Beat this today and egads, that was just enjoyable every step of the way.
The game was fairly easy for the most part but that really doesn't matter when the point of the game is to just hangout with everyone on the show and get into really fucked up situations. Probably the only 'hard' part is the Sparrow fight since he can easily sucker punch you but once you're aware of those god damn eye lasers it isn't bad. I do think the fight against Chef was a bit crappy but not in game play terms. It mostly just felt like a big "Fuck you Isaac Hayes" that I thought they had gotten out of their system when they killed the character off in the show. But really, that's the worst thing I have to say about this game. Overall it's really god damned fun from start to finish and doesn't pull any punches whatsoever. It's the second South Park movie we never got and basically anyone who even remotely likes the show should play this, especially since it's a pretty accessible game.

So I just finished this. This game was excellent on so many levels, I was laughing the whole way through.
My two iconic moments (only read if you've completed the game):
Saying 'Nope' when presented with the situation of having to go up Mr Slaves' ass to disarm the Snuke. As the others are doing the whole 'hmmm, who do we know who can turn really small AND perform abortions? Hmmm' routine, I decided to just walk out the door. I then laughed as I was presented with a nuclear explosion and the credits. I laughed pretty hard.
and
I had to appreciate that, when performing an 'abortion', the player is greeted with 'Christmas Time Comes Once a Year'. Man, I loved that episode

Well, the game made it to number three in March's NPDs.
Granted we don't have the actual number, and most of the oxygen in the room was taken up by Titanfall and Infamous. Still, it looks like it did better than I was predicting.
Okay, after killing many brain cells digging through GAF, the word is that South Park sold a little less than 440,000.
So, it wasn't a blockbuster, but that's pretty solid.
Unfortunately for the producers, the price point simply isn't right for most people. $29.99 would have hit my "Immediate buy" range. I really want to buy it but I'm not willing to fork out $59.99. (I missed a $15-off sale because I noticed it on the last day and it was expired by the time I got home from work)
As soon as it gets another decent sale, I'm scooping it up.
Might be dramatically higher. Somebody was claiming that 6% of UK sales were for Windows, and I can't imagine that ~30,000 units sold on Steam would keep it in the #1 Top Seller slot for two weeks.
Remember NPD is physical only. So probably a bit more.
No, they include digital now. Or at least that was the announced plan as of last July.
I don't think they include Steam sales yet, though.
We don't know for sure. Damn, what I wouldn't give for access to an NPD subscriber.
At any rate, I remember hearing some chatter that PC sales only accounted for eight percent of all Stick of Truth sales, but of course I can't find the source of that at the moment.

It's a weird thing, because I do believe their reasoning that the story makes more thematic sense with a boy (the group has never been that accepting of girls, the whole "recruit the girls" sidequest, ect.). And yet the way the game is presented, it honestly wouldn't have made a damn difference if you were a girl.
"The sausage of Green Earth explodes with flavor like the cannon of culinary delight."
I wonder if MCA leaving was because he was finally fed up with AAA business. Would fit his tweet shortly before (though that was obviously because of a different project)
I'm not holding out hope for New Vegas 2.

I'm none too worried about the lack of Obsidian. They're only really good at writing and they didn't write the South Park game, so whatevs.

Thanks, I was able to restrain myself. Hopefully there will be a couple patches out before I purchase...

Ha, that was the worst. I actually setup a keyboard macro to do it. My fingers cannot press that fast :P

Also modder confirms female charachters were a thing before it got cut.
I thought we already knew that though... they got cut for thematic reasons.

No, we don't know the reason.
The whole abortion arc just wouldn't have been as funny with a girl.
Well, odder.
This could have been adressed in the original design. In retrospect A LOT of the game was seemingly cut, both under THQ and Ubisoft.
Biggest laugh so far 'mongolian beef smells like lionel richies balls'
Some mild hope for actual DLC. Interesting read either way though.

Not exactly my point.
