a particularly difficult license to obtain. Of course, having the South Park kids LARPing the CoC Tabletop game would be awesome, so it may be costly to do it that route.

I'm hoping for some Craaaab people, Craaaaab people DLC. Costs like DLC, plays like an expansion pack. Craaaab people, craaaab people. There is a bit of a hook for it in the sewer...

I'd like to see DLC that is more like a point and click adventure, a la the great LucasArts games. I felt the combat in this game was the worst part, by far. I'd even say it was bad.

How do you properly perform Death by a Thousand Cuts on a keyboard? I know it's WASD in the direction the ninjas need to strike. Should I be looking at their eyes and hit that direction? Do I need to enter diagonal inputs? As in A and S at the same time?

Like I mentioned earlier in the thread Paper Mario Thousand Year door is one of my all time favorite RPGs. The game has actually been pretty difficult for me as well, got my first game over last night.

Trey Parker, at SDCC 2013 posted:We started off handing over the script, and it was about 850 pages long, and it had just about every character and everything. We started to just, you know, track "when does this mean it would come out?" And we started looking at holiday season 2032. Which is exciting for us! I think we're on track. But we really became aware of 'it's finished" and the whole thing of "let's cut it down some, let's cut it down some, let's cut it down some, let's cut it down some" And everyone kept saying that word to us... Not word, that phrase to us... Not phrase, those letters to us... DLC. And they're like, "Oh, just make it DLC." [some groans] I agree, gently caress that! [crowd cheers] They said "If it doesn't make it into the game, you can make it DLC." I said, "gently caress you! I'll make it an episode!" Somehow or another this should all get out there, and the game will be cool, and... the show will be cool.

So the scene where (end game spoilers) you're giving the abortion to the bomb in Mr Slaves rear end is some seriously funny poo poo. If you fail it, you're treated to a scene of the nuke going off and then boom roll credits. It's like the game just goes "WELP YOU hosed UP! GUESS THAT'S HOW HIS STORY ENDED!" It is so perfect, I had to just sit back and admire it. Also, this game has caused me to try and catch episodes of South Park I never got around to. I've seen everything up to about season 11, after that is sporadic. Anyone have any good suggestions for later seasons? I've seen the multi-part episodes already.

Wow if you've only seen up to season 11, there are some great ones since that time. About Last Night, Fishsticks, Butters' Bottom Bitch, Pee, Medicinal Fried Chicken, Crippled Summer, Creme Fraiche, Funnybot, Crack Baby Athletic Association, Cash for Gold, Cartman finds Love. A lot of episodes are pretty polarizing though so really just watch them all, figure out which ones you like. Also if you've watched up to season 11 and not all of it, if you haven't seen With Apologies to Jesse Jackson, that is a great episode. And the first scene is absolutely hilarious.

Season 15 has 'You're Getting Old' and 'rear end Burgers', where the show went really introspective, and quite a few people speculated that Parker and Stone wanted to quit making new episodes of South Park.

One of the cliques is literally "The girls" and you have to infiltrate them by cross dressing. It would change the entire context of the scene. There's honestly a lot of wigs and makeup in the game to make your main character look like a girl and since they dont talk, you even forget theyre a boy.

I am ready to defend Kupa Keep! This game is loving hilarious. Questions: There's an achievement for completing the game without selling anything. Is there enough money to both do this and buy all the weapons/armor for that achievement? The achievement for never ending a battle with a dead buddy, how does that work? They can die, but as long as you revive them before the end you're good? How does that work with the final battle?
