Yeah between that and most games abandoning local Co op and requiring you to buy multiple copies and play exclusively online, I haven't had a solid co op experience with a game for the better part of two decades.

I kept getting the feeling while playing this that is was supposed to be a live service game that they scrapped and decided to just release anyway. Alot of it feels like that "we will add fun later, in season 2" you get from live service games, it only has 5 levels that are "infinitely replayable" with the promise of more to come (you can actually attempt to join people playing level 6 in the matchmaking menu, even though level 6 isn't real) There are cut characters everywhere, the cosmetic purchases feel like it was supposed to be a premium currency, the amount of cosmetics is impressive for a game with 5 levels, they also added a hoard mode dlc for free, which feels really weird. It lacks the big power up cards, but only on your side, all 4 maps have 3 "entrances" that feel like it was supposed to be a pvp area, with random chests dropping in various places on the battlefield. I have alot more little things that leads me to this conclusion as well. But thats just my thoughtz

@@inventiveusername5191 Yes. Same with South Park, and Family Guy, and basically every other western-cartoon-not-strictly-for-children that went on for way more seasons than any show reasonably should. At some point, the writers outgrow the show--they're no longer the same people, just as no one is the same person as their self from 10 years ago--but the show itself is still shackled to the same characters, the same setting, the same art style, and the same anything else that's dependent on the previous three characteristics. There is no reconciling this, and so the show turns into a zombified version of its former self. It no longer feels like a passion project of genuine inspiration but just a boring day job the writers feel obligated to continue indefinitely because it's what everyone loves them for.

Because it was 1998 and South Park was red hot new and popular, bonus of being super offensive to our parents at the time, when religion and right wing news media still dominated the mainstream.

Stick of Truth was fun, and as a South Park fan (from years ago, haven't seen it in ages), I found it both a fun game and spot-on with the show. Also it didn't require an Ubisoft account.

Trey was the main guy behind the rpgs. Matt wanted a South Park game that fit his tastes, thus we got Snow Day. I think the game needed at least 6 more months to iron out and change things. As it is though, I think I'd rather bust out my PC copy of that one South Park FPS that obviously doesn't exist.

[@RaxusXeronos]

And obviously Matt needs to stay out of the kitchen because no one was cooking with this. When I thought about a potential third game, I was hoping they'd dip into anime and do it kind of in the style of the episode where the gang occasionally switch to a more detailed, anime inspired style lol Like maybe whenever combat started, your character and everyone 'animefied' and maybe a running joke of bosses having 2 or more forms they keep transforming into much to everyone's annoyance.

[@darrin777]

@RaxusXeronos This. I had the exact same thoughts, with the anime ninja and other fighting styles during combat and their regular selves while traveling. Maybe if we get a fourth game... And hopefully not another free-to-play gotcha, where the ending depends on how much real world money you spent.

[@lightsidesoul]

I'm surprised there wasn't an option to not work with Cartman like in the original Stick of Truth, or at least have any of the characters acknowledge that not everyone stayed in the "human" faction. For anyone who doesn't know, In SoT, you're initially recruited by Cartman to fight in the "human" faction. However, halfway through the game, you have the choice to piss off and join the "Elves", which changes two major boss fights and who you can bring along as a companion for a raid-style mission at the school. Admittedly, the branches meet back up right after the raid and the bigger threat is introduced, but it was still interesting that they bothered to give the player a choice at all. !-Minor story spoilers past here-! I do love that the justification at the end for the game continuing despite the main villain being defeated is basically the characters deciding they don't want to go back to school so they let the big bad start up the snowstorm again, despite the fact that most of the adults are freaking out about it because of how dangerous it's made South Park

[@Tickerbee]

The "smugly dismiss both sides of a societal issue" is a very correct criticism of South Park from back when I watched it, but is also a little bit of an issue in Yahtzee's DEDA Files book series, where the two sides of the books main issues feel like "SJWs are annoying" and "genocide is bad".

[@nanoco1000]

Big agree, the "SJWs bad" part of differently morpheous was very heavy handed and not subtle in the slightest

[@Ingel_Riday6690]

I think you're missing a piece of the puzzle regarding both. Old South Park would make fun of both sides... while promoting a common sense, centrist option. They weren't nihilists. They were centrist-leaning libertarians, who thought both extreme ends of an issue were ridiculous. I've never read any of Yahtzee's books, but "SJWs are annoying" and "Genocide is bad" don't contradict each other. :-P Teasing aside, he's probably doing the same shtick. "Here's argument A and it's fundamentally flawed. Here's argument B on the other end of the spectrum. Equally flawed. He's argument C, which is probably the best of them all... but still has some flaws and none of the zealots will go for it. We're doomed." In fairness to you, though... around season 8 or so, South Park got very disillusioned and spent years just shrugging in peeved sorrow. "Argument A is stupid, argument B is equally stupid, and there's a clear logical way to stop all this madness while accomplishing the greatest good... but no one is going to care and things will just keep on sucking. There's no hope. Time to go get a drink and sigh. Episode over." 😛

[@cranapple3367]

I feel like Yahtzee and I have had similar journeys on this stuff. The awful elements that are now so openly present in our culture were more subtle then. And it's not like there weren't (or aren't) plenty of ridiculously self-righteous people out there that both deserve criticism and are resoundingly mockable. It's just that far, far worse things are now so screamingly obvious that a decent person can't help noticing them. I imagine that, like me, he wishes he'd caught on a little sooner. For me it wasn't until mid-2017 that cracks started, and mid 2020 that the dam truly burst. But there is at least some redemption in the fact that he *did* catch on, which so many people still haven't.

[@jeffk.9075]

I don't know about Yahtzee's books as I haven't read any of them. South Park however, I feel that everyone always loves South Park until they crap over whatever societal issue they care about. Then they are butthurt and hate South Park forevermore.

I can't be the only one who feels like they just did it to give a huge middle-finger to whomever forced them to make the bloody game.

I feel like this could have been a good opportunity to also bundle a review of South Park: Phone Destoyer.

[@shreemandpe]

Oh wow, I didnt know you were still writing the Will X for Y series. Time to get back into it!

[@harrylane4]

I can't believe they effectively remade the 90s south park game (that doesn't exist) and pretended that would be a good idea

[@shamefuldisplay9692]

Been a while since I've heard yahtzee, but goddamn that intro brought me back in jesus

[@abcde6081]

South park hasn't really ever been about smugly dismissing both sides of an argument, it didn't start out as that and only slightly became that during the whole Mr garrison is trump era which most everyone, including the creators, recognize as the worst seasons of the shows history. South park is moreso about the characters themselves getting into crazy situations with an occasional political commentary that is mostly clear cut and a valid discussion of the issue at hand, but those discussions are mostly left in the background (again with the exception of seasons 20 and 21) and are typically properly nuanced unless it happens to be something the creators are passionate about. The "south park is mean spirited" and "south park is just a both sides are stupid show" is largely a misconception about the show from people who aren't active fans of the show and have only really heard about the show when it becomes a trending topic in the news, it's a complete misreading of what the show is as the overwhelming majority of episodes don't have any political commentary whatsoever and are instead just about the misadventures of normal people in a crazy world. Snow days is terrible though, and extremely disappointing. The genre itself would actually work well for a south park game, the artstyle was pretty good for a 3d south park game and there is so much that could be done with the idea of a live service south park game, even if everyone's sick of live service games. I would have loved to see episode adaptations, original stories, episode sequels, returning characters, etc in a sort of season pass system with continually updated new missions. What we got instead was just empty vapid and boring.

Great video Yahtzee.

[@Donde85]

I enjoyed SoT en TFBW, but was kind of apprehensive about this one. This pretty much confirms that.

[@soldier257]

Yahtzee calling out The Guardian has got to be my new favorite moment in all his videos

[@TheAsylumCat]

Took me a minute to realize he was quoting the article.

[@soldier257]

@@TheAsylumCat what article?

[@TheAsylumCat]

@soldier257 has been a while, so I'm fuzzy on the details. There was an article a while back claiming that Southpark made it cool not to care when the show normally targets people who pretend to care. Analysis channels like Blooms and Johnny Two Chellos covered it better than I can and break down Southpark episodes.

[@uhobme2028]

If this video hadn't popped up, it probably be a very long time before i'd remember that this came out

[@AngelGames27]

I was very sad to see the state of Snow Day. Especially following SoT and FbW. I really hope they can put out a "return to form" game in the next few years.

[@dlanightfury]

Ah, a sequel to the game that gave my favourite Yahtzee line in any video

[@WinchesterxNL]

When I saw the trailer of it. I shrugged, stopped after seeing it was 3D and forgot all about it. And that while I do like South Park quite a bit

Nobody says gay as an insult, that's so early 2000s

South Park still does, because it's stuck in that exact time period.

@Hawkatana I thought time passes on South Park? And the kids just don't age because who cares.

[@MoskalMedia]

I saw that and thought Yahtzee probably noticed the mistake and didn't even bother to fix it, since the game clearly didn't put any effort and why should he?

[@esteban280889]

Its definately one for the fans. I get wanting to do something different but its not hard enough to be a rogue like or long enough to get to the boss. like being multiplayer is to blame for that since you have to balance the game around that. Should have stuck to single player and it would have been a much better game even staying with it being a rogue like

[@PlebNC]

Hope Yahtzee releases his book on paperback. It fits my lifestyle better to read a physical book.

[@estefencosta1835]

I always prefer physical copies. Something about the tactile feel of the pages is more engaging than reading text on a screen ever could be.

[@PlebNC]

@@estefencosta1835 I like the permenent ownership. Jeff Bezzos can't repossess my paperback on a whim.

[@PlebNC]

@@pokemonmanic3595 I figured that might be the case, although it says alot about how fragile Audible is as a platform that they need an exclusivity clause despite being hosted on f**king Amazon. Is Jeff Bezzos THAT afraid of brick and mortar bookstores, lol?
