No love for A Nightmare on Face Time? I thought that was a darn good Randy episode.

That, the ziplining one and Raising the Bar (worth watching solely for the James Cameron song) are pretty good, still far from being anything close to the best the show has to offer though.
Some pretty terrible episodes in seasons 15-16 (especially the first half of season 16, ugh), I'm glad that, while not a real return to form, season 17 managed to keep some consistency throughout.
Second half was an improvement (except for Going Native jesus), but the first half was terrible. Lowest point of the series (maybe we could argue about one of the earlier seasons, 2-4 weren't really that great), though season 17 would have been there if not for the Black Friday trilogy. Sad after season 15 which was mostly fantastic.
The ziplining episode was terrible, in my opinion. Definitely one of my least favourite South Park episodes. That live action sequence was just...ugh.

Season 17 was awful bar the last four episodes. Those last four episodes saved the season somewhat, but overall I found it to be a very weak season.

I know it gets a lot of hate, maybe my opinion is influenced by the fact the preceding episodes were just so unbelievably bad that it felt like a breath of fresh air in comparison, but I thought it was pretty funny overall.
As for season 17, it never was particularly good, expect for the black friday trilogy, but it didn't reach the lows of season 16 or 15 either (Human CentiPad, Funnybot, the crack baby thing and most of it really were just bad imo - sure You're getting old is a classic and The last of the Meheecans is Butters at his best).

The best episode of season 17 wasn't actually in the black friday trilogy imo. My favourite episode of the season was the final episode. The Wendy focused episode. That episode took me completely by surprise. I don't think it was the funniest episode ever or anything, but it's the strongest emotional connection I've had with a South Park episode in some time.
Oof, I'd almost forgotten about that one amidst the whole black friday business.
That ending.
Yeah, that was my favourite one, too. One of my favourite episodes in years, actually.

And that right there is what is going to make this game great. The comedy. We all grew up on turn based combat and sure, gaming has evolved since then but with South Parks humor it will be awesome to relive it. The presentation is identical to the show. Plus, as with any rpg, the first fight is usually lame (pun intended). I cannot wait to see what happens as you hit level 20, 30 and up. Will we fight a Mr Slave who's power hit involves him doing that jump up and land on you by sliding you up his rectum thing like in that one episode? Jesus, the possibilities are endless.
And out of all the games releasing this year this is one I don't care about not being on ps4. What would improve? The graphics and framerate look great. I suppose if you wanted to stream it then maybe, but gameplay wise I can't see where it would make much of a difference.

OH GOD YES! Make him do that at the start of a fight and then you have to make your way out of his ass like Lemmiwinks, only having some small battles on your journey. Then when you're out you fight him for real.
I got up to the reveal of the Stick of Truth then killed the video. No more spoilers for me. This really looks fucking amazing.
Oh god this would work on so many levels. It would be a great lampoon of the video game trope of going inside creatures and walking around inside them that games like Gears of War and God of War popularized.

Pre ordered it for 39.99 at FS
you can explore the town apparently
People that played the full demo have mentioned there seems to be a ton of content to discover. The city is huge and you are free to roam the entire thing after the tutorial.
I can't provide a source, but I've seen multiple places where people have said they confirmed 50 hours worth of content.
One of the IGN guys said he played for several hours and didn't complete the first main quest after the tutorial because he was just walking around town and exploring all of the houses.
And since it's Obsidian, I expect plenty of branching-quest goodness.

That being the final boss theme would be amazing.
Being a South Park fan since the show started this game is looking like the holy grail of South Park media. Based on that video Jeff stopped watching South Park a long time ago or really doesn't dig the show that much.

Tried to hold off on watching the video, so I can go in to the experience cold, but caved. Game looks incredible. Watching the video you almost forget it's a game for a second, because it looks exactly like the cartoon. I can't wait for this game. Love Cartman fucking with you calling you douchebag too when you choose your character. The humor is great. I'm going to spend so much time on this game.
Ok, I need this game right now. Fuck waiting more than two weeks, I literally need it right this second.
If you want it on PC you can get it for around 25$ if you know where to look.
65$ at Furureshop and 60$ on Amazon on consoles.

This right here represents what's best about videogames. Just pure fun and entertainment without trying to take itself too seriously, and not being afraid to be silly. I know this is based on a very popular and quite loved TV show, which no doubt helps in those areas, but I would love to see the possible major success of this game inspire other developers to tackle more games outside of the always ultra serious.

This game looks all kinds of awesome. I love how it doesn't even look like a game, you could almost pass that as a section for a new episode.
The sound effects are cool too

This. Does anyone know?
Not to be that guy, but I have a 360, PS3, and a good PC (not that it'd needed) and am not sure which CE to buy. Eh, who am I kidding.
Probably PC
This game is like super cinematic. Its like playing a show. Everything that is wrong with modern games.

Only at the big retailers. The MSRP of games hasn't gone up, retailers are trying to gouge customers
Amazon still has it for $60

Far out, it is exactly like the show. What an achievement. The game deserves to sell gangbusters just for all the care that's been put into it + Jokes are ace ha!
The house opening was like the exact same layout as Ness' house in Earthbound too. +/- the whole South Park aesthetic.
