LORD OF BOOTY posted:...not really? You just seem to think South Park is actually above doing that, and people are pointing out that they're absolutely the gently caress not above doing that and have done similar jokes and worse in the past. I mean, you guys produced a long list of things that are not a child sex orgy. They are things that are tasteless, violent, upsetting, or disturbing. But they're not a bunch of kids explicitly loving each other, and especially not loving each other to scare away a homosexual, which is where this whole derail came from. And all of those things listed served an actual narrative purpose. Ike loving his teacher was satirical. It was demonstrating how loving wrong it is that people don't see a hot female teacher loving a boy student as abuse. Bust Rodd posted:Actually I suggested they just smooch but you took it there in your creepy derail. You wanted Cartman to get cucked, which is the stupidest loving meme. No, it's not explicitly a child orgy, but it was in response to someone thinking that there could possibly have been a child orgy in the episode and you were offering an alternative. I assure you that me saying, "I don't think there should be child orgies or child cucking in South Park," is not me taking this thread to creepy places. I'm trying to do the exact opposite of that. I'm saying, "Hey guys, maybe South Park doesn't need these things to be interesting or funny." And you guys thankfully provided a whole list of things that South Park has done that were funny and didn't involve a child orgy.

How many shows have been able to just maintain quality, not improve, after the original creative force left? Veep is the only show I can think of. The Simpsons having a complete turnover in the writing team certainly didn't work in its favor.

Matt & Trey still being heavily involved is the only thing that makes the show have any dignity after 21 years. Even if it's not great it still feels like itself, it feels genuine. Changing the creative team could potentially make it funnier, but it wouldn't be South Park anymore. Also, having a story arc as a C-story like this season did isn't really "serialization" or even a new thing for this very show. Almost every season has something like that -- remember the season where Kenny was dead? Or even any white bread '90s sitcom you can name. It's very common for episodic TV.

The kenny dead season didn't have a c plot or any arc to it beyond a few bits with kenny soul trapped in cartman though. Sure they made a few gags. But the episodes could be watched in any order and be the same aside from the butters and tweak swap for replacement kenny. But with cartman and heidi, the c plot was actually serialized and had a story arc of sorts.

Say what you will about the quality of that show but he hasn't been that creatively involved and still just doing voices. It's not inconceivable that Matt and Trey step back. To be honest, creatively this season of South Park was far less of a let down than the difference between Stick of Truth and Fractured but Whole.

I've been rewatching the earlier seasons, and by far the best years are late 00s to early-mid 10s. The early seasons are too dumb, albeit with a few charmers in there. They needed to get rid of characters like mr hat, mephisto, and the bus driver lady to name a few to make the show more grounded.

The best seasons start in s5 and go to somewhere in the early teens. So that would be around 01 > 10 or so. It's hard to say when the run ended but it's easy to say s5 is where they hit their stride. s6 is unarguably one of the best seasons they have done.

I mean, I guess they could've done a throwaway gag where Stephen King is in town (for some reason?) and they could have him like sniffing his fingers and acting really sketchy, and then he runs into the kids in the woods and he suggests that all the kids have a big gangbang. But that kind of random, obscure and pointless celebrity cameo and pop culture reference would be what Family Guy would've done. I don't think there's any way to work that in that'd be funny.

Maybe if he's also the one who convinces them to go into the woods in the first place. And then after suggesting the gangbang, it turns out that he's actually Roy Moore in disguise, and then it turns out that Roy Moore and Garrison are both just part of a big alien spider thing, and then the kids point out that none of this makes any sense or logically follows from the preceding events.

Atlas Hugged posted:I mean, we're talking about a child sex orgy or children cucking Cartman. It's less that it's in bad taste and more that's it's a weird sexual fetish with children. It doesn't really belong on TV in any capacity. This show once had an episode full of talk about four year olds' "'ginies tingling". That is the point at which South Park becomes too much.

Can we stop talking about the children and gangbangs? I was horrified until someone pointed out it was an IT reference, at which point I'm like "well, then at least its not as bad as the guy who said he wanted Rick to "blow a load in Morty's hiney'", but everyone keeps talking about ways to work in the gangbang and have Stephen King sniffing his fingers and it's starting to creep me out even more now.

It will never stop because if It is brought up because someone always tries their hardest to work in a child sex reference even with the flimsiest of connections. It's like a badge of honor or something if they get to introduce someone to the fact a thing happened in a book.

LoL @ complaining over and over again about our child sex derail, so mortified by our content that they must continue the derail until everyone reading the thread knows that we are all crossing the imaginary line in the sand they have drawn for cartoon mid-western town. Also I didn’t use the word cuck at all because I don’t have brain damage. It would have been a funny reference to IT and it would have just pissed Cartman off and made him really mad, which is like the exact opposite effect the d-d-dreaded “C” word is supposed to have. Maybe stop clutching your pearls over a show that depicted using aborted fetuses to build chain pizza restaurants...

evilmiera posted:Would you mind elaborating? I just finished Fractured but never played Stick. Fractured But Whole is a good game, but as a followup to Stick of Truth, in a lot of ways it's like a new Call of Duty game. SoT had the surprise value to it, in that nobody knew what to expect from a South Park game, and then it was really awesome and fun. But Whole is more or less the same map with a different story line and collectibles in the same / different spots so it loses some of its charm. But it's way better than the turd fest that was South Park for Nintendo 64

It's a shame because as a game Fractured But Whole was way better than Stick of Truth (better RPG elements, much better battle system, etc.. ). It's just it wasn't as funny so Stick of Truth is the better South Park game.

I heard similar things about the joke/writing quality of the games, that Stick was better written but Fractured is more fun to play. Having never played Stick I can't say for sure if that is the case (aside from seeing some of the better jokes on YouTube) but I do know I had fun playing Fractured so it might just hold true.

It definitely feels like the writing on Stick of Truth was a littlr better then Fractured, but they're both great games on their own merits. The ending for Fractured did feel like how a much older episode would wrap up so that was nice. Both games are great, and I'm glad Fractured But Whole has future DLC.

Does fractured fights require you to use more than just one op skill? I remember playing as a mage on stick and you just had to use that fire crackers attached to a football? move and you pretty much instantly won any fight

The Croc posted:Does fractured fights require you to use more than just one op skill? It's grid based, with attacks having zones, like all your surrounding squares, or a straight line in front of you, etc. There is no "use this over and over mindlessly to win" attack, although you can most battles fairly quickly if you use teamwork or exploit the bosses' gimmicks. There are about twelve classes to pick from for your character, but you eventually multiclass for story reasons, eventually unlocking them all. There are a lot of kids to choose from this time, and can be used to support your playstyle or just because they are beautiful boys with confusing PDA. (HAND HOLDING!?!?!) Wonder Tweek and Super Craig's Ultimate Super Move is amazing, you guys. I used the Brutalist four-way fart, the Blaster (my starting class) three square knockback flame swipe, the Cyborg magnet pull, and the Psychic super move (partywide full heals and shields) and I controlled the playing field pretty well with that. All four moves used Spunk as their base stat, so equipment choice was pretty easy. Captain Diabetes never left my party, and I also usually had Super Craig, too. They're bruisers who get shields with some of their attacks, which also have knockback so usually things happened the way I wanted them to happen. Earlier on I had Fastpass, Wonder Tweak or the Human Kite in my third slot for their heals, but once I got the Psychic and Plantomancer classes unlocked, I switched over to The Coon or Mysterion for more shoving people around. Having said that, there are a lot of super effective strategies and party compositions one could use, it's really up to you. I sort of fell backwards into status effects and position manipulation. Next time I probably won't use any physical attacks at all on my character, and keep the villain who switches sides in my party at all times. CAPT.
