the NEW South Park game is underwhelming 

For me, the fact that this game was released for 30 bucks tells me the developers knew it wasn’t on the same level as the previous two. It comes across as the type of game that they’re just like “hey we thought this sounded fun and wanted to try it out, hope you think it’s fun too”. Idk maybe it’s just me but I think it’s fine for a smaller game.

What is funny is that if it all ends up being an long dream of Eric Cartman desperately hoping for a snow day, then they have an excuse to put in a real third game for the South Park Trilogy, preferably one with Pirate/Ninja themes. That way Snow Day gets slotted into an What-If Spinoff while we get a real RPG to end the Trilogy.

Well that’s a shame, thought this would’ve been the game to close out a great trilogy of South Park rpg games.

I once tried to stay the night with some kid from school when I was like 9 or 10 years old. It was some 2 bedroom tiny apartment and his mom smoked like a chimney inside choking me out, and she cussed like a sailor calling us little assholes all the time. She let us play a South Park game on the N64 and I repeated one of the lines and said a cuss word, so she made me go outside and call my parents to come get me because she said I was disrespectful. That was the first time I got to actually watch or see anything South Park and was also one of the most bizarre experiences I remember from being a kid.

I find it odd that Snow Day was released in 2024 when the Fractured but Whole came out in 2017. That’s a huge gap. I hope we get a 4th game to end the trilogy.

I think they did a good job translating the South Park characters into 3D than what the developers did back during the N64 or PS1 days

This is the first 3D South Park game since South Park Rally released in 2000 That was 23-24 years ago

The characters are about the only thing that have the South Park aesthetic, and they kind of clash with everything else. It doesn't look like the South Park world at all. There are familiar landmarks, but everything is buried in snow. It almost seems like they did it that way just so they wouldn't actually have to create a fleshed out 3D town of South Park.

There was actually one time where I lost all my Easter break one year because school was cancelled so many times, so horrible. The sacrifices we had to make that year 😁

The 2D scroller is what really helped set South Park games apart. It was like watching an exclusive extra-long episode. It also confuses me why they didnt lean into the idea of time traveling and doing a game that also took place in future South Park. I think what would have been a tonne of fun.

I personally think that 2D-3D transition was really cool and unique

Fun fact: South Park episodes are written one week after another, so that the writers can tackle on that week’s popular topics so the topics don’t die once the episode is released.

Petition to make them play Spider-Man shattered dimensions

This game is a huge disappointment. We waited 7 years for Happy Wars 2.0.

I just wanted another one of those rpg. Turned based South Park games again. Stick of truth is amazing

For $30 it’s worth picking up and playing , everyone keeps comparing it to previous games ofc it’s hard to compete with their best work

Honestly. I wasn't concerned when the trailer was released

I Wish they could have tried to give the open world south park game another go after the last one got cancelled in 2005, I know fans would've loved to see that.

Best way to sum up this game would be... if this was the first modern south park game it would be amazing but because we got better one first it's just okay

I live in Las Vegas so I've only seen snow once or twice in my life so the concept of a "snow day" is so bizarre to me😂

Visual wise it doesn’t look as bad as you guys say

This game seems like a result of all the deals Matt and Trey have made where it seems like the IP is just stretched too thin. Having to make 2 lots of specials for 2 different streaming services and trying to make a game at the same time resulted in a pretty average product.

I kinda figured it was gonna suck when they barely put out any advertising. The other 2 were MASSIVELY advertised and hyped up😊

With a title like that and the intro being what it is, this game REALLY shouldve based itself off post apocalyptic movies and games more than doing stick of truth again. It would work way more with the new gameplay style and allow for more original jokes and plot lines since the neither the show or games had really had any apocalypse setting (beyond like two episodes technically)

I like how this game release's less than a week after Spring officially starts and winters over just to remind us of what some of us just experienced a month or two ago in January and February of this year.

I think this was basically a tech demo for the actual third game in the series. They wanted to see if it could work as an action rpg and this was something they made to test it. The issues of this game are the result of them not wanting to put much effort in what basically is a test rather than a full game

Bully part 3 when

I was really excited when this game was first teased. I thought a snow day would be the perfect setting for another great 2D game. But when actual gameplay footage started to come out I was very disappointed.

A fine example of, just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I skipped out on this just because it looked so barebone. I'm wondering if this is like a stepping stone to something greater? Like they only released this to test the waters for a bigger 3D world RPG that we actually want.

you can't go out there - you'll freeze to death

Glad you guys are back to uploading more often, missed your chaotic duo dynamic. Thinking about it, I watch a lot of channels that are specifically about 2 people playing video games together…

CO native here. There is a town called South Park here, but its nothing like the show lol. We also just had a huge blizzard last week, so this is fitting!

I wasn't allowed to watch south park but we had an old small black and white portable tv that I found in the basement that I'd secretly watch on.

Sounded like you guys were having a moderate amount of fun. Seems like the price tag is accurately priced.

That wait to hear if not just "Snow Day", but the listed schools in the areas mentioned. You listened for your area and school, for the most we used an old school wall outlet Radio that also used C batteries. Thing still worked for a while after that.

Its absolutely wild they went from an amazing art style and direction from the first and second amazing games to this. They were sitting on a literal sandcastle of childrens perspective stories they could have gone with but instead we get a snow day. And I know Enter The gungeons a coop roguelike as well as Gunfire reborn but theyre kinda neat kinda genre merge.

Anyone remember that South Park tower defence game? Me and my friend lost so much time to that game.

Mind Pulp is the only channel where I've watched EVERY existing video so now I have another!❤

we have a lot of infrastructure in place, like snowplows and salt trucks to keep the roads clear during the winter months so we never really got snow days, it could be -20 your heading to school.

Yeah I'm just gonna watch walk throughs on this game.

Literally the BEST part of the the previous two games was that it looked and felt like playing an episode of South Park. Why would they remove it?

Never thought they would revisit the playstation 1 South Park game

What surprised me was how they didn’t think to go with Ninja’s as the focus in a Frozen World. That would have been INSANE!!!

XD That weird guy who asks: Is this game Woke? The truth is practically on every game page on Steam there is a weirdo asking that. Those guys should ask if the game is good, that's the most important thing. Great video guys

I think i would still pick this game up for 50% off because it doesn't look like _complete_ garbage, but they definitely went backwards by 20 years. The other two games felt like they were real episodes in game form, this reminds me more of the N64 game where you throw snowballs at turkeys. If i wasn't such a big fan of South Park, i wouldn't even give it a second look.

So happy to learn Currie is from NS. Cape Breton mentioned rahh!! We had like 6 ft of snow in February it was so crazy.

This game doesn’t even look that bad tho

This would have been so much better if it was an MMO RPG

I might get this one day when it is like 10 bucks or I get it through Humble Choice whichever comes first

am i the only who genuinely enjoys this game? for me the new 3D style just, works

I dunno, Dokibird seemed to have a lot of fun playing this in her most recent stream, soo...

Oh I found it ok, just platinum’d it like a hour ago. For £20 can’t really go wrong. Is exactly what I expected. I absolutely love the stick of truth and fractured but whole, and this game does follow those two but feels like a 2.5 game, a true trilogy game like the two before is needed, but yeah this Snow day game is decent mindless fun. Also found it funny constantly farting using the right button on the D pad (not the fart power that shoots you up in the air that you guys used in this video) 😂😂😂 and giving my character chin balls (testicules dangling from the chin) 😂😂. Yes I’m immature 😂😂

4:55 Prodigy song plays

Feel like the games getting a crazy amount of hate from RU-vidrs, but people seem to think it’s okay, just an average experience

My fav part of the dev blogs for this was when one of the lead animators said that they couldn’t get the run animation right for south park so they just added higher snow so they create a trail and it hides their legs.. That shows how little passion they had. I knew it was gonna be shit as soon as I saw that

This game is the perfect example of "if it isn't broke don't fix it".

I live in the UK and for the last few years we haven't really had snow. Well it has snowed but not enough to lay and stay there for multiple days

I still hope they make a full rpg like game to close out the trilogy. Idk what genre they can do next maybe pirates or go full space

genuinely been waiting for this video since i heard it was p bad and got rankings similar to kong and gollem

The 3d looks pretty good.

every time there is an irish snow it's in march

Been loving these videos these past several months, I love hearing when people refer or talk about runescape consider im a current player lol

Stick of Truth still remains the best.

I knew it’d be ass when they ruined it with the 3d graphics. The first game was so popular and successful because it looked just like the show.

I guess that's a benefit of living in the north? We had snow days almost every year.

“Your making Santa” Me thinking he looks more like a gnome

Finally somone knows my experience with this game

I honestly love this game. It's obviously not as good as Stick of Truth or Fractured But Whole, but it was never trying to be; comparing it to them is unfair to what it's trying to achieve. It's a spin-off, not a direct sequel. It's a great experience from start to finish, and I like how much changes with each playthrough. It's definitely more of an episode than the other 2 too. The other 2 LOOK like an episode, but feel like movies; Snow Day FEELS like an episode, a good 1 at that. It really felt like it could've come straight out of a random season. Anyway, yeah, I love it, it's definitely getting way too much hate. Expecting another SoT & FBW when they're not even aiming to do that is setting yourself up for disappointment, when you could instead just be having fun with it.

I actually played the first and second games of South Park a couple months ago and I enjoyed them a lot. I accepted that there wouldn't be a third game since The Fractured but Whole came out in 2017. So imagine my surprise when I heard that a third game was coming out a month after I finished the last one. But sadly, it didn't live up to the previous two. Hopefully, South Park Studios will attempt to make a game again in their original 2D style.

"and my reward for pre-emptively purchasing a vidy game is.. a dunce hat"

I was never allowed to go anywhere near South Park or Family Guy as a kid and it kinda makes sense with the, er, content haha😅

The curse of three. If you make 3 of anything, the third one is always the worst version

so its South Park on the N64 but with the new kid basically

I finished this game in about four hours and then I tried to go back into it afterwards and I couldn't get into the main menu because pressing X apparently doesn't work anymore

I’m personally excited for snow day because I like to aspect where it’s a multiplayer RPG instead of a player versus player game we can upgrade your stats and work with your friends to solve missions

More like South Park Shit Day.

Nice use of The Prodigy's _Firestarter_ there!

I swear I remember Matt or Trey mentioning that they didn't want to go into the realm of 3D South Park games after the N64 era.

you guys literally just hate on everything. it's a funny ass game and it has things other games should take notes on

The current gaming landscape are such whiney spoilt brats. The game looks amazing, it’s funny to play and is a blast with friends. No wonder most games tank, the people playing them expect perfection or send it to slaughter. If you don’t want to follow a sheep’s opinion, give the game a go and see for yourself. It’s a fun game and is by far the best looking 3D South Park yet!

I noticed some glitches where their speaking gets cut off😭

You guys should do waterworld for the snes, yknow the kinda mid game with the amazing soundtrack based off an honestly underrated action movie.

Can people stop using the word woke?

I do think visually it looks good, especially with trying to bring the style to 3D. That being said…I don’t think Trey and Matt thought this one out very well

“Range has to be low damage or else it’s overpowered” Guns exist and yes they broke the meta 😂

To be honest ive been waiting for a more 3D approach

The thing about snow in the uk is that we get more ice than we do snow so that’s why it’s seen as a big deal when we get a decent amount of snow although we rarely get snow nowadays

Haven't played the game, but I have watched interviews with Matt, gameplay reviews, and watched the cutscenes "movie.: The first 2 games are more based on Trey's preference of games while Snow Day is more Matt's preference, which is more just fighting games. I imagine they decided to jump into 3d to switch from turn-based combat into hack-and-slash combat. There are also some cutscenes with Mr. Hankey that I'm sure they loved animating in 3d. I was skeptical about the 3d when first seeing it, but it looks great, a lot better than I would've thought. The story is pretty good aswell, obviously not as fleshed out as the other stories which does make it feel rushed since every plot point is usually solved at the end of a mission then it moves on. I doubt this will be the last South Park game and we will get more RPG ones. It's also being speculated that Snow Day might be live service, so more stuff might be added to flesh it out even more. It also seems like if you can play the game co-op with a friend or two, it makes the game much more enjoyable, which was the game's goal. So while it's not the game a lot of people were expecting and hoping for it does provide a quick but fun story, and if you're able to play with friends it's worth a shot

The day of snow days are over with zoom. So happy I didn’t have that in school!

I don't know if it's the best parts on the video but you guys seems to having fun to me, it counts a lot.

This has a Gamepass price tag written all over it

Would be fun to see you guys play the original n64 South Park game

Please i want to hear more Nu Shooz music clips in the video

They tried to cook something up but I feel like it didnt work at all, compared to the other 2 games it is just not comparable and its better in 2d than 3d

you literally created a smurf as your character lol

Im gonna need you to play the entire game, so I don't have to. Please.

I can’t believe we went from Stick of Truth to this lmao

Thisll be so much fun when it drops for free on epic games

I like how south parks satire is so good the people there actually making fun of use clips of it as a gotcha to other people.
