The farting business doesn't really do it for me. And I enjoy South Park, well, at least the earlier seasons.

Not going to write the game off or anything, but not a D1P now that I've got a taste of the humor.

It would be fine if it was just Cartman, because he's such a fatass, and it would just be one attack you could ignore or use rarely. But I don't want everyone to be farting all game and using it to destroy barriers and stuff. The creators of South Park can do better than that.

Cartman's fart flame attack was awesome. :lol:

But I admit, the game has way to much farting. Fart on this shit on the wall, fart on the door to break it down, fart on this, fart on that.

At first I thought it is OK, but watching the video a second time, ther is really too much farting. And SP is not just about that.

I've been watching random SP episodes while eating lately and I don't remember a single fart joke.

I think most, if not all of the fart jokes actually came from the Terrence and Phillip Show that the SP gang watches. Regardless, the farting feels forced as hell, some kinda misplaced notion that it's actually funny. They shouldn't play up the farting if they wanna make it work.

The bad part of SP has always been about this. Toilet humour is what comes up mostly in the episodes of SP that I dont like or thr part of episodes I don't like. They are best when they make parodies of things, show the absurdity of everything.

Don't forget the survival horror genre games (like Amnesia), where a simple fart somewhere would be a good thing to make player shit himself.

They created Terrance and Philip as a joke about how people criticized their show for being all toilet humor way back when they first started when it really wasn't. Now it has come full circle.

And Terrence and Philip is actually a sarcastic take on what South Park is said to be in the first place.

Like it'd be the first time the press release writers forgot the PC version even exists. :mad:
