    Allegedly "after beating the abortion clinic level you can get the girl skin". I'm not sure if that was a joke, but since he said it more than once I'm guessing he was serious, haha.

    This comes out today. Getting some excellent reviews

    http://www.vg247.com/2014/03/04/south-park-the-stick-of-truth-review-round-up/

    I watched a stream for a few hours earlier and you're pretty much playing in a very long epic South Park episode. Their were just hilarious references galore everywhere. You tell Trey and Matt had a huge hand in this. They really pushed the boundaries on some of the explicit stuff too that you wouldn't even see on the show.

    Watching some streams, it's reminding me of Mario RPG from snes days. Now I just have to decide if I can wait for a price drop.

    This does look really cool, I went ahead and pre-ordered it a few days ago. Excited to hear all the positive things about it, though over at Kotaku they were saying something about a screen "stuttering" problem. Anyone experience that issue?

    What system did you guys get it on? I was thinking about picking it up on PC, but teh review above said the controls were a little off.

    Reviewers have compared it to that. I picked up a copy for PC, going to see how it responds to a PS4 controller. If not I'll just use the regular controls.

    I LOVE that game. Top 5 all time for me. I've been hard-pressed to find an RPG game that I like as much as Legend of the Seven Stars so I'm hoping that this will be able to come close.

    One of the few games I've played through multiple times, I might have to agree on the top 5 all time. My favorite item is still the Jinx belt, don't ask me why...just feels uber to me. I'll buy that game for any system Nintendo releases (I have it for the virtual console on Wii U). The comparisons are really the big reason I bought this game. Looking forward to playing it soon.

    It was a little OP, but I always put the Safety Ring on Geno. Unstoppable. I, too, have bought it for Super Nintendo, Wii, and emulator (obviously not bought). I honestly have had to temper my expectations for Stick of Truth, but I'm still excited.

    Playing it now, so far so good and haven't had any issues with controls but I literally just started. It's at 85 on metacritic, I don't think you need to temper them anymore at this point it's proven to be very good if not great.

    Yeah the gameplay is holding up, just passed the abduction. Even without the South Park factor I could dig this.

    Game isn't easy, it isn't really too hard, but you can't just moonwalk, you're gonna get beat.

    59.99? These fools must be out of their mind.

    I need to play season 2 of the walking dead anyway...

    Just played it for 3 hours straight. I honestly didn't know what type of game this was at all. I bought it based on all the reviews and the fact that Matt Stone and Trey Parker developed it.

    I was pleasantly surprised that it looks just like the cartoon. I'm not a fan of RPGs but this game has me hooked. I like that certain attacks depend on you pressing a button at just the right time. And I love the humor in this game. I was laughing quiet a bit :)
