So I finally got around to playing this…

>fun combat that on harder difficulties feels more like a puzzle game

>does a really good job emulating the shows style (just like Stick of Truth)

>pretty much everyone you’d be a fan of is in it

>plays out like one of the mid series South Park episodes before things went completely to shit

And here’s where things go to shit

<the San Francisco developers must have had a heavy fucking hand in some of the writing

<an unironic speech about gender identity right at the beginning of the game without a single joke slipped in

<almost every female npc you come across has something to say about empowerment or being marginalized

<unplanned parenthood is played almost completely straight faced as well

I haven’t beaten it yet, but damn is it depressing to see all this social justice shit in there without even being presented with a joke. You guys really weren’t kidding when you said the writing was bad.. does it at least get better later?

it would have done a better job if it still ran on Maya Game Engine like Stick of Truth did. There's no visual effects that would require anything newer, yet they insisted on putting it on something that runs like a sloth

<an unironic speech about gender identity right at the beginning of the game without a single joke slipped in

listen carefully to the music that plays in the background

<the San Francisco developers must have had a heavy fucking hand in some of the writing

they did. And yet, Matt and Trey clearly one-upped them in a few places without anyone noticing. Like the psychic bit between the Coon and Professor Timothy: "He raped me! He raped me in my mind!"

as a game, I have two major complaints:

the microaggression minigame. If PC Principal lauded the player's success in taking advantage of the free hit instead of prompting it, it'd play out better

the bosses. The real time timer was clearly supposed to add tension but it's far too fast. You don't have to think fast, but rather skip thinking at all sometimes.

I'd like to draw up a comparison between Scott Malkinson's Captain Diabetes and the video game Captain Novolin (SNES). Both are diabetes-themed superheroes, but Captain Diabetes isn't a tremendous faggot and I would totally read that book

Completely disagree. The stick of truth was developed in Maya, the same software used for the actual show, so porting the assets of the show to the game was done very easily, to the point you can't even tell the game from an episode of the show. Is fucking amazing.

On the other hand, The Fractured but Whole KINDA emulates how the show looks, but only in the coon "dramatic scenes" of the show, and I guess that's because this one runs in Unity, which is bad enough. For comparison, there's how Coon and Friends NORMALLY looks on the show, but all characters look like the second "dramatic" pic all the time, with that shitty shading for some reason. That's the first thing that put me off from the very beginning.

Then as the game went on little fun details in the original that came back in this one were just overdone. Shitting in toilets in the Stick of Truth was funny becase it was not mandatory and it was just pressing A to get more literal shit to use in combats, if ever. In the second game it's a goddamn mini game and you need to shit in all houses for some reason.

I just didn't finish the game. I just like to pretend there is no sequel, and that Stick of Truth was just an standalone passion project and Ubisoft never got their shitty hands on it.

they made him the Professor X of the Freedom Pals instead of the Iron Maiden, a play on Iron Man. Possibly for copyright reasons (Iron Maiden's lawyers have been getting a little uppity lately), possibly to give him a stronger role

I liked SoT, but I found Fractured Butthole to be boring and unfunny. The combat gets stale very fast, and the story is so shit I can't even remember a single detail of it.

It's a shame since Stick of Truth is a funny and charming game.
