South Park RPG Class List Includes the Jew

[Judgmentalist]

New to South Park, are we?

i -HATE- Southpark. Its Vulgar, its Racist, Its Frankly Discusting, And it really seems to only cater for Lowest-Common Denominator Humor. I mean, Ive seen snippets of the show, and there are only so many ways that a show can make Penis jokes. I also saw part of the World of Warcraft eppisode, but stopped watching after one of the characters Defecated on his mothers face For Absolutely no reason .

Horrible show, This will be a horrible game, and the world will be worse for it.

penis jokes are actually fairly rare, jokes about minorities and hippies being worthless trash folk are more common, with a provision for mexicans because cartman can use them for labor.

Also, it wasn't for no reason. If you watched the show, you'd know it is actually an expertly crafted metaphor speaking on the topic of antiquated gender politics, patriotism, and the beautious act of lovemaking. I don't blame you for not getting it, as to understand it, you have to be watching the show very regularly, or else it seems like a bizarre dhiarrhea gag. It's actually quite profound, and all the more so for its simplicity.

Amirite, fellas?

This is why forums need a like button.

I still think this is a bad idea, just sayin'.

cant be certain until it comes out, though.

 

[Fluffythepoo]

They took a running joke from south park and put it in the south park game... moving on

I take it you didn't like the Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrance_and_Phillip_in_Not_Without_My_Anus] special episodes they made specifically for people like you, then?

The Sydney Morning Herald noted the episode contained 29 separate fart jokes in the span of 22 minutes.

That's 1.3 fart joke per minute.

The combat sounds like it will be a combination of Paper Mario and Final Fantasy VII. It will be turned-based but you'll definitely get chances to react to attacks with a timed button press.

So it will be like Paper Mario then... Sicne that pretty much is both turn based and reaction based without the comparison of Final Fantasy...

Every race should be so lucky to have such a neutral representation of themselves on the air. Television is run mostly by white racists (Rupert Murdoc, I'm looking right at you), hence why you only see a-typical white families or white teens on television unless it's in a mocking light.

The truly hilarious part of this statement is just how much racists ***** and moan about mixed-race couples and non-white families taking over TV, edging out all-white families and presenting race mixing as good and wholesome or even worse, preferable to finding a partner with the same skin colour to you.

I love how two groups of people can look at the exact same TV shows and come up with two opinions so ridiculously far apart from each other.

 

[SonicWaffle]

That said, what I really want is a Futurama game.

No, you don't. It really, really sucked

 

[NiceGurl_14]

I'm actually really excited about the idea of creating a game within the South Park world. Something about it just seems EPIC on a whole other level. I'll probably end up playing it on the PC so this will be interesting to see how it comes together.

 

[Aprilgold]

The cynic in me says TV tie-in game, probably crap. But I love South Park so I want it to be good.

You can't really fuck up Super Mario now can you? And its Obsidian doing it, so at least a Decent RPG will be coming about because of it.

 

[Anchupom]

Pahahaa, I need this in my life.
I hope this sparks a new breed of RPG classes...

 

[Kopikatsu]

Hate South Park? That's not even possible. xD

OT: Not sure if im comfortable with Obsidian making it though... Smells of bugfest.

Too vulgar. I understand that if you can look beyond that, it's a fairly clever satire show...but I can't manage it.

 

[Illithidae]

Fox is gonna have a field day with this, and it will be GLORIOUS.

This is easily the thing I worry most about this. It seems like a game with good potential, but the media's gonna eat it up. I worry that Obsidian will be buried under the press for good.

 

[MANIFESTER]

I remember I was in Israel last year, and I bought a South Park shirt with the Hebrew text saying "Jew Gold is a secret." Surprisingly, the show is decently popular over there Jew jokes aside. It is probably one of the best pitch perfect satire shows on American cable out there next to Colbert. As to people being mad at the Jew class, I just don't see why they should be mad. To me it is just a nice reference to the hardcore South Park fans, and in the end isn't that who the game will most appeal to anyway? I mean if you don't like the show you probably are not going to buy it.

 

[Frozengale]

I don't watch to much South Park. I've watched the Man Bear Pig and WoW episodes several times, but that is about it. But this right here means I'm at least going to be watching this game closely, "The combat sounds like it will be a combination of Paper Mario and Final Fantasy VII."

I don't recall many mixed couples on television, but I will acknowledge that it's been a while since I've tuned in to TV proper, all I can picture are fat white husbands with skinny wives and annoying best friends who are all white as the snow, but hopefully that's changed, and if so the racists can totally suck it.

As for the opinions, there was, amusingly enough, a south park about this very subject. The thing is that people will project their own views onto anything, without even considering what the artist was really trying to say. Because humans are egomaniacs and think everything is not only about them, but it agrees with them.

What a world eh?

 

[praus]

The jew? Pfff. I want to see if they put the muslim.

Probably not. Suicide bomber is not a very reusable power set.

Well, banelings in SC2 are really good.

Hnnnng. My family's Jewish, but...

I wouldn't say that I take offense to this exactly, but I do feel a bit uncomfortable about it. Maybe it's just because I hate the show as a whole.

One thing you have to remember is that even though all of the Jew jokes, South Park portrays Kyle as the moral compass of the group. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Broflovski#Personality_and_traits

Also, the lack of sensitivity towards Jews is common in small towns with few Jews around, and the show regularly portrays it either as ignorance (most of what Cartman says) or as parody (Jew gold).

That's why I'm not offended. It's not because South Park offends everyone, as some claim, but because any time it offends someone they have some kind of point and do it in a smart way. Its not offense for the sake of offending as some shows are.

And yes, I'm a Jew.

All I heard was "Paper Mario" and I started humping my computer screen.

Same.... Ever since my N64 died I've been feeling a deep craving for Paper Mario.... No one understands our love....
