Thanks to recent successes, we know exactly what a great South Park game looks like, and South Park: Snow Day! couldn't be farther from it. I'm a huge fan of throwing out the rulebook to try something completely fresh, especially in this age of samey sequels and forever live-service games that increasingly play it safe, but this bold attempt at a new direction misses the mark so drastically I'm aghast at just how sideways things went. Whether it's due to the thoroughly unenjoyable combat or the uncharacteristicly toothless and unfunny story, I can't recommend anyone waste their time on this cooperative lost cause – even my fellow die-hard South Park fans.
I thought IGN could only rate games 7/10 at the lowest

South Park is awesome bro, I love snarky reddit opinions beat over my head by a middle aged Jew and a guy who married a prostitute with a half black kid

But when they strike gold it's absolutely head and shoulders above anything else. 99% of it is wingcuck garbage but when they ditch the politics it's great. And it usually involves butters.
The ep where he finds out his dad's gay, the VR episode, the one where they go to casa bonita, the one where they go to somalia to be pirates

Him getting lost during their border patrol game was a pretty good one. Goofing on scientology with the “THIS IS WHAT THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE” was great too.
The show has some diamonds in the rough and is more fun when trolling than preaching. It is still mid though.

Yeah. Even when they have a really good idea the B and C plots are usually awful like they're struggling to fill the whole episode

They're at their best when it's kids being kids. LOTR episode is still the GOAT

All those good episodes are eons ago. Old south park was kino, they had the sort of casual improv vibe that modern family guy cutaways have. Family guy used to take itself more seriously but since Seth MacFarlane is an actual good writer it worked out. South Park takes itself serious now and it's just slop.

Honestly I was worried even back when the trailer came out. It didn't look like it'd be good

I don't trust their evaluation of the story/humor because lol games journo, but yeah I was nervous about the gameplay. I can very much believe that it's trash.

I know people are offering Matt and Trey enough money to make it hard to give up on South Park, but I kinda wish they would anyway. As much as I love South Park, I'd rather see them fully engaged on a different projects.

With a IGN's 3/10 this game may be a legitimate threat to the continued existance of any platform it is released on.

Or they stopped paying protection money and/or the game makes jokes that are on the wrong side if history (ala PC Principal in the trailer for Fractured But Whole where the face of most presented just immediately dropped and became sour. It could have been Polygon or Kotaku but the principle is the same).
Mind you, I'm not saying this means it's good. Online only co-op? Frick off.

Rougelikes are the lamest genre of games. I have yet to play a good one that wasn't from the 90s when game play was limited for a reason
Why would Trey gamble on it other than being lazy after two high effort games and folding to demand to pump out more
SP dudes are notorious for putting in last minute effort. So this is probably the game studios fault as much as them

I suppose Stick of Truth was accidentally good rather than the dawn of a new genre like people were thinking at the time.

I enjoyed Stick of Truth and thought Fractured But Whole was a good follow-up but the entire series was always Paper Mario: The Thousand Jew Joke Door (except with a grid for the second game).
How did people think it was going to be a new genre? Also frickers should have gone with the ninja play-believe game as a third entry or at least dropped the wizard cartmen shit for a derivative of Snowday of all things.

I should say new South Park development method then or something instead of genre, people were thinking after a bunch of crappy South Park games they'd finally figured out how to make it good.

Is the Lord of the Rings one or the Marvel one better?

The super hero one had better combat for sure. They're both fun though.

Lotr one had way more throwbacks to the old seasons. First ones way better if you enjoy nostalgia.

I own both but never actually bothered to play them for some reason. Probably crippling addiction to League of Legenditis and ricefoid e-girls.

South Park has sucked for like 20 years, I can't wait for the gaza episode where Stan murders half of the town in retaliation for Cartman pranking him with an upper decker at a sleepover, and we learn that both sides are really to blame and the world would be a better place if everyone could get along
