  • Is it even possible to make South Park games as good as The Stick of Truth or The Fractured But Whole? Probably, but they sure as hell didn't with this game.

    I figured out whats wrong with this game. Its extremely safe, it doesn't have that South Park "We don't give a f*ck about anything so we're going to make fun of things as much as we want* Spark in it. Aside from a few moments (Mostly involving how the New Kid ruined both past games) there's really not much in this that one could consider South Park. For example it took me quite a while to realize the Snow storm was supposed to be a stand in for Covid.

      Yeah, people have forgotten just how low the bar can actually go for a bad South Park game. And the N64 FPS was honestly better than some of the other licensed stuff they put out back then, especially PSX version of that game, which was the same but ran worse. Snow Day seems about as good as the tower defense game they released on Xbox Live Arcade back in the day - decent, but nothing amazing.

    For the record, in a rougelike it's normal to have to restart the game from the very beginning when you die. That's what defines a rougelike, even. That being said, usually one complete run on a rougelike will only take around an hour or so.
    The draw of a rougelike isn't usually just to "progress", but to take on harder and harder difficulties that require better and better play, so the idea of having to restart doesn't really make you feel like you've lost something or wasted time, but instead that you need to try again and hope to do better to overcome the challenge.

    The game felt SO unfinished when I was playing. Textures that looked like they were from the PS2 era even on some of the objects (like the logo on Princess Kenny's throne was almost unrecognizable) But also just felt like once you get past the opening scene of Cartman being excited about a snow day, the comedy mostly ended.
    Also you mentioned that maybe as they expand the game to tie in with future episodes it might be worth the $30 price tag... but I have every reason to believe given the state of the gaming industry that any additional content will be paid, which ultimately raises the price tag to get the game plus any tie in content they release. Which to me, will make the game continue to act in a value deficit

    I find it amusing to see someone experiencing roguelikes for the first time with this game
    For what it's worth, from your description, it's not good content for a roguelike, it's mixing mechanics from several really good roguelikes but not with the same polish that makes other roguelikes really stand out
    A few things:
    * Yeah, roguelikes are meant to be replayed a lot, some use meta progression (like this game) to try to make you play as much as possible, more traditional roguelikes would make it more of a knowledge and/or skill check to win
    * Randomization is a big aspect of the genre, many games have the entire level being random, some games prefer to limit randomization to have better level design
    * Roguelikes in general aren't known for their story, there's about a handful of known exceptions, primarily Hades, Deathloop, Returnal, Children of Morta and Wildermyth, like I said, a handful
    * If you're experienced at all in the genre in the last few years, this game really doesn't seem to offer anything, I'm not surprised at the harsher reviews since most of them come from people that have a lot of experience in the genre

    @Piggytje 2 месяца назад +88

    the idea of a roguelike game is that you start a run and when you die the entire game resets and the drops/chests and sometimes even the map changes. so Snow Day would be a rogueLITE cause of it only resetting one level and not your entire progress. (games like noita, dead cells, risk of rain are popular roguelikes)
    edit: I never meant to say the games i listed where rogueLITES I just edited my comment without thinking that now it looks like I see noita or risk of rain as a roguelike

    • @silverlight6074
      @silverlight6074 2 месяца назад +8

      I'd argue Risk of Rain is still under the roguelike umbrella, because the only progress it maintains between runs is unlocking new stuff. It's on the edge because there *is* progress, but the progress doesn't really make your baseline more powerful or your upgrades stronger, it just gives you more options. It's kind of like adding more slides to a slot machine.

Reminds me of those old Harry Potter lego games. Acceptable back then, ridiculous now. The second South Park game was nearly perfect but of course they had to fix something that was never broken. And this is always the end result. Regardless of whether it's games, music, movies or whatever. If it works, keep doing it. Add new stuff to avoid being boring but don't try to reinvent the wheel cause you'll always end up just breaking it and losing money.

    I do enjoy my rogue-likes. But a true RL is going to start you over once you die. And I mean start over. Back to the very beginning. Lose all your progress/items. Do it again. Binding of Isaac is a great example of this. It's punishing, but in a fair way to leave the player in control to learn and get better. Going back to the start of the chapter can be harsh, but I don't think that's RL (personally). I think that's just an actual game over mechanic, not meant to upend an entire run.
