South Park: Stick of Truth booth at Comic-Con! #2: http://insertcoinslv...ap#.T_7Nyqt1Dug South Park Is Hilariously Inappropriate South Park: The Stick of Truth has been on my radar since it was announced earlier this year. I mean, come on, Matt and Trey have teamed up with Obsidian Entertainment to create a turn-based RPG with the only focus being on the point of the game playing like an episode of the show. What 1
Labadal Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 I'll be happy if we get to see more gameplay at CC.
funcroc Posted July 13, 2012 Author Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) http://godhatesgeeks.com/?p=650 Right now, the only thing this priest wanted to do on Day 1 was make up for E3. The stuff we missed. And, the absolute worst moment of our wonderful Electronic Entertainment Expo experience was skipping on South Park: The Stick of Truth. This morning Edited July 13, 2012 by funcroc
WorstUsernameEver Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) The Joystiq preview is out. EDIT: No quote because copy-pasting doesn't seem to work well for me right now. Edited July 14, 2012 by WorstUsernameEver
Labadal Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 It combines Obsidian's talent for grindy fantasy RPGs... Lol.

Alvin Nelson Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I had no idea that we were known for grindy fantasy RPGs. Let me get back to sleeping. I'm tired... Avatar made by Jorian Drake
Labadal Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I had no idea that we were known for grindy fantasy RPGs. I was going to make a joke about how grindy your games are, but then I couldn't come up with anything. I have never felt that I have had to grind in any of Obsidian's games to be honest. You gain your levels as you progress, but I have never felt that I had to respawn enemies to gain more levels. I remember in AP, when I was at the end in Russia that I was stuck at the last boss fight. I just couldn't beat it on my first playthrough. So I decided to go to other areas and become stronger. But I wouldn't call it grindy, because at the same time as I gained exp, I still progressed the story. Grinding for me is when you just run around killing enemies over and over to become stronger.
WorstUsernameEver Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I don't think any Obsidian game had particularly brilliant encounter design (the later ones are better than, say, Neverwinter Nights 2 or Knights of the Old Republic II, but hardly great), so I guess you could call them "grindy" in that "you fight waves of mobs over and over", but uh, ultimately I'm not sure what the adjective was supposed to mean in context. I suspect the writer didn't reflect on what it would have meant to other people.
Pidesco Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I thought some of the encounter design in MotB, SoZ and DS3 was quite great. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
WorstUsernameEver Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I thought some of the encounter design in MotB, SoZ and DS3 was quite great. Storm of Zehir had some good encounter design, yeah. I don't remember anything particularly great about DS3 or MotB but that might be my memory's fault.
Flouride Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 When I think of the word "grindy" I see the endless tunnels/caverns in Dragon Age 1&2. 1 Hate the living, love the dead.
Oner Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 You all missed the important part. Fantasy RPGs. 2 out 5 games (not counting expansions), if I'm not misaken.

WorstUsernameEver Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Not enough SSAO, Bokeh DoF and soft shadowing. I'll pass.
Labadal Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Eh, no FMV movies, turn based fights and cartoony look. I'll pass
Sannom Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Well would you look at that, they put Nicole in the game! Must be nice to work with characters models so simple!
Starwars Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) New video up at gametrailers, can't get the link to work properly. Vide with some dude talking about it. It's basically the same thing as the written previews except with a boring guy talking instead (no new footage). He liked it a lot though.

funcroc Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 OT: https://twitter.com/...643474512871425 Had a little demo of South Park: The Stick of Truth in the office earlier. Lots of laughs, fans of SP definitely won't be disappointed!
IcyDeadPeople Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 OT: 4 new screenshots Wow, looks exactly like playing through the world of South Park.
funcroc Posted September 22, 2012 Author Posted September 22, 2012 https://twitter.com/VitoGesualdi/status/249266083838709760 Stick of Truth shows what the South Park creators are capable of when they actually take the time to write a script.
funcroc Posted September 29, 2012 Author Posted September 29, 2012 https://twitter.com/...465555888963584 What you'll see from THQ at this year's EB Expo In another Australian exclusive, we head to the perilous battlefields of the fourth-grade playground where a young hero will rise, destined to be South Park’s saviour. We take you on a side-splitting adventure with Cartman and his crew in never-before-seen gameplay showing of South Park: The Stick of Truth. It's a video walkthrough but believe us, it's incredible and does the game justice. Inside the theatrette it'll be phenom #EBExpo
Gorth Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 THQ seems to have a lot of faith in SP:TsoT “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Labadal Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 THQ seems to have a lot of faith in SP:TsoT They have to.
