South Park: The Stick of Truth

[Sarmatian]

Can believe no one is talking about this game. It'a an RPG from Obsidian, made in the true South Park style. Parker and Stone were involved with the story from day 1.

You are aware it's 60 bucks, right?

60 dollars for a South Park version of AdventureQuest. Eh... no thanks.

It looks like a riot
At $60 it can go in line behind civ5 BNW which I'm waiting for to go on sale

It reminds me a lot of this:

You're aware you can get it cheaper after a short time, right?

Football Manager 2013 was 50-60 euros when it came out, beginning of October. In second half of December, I got it for 14 euros.

In general, I rarely buy games immediately when they come out. Wait a few months, you get to see the quality of the game better, it get's patched and you get it for 25-75% of the original price. It's a win-win-win-win situation for me.

Yeah, I am, and the point still remains because it was a comment about the value of this game.

And frankly I wouldn't pick it up if it was free because time is what I'm short on, not money.

To each his own, of course.

I like the game play because it really feels (at least from watching) that you're in an episode of South Park. That was their goal from the start. Even though it might look simple, I think that's just because of the style of animation. There's a huge RPG underneath that.

I might buy this on the cheap. That it's Southpark brings me to the table. But the type of RPG they made (which I hate) prevent me from paying full price for it.
