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.
Trey and Matt actually stated they wanted to make a multiplaye/co op game to play with friends since it was difficult to do with the others. Which is another reason it's 30 bucks. They didn't want to overprice it because it was something different from the usual. And they weren't sure how it was going to do. Appreciate their honesty tbh
I just don't get why people seem to have a hate boner for this game. Especially when they constantly bring up the fact that it's 3D. Games like The Simpsons Hit & Run and Spongebob Squarepants Battle For Bikini Bottom didn't have the best graphics, but those games are heavily praised. It's like people expect every game that comes out now to be perfect and it's delusional.
@@tvgamerstan6180Those games are beloved for their gameplay, and their graphics were perfectly acceptable for the time they came out. It has nothing to do with them being 3D. I think people are mostly criticizing Snow Day for its overall bland and mediocre design in every category, especially after the last two South Park games were highly regarded and had comparatively better presentation. I people would be okay with a 3D South Park game as long as it's good. This one just came off as cheap and kind of lazy from the get go.
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.
I see this as a prototype to SP's 3d games. Just like the other 2 new kid games, Fractured but whole improves upon the original, so I could see them making a much bigger game with a new theme in a few years time.

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.

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
@@katonnorWe don't dislike it because it's not like the other two games. We dislike it because it sucks. If you're really defending this garbage then you're the problem dude.
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.
the game came from the other half of the pair getting the two RPGs and avoiding burn out issues working on a different type of game. there is a reason why its 30, they wanted to keep the first 3d game lower scale.
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
It's a rogue lite not an RPG in the slightest if you try to judge it through that lense you'll be disappointed every time. Don't cope, this is the game that came out , this is what you got and thats ok , not everything is gonna be good all the time. Idk why everyone thought this was gonna be on par with the other games when both stick and fractured were made by triple A game studios and this was made by an indie studio with only two small games under their belt neither in the genre this game is
@@punksnotdead5367 I’m not saying it’s a bad game or that it should have been the third game in the series. It’s just that it should have been more for its own good. With more levels, more emphasis on story, maybe a party system that allowed you to choose one of the South Park kids as party members (and allow another player to jump in and control them at any moment) it would have been better. But it’s clear that it’s never going to be more than a side game in the franchise and that they won’t expand it with much more content other than an additional game mode, some (useless) cosmetics and a couple more weapons.
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.
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)
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.
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 feel like they took a step backwards in a couple ways. South Park in 3D animation kind of died out with the N64. And medieval fantasy RPG in South Park? I'm pretty we already played this game before.
Idk why everyone thought this was gonna be on par with the other games when both stick and fractured were made by triple A game studios and this was made by an indie studio with only two small games under their belt neither in the genre this game is
TV reception from airwaves. No cable, no satellite, no Internet TV. Any TV that had basic reception got about 10 channels for free. Used the same airwaves as emergency vehicles so they started removing it around 2009. I'm from rural Canada. @@Optimegatrongodzilla
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.
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.
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
@@marcelosoares7148 apparently Matt and Trey wasn’t happy with the run anim because it didn’t look like South Park. It was a more conventional run animation.
Why do people keep saying "the first game" or the "the second game"?. Just because fractured was a direct sequel to stick of truth doesn't mean every south Park game that comes after will also be. There were a bunch of south Park games that came out before them and it's a safe bet to say there will be many more in the future as well. Let each product stand on the merrit of it's own two feet instead of comparing it to something it was never gonna be
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…
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 😂😂
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.
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.
@@gracekim1998Spin-offs can still reference previous games, especially when they're as meta as South Park. A direct sequel would be another game that's exactly like the other 2: same style, same genre, same sense of a movie-size plot, etc. Glad to hear you like it too though!
@KungFuKamehameha The other 2 are the same genre. They don't have to be 1:1, but Snow Day isn't even close to what they are. Yes, it exists in the same universe. Yes the story continues. No, that doesn't make it a DIRECT sequel. That'd be like saying the Loki show is a direct sequel to Avengers: Endgame. It's not, it exists in the same world & references events from it, but it's clearly a spin-off.
@KungFuKamehameha is the Simpsons Game a direct sequel to Simpsons Hit & Run? The game is 30 dollars & is more of a sequel to “The Problem with a Poo” episode, plot-wise. This is more of an “offshoot sequel” than a direct sequel.
Where did you hear that? King and gollum got consistent 3-4s and this games been getting 6-7s. It's mediocre for sure but by no means a bad game. People are just salty cause they wanted a sequel to the stick of truth and fractured , despite Matt and trey saying specifically they wanted to do something different and hence this games getting a lot of hate from fans for being different, the games biggest fault honestly is that it's just mid. Not great at anything, not really bad at anything just kinda mediocre. Funny but mediocre. And the live service part kinda blows but hey what can you do
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
@@almightyk11it's a really enjoyable game in my opinion! I don't see what the complain is about 😂 I'm glad they are making more games! The game play is actually fun, the only real criticism I can see is it's short, but onimuhsa warlords is seen as an awesome game and I agree it is but it's really short! I don't think the length of the game and the quality of the game is the same thing!
I love that the person complaining about Wokeness specifically asked that they not be asked to actually define what "woke" means. It really is such a brain rot buzz term that has no meaning other than "thing I don't like"
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
@@livid_spider He's essentially asking if the game is rife with identity politics, forced diversity and current-year social commentary. I'd say woke elements are certainly there, but not enough to ruin the game.
@@xFlareLeon it wouldn’t be a South Park game without all of those things. South parks main thing is being topical and talking about that kinda stuff in a way that’s funny.
@@Kirasupporter1 That's a lie, many of those idiots who talk about Woke things consider Baldurs Gate 3 a Woke game for many reasons and it is a great game. They use the definition of Woke for everything but the rest of the world doesn't care about this nonsense that gringos talk about, we only care if a product is good and entertaining.
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
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.
They should’ve just remastered the n64 games The fps and rally. I have both of those and still love them. Had rally on ps1 as a kid. I would’ve bought both together if remastered for full price.
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
I would agree this game is underwhelming compared to the previous 2, but it's far from a bad game. I did manage to find people giving genuine criticism about some of the games weaknesses, but a lot of it just whiney nonsense. I usually don't like this argument, but this does feel like a case of "you're just mad it's different and wanted the same thing" as if there is some unspeakable law that every South Park game has to be a 2D rpg with the shows artstyle. I don't remember people thinking Simpsons Hit and Run was bad because it was 3D and didn't look like the show.
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
@@lutherheggs451It's an RPG. You literally create a character and play the role of that character lol. It can be both at the same time, but to not call it an RPG is wrong.
@@lutherheggs451 you guys create your character play the role you want to play and there’s even a upgrade system to upgrade your character stats in the upgrade tree that kind of sounds like an RPG to me with some rogue like random card aspect
"it's a miracle that a show like South Park exists today" ....not really considering most people have basic media literacy and realize characters like Cartman aren't good people.
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 just wish they would’ve built off the story more from the previous two episodes. It’s just so white and I get it’s a snow day but the previous two games were better combat and just mission wise.
I think this game would have been fine normally as a smaller and cheaper release but The Fractured But Whole was 7 years ago so this being the first game in that amount of time isn't good enough.
I'm confused by your comment , this game is both smaller and cheaper in everyway , literally 30$ and made by an indie studio as opposed to stick and fractureds' triple A game studios. Is it because it's been 7 years since a game has been made at all with the IP that's the issue? It wasn't advertised as a sequel to those games , quite the opposite actually as they literally said they wanted to make something different since everyone loved those games so much people wanted them to just keep making them but that's not creatively fulfilling for them
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
Good that I didn't waste money on this dumpster fire, what a shame, had alot of fun with stick of truth and fractured butt whole. Thx guys for another awesome video. Looking forward to some bad ps2 games, I actually bought a good amount of the ps2 games that you played because they were so bad I had to play them to have some laughs😂 and bought some of the good ones you played too. Please never change guys you two are awesome together. 2 of my favorite youtuber. You always make me laugh❤😂
Grant it this was made in a small period of time I believe so it can never compare to their other games that were made by a different company for a 3D game it’s not that bad. It’s not great but not horrible
I kinda wish the South Park 1998 game was remastered or remade. but in 2.5D style fps game, But improve looks and gameplay and sounds. Like character and cast are 2D like in a Stick of Truth style. But the surroundings are 3D and pseudo 3D and trying to mimic the 2D texture paper look. (XenoGears and Strider 2 are good examples)
This game looks more like an experiment. They wanted to try something different and that’s also why it’s not a full priced game. It looks fun for what it is, but I’m curious to see where the games go after this.
Honestly I don’t think the game looks that bad, I think most people are hating on it cause they hate the look of it and so they’re going with a bad attitude which intern makes everything seem worse than it is

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.

You should've been. Now look.
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😂

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
Maybe they weren't trying to compete with their previous 2 games. It's like a different type of game entirely. It is good as it's own thing
@@katonnor exactly , everyone keeps comparing it to the previous games that’s why they’re rating it so low smh
@vryan4071 which is strange I thought it was pretty clear from the trailer it was going to be a different type of game
@@katonnorWe don't dislike it because it's not like the other two games. We dislike it because it sucks. If you're really defending this garbage then you're the problem dude.
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.
the game came from the other half of the pair getting the two RPGs and avoiding burn out issues working on a different type of game. there is a reason why its 30, they wanted to keep the first 3d game lower scale.
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
There are also interviews talking about them mostly just making this game as a change of genre/pace (for themselves) and try out something brand new
@@laxmo5504 so basically I wasn’t entirely wrong. This game is just a test to see if the series works in other genres other than RPGs
It's a rogue lite not an RPG in the slightest if you try to judge it through that lense you'll be disappointed every time. Don't cope, this is the game that came out , this is what you got and thats ok , not everything is gonna be good all the time. Idk why everyone thought this was gonna be on par with the other games when both stick and fractured were made by triple A game studios and this was made by an indie studio with only two small games under their belt neither in the genre this game is
@@punksnotdead5367 I’m not saying it’s a bad game or that it should have been the third game in the series. It’s just that it should have been more for its own good. With more levels, more emphasis on story, maybe a party system that allowed you to choose one of the South Park kids as party members (and allow another player to jump in and control them at any moment) it would have been better. But it’s clear that it’s never going to be more than a side game in the franchise and that they won’t expand it with much more content other than an additional game mode, some (useless) cosmetics and a couple more weapons.
@@punksnotdead5367 Spread those cheeks a little wider bro
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.
Visual wise it doesn’t look as bad as you guys say
No, it looks worse!
@@legometaworld2728 drama queen
It looks actually alright they are just playing it up because its a show.
@@flariz4824 I don’t think so lmao
@@TheRedBarron the generally do. Their actual honest thoughts are always at the very end, I feel. Thats kind of their MO
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)
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.

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 feel like they took a step backwards in a couple ways. South Park in 3D animation kind of died out with the N64. And medieval fantasy RPG in South Park? I'm pretty we already played this game before.
Mind Pulp is the only channel where I've watched EVERY existing video so now I have another!❤
Sounded like you guys were having a moderate amount of fun. Seems like the price tag is accurately priced.
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?
Idk why everyone thought this was gonna be on par with the other games when both stick and fractured were made by triple A game studios and this was made by an indie studio with only two small games under their belt neither in the genre this game is
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.
@STCloud-xg6zc
How did you get a cable/satellite channel like Comedy Central on one of those?
"farmer vision" had a channel (13?) that played episodes of the Simpsons and south park @@Optimegatrongodzilla
@@STCloud-xg6zc What's "farmer vision"?

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.
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.
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
Well, South Park is known for its "bad" animation so i guess that decision would fit right in the actual show.
@@marcelosoares7148 apparently Matt and Trey wasn’t happy with the run anim because it didn’t look like South Park. It was a more conventional run animation.
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 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.
Why do people keep saying "the first game" or the "the second game"?. Just because fractured was a direct sequel to stick of truth doesn't mean every south Park game that comes after will also be. There were a bunch of south Park games that came out before them and it's a safe bet to say there will be many more in the future as well. Let each product stand on the merrit of it's own two feet instead of comparing it to something it was never gonna be
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…
same
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 😂😂
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.
Yeah I'm just gonna watch walk throughs on this game.
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
I dunno, Dokibird seemed to have a lot of fun playing this in her most recent stream, soo...
Everyone has different opinions, if she liked it doesnt mean everybody else will
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.
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.
Yeah I agree there😅 I mean they do reference the previous two games so it is a sequel but I get what you’re saying
@@gracekim1998Spin-offs can still reference previous games, especially when they're as meta as South Park. A direct sequel would be another game that's exactly like the other 2: same style, same genre, same sense of a movie-size plot, etc.
Glad to hear you like it too though!
@KungFuKamehameha The other 2 are the same genre. They don't have to be 1:1, but Snow Day isn't even close to what they are.
Yes, it exists in the same universe. Yes the story continues. No, that doesn't make it a DIRECT sequel.
That'd be like saying the Loki show is a direct sequel to Avengers: Endgame. It's not, it exists in the same world & references events from it, but it's clearly a spin-off.
@KungFuKamehameha It's a spin-off sequel, just like Phone Destroyer. Idk how else to explain it further than I already have.
@KungFuKamehameha is the Simpsons Game a direct sequel to Simpsons Hit & Run? The game is 30 dollars & is more of a sequel to “The Problem with a Poo” episode, plot-wise. This is more of an “offshoot sequel” than a direct sequel.
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!!!
genuinely been waiting for this video since i heard it was p bad and got rankings similar to kong and gollem
Where did you hear that? King and gollum got consistent 3-4s and this games been getting 6-7s. It's mediocre for sure but by no means a bad game. People are just salty cause they wanted a sequel to the stick of truth and fractured , despite Matt and trey saying specifically they wanted to do something different and hence this games getting a lot of hate from fans for being different, the games biggest fault honestly is that it's just mid. Not great at anything, not really bad at anything just kinda mediocre. Funny but mediocre. And the live service part kinda blows but hey what can you do
@@punksnotdead5367 ign os where i saw it
a few others also fave it 3s and 4s initially
apparently my first reply didnt go through, but i first saw it from ign
anyway i agree with 5s and 6s from just watching this, it just got scorched by some early reviews
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
This game doesn’t even look that bad tho
It’s not bad. It’s insanely middle of the road. Which is disappointing considering how good the other games were
When you have a strong legacy "fine" is not good enough
@@almightyk11it's a really enjoyable game in my opinion! I don't see what the complain is about 😂 I'm glad they are making more games!

@@livid_spider He's essentially asking if the game is rife with identity politics, forced diversity and current-year social commentary.
I'd say woke elements are certainly there, but not enough to ruin the game.
@@xFlareLeon it wouldn’t be a South Park game without all of those things. South parks main thing is being topical and talking about that kinda stuff in a way that’s funny.

@@Kirasupporter1 That's a lie, many of those idiots who talk about Woke things consider Baldurs Gate 3 a Woke game for many reasons and it is a great game.
They use the definition of Woke for everything but the rest of the world doesn't care about this nonsense that gringos talk about, we only care if a product is good and entertaining.
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
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.
One can only hope!
They should’ve just remastered the n64 games The fps and rally. I have both of those and still love them. Had rally on ps1 as a kid. I would’ve bought both together if remastered for full price.
The 3d looks pretty good.
Been loving these videos these past several months, I love hearing when people refer or talk about runescape consider im a current player lol
This would have been so much better if it was an MMO RPG
you can't go out there - you'll freeze to death
This game is the perfect example of "if it isn't broke don't fix it".
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
The curse of three.
If you make 3 of anything, the third one is always the worst version
Yea most video games have this issue. Guess they either lose the people that made it good or the care for the ip from the people/corporation.
This is why Valve doesn't do 3s 😂
Feel like the games getting a crazy amount of hate from UA-camrs, but people seem to think it’s okay, just an average experience
Finally somone knows my experience with this game
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.
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😅
I would agree this game is underwhelming compared to the previous 2, but it's far from a bad game. I did manage to find people giving genuine criticism about some of the games weaknesses, but a lot of it just whiney nonsense. I usually don't like this argument, but this does feel like a case of "you're just mad it's different and wanted the same thing" as if there is some unspeakable law that every South Park game has to be a 2D rpg with the shows artstyle. I don't remember people thinking Simpsons Hit and Run was bad because it was 3D and didn't look like the show.

I just wish they would’ve built off the story more from the previous two episodes. It’s just so white and I get it’s a snow day but the previous two games were better combat and just mission wise.
I think this game would have been fine normally as a smaller and cheaper release but The Fractured But Whole was 7 years ago so this being the first game in that amount of time isn't good enough.
I'm confused by your comment , this game is both smaller and cheaper in everyway , literally 30$ and made by an indie studio as opposed to stick and fractureds' triple A game studios. Is it because it's been 7 years since a game has been made at all with the IP that's the issue? It wasn't advertised as a sequel to those games , quite the opposite actually as they literally said they wanted to make something different since everyone loved those games so much people wanted them to just keep making them but that's not creatively fulfilling for them
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
True, although I'd say ice is an issue with slipping on pavements (broke my arm doing that), roads etc. Yet we don't seem prepared for that either.
Never thought they would revisit the playstation 1 South Park game

Please never change guys you two are awesome together. 2 of my favorite youtuber. You always make me laugh❤😂
I actually like how the game looks , if they ran with like a battle royal , more projectile weapons this would be Infinitely more playable
Grant it this was made in a small period of time I believe so it can never compare to their other games that were made by a different company for a 3D game it’s not that bad. It’s not great but not horrible
I kinda wish the South Park 1998 game was remastered or remade.
but in 2.5D style fps game, But improve looks and gameplay and sounds.
Like character and cast are 2D like in a Stick of Truth style.
But the surroundings are 3D and pseudo 3D and trying to mimic the 2D texture paper look.
(XenoGears and Strider 2 are good examples)
This game looks more like an experiment. They wanted to try something different and that’s also why it’s not a full priced game. It looks fun for what it is, but I’m curious to see where the games go after this.
Cape Breton jumpscare we never get mentioned like anywhere lmfao
Honestly I don’t think the game looks that bad, I think most people are hating on it cause they hate the look of it and so they’re going with a bad attitude which intern makes everything seem worse than it is
The day of snow days are over with zoom. So happy I didn’t have that in school!
I mean I have to play it first to see if it's worth it. They aren't charging full price for it anyway. I know exactly what I would be getting.
I'm my opinion it is a good and fun game. It's a different type of game from the other 2 so shouldn't be compared to them.
Making toilet paper currency feels like it was done to death when the COVID episodes came out.
I never had a good feeling about this game when they announced it, especially with the 3D animation. The first two games are honestly classics though.
