This game is a better Paper Mario than Paper Mario.

CmdrKing posted:It should be noted the game has some odd mechanical quirks that mean the combat bogs down substantially in the last ~80% or so of the game (short version: you hit the level cap and certain enemies scale with you so every fight becomes needlessly long). Up until that point it's quite good however, and the endgame plot remains strong. I never had that become a problem. Once you figure out how the various status ailments work and how they stack with each other, it's pretty easy to break the game's combat system.

CmdrKing posted:Oh, you're not in much danger at all of losing. Just fights take too long; most of the statuses are poison-types that drain HP over time and all. Unless one of the ones I didn't get much access to (I ran a Warrior) had more direct damage. If you're thinking of the same fights I'm thinking off, you can shorten them with the right combination of buddy, armour, and weapon--as well as breaking the combat system over its head. I ran a Warrior and kept butting my head against the wall until I figured out how everything worked.

The combat system is at least pretty fun, so I don't mind that it can be broken once you learn it. The game is more about exploring South Park which it excels at. It has tonnes of detail, and it's great. I love that items are just burritos and bottles of water. Also, yeah, a bunch of sidequests and collectibles are skippable, so this game is especially great if you're not a completionist.

I feel we've been with Cartman long enough to recognize he's a huge tool. Plus, it'll be more hilarious betraying that arrogant butthole.

It's been established in the series that Cartman and Kyle are not so different most of the time, and Butters doesn't deserve this crap (then again, he never does). quick search on youtube found this

Kyle wear the Chewbacca mask in one of the Halloween episodes (as usual, the closest of each character contains a bunch of references to episodes). A bunch of people wear Chewbacca masks on South Park Halloween episodes. Wendy wears one, at one point.

Roro posted:God loving dammit. Another sidequest I missed? No wonder I didn't get the popular achievement. Heh, I've never seen the Nazi Zombie Ring sidequest. That's probably what stopped me from getting the popular achievement. Looks like it's a pretty standard "kill x" mission, so I'm not bummed I missed it.

Considering this is South Park, I have no idea what scene you're talking about. I feel like "that scene" could be almost any scene in the game. I also feel, who cares, it's a South Park thread, so do whatever and just post everything inline.

Kemix posted:Oh just wait till day 3 happens. Oh dear god Day 3 has a thing that puts BOTH of these night-time sequences to shame. People keep saying this, and maybe I've been watching South Park for too long, but nothing really phased me in this game. I usually just this feeling of joy at how accurately they nailed the feeling of the show. It's just so much fun to play through! I was literally laughing out loud at several parts, and it's not often that a game can elicit such a response from me.

Ehhhhh, if they've got the kind of experience to be the sort of person who would go to the Something Awful Let's Play subforum in the first place, I'm willing to bet they're savvy enough about pop culture to know about South Park's reputation, regardless of whether or not they watch it. To quote the OP:DoubleNegative posted:
EDIT: also, we're long past the anal-probing segment and parents loving segment. At this point,  warnings seem redundant. No one should be reading a South Park LP at work.

DoubleNegative posted:After beating the cyclops. Cyclopes? What's the plural of cyclops? Well, whatever. Cyclopes (and cyclops) is correct. Yeah, this dungeon is fun. The massive armour stacks at this point aren't a problem if you've figured out the combat system. If you haven't learned it yet, I could see how someone might struggle. But seriously, it's so easy to melt through armour at this point. EDIT: to be more correct Sally fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Nov 27, 2015 |

MartianAgitator posted:Dude, it's an English word. If you aren't pronouncing it "kik-lope" then there's no reason to pluralize it weirdly. lol, nice one. you are wrong on the internet in trying to call out someone for being wrong on the internet: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/cyclops http://etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=cyclopes&searchmode=none you're right. it's an english word. so "cyclopes" is correct. so is "cyclops". but to be honest, people would understand if you said "cyclopses" as well, so it doesn't really matter. english often breaks rules and many things get pluralized weirdly. octopuses and octopi, for example. it's a drat flexible language. EDIT: i realize, i should've probably said they were both correct in my previous post. i'm still not wrong though. Sally fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Nov 27, 2015 |

LifeofaGuardian posted:http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/octopus Actually, "octopi" is totally correct in English. Ignoring Latin/Greek rules of pluralization for a moment, because let's be frank here, grammar is ultimately just about how people speak, "octopi" is a widely used and accepted pluralization of "octopus" (it's been around for at least a couple of centuries). It's what we call an "accepted variant"  . To quote this article: http://grammarist.com/usage/octopi-octopuses/ posted:Still, while the use of octopi can’t be justified on an etymological basis, it is not wrong. It is old enough and common enough to be considered an accepted variant. In fact, "octopodes" is more liable to confuse an English speaker than "octopuses" or "octopi" are, but "octopodes" is still ALSO correct. Again, English is an incredibly flexible language.
