South Park: The Stick of Truth Message Board older than one year ago

Almost two years late, and following a publisher change and multiple delays, Obsidian’s South Park: The Stick Of Truth is finally out this week. (Today in the States, Australia tomorrow, and Europe on Friday, because, sigh.) But has it been worth the wait? As ever, it’s complicated. Here’s wot I think:

Trey Parker and Matt Stone lampoon and honor the RPG genre with great (and hilarious) success.

South Park is a series known for its ability to get away with quite a lot, but not everything. Add South Park: The Stick of Truth to the raucously raunchy series’ short list of consolations, as it’s had a few scenes nipped and tucked in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. You might feel inclined to curse up a storm, make a steaming pile of poop jokes, and then somehow come around to making a worthwhile point in response, but take a deep breath: the PC version is unaffected.

Ubisoft has confirmed the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of South Park: The Stick of Truth have been censored in Europe.

Seven scenes have been removed from the console versions of South Park: The Stick of Truth in the EMEA region, which covers the not so small continents of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. That's in addition to the game's censorship in Australia, where the often prominent Classification Board deemed a certain scene had to be edited if the game was to be rated for sale.

As BT.com spotted, Ubisoft sent out a document to publications this week that confirmed 7 scenes, each around 20 seconds long, have been removed from the EMEA console versions of The Stick of Truth. As you can imagine given the often controversial nature of the TV series, the scenes are NSFW reading, and some readers may be sensitive to their descriptions. We've included them below the break.

In preparation for South Park: The Stick of Truth, which comes out next week for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, here are the ten best episodes of South Park, presented in no particular order.Read more...

The hour of South Park: The Stick of Truth‘s arrival is nearly upon us – you know, after being nearly upon us, like, three different times before delays rudely shoved it out of the limelight. But now it’s (probably) happening for real this time, and Ubisoft has gameplay to prove it. 13 minutes of gameplay, to be precise. Why, that’s the entire… er, tutorial. OK, so maybe it’s not the most exciting bit, but there are still some hearty chuckles to be had. Well, if you think Cartman is the almighty wizard god emperor of humor, anyway.

It's tough being the new kid in town. In South Park: The Stick of Truth, it's extra difficult because you have to put up with Cartman calling you a "douchebag" and demanding you pay exorbitant dues just to be part of his crummy little kingdom.

Greg and Ryan geek out over finally getting to play South Park: The Stick of Truth.

Achievement reveals have lost some of their appeal here over the years. But then I see the list for South Park: The Stick of Truth and I feel compelled to share it. Here's the very first one, for 15 Gamerscore. "New Kid on the Block: Join the KKK."Read more...

The Hankeys have made a new home in the sewer. They're still as dysfunctional as ever.

The Stick of Truth has been stolen. Prepare to throw down, brah.

The green goo transforms hallway monitors into something even lamer!

It is the near future, the year 2014. We are approaching The Ascension. It has long been foretold that this time would come, and that South Park: The Stick Of Truth would come out. The runes are now glowing, high on Mount Youtube, to be seen far and wide. A harbinger of things to come. This ungodly glow brings with it news of How The Game Was Made to all the subjects of the land. Soon, everyone shall know of the farts and the animation, and the existential horror of seeing a child’s voice coming out the face of a grown man. Gaze ye upon it, and prepare for the incoming storm.(more…)

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone discuss the making of their imminent RPG.

I love the way South Park: The Stick of Truth looks just like the TV Show. I know the show has been animated on computers for years, but imitating its 2D animation so perfectly feelse like a greater magic trick than anything performed by Battlefield 4.

Speaking of magic tricks. Come watch this latest trailer about how to cup and throw one in the other new Obsidian RPG.(more…)

In any other game, a trailer like the one you see above for South Park: The Stick of Truth would serve as a short introduction to your character's attacks. This being a South Park game however, the footage focuses on the damage potential of weaponized flatulence.

Using a spell is as easy as it is disgusting in the new South Park RPG.

Cartman teaches us how to use ranged magic attacks in the upcoming South Park RPG.

Along with Watch_Dogs and The Crew, now South Park: The Stick Of Truth has fallen into next year. The game already slipped and slid when it was THQ’s property, and it doesn’t seem to be getting a grip on the town’s famously snowy streets under its new rulership. Having previously been given the 10th December for console (although PC was conspicuously never announced, and naturally Ubisoft ignored all our enquiries as to why), it’s now three months further on, on the 7th March 2014. Ubi are hoping a genuinely good video will make us calm. It’s less likely to work on their shareholders, who are already throwing their stakes out of the window and running screaming into the hills.

South Park: The Stick of Truth has been delayed again.

Brian and Greg take you through the nuts and bolts of Matt and Trey's new RPG.

Once upon a time, South Park: The Stick of Truth was all set to come out and be playable and have violence and swear words and do all that good stuff games have been known to do. Then THQ kerploded into a thunderous rain of burning dollars, and the Uncertain Times began. Ubisoft pulled Obsidian’s off-the-wall RPG from the wreckage, sure, but it flung the game into release limbo in the process. So we waited. And waited. And waited. And– oh hey, now we’re done waiting! South Park’s finally within spitting/mouth-shitting distance of the finish line, and it’ll be available to all come December 10th.

Ubisoft has announced that South Park: The Stick of Truth will launch on December 10 in North America and December 12 in Europe, right in the holiday release window announced at E3.

South Park: The Stick of Truth comes out on December 10 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in North America. Pre-orders receive some extra goodies in the Ultimate Fellowship Pack, which includes four exclusive costumes with special abilities: Necromancer Sorcerer, Rogue Assassin, Ranger Elf and Holy Defender.

Also available on December 10 is the Grand Wizard Edition for $80. It includes the game, a figurine of Cartman as Grand Wizard, a map of the Kingdom of South Park and the Ultimate Fellowship Pack.

We know when, but now if only we knew where to stick our truth.

The South Park RPG has a release date. We break down the latest trailer.
