Do Ubisoft games go on sale on Steam? If so, I'm definitely waiting for that, as I want to play this, but the price tag is pretty ridiculous.

Oh no! A game priced the same as all the other games has a ridiculous cost. :rolleyes:

That's actually like the easiest part of the early game, just keep moving, it ends when you reach a certain point so don't worry about attacking. The turn interrupter should always give you a chance to move everyone out of the way.

At least here in Canada, it's $80 on Steam. This is higher than most brand-new AAA games, which are $60-70; Total War: Warhammer II is $70, for instance. The last game I saw at $80 was XCOM 2 and I remember thinking it was surprisingly high, too. So no, it's not the same as all the other games, at least not everywhere.

Edit: Shadow of War is also $80, apparently, so it's becoming more common.

Not that I've seen? I mean, as I put in my edit, Total War: Warhammer 2 is $71, if you count that (I do, Total War games aren't cheap). I don't buy a whole lot so maybe it snuck up on me, but $80 does seem higher than the usual to me.

Going by big-publisher games released this year, I'm seeing South Park, Shadow of War, Resident Evil 7, Nier Automata, For Honor, Wolfenstein, GR: Wildlands and Ni-No-Kuni 2 all for 80bux on Steam. Both Civ 6 and Xcom 2 from last year still cost that much too. Battlefront 2 is the same on Origin, and I'll bet you a dollar Destiny 2 is identical Battlenet. Not sure why TW2 is cheaper, am sure why Prey is already heavily discounted at a cool 50 though.

No bet, because Battle.net doesn't give me prices in Canadian dollars for whatever reason. (It is $60 USD.)

I guess it's more common than I thought nowadays (most of those other games are not on my radar except Nier: Automata, which I bought on PS4 for $70 CAN), so I guess I'm wrong... but it's still pretty high and I don't blame anyone asking if it's likely to go on sale.

How I see it is I really liked Stick of Truth, but ultimately what I got out of it was the entertainment value of a really long and pretty good South Park episode. If I can wait and pay less than $60 for that I'll do it rather than pay full price.

It's like being back in the 90's with N64 games that were just ludicrously expensive in comparison to modern PC and console games.

Has anyone ,managed to beat Morgan Freeman

Just did, after beating the game.

My Team:
Myself as a ranged type (crack baby DNA, baby! :v:) With Blaster fireballs, psychic defence x attack, the plantamancer heal and the Gageteer Super.
Mysterion (if he dies he can take care of the add with chain confusion/freeze)
Super Craig (useful for his taunt)
Call Girl (taunt is also super useful).


The strategy of the fight is to:
Not let Morgan use his AoE Fart. Keeping him enraged will make him use million dollar bitchslap, which is very manageable to use. Split up your team to avoid having everyone get aoe'd to death, and summon your clone whenever you can to cancel out his aoe attacks and pummel him with the drone super. I beat it with 800 or so might.

Also for someone upthread, it is an achievement.

I had issues with this as well until I just spammed the dash moves like the speedster one and captain diabetes' sugar rush (which I think is triangle on ps4). It'll always push you forward and ahead of the strippers and destroy the obstacles. Always just keep dashing forward and you'll get to the end of the room and the fight will end.

Unfortunately it doesn't help when there isn't anything to dash into other than things one square away :( If that attack didnt require a target or didn't stop at the first thing hit this whole thing would be a lot more bearable.

$60 US is about $76 Canadian right now. So $80 might be a couple dollars high, but it's still comparable.

I beat the game last night. I think it's a pretty fun game, but it's not as funny as Stick of Truth. My favorite section was Mephesto's crazy rear end lab and Craig just pointing out how ridiculous everything was. Overall there's just not as many outrageous scenes like in Stick of Truth.

Super Craig's total lack of effort in his costume is very funny to me for some reason.

It's even better because Wonder Tweak is also partly half assed with WT taped to his shirt. Also The Coon ragging on Craig's costume during fights is funny.

Also the Coon with Captain Diabetes you get the, "Diabetes claims another victim" line when he kills any enemies.

The best piece is the chin balls that you don't take off when you go out of costume. Just walking around with balls on your chin. Even when Cartman is doing the backstory bits, you still got the balls on the chin like you were born with it.

I think there's a bug with Big Gay Al's Big Gay Cats. I've found them all but there's only five in his house and he's telling me to go to Sodosopa for the final one, but I've already brought that one back.

Edit. Doesn't seem to be tied to achievements either for getting the cats or getting all selfies so I guess it's no big deal really. Still annoying to have a quest thread dangling there.

The game seems glitchy in general about quests. I only received Craig's message to meet him at Tweek's after completing the mission, and recall a few other things out of whack. It also crashed twice.

I’m not sure if this is intentional or not, but I received an error message and had my game crash when I tried to look at Coonstagram when I travelled to the past before the New Kid bossfight. I saw the message about Coonstagram not accounting for time zone and tried to look at it and got summarily kicked out of the game. If it was intentional, that’s brilliant.

I think the new battle system is super cool and the flexibility that you get with what powers you have plays into the whole childhood fantasy of being able to choose what you want whenever you want. Plus Cartman getting exasperated whenever you want to change your class is hilarious.

Just beat it, the actual final boss fight being a breather with Kyle and Cartman loving with each other was pretty great, King Douchebag was a fair brawl and Kyle's mutant cousin was complete horseshit. I noticed there's a season pass, they better put out some DLC where I can play super villains with Butters. Also the game let's you beat up Randy, Sheila and Butter's dad and that's pretty fantastic.

Yeah I wish the soundtrack was on Spotify.

It seems easy to miss things or side quests, a lot of times they won't get marked until you go start them. For example the Craig/Tweek quest on day 2 only gets activated if you go to the coffee shop, and don't ignore messages you get asking for help (like at one point Cartman's mom asks for help on Coonstagram)

I was thinking it's easy to get tons of money from selling the thousands of crafting parts you get but if you want all the recipes and costumes you'll get barely enough money if you sell all but like 70 of each material

If you sell all your scrap you can get a bunch of money, and I learned from one of my coworkers that it won't take the money back from you if you use the buy back option. I just kept selling and buying my scrap a bunch of times until I had like $1k and I never had to worry about money again.

Might want to get more because you need at least $5k to buy the assassination contract from the city wok guy to be able to get a selfie.

Also for this tip if you have at least 2997 of an item, you can make it so that you don't have to keep increasing the quantity to sell to 999 and it'll keep the value when going between the buyback menu and sell menu.
