I don't care about achievements but they list of them came out today and I have to say, they are pretty funny. We can assume they will be the same on Steam as they are on the consoles.

The combat looks a bit, err, Pokemon. Not sure what I was expecting though.

Style wise it looks amazing.

lol that looks great and I like the turnbase combat with some real time movement thrown in, reminds me of the Mario rpg games on the GBA/DS, too many action based rpg combat systems nowadays

The combat reminds me more of the traditional jrpg's like final fantasy.

Yup, exactly like the Mario RPGs which is great news. I was ready to write this game off because I hate turn based combat, but the only time I liked it was in those Mario games. It's not just a stupid select attack and watch animation thing like most turn based games, you at least have some control over damage dealt and taken.

That gameplay vid may have just saved this game for others like me.

This looks sooooo fun.

Ha, I don't even watch South Park, however, I use to watch it over 10 years ago. Man, this game brings back memories of the TV show and also a N64 South Park game that I played way back when. I am really excited for this game, I am actually more excited for this game than any other game this year, and I am not completely sure why. Maybe its the fact that I know its gunna suck me in and give me a good laugh while I play it.

You can get it cheaper. Some place had it for $45

 

[KaOTiK]

I can get it for $39 if anyone is interested (Steam gift not no shady Russian key)

 

[mmntech]

This game might actually be pretty awesome. Love South Park. Price is steep though, but it is an RPG.

This game looks hilarious and awesome. Waiting impatiently for release.

GMG has had 20% and 25% coupons on and off for this game. I'm sure they'll have another soon.

 

[WiseUp216]

Pre-load is now available on Steam for those (like me) who can't wait for Tuesday...

Haven't looked forward to a game this much in a while.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Looking forward, but I'll wait till I see some player reviews.

Same here. This game could easily be a giant flop and they could make all their money from pre-order hype. I want to buy it, but I'm holding off just in case.

 

[surfsatwerk]

Pre-loading now.

There are tons of player reviews out already. Almost universally positive, just like the critics early reviews.

Stick of truth unlocked for everyone on steam around 11pm tonight. Enjoy your sleepless night!

Not a fan of the QTE's and rebindable keys should be in every PC game at this point. As a fan of South Park however, it looks entertaining enough.
