Has there been any preview interviews or anything about how much poop humor will be in the game? Because the the political statements and racism jokes are not really funny, but I'll be on board if there's enough funny too-gross-for-kids-poo poo-and-dicks humor. Will there be Terrance and Peter? Will Mr. Hankey have a role in the game? Why is "The Jew" a class? Why isn't there a "Canadian" class? Jew isn't funny at all as a class, or if it is I don't get the joke, the South Park Canadians are actually really funny and I want to play as total unclefucker.

Grats on having the comedic sophistication of a 12 year old.

Seriously though it takes zero effort to say something that will offend someone while crafting a funny poop joke actually requires wit and talent.

The joke of Cartman calling Kyle a Jew is that somewhere in the world someone is offended by it and that lends you a sense of superiority that is personally gratifying.

If you think the joke of Cartman calling Kyle a Jew is that you're supposed to empathize with Cartman and laugh at the people who are offended by it, you aren't getting the joke.

(Hint: Cartman is a monter.)

(That said, South Park definitely has lots of Bad Fans who take the joke in bad faith and find it funny for exactly the same reason. So did Dave Chapelle and it's literally a large part of what drove him off the air, when too many people found him funny because he was reinforcing their rear end in a top hat stereotypes when what he had set out to do was make fun of them.)

So, are the QTE's in this game broken, or are they supposed to be borderline loving impossible?

I've been stuck at the anal probe mini game for half an hour now. I literally cannot push the A button fast enough. The toilet game routinely takes me half a dozen tries, and I usually have to put the controller down and two hand the A button to stand a chance. This is absurd. Please tell me there's some kind of fix?

Sure, but that may just be for the preorder stuff. Considering the difficulty and delays they had making the game they may not have much appetite for making more, but everything's certainly in place for them to do so if they want.

Preorder stuff doesn't show up there.

Which Chinpokomon or missable? (Or rather, which areas should I not leave until I get a Chinpokomon from inside of them?) It hadn't occurred to me to worry about this, but now I'm terrified that I'm already screwed.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come across that way. It wasn't that it was garbage, sorry. It was incomplete and THQ was pushing to get it out the door incomplete. It was garbage in the sense that it wasn't balanced and many areas were devoid of content. I definitely don't want to imply that Ubisoft did all the work here, the guys at Obsidian worked tirelessly. THQ execs were pushing to get the incomplete product out ASAP in order to save themselves. That's why it was garbage at that point.

Glad to hear you guys have learned the lessons of Obsidian Publishers Past.

It's nice to see what happens when they're given time to finish a game with real QA. :)

So, what's the deal with the stickers and gear that provide a boost to one/two handed weapon damage? Is there any way to tell whether a weapon is either one or two handed for that matter?

I find it bizarre that some QTEs are impossible to complete with my Xbox controller, yet works okayish (if hard) with the keyboard :iiam:

I found the mash one button QTE's (Toilets, the start of night one, the final battle of day two when you need to fart back an attack) to be literally impossible with my game pad and still nearly impossible with my keyboard.

I gave up and made an Autohotkey script to mash 'A' or 'S' as needed.

It might be some weird edge case with different hardware or software, at least on the PC.

I am pretty convinced at this point that something like this is going on. There's too much variation for it not to be, and also I'm normally pretty good at QTEs.


Additional unrelated question: for a high level Jew with maxed out plagues, is there an optimal combination/order to summon them in?

Yeah, I think the game works so well for the most part because of that. They're just doing "kids are kids" with a few wild crazy things thrown in and it works really well. The nature of it as a game also basically prevents any real Current Events things with a few exceptions. (And even the Al Gore thing probably only got in because of Manbearpig and is pretty far from Current Event at this point.) It plays to South Park's strengths.

There's a pretty cutting (by Jimmy's Stand Up standards) Obamacare one-liner if you take him to Mackey's storage locker.

So what kind of fantasy archetype does the Jew class fall under? How does the class feel to play?

AoE debuffs, and a super strong single target minus-armor attack will be your bread and butter. The various class specific gear is mostly garbage that let's you do more damage at low HP or wih various debuffs on you.

It's not a paladin, and doesn't feel like a paladin at all. Butters is a Paladin.

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.

He does not. He says he wants pelts to make robes, but no quest. My most recent quest is still telling me to show him the documents.

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.

Is there an easy way to tell if a weapon is 2 handed or not? or are all melee 1 handed and its only referring to bows.

On the equipment screen, if the bottom of the weapon is resting on the ground, it's two handed.

Alternately, you can exit the equip screen with a weapon equipped and walk downwards do the New Kid is facing you. You'll see if a weapon is being held in one or two hands.

Putting together the wishlist for the next patch so if anyone has any egregious bugs they saw let me know so I can try and include them, or any little annoyances. I've already got PC K&M stuff (tutorial/minigames), QTE difficulty and overall difficulty on my wishlist.

My absurd wish list item: some way to double back and chase down the few missable collectibles/achievements.

What are the bonuses on the class Armor/Weapons for each class?

I know for the Jew it's all bomus damage at low HP or when debuffed, but I have no idea what the 'theme' for other classes is.

So how do people use ability points on Jews? I put my first one in Jew-Jitsu because the later level bonuses looked nice, but the button mashing for it is annoying - The sling is easier to pull off IMO but the additional level perks don't seem as nice.

It's important to Max out circumcision and plagues. You'll have enough points to Max one other ability. I went with Jew Jitsu because I found the shield and stun useful at low levels, but the sling might be better if you're going for the achievement where your buddy never dies (inflicts Pissed Off).

Circum-scythe inflicts bleeding on the target (and maybe gross out too?) and can be upgrade to gross out every other enemy on screen when used. :black101:

Also Doom Dreidel can be upgraded to cause burning and bounce a fuckton.

Basically Jew is the best class.

Circumscythe also cuts enemy armor in half. It owns.
