I lol'ed at this.
You can't really fault Obsidian too much for that. The Gamebryo engine barely works at all with the PS3

I don't watch the show so I felt like...
having read the other thread, it seems people wanted a magic unicorn kind of game that's also exclusive to the PS3

The only bad factor in this is Obsidian's QA. Everything else? Super exciting.
All we got was unicorn shit
I for one am very excited. South Park has so many great characters and that's alot of what makes a good RPG anyway. If Obsidian is given time to iron out the tons of bugs I'm sure the game will have (they won't), then this should be quite a treat.
Aren't people always clamoring for some sort of different setting other than the old tried and true fantasy/sci fi settings we've seen in the past? Now, we're getting one and people are bitching.

I've played KOTOR 2, Mask of the Betrayer, and New Vegas (on two different platforms) and not once have I encountered any serious or gamebreaking bugs.

South Park RPG by Obsidian sounds like an excellent proposition to me, I don't get all the hate.

In all seriousness, I'm actually really excited. What do you think the antagonist is though?

In your opinion. I think this could be very cool.
So let me get this straight.
They are using Obsidian's weakest aspect and not their ability to tell a story?
Great.
So because you didn't encounter bugs, they don't exist? Try telling that to the people who played KOTOR 2 and New Vegas who actually DID encounter some serious bugs.

This has potential. I hope they stick with the classic art style.
I... don't see what's so funny about this apart of GAF overhyping something completely yet again?
Sounds like a cool announcement, and Obsidian developing it should make sure that it's not just some license crap. Could be really interesting. Definitely better than generic shooter sequel 265 oder generic action sequel 632.

Well, they're right about it being something I wouldn't believe.

Why is there no "SHOCKING NEWS"?
I think part of it is because all previous south park games have been shovelware pretty much, and all licensed stuff ends up like that too other than the recent Batman games.
But this is motherfucking Obsidian, the best RPG dev in the business. Respect the legends and let's see what they can do. I hope Matt and Trey are working really close with Obsidian and at least end up sharing writing ideas.

People don't like this? It could be great.
Didn't anyone play the South Park Tower Defence game? It was a lot of fun. I look forward to what they can do with the IP in an RPG environment, there's a lot of room for imagination and parody.
Also the Simpsons game was a lot better than it gets credit for, and that's coming from someone who despises modern Simpsons.
Obsidian are my only concern, they have a history of putting out buggy but great RPG's.
Oh wait, was there a hype train, because I missed that. Well if you got your hopes up and were disappointed maybe you'll know better next time. (Says the guy with the Headhunter/Shenmue avatar)
