So far, my take on the South Park video game is this: they’ve captured, perfectly, the South Park Experience. So if you love South Park and love South Parkian humor, you’ll find yourself laughing out loud on a regular basis. If you are intrigued by the fact that Obsidian made an RPG? Well, you’ll find that the RPG is competent but nothing really spectacular… so the question you need to ask yourself is not about how much you like RPGs but how much you like South Park.
If you find yourself saying stuff like “well, South Park *DOES* wear a little thin…”, you *MIGHT* make it to day 2.
If you find yourself saying stuff like “Mister Hanky! Underwear Gnomes! Oh My God! They Killed Kenny! You Bastards!”, well, strap yourself the heck in.
Oooh! And they announced the next Batman Game! Woo hoo!!!
So… what are you playing?
A few weeks ago I was playing Phantasy Star IV but stopped. I seem to prefer old school RPGs to any new game for some reason. I stop around Final Fantasy XII. New games take up way too much time. I stopped PSIV because I tend to be interested and then lose it. Maybe I will start again.Report
Wasteland 2 is coming out soonish. I think. It’s in Alpha, anyway. When *THAT* comes out, it will truly be awesome.
I hope.Report
“Alpha” means the code is still immature. By Beta, it’ll be a teenaged wasteland.Report
I have been playing Phantasy Star IV as well. However, over the last week, most of my gaming has been Guild Wars 2. I plan to get back to Phantasy Star soon, and I want to finish it before I start the new Shadowrun Returns campaign.Report
South Park was one of my favorite games on the old Nintendo 64. It was delightfully cheesy in all the right ways.Report
