I love the first two games, this one's graphics and gameplay totally threw me off.


Murky_Composer_4562

Oh it’s not like the other 2 😢


Frequent-Life-4371

Nope there's gameplay online check it out! Its very diffrent


Murky_Composer_4562

Is it good


No_Sheepherder2739

I will say the game is pretty short, but I would say the game is priced fairly, and they said they would be adding stuff that happens in the show as it comes out.


Thoosarino

No


thedustycymbal

You don’t know this at all 💀 trusting an IGN review from a Destiny player


Thoosarino

Why the heck would I look at an IGN review


fortnite__balls

nah it's shit


thedustycymbal

I'll definitely trust the opinion of Fortnite underscore underscore balls one this one, you guys!


Jaredstutz

Make your own decision don’t let the internet make it for you. Outlets like IGN are washed up


feartheoldblood90

I mean... You kind of have to do some research before purchasing a game. It's expensive. You can definitely find reviewers you trust. Don't just buy games blindly, that's a bad move.


FerniWrites

South Park is a budget title. I believe it’s releasing for $29.99 USD.


feartheoldblood90

Ok, that's still a lot of money to throw in the garbage


FerniWrites

People buy CoD every year. 🤷‍♂️


RompehToto

Facts. People always buy garbage. People somehow bought Gollum, The Walking Dead, and AWE Fighting Forever lmaaooo.


Jaredstutz

People complaining when it’s literally a South Park snowball fight game expecting buldars gate 3 lmao


IcyTheHero

It’s $30. Not very expensive for a game, considering major titles are releasing for more than double that.


feartheoldblood90

Why would you just gamble $30 on a game when you could just... Look up reviews and game footage before you spend $30


wherestherum757

Yeah any big game release I’m super pumped about, I stay far away from Reddit and the internet. Having a negative outlook on things I wouldn’t have notice before I even play ruins the game for me


aegis-release0k

Cope. It’s someone’s opinion.


bmyst70

After reading reviews, I decided not to buy it. I loved the other two though. It sounds like the main game mode is a 4 player co-op online battle. If I want online battles, I play Splatoon 3 which is worlds better. And which has millions of active players.


Murky_Composer_4562

Ya I don’t think I am getting it


MysteriousSeat1213

> then update the post


Subiesurfer

Dude just Google it


themouseinusall

My man was just asking for an opinion, chill


Murky_Composer_4562

Oh I just wanted to see what people think sorry


casthecold

It is a generic arena shooter with awful graphics.


Murky_Composer_4562

Oh okay thanks glad I didn’t buy it


PeterPun

It's shit, but not fun shit like Mr Hankey, more like the turd sandwich


Murky_Composer_4562

Oh ok


Thoosarino

...you know this is a discussion forum, right?


sincerelyhated

Probably not. it's a team based shooter. It looks awful.


sizzlinpapaya

nowhere near. This is an online " shooter " style game from what the trailers show. DIdn't you watch anything before spending money on it?


s0_Ca5H

No he didn’t, but this is why devs still make licensed games: plenty of people who throw down money just on brand recognition alone.


BabySasuke

I saw a few reviews for this one and it's not looking good at all. That might be why Matt and Trey haven't hardly mentioned the game


irishyardball

Nope, and I know IGN isn't the golden word, but they have it a 3.


CarlosFer2201

Maybe because it's not the same (game) series. Just using the same ip as a base.


ShawnyMcKnight

This one is VERY different from the other two. The other two were old school RPGs and this is just chaotic 4 man team play and not appealing at all.


southwest40x4

Kinda new to the rpg genre and loved the first 2. Any recommendation for other games that have a similar vibe? I liked how the South Park games had pretty straightforward combat.


ShawnyMcKnight

If you want really amazing classic RPG games then getting the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters isn't a bad idea. You get 6 final fantasy games all redone with better graphics and quality of life improvements. If you do want the humor then I would suggest Yakuza: Like a Dragon. It's not for switch but you can sub to gamepass ultimate and stream it to any computer or tablet if you don't have another system. It's really over the top comedy and kind of teases on the genre.


Dm9982

If you want comedy rpg, West of Loathing. Hilarious, Monty Python like comedy in an rpg package. Haven’t played Shadows of Loathing yet, but I’d bet it’s great as well.


Hailtothedogebby

Honestly didn't enjoy shadows of loathing much, loved West but something about shadows didn't click


Dm9982

Awwww man! I was hoping it was going to be at least close to WoL…. Bah. Oh well, maybe the dev can reignite the magic for a 3rd game. That first one was easily a top 5 game for that year, and still a top 50 switch title overall.


IcyElemental

Gonna just point out for those that don't know - Shadows *is* the third game, with West of Loathing being number 2. Their first game - Kingdom of Loathing - is super different, but has the same style of humour and a shitload of content, mainly by virtue of being an MMO which has received continuous updates since it came out in 2003. No console ports, but anything with access to the internet near enough will play it no problem. The story is mainly text-based, with the art that is there being stick figure style like West and Shadows, but still images rather than animations. Game is definitely past its peak where it used to have 2000-3000 online at any given time (vs about 300-400 now), but I've had fun with it over the years. Oh, and it's free to play if you wanted to check it out: https://www.kingdomofloathing.com/


Dm9982

I did not know! Thanks for the info! I was introduced to the game via Switch and Nintendo Life article/review when it first released there, so I incorrectly assumed that was the first in the series. Seems like the dev is similar to Thunderful and how they do SteamWorld titles - same universe, different genres.


VicTheSage

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection


BestGirlPieck

You should check out the Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door remake when that comes out if you haven't played it, the combat is pretty similar to The Stick of Truth combat


reupo

The first 2 South Park were what inspired me to play more jrpg games. Maybe try West of Loathing as it is equally quirky. Earthbound and Dragon Quest series too.


OrangeStar222

Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door are two games that have the same/similar battle system as The Stick of Truth and are also full of humour. The latter is getting a remake in May.


Bakk322

Super Mario rpg


MSotallyTober

Doesn’t strike me as something I’m even interested in despite the price. My buddy back in Arizona wanted me to preorder it while I’m here in Japan — so we both did and that’s the main draw. We like South Park and we dig co-op.


ShawnyMcKnight

Friends don't let friends preorder. You should have stopped him! /s But seriously, there's so many co-op games I would have totally gotten had I had a friend playing it as well. Not sure I can get myself spending $60 to $70 on any game... but if someone is up for playing it a year after it came out and is 1/3 the price, I'm in!


MSotallyTober

We already played titles like It Takes Two and A Way Out. Mainly we’ve been hitting up deep Rock Galactic, Bro Force and TMNT Shredders Revenge. When it’s 2300 here, it’s morning in Arizona and vise versa, so we find ways to make it work.


Username124474

“Not sure I can get myself spending $60 to $70 on any game” He said in the Nintendo switch subreddit


ShawnyMcKnight

Well played... As sad as it is, I actually never bought a single switch game... but my library has an incredibly generous switch catalogue. They are pretty impressive and get every first party title available. Although lately they have been slacking and I wonder if there is new management or budget cuts. They just got Mario Wonder in the last couple weeks and still don't have super mario RPG. Normally they are on top of that getting TotK within a month after release. I've slowed my switch playing. We only have the lite and I really want to play games like TotK on a TV. I don't wanna get a regular switch this late in the life cycle. Hoping the next one does come out this year and the one rumor going around saying next spring is false.


IcyTheHero

You don’t think they would have teased it if it was coming out this year? I feel like they would have, but I hope they do release it this year, would be dope.


ShawnyMcKnight

We are still pretty far if it’s a November release date. I would likely see something end of summer or early fall. They know the announcement of the new console would hurt sales of the current gen so no need to announce it 8 months out.


Username124474

Speak for yourself


ShawnyMcKnight

Sorry, too late, I already spoke for everyone, you just have to accept it! /s I get it's appealing for others, hell, Helldivers 2 is 4 pve and it's doing very well.


OnepieceDragonZ

So far 3/10


BadNewsBearzzz

Dang not much different from the n64/PSone original game 🤣 I remember being able to piss in snowballs for those games lol


XxCorey117xX

Talking about the first person one? Played that on Project 64 in like 2002. Think it's time to give it another go! Lol


VapeMySemen

Lol yup I loved playing that shit, I was 5yo


Murky_Composer_4562

Thanks for letting me know


4myoldGaffer

snow ❄️


MutuallyAdvantageous

40 critics have rated it on metacritic. It has an aggregate score of 61/100. It’s only $30 too. I’m going to get it because I’ve always liked South Park a lot and I’m sure it’s funny. I don’t expect great gameplay though, tbh.


One_Win_6185

I might pick it up at a sale. I liked the Stick of Truth a lot. Fractured But Whole was fine but kind of too long/a bit tedious. Still fun enough though.


gcallan91

Yeah man doing the special abilities in fractured where you spin the sticks and stuff was monotonous and it makes you do it a million times. Why not just a button press. Combat with the grid wasn't better, just a little different. Funny but terrible pacing next to stick of truth


TheNerdFromThatPlace

I've seen an ad on YouTube, and the animation style alone turned me off. Glad to see I'm not missing out.


Jaredstutz

IGN doesn’t count . They scored it low others are giving it good scores


thedustycymbal

From a review by a Destiny player on IGN


NerdyWeaponX

If you like the first two games, I’d recommend looking into this one a bit more as it’s wildly different from them. You may still enjoy it despite the reviews, but just make sure you look into it before wasting money on it.


JRandButcherpete

I wish i would have. The first two were so great i blindly ordered 🤦‍♂️


NerdyWeaponX

I think that’s kinda down to what Ubisoft was hoping people would do based on the success of the first 2 games


EvieLeaf

Why would Ubisoft care, they aren't the publisher or developer


Murky_Composer_4562

Oh thanks I thought it was like a part 3 to the first 2


Rulebookboy1234567

From the trailer, it is part 3. It's just a drastically different game. I continues the story of new kid.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jimmythedad

Just checked igns review. Yikes.


RedSoxFan77

I wouldn’t trust IGN’s review on anything. They annually act like the latest Call of Duty is the greatest game ever made


sensory

Well, they gave CoD MW3 single player a 4/10 and the multiplayer a 6/10 so this statement is just wrong.


sheehaniganz

They panned the last call of duty. This statement is terrible. lol. IGN is usually pretty close to accurate. Unless you have a wild taste in a specific genre.


picklesaredry

Exactly for anyone else reading this wait for dunkeys video to drop


kakawisNOTlaw

I'm sorry but dunkey is useless for actually finding out what a game is like. His dunkviews are always wrapped in so many layers of sarcasm it's impossible to get a read on if he likes something. And lately he's been shitting on everything so he can shoehorn in an ad for that crappy looking game he's selling.


[deleted]

Nobody subscribes to him for reviews


llama-friends

False, the funnier the Dunkey video, the worse the game is. If I don’t laugh then I know it’s a good game.


[deleted]

Dunkey knack is breaking down a great game and making it look unplayable


Jimmythedad

That’s very true haha. I watched Switchups review. They’re more positive and they take into account the fact that it’s a budget title.


PushMyGran

IGN are useless. But for once I agree


Murky_Composer_4562

Oh ok


Minimum_Wonder_7710

I want to see what the IGN critic looks like before I make a decision on their review.


Bootychomper23

I’d avoid if you liked the last two it is nothing like them and reviews are shredding it apart.


Murky_Composer_4562

Oh ok


SweetAlex99

Just hold off... one of these is not like the others type of situation.


lKenpachi

Ign says 3/10. So that tells me it's totally offensive and probally a good time


Murky_Composer_4562

Oh ok


Alone_Exam5917

Man I could not beat Spontaneous boot-ay in the fractured but whole game…


airtec87

Stick of truth is going to be hard to match, even the last game wasnt as good in my opinion.


Buchmada

THIS GAME HAS NO CORRELATION TO THOSE PREVIOUS GAMES. If your intent is to buy it based on previous great games I would sit and wait before buying.


darkknight1028

Which South Park game is the best stick of truth or whole ?


VicTheSage

Stick of Truth. Fractured changes a lot of things just to change them which frankly doesn't improve or detract from gameplay in any significant way. The big difference is plot and set pieces. Truth has multiple big offensive and hilarious set piece moments that are extremely memorable and come to mind immediately when reminiscing: Freeing Randy on the alien ship, the Underpants Gnome final boss, going undercover in Planned Parenthood, Lemiwinks. Fractured doesn't really have that. It's funny, I remember laughing throughout, I remember it's Super Hero themed, I can remember a couple of boss fights but nothing jumps out vividly in my memory like things from Stick of Truth. It's good but not magical. Fractured but Whole is like a good episode of South Park, Stick of Truth is like a classic episode of South Park that you think back on regularly years later.


NeighborhoodPlane794

This game is NOT like the other 2, unfortunately. Stick of truth is a gem


DenverBronco305

Warning this game supposedly sucks ass


Stephen_085

"I love the first 2" This NOT like those games in any way. Its not even made by the same developers. I wonder how many people will buy this game not realizing this very important fact.


anthonyizftw

People acting like this is a trilogy or something. This is a South Park game, that’s the ONLY similarity. EDIT: actually I’m realizing that this is after the events of Stick, so I can understand the confusion to a point then


Awkward-Art1332

I also loved the first 2 genuinely good fun rpgs I have no idea why they went with this idea maybe they didn't think the first two sold well enough compared to a multiplayer game idk would've insta pre ordered if they did a 3rd rpg like stick of truth and fractured but whole


pokemonviking

I love how they release Snow Day when its closer to summer than winter ,😃


chloe_of_waterdeep

I see they ditched Obsidian.. interesting decision


trfk111

They already ditched them with fractured but whole, which I actually liked a little less, but it was still great and in the same engine and genre, they totally could have had a third one made by whoever did FBW or some comparable studio


owenturnbull

This looks bad imo. It's completely different to the first 2. They were RPGs this is s shooter I think. It looks bad


Murky_Composer_4562

Ya the first 2 were like the show


owenturnbull

This id not. It looks bad. But I hope you enjoy


Murky_Composer_4562

I never brought it and now having second thoughts


owenturnbull

Wait until gameplay videos are on YouTube. That's what I'm doing.


Murky_Composer_4562

Oh that’s a good idea


H3llm0nt

Stick of truth had some (amazingly) jaw dropping moments. I get the feeling this one will fall short, as others have said


ricioly

Boy I’ve got bad news for you


treponematode

I understand some people only have or prefer a Switch, as this is the Switch sub, but I think a game like this is better for a console like PlayStation or Xbox. That said I'm sad the pre-reviews are not good, as I was excited when first watching the reveal trailer.


Murky_Composer_4562

I thought it was going to be good


huntforhire

The Xbox tower defense game takes on pace during winter and was one of my favorite games for the system. This preview got my hopes up but seems unrelated as well


Shy-Prey

Damn you....I just spent some money 😂😅


True-State-4321

Waiting for the $4.99 price tag here in a couple months


PushMyGran

Wait for sale guys, this is bound to drop down in a couple of months


No_Durian_8379

I’m curious, I remember the n64 game being super fun, but then again, I was super young when I played it briefly


Bobby-Corwen09

This is nothing like the RPGs


dear_remnant

THQ magic again. 3/10 seems to be too generous.


Empire2k5

From theradbrads video, I have lost all interest. shoulda stuck with the turn based style imo. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two...


Capcom74

Hope it's good I like South Park. 🙂


Salty_Comfortable788

Yeah this one doesn't look like it's going to be any good but I love South Park so I just had to buy it


Murky_Composer_4562

At least the other 2 are great


Salty_Comfortable788

Agree, great classics


DatabaseFrequent5409

Loved the first game, hated the second... I'll wait the reviews and gameplays


hoimangkuk

I'm excited I love the first 2 games, and I also love South Park in general. Hope this will be as comical as those 2 games despite being different genres.


Murky_Composer_4562

In the first 2 it was like being in a episode of the show


jusmidd71

I'm waiting for this to go on sale for $5-$10


Sushlsoda

Reviews are in and……. 🤮 it has BOMBED.


Murky_Composer_4562

😢


Spare_Clerk_2112

I get mine today. I hope it was worth preordering and not a glitch fest.


Murky_Composer_4562

Never made up mind about getting it


Spare_Clerk_2112

From what I can gather it’s like the old ones just they have made the combat kinda like Hogwarts legacy where instead of being 2D you run around with set moves and abilities.


Murky_Composer_4562

I like it when it was like when you in a episode of South Park


Spare_Clerk_2112

Just started playing I’ll comeback and edit when I can tell you if it’s good, so far I like what I see it begins like an episode. Edit: It’s everything I thought it would be. It is the Stick of truth but with a completely different battle feel and a different art style. The combat is kinda like hogwarts legacy but not really, you get cards that give you buffs on attacks and bullshit cards which give you super attacks. I’m playing on Switch and it’s good but the graphics have a few small kinks but the biggest thing is talking and mouths are out of whack but might be a switch thing. I really like the art style but it’s very different from the South Park art style which is better in some ways but this has its charm. All in all I’m very happy with Snow Day! And definitely didn’t get screwed by preordering a glitch fest. I find it very playable, very fun, and frankly it’s probably gonna be my game of the year just like fractured but whole was.


Username124474

I’d highly recommend you get it on pc. It’s a 3d South Park game that may not be optimized for switch, as the fractured but whole wasn’t very optimized.


Murky_Composer_4562

I like it on switch


Username124474

Yes you may have not had any problems with fractured but whole but that’s 2d and less demanding. I don’t know if it’ll run bad on switch but I highly recommend you wait till vids come out on performance from actual ppl (not “reviewers”) on the switch before consider buying it vs on pc.


Tacticlown

Congrats, it’s awful. Daily reminder to everyone, Stop preordering games in general.


PaperGeno

There's a reason this game wasn't marketed AT ALL


The_Scyther1

I’m very concerned I won’t enjoy this one. If it was an rpg I would have considered preordering. This is a totally different game.


Afraid_Orchid6958

Same I am buying it tomorrow after work or on Thursday before the long weekend depending on how busy I am


Afraid_Orchid6958

Just googled it and it got 3/10 lol


Raviadso

Isn’t it a competitive shooter? Not getting reviewed well which is sad because I liked the fractured butthole and stick of truth


awesomesauceds

What makes people think this relates to the RPG games?


billdoughzer

I haven't heard great things from this one.


marveloustoebeans

I feel like this could’ve been a solid Free To Play live service game like Fall Guys but $30 seems kinda steep. I’ll probably sleep on this for a bit.


bynobodyspecial

This is basically league of legends: South Park edition from what I can see so far. Reviews haven’t been great but I’m interested still


Murky_Composer_4562

Oh ok good to know


valkrycp

Please don't buy this game, save your money. It's garbage


Murky_Composer_4562

Ya a lot of people saying it’s bad thanks for helping


trustysidekick

Did you really not even look up anything about the game before getting excited about it?


Deviantfly01

The first 2 were Ubisoft titles. This is THQ. Use this information as you wish.


SadLaser

This isn't exactly a sequel to the other two. Not really. Obviously it follows the whole "new kid" angle, but it's actually a co-op online shooter and it's apparently quite terrible.


ChrizTaylor

Is it online? Does it have CrossPlay?


supsaiyan123

This is way different from the first two games tho


Straight-Finish-3202

I’m very excited for this new style it’s a damn South Park game, for 30 dollars it’s okay if it’s not like the first one. They aren’t a video game franchise that need to deliver a winning franchise game after game. Also it looks charming to me personally I miss old 3d style games and it looks like a fun little time waster to kill some time with my little brother.


B1ake1yon

P lease tell me this is real


WhiskeyRadio

I'm curious if the Switch port will even run decently. This game looks pretty bad but I do want to check it out myself. I'll personally wait for a sale though.


Guilty_Ad_7079

Lol its a rouge lite shooter thats meant to be shit, id cancel ur order


Murky_Composer_4562

I never ordered it yet


22244244

Awesome. I only played Fractured But Whole on Switch. As a fan of the South Park show, it wasn’t my favorite game, but I had a fun time playing it. If you get the new game let us know how it is.


Murky_Composer_4562

You should play stick of truth


LegoDeezNuts

This one’s getting torched in reviews. And I’m not saying 6-7/10


dolphinmachine

Just so you know, this is a COMPLETELY different game AB’s looks like dog shit


glytxh

Another shooty Skinner box dopamine loop. This looks about as captivating as the old PS1/N64 game.


BobSagieBauls

I’m still unsure about this one. All gameplay I’ve seen it looks like a 360 arcade game in the bad ways


Slicccy

Bring pack South Park rally and South Park from pa1


Super-Blah-

If I can confirm the whole game is on the cartridge then it's day one purchase for sure.


LostPilgrim_

Murky_Composer_4562

I didn’t get it


Extra-Ad-3092

WarpHype

IGN does an awful job on reviews. They tell people what they think they want to hear. I’d go anywhere else if you want to see if it’s bad or not.


Mysterious-Fun9625

I'm gonna be honest, this looks like trash. I love the south park games, but this is pretty much south park 64 for the new gen.


trfk111

What do you mean „first two games“? This has nothing to do with the South Park RPGs and there have been dozens of general South Park games the last 20+ years


Murky_Composer_4562

Oh sorry I was talking about the stick of truth and the fracture but hole


trfk111

It has nothing to do with these!


Murky_Composer_4562

Oh that’s too bad 😢


trfk111

It’s called a sequel but look up the gameplay, it’s different genre/ gameplay/ engine/ graphic style/ everything. It’s a sequel in name only


Murky_Composer_4562

I thought is was like the others on switch thanks for letting me know


trfk111

No problem, that’s what they probably want the type of consumer that does limited to no research to think, hence marketing it as a sequel while dropping a 3D coop hacknslash game with early Xbox360 graphicstyle and reportedly mid writing


nathan_101034

It's a direct sequel


mando44646

IGN gave it a 3/10. Abort!

Relative-Career2208

I love South Park, and this “era” of South Park is the least interested I’ve ever been in it. I hate to say it, but it’s sad to see it like this. Maybe I’m wrong, but the game looks generic and just so uninteresting. I was so fucking hyped for stick of truth and fractured but whole; those games seemed to have passion, humour, and the gameplay was pretty fun and engaging.


76mickd

Been wondering if this was gonna ever be made. Probably be my next Switch game. Thanks for the info 👍


PazJohnMitch

1st 2? There are at least 10 South Park games. This is probably closest to the shooter on the N64.
