This looked like a more typical bargain bin fodder licensed game where the other ones were legitimately amazing South Park video games.

It reminds me of that FPS South Park game on the PS1 where you throw snowballs at turkeys or something and honestly there were few games from my childhood I disliked more than that one.

They learned nothing from that PS1 travesty. Should have just stuck with the RPG model, or maybe even mobile.

Tbh not sure why anyone had any hopes for this one. It's made by a completely different studio than the RPGs and it looked exceptionally worse with each new trailer lol

I still haven't seen a trailer that actually showed what the game even is, so I'm not surprised it's terrible.

Is it a battle royale? A coop RPG? Open world? They've literally never explained anything.

While I respect Matt & Trey for trying something new its safe to say no one was asking for this, doesn't help that the devs are small names with titles that nobody has played

Guess the two fantastic RPGs were a fluke and now we're back to the PS1/N64 garbage South Park games era.

The amount of hyperbole in that video review is an affront to the profession of reviewing games. We get it. Dude doesn't like the game. But he speaks like this is the crescendo scene in a fantasy movie where he smites down his enemy, the game

In fairness, people generally like it when a good series keeps doing what it was doing that made it good, even if it puts new twists on things.

This is why people went holy war mode at Paper Mario Sticker Star, and to a lesser extent, Super Paper Mario. It went from a fun RPG to an action platformer with some RPG elements and some odd art direction (like making your partners literal squiggles). And then from there it went and made the RPG equivalent to if 4kids were to butcher Berserk to the point where it is kid-friendly. i.e. there is a hollow shell of an RPG-like system, but most of the mechanics are missing and there are only about 4 or 5 actual characters that are not either an enemy or a generic toad.

not reading that but ill just say, play the game if you like it and don't if you don't. trusting some random carousel of "Reviewers" just because they work for a recognisable brand is folly, and just a bad way to judge games

Yeah this, it seems all over the place when looking at metacritic with IGN being the most critical of it. With that said, the gameplay videos doesn't really seem that good or polished so I might have similar opinions with IGN's review.

It looks visually similar to the N64 South Park game but without the soul.

I went to check, and yea, that's really interesting.

the only game off the top of my mind that had a similar range was Deadly Premonition.

stick of truth was awesome, I'm pretty sure one or some of the ppl who created the original fallout worked on it.

fractured but whole was alright, the game itself was pretty good but I wasn't a fan of the battle system (I don't like any grid based or tactics style combat tho, so I knew that going in)

this? this looks awful. I'm still going to buy it cus I'm a sucker and like south park even tho it's been pretty shitty for the last 10ish years.
