amazon South Park The Stick of Truth reviews
After THQ’s regrettable departure, its intellectual property is now turning in a different direction, looking for new “roofs”. There are series of games coming back quickly like: Metro, Saints Row, etc.
But some products do not know when people will be seen again: Darksiders or Warhammer 40,000, etc. Among them, there is only one brand that is less noticeable when it comes to Ubisoft with just 3.2 million USD – South Park.
Since its first release in 1998 up to now, the titles “labeled” South Park have never been noticed by fans because of their low quality. But now that has changed, Obsidian Entertainment’s South Park: The Stick of Truth has consistently topped the charts, as well as scored sky-high from most reputable game magazines.
South Park is a series of animated “sitcom” famous but also full of “notorious” of America. The film revolves around four main characters are children: Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick with stories of life “laughs”.
South Park: The Stick of Truth still brings players to meet these familiar characters; However, to make it easier for those who have never seen the South Park TV series to access, the studio has boldly brought to the game a new storyline, along with allowing you to create a character “unique” .
“Imitating” ideas from the famous work “The Lord of the Rings” by the late writer, professor J.R.R Tokien, the game brings players to the fierce battle between humans and elves. Of course, there is no ring here but instead is the stick of justice (The Stick of Truth), the most powerful and powerful staff created to acquire all things.
The powerful witch will have to find the “chosen child” to help humanity win the stick of justice … Not in time to become god because the war is too cruel, the player suddenly realizes that … there is really no war here also because it’s just a game of “fake fighting” of the mischievous kids and you – the kid just moved to South Park town will be the key factor in the game.
Moving into a new place, he said nothing but was just as silent as… Freeman, that’s why his parents urged him out to make friends and the journey officially began.
From the very first moments, the classic funny element of the South Park series officially conveyed to players through the action of “weird” to the utmost. Imagine when the game allows you to… get into the bathroom to “make the product” and keep it as… a weapon! Next, you quickly make friends with other kids and update status via Facebook “virtual” of the game but still retains the “idiot” face with no emotion, they praise them but they are immediately “up to class” when teaching you the necessary skills … like rapping! Even more funny when you choose a beautiful name for yourself, they still call you … Douchebag (roughly translated as “bastard”) . Many funny lines appear in South Park: The Stick of Truth makes players laugh, it can be said that their fun is not inferior to the movie, but also a bit more “slightly”.
For example, a situation where you greet the witch Cartman’s mother and are stopped by this character by saying: “Don’t talk to her, she doesn’t play this game”. It can be said that the details of South Park: The Stick of Truth have brought players from one surprise to another, because they are logically arranged to “match” with all the sarcastic and humorous lines.
However, due to the nature of the movie, if you are “sensitive” to vulgar words or swearing words, you should stop before attempting to approach this game because it is no coincidence. South Park: The Stick of Truth is rated M (for adults).
Obsidian, with experience in many famous role-playing games like Neverwinter Nights 2 or Fallout: New Vegas, so there is no reason that “quality” RPG is missing in South Park: The Stick of Truth.
You will be allowed to choose 1 of 4 character classes to start the game including Fighter, Mage, Thief, and Jew with equipment that looks funny enough like wearing gloves and a scarf to become … hoodlums and becomes king of thieves, etc.
No place allows you to become a hero as easily as South Park: The Stick of Truth and those heroes are surprisingly “simple”. If you have ever “experienced” through the famous role-playing game The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and impressed with the mighty “scream of the dragon” (Dragonshout), you will surely laugh when you see them being reappeared in South Park: The Stick of Truth in the form of … the “fart”.
Indeed, you will… “blow fire” in South Park: The Stick of Truth – a “unique way” that helps you pull the enemy’s blood very well. It can be seen that the more players play, the more players realize that South Park: The Stick of Truth is not from a “dirty” way to show blunt satire in other games.
On the way, if you accidentally meet enemies, you still can “kill” them first with bows or … “fart” to make them stunned before fighting. Battles in the game take place in the “slightly” Final Fantasy game with a pure turn-based mode, but are simplified to the maximum.
However, to avoid the player’s negligence, not paying attention to the game but just watching, the developer has introduced the QTE (quick time event – action context) so that the player must be highly focused on accurate timing and exemplary counter-attacks to deal with the most damage.
It can be said that the QTE element has created the attraction for South Park’s simple fighting mechanism: The Stick of Truth. During the game, you can spread everywhere in the town of South Park through the map is displayed quite intuitively. You can go anywhere and talk to any NPC, maybe they will “give” you side quests with very attractive rewards! (an indispensable part of the RPG series).
Besides, to avoid the player having to “walk” for a long time, South Park: The Stick of Truth gives the player a favored means of fast-moving (Fast Travel) when arriving at the location of the courier Timmy. South Park: The Stick of Truth also allows you to accompany any friend on all roads and in fights.
With a graphic background based on the movie, South Park: The Stick of Truth truly conveys the unmistakable “charisma” of South Park from the simple, humorous character of the characters to the background detailed and colorful.
Besides, the scene in the game is “still but not still” when there are many objects that are constantly moving and the player can easily interact with them in each scene. With beautiful 2D graphics without a “heavy” machine (just an “uncle” of GeForce 8800GT, you can easily “play” with the game), South Park: The Stick of Truth has taken the player’s love right away. At first glance – especially those who do not own a real “genuine” system.
The rhythmic “rhythm” with the graphics and sound is another plus point of South Park: The Stick of Truth when players will encounter the familiar humorous voice from the two “fathers” of the South series. Park: Matt Stone and Trey Parker. And according to the writer, the character with the most memorable voice is the witch Cartman (voiced by Trey Parker) with talking phases like rap-singing and cursing acts like … machine gun!
It can be said that South Park: The Stick of Truth is almost perfect without making unnecessary technical mistakes that make the writer unable to play the game smoothly. First to mention the problem when saving the game.
Right after watching the introductory video with humorous lines, the writer excitedly entered the first scene and quickly … lost interest when unable to save the game because the words “save game” were blurred?
Continue to go one more paragraph to the nearest checkpoint, try again, this time you can click but cannot save, whether you reload the game screen or exit the game again, the writer still … “give up”! Although it has been fixed in the latest patch (patch 02), this technical error has made many players “discouraged” when enjoying South Park: The Stick of Truth.
However, patch 02 has not stopped there yet again, with one more bug, this time even more serious when the player cannot enter the game! And after “researching” thoroughly for quite a long time, the solution from Ubisoft’s technical department is: players must fix the corrupted file while downloading patch 02 directly on Steam and download This patch again… again!
