Yeah, must say that I have not come across any issues yet on the PC version.

Completed it twice on PS3 and had no issues either.

I had to restart once on the PS3 due to the view not being on center. Half the buildings were cut off at the top of the TV screen.

I don't know about bugs but the PS3 version has awful performance issues. Really ruins the illusion of being in the show.

I am very surprised to hear about the console versions having many issues. I played it on PC and I can honestly say the game was flawless. Being an Obsidian game I expected numerous problems, but I didn't have a single one. Hopefully, they will patch the consoles soon enough, the game seems to have done very well both critically and financially.

Couldn't agree more , I was so surprised at the quality of this game. I normally don't go for tv or film games as mor often than not they are crap money grabbing pos.

This on the other hand is brilliant and very immersive, played it for an 'hour' lastnight (3 hours).

Currently playing the game myself for the second day since I got it. I can't stop laughing. Best RPG I've played outside of Dragon Age in a long while. I've yet to get to the

abortion clinic quests

but I was watching the gameplay logs on PewDiePie's channel and I'm really looking forward to it as it looks positively demented!

irishmover

I must have got a lucky copy or something. No performance issues at all on the PS3.

Another thing I have been noticing on the PS3 is complete lack of sound sometimes when there is dialogue. The version I am playing is downloaded from the US PSN

Got this for about €18 on PC and played it for about 3 hours. It's very good so far. I'm not usually big on turn-based combat but I quite like it, reminds me of Paper Mario (visually quite similar too). I've laughed out loud plenty of times at it but I'm a fan of the show anyway. Not sure if this would go down as well with someone who wasn't as familiar with it or the growing crowd who don't like it in the last 5-10 years.

It's nice to know at least that it's clearly not just some cheap cash-in, I think it's at least partly down to the fact that the creators who wrote it and provided voices are actually into video games themselves. Looking forward to playing more anyway.

Al Gore is kicking my ass.

I'm super cereal.

FutureGuy

Finished last night. Superb. Thoroughly enjoyed it even though I haven't watched South park in an age.

A quick question to those of you that have beaten the game...

When you finish the game and you stat back in your bedroom, is there any reason to keep playing (like a new game+ feature)? I'm at lvl. 15 and it seems to be capped at that.

maximoose

Only reason I think is to finish side quests, collect chinpokemon etc

Grimebox

There is one chinpokemon in the school that you can't recollect unfortunately

FutureGuy

Yeah I have no interest in collecting Chinpokomon.

That's great lads, withh throw it on adverts.ie or pop into CeX with it. They are giving 29 euro cash.

Thargor

"You dont understand... Chloe Kardashian was in here this morning and she had the biggest abortion Ive ever seen!"

I dont know how anyone who doesnt have the Horn of Irritation maxed out is beating Al Gore and some of the other bosses without it, some of them are way too hard.

death1234567

I think if you stack bleeding on Gore you can beat him.

I spammed lullaby with Jimmy and focused on eradicating the secret service goons first.

Penn

I played as a Mage, which meant Dragon's Breath for burning damage, then a good weapon with bleeding damage usually inflicted enough damage that I mostly just had to survive until the end and most enemies would die from status effect alone after their turns. A bit of magic if they're still burning helped wonders too.

Started playing this over the weekend, and it has quite possibly taken the number one spot as my favourite game that I've played this year! I'm honestly surprised by just how solid the game actually is. I was really expecting just a few laughs and some silly quests but they've done so much more.

lertsnim

Yeah it's really good with many lol moments.

Thargor

Crazy good alright, the music and the way they didn't pander to anyone who doesnt watch South Park were high points for me, plus the thousands of references to past episodes. Pity there probably wont be a sequel, they poured everything into this.

Retr0gamer

I couldn't really get on with the game. Combat was quite slow paced and dragged and the humour just wasn't all that funny. There was no context to a lot of the gags which meant they were just puerile teenage humour like something out of Duke Nukem. South Park can be pretty puerile but there's also context there to make it truly funny or awkward. This on the other hand has you open a door to see a man screwing a horse for no reason. I'll probably go back to it but it didn't really hold my attention enough.

For it to be funny. Like the show.

Thargor

It was funny, especially any scene with Cartman in it. Probably the funniest game ever made tbh...

Up there with Battleblock Theater IMHO

Danger781

Just finished! I'm annoyed I can't collect all the Chinpokemon or make friends with everyone, as I missed them during the quests. Really annoying the thing inside me that wants to get 100%..

Thargor

Yeah I couldn't get all the Chinpokomon either because I missed the one in the school kitchen or something like that, never been so mad about missing a pointless collectible.
