South Park: Stick of Truth "New Kid in Town" gameplay demo [13 min]

After all the delays I didn't have much hope for this but the gameplay looks fun enough and the writing seems great. Guess I have to go dig the old PS3 out of retirement

Needed to do that for Dark Souls II anyway

Trying to decide if I should pick this up for PS3 or hoping a PS4 version is announced for later this year. After the terrible sales for Tomb Raider for PS4 I'm not getting my hopes up for a port

Whoa, looks way better than I anticipated. Already preordered it for about $20, so I can't wait to play it. The intro has plenty of humor, so the rest of the game I imagine will be just as good.
 
Game looks great. It was only 13 mins, but I was already laughing at some of the jokes. I'll definitely be choosing a thief when I first play it.

any word on average length to beat the game is going to be?

I'm curious about this as well. I hope its a pretty lengthy game.

I already knew I was going to buy this, but that video was so good I just might upgrade to the Grad Wizard edition if I still have time (as if I could afford it).

I was confident I could "resist" being a Jew my first playthrough like everyone else, but they have staves and those are my favorite! Yet i really want to hear what he says about black thieves too.

man, that Jew class, has me cracking up at work.

i wonder what their skillset / fighting technique is.

white magic?

it was an early "spoiler" so I'm not sure if it still holds true, but I distinctly remember reading in a preview that
Jews are supposed to deal more damage at low HP

The writing is top notch. Damn, shame cant play it. :(
 
I look forward to a future where all property based video games can recreate the visuals just like this games does, god damn it looks EXACTLY the same, am I wrong in saying this is the first time this has happened?

This took years and a lot of money to do... most licensed properties will not go this route even if they could.

Not gonna watch the vid to avoid spoilers, I saw a good 60 seconds of it though and it looks epic.

I already preordered it on PC a couple weeks ago.

I can't tell from the first 10 minutes... is this supposed to be a side-scrolling game the whole time, or is it fully 3-D?

FFXIII had the best menus/battle system of an RPG I've ever seen. I'm not sure what your point here is?


Anyway, excited for this!


It's all just opinions and all but ick. I don't have as much disdain for XIII as some but the combat system, especially in the first game, was really lousy. I'll never understand how this team reached the apex of what they were striving for with X-2 with wonderful fast paced ATB and job swapping then decided to hit it with a sledge hammer. To me, it (XIII) was polished and easily consumable but that was about it.

Back on topic, the game looks great, video caused me to bite.

The interplay between the game they're playing, the game you're playing, and the setting recognizing the game they're playing through the game you're playing is great.

A next-gen port must have a "10% Better Graphics!" sticker.

These got released today... I thought they were pretty cool. Since I cannot create a new thread, they are being added here (and the artwork thread for historic purposes).

If a senior member thinks they are good enough to create a new thread for them. great.

Where are you seeing reviews? I checked metacritic and all 3 platforms for Stick of Truth show a TBD score.

Reference to Fallout: New Vegas, Obsidian's previous game, famously getting an 84 on Metacritic when it needed an 85 for the developers to get a contractual bonus from Bethesda. With the 84 they got zilch, and didn't receive any royalties for the game, either, despite it being a huge success.

Well, there seemed to be an item that
gives the Jew more attack power with each debuff they have on them.

Still the most ridiculous thing ever. Hopefully Ubi won't screw them over and both SPP:SoT & Pillars of Eternity will sell well

Ah I didn't know the reference, thanks. Hopefully we get some reviews and impressions in soon.
 
I can already tell this is going to be a long title.
Think about it, 13 minutes in and he still has to learn how to fart.
I wouldn't be surprised with everything competed this game runs 25 hours.

They even put Stan's gay dog, Sparky! I just love all this dedication and fan service. They seem to have gone all out for this game. I love that.

This game looks amazing. I don't have a pre-order since I'm already committed to Dark Souls 2, but good lord. Jew as a playable class? Definitely know what I'm rolling first time. I was going to try and stay as closely affiliated with Cartman the first time but I guess that won't be happening.
