South Park Fractured But Whole

Whose jumping at shadows? Is that a euphemism for black people?

Spooking at shadows

So the preload of this included a free copy of The Stick of Truth so I downloaded it and figured I'd refresh my memory a bit... aaaannnnndddd I ended up playing the whole damn game again over the weekend. I hadn't tried the fighter class at all before and found it pretty fun to go at things a different way and using very different 'pals' for most of the content.

I can only hope that Fractured but Whole is even half as entertaining.

Jew was my favorite in Stick of Truth.

Fun so far (only around 2 hours in). Better combat system. Mr. Garrison wanted a chat about my "sex" and when I picked male he called my parents concerned that I identified as my natural born gender and my stat page now lists me as a "cis male". He did too he said though, so he was happy. Saw Cohh pick "other" and the dialogue was shorter and he called the parents immediately without the follow up questions he asked me.

Also, the option you pick early on by "difficulty" doesn't represent combat difficulty, just life difficulty as Cartman explains if you keep it on the page. Like the first one, there is a lot of dialogue if you stand still or keep talking to people. Will most certainly miss a lot of it if you only run between POIs and interact with items/people that are quest related.

This is getting trashed in the Steam reviews so far. To be fair it's more raging at SOP Ubisoft retardation than gameplay. Leave it to Ubi to take gold and find a way to turn it to shit.

Steam reviews are the worst place I could ever imagine getting fair insight from.

Exactly, I don't really pay attention to gameplay reviews but I do look at things like DLC, copy protection issues, etc. All of which they are complaining about.

It's a uPlay game. They're not exactly trying to hide it, but the first one was released right before they started using uPlay for all their games. So if you can't stand having a program open in the background, don't buy this, otherwise it shouldn't really have an impact, aside from needing updates every 2 minutes or so uPlay is pretty innocuous compared to most DRM.

The game itself looks like a lot more "game" than the first, I watched like 5 minutes on stream last night and almost went and bought it, but I have so much I'm playing already right now. Will probably end up getting it during the holiday or new year maybe but already looking forward to it.

Played a little over 8 hours so far and I'm loving it. Only 1 bug which I fixed in 5 minutes of googling. It definitely builds on Stick of Truth quite a bit. My favorite part is that the costumes are just cosmetic now and don't have any impact on your stats. It might hurt some SJW or anti-SJW (yes, we know who you are) feelings but hopefully you should be expecting the SP edgelords to go at anything sensitive... and they do. Its great.

Steam reviews or people in general bitching about DRM can fuck off. DRM is here to stay, unfortunately. Might as well put that energy into fighting P2W or P2opencratesandnotevenbeguaranteedtowin. Oh wait, everyone will still buy Battlefront 2. RIP.

And Denuvo stacked on top of the DRM already built into U-Play. Also day 1 DLC plus Microtransactions built into the game. It's a bit more than just U-Play that people seem to be unhappy about.

yeah. just checked steam to, add to wishlist, and keep an eye on sales.

"day one dlc, denuvo, uplay". right in the first, review I saw.
yeah, that'll do it.

Also, 59.99 price tag.

will definitely be waiting for under $30.

Game is already cracked and on IPT.

This game is really fun. If 60 bucks is a stretch to pay for a game, wait a few months for it to drop. But definitely worth it if you have the money to spend. That's my only real complaint. New combat system is pretty cool too.

The first game dropped in price pretty fast and pretty hard. It was available for sub $20 within a few months if I'm remembering right.

This one looks great but it has a bunch of things on my shitlist so will definitely wait, or even just go for the cracked. I haven't actually pirated a game in... like a decade. It's crazy that companies are being so dumb as to drive me to it again.
