Didn't they say it was supposed to be the same character as SoT? How will they explain that in the lore? Or did I mishear?

Spoiler

I dont care either way, tbh

It's cool that it's an option, tbh and might give incentive to play through twice if it ends up good.

 

[StrangeTaco]

I was joking... I kinda wish I wasn't first post now.

I didn't want to derail, this is a really cool addition.

Yeah some people are bad at recognizing sarcasm.

Cool addition though.

 

[Blues1990]

That characters will react to you being female is the best part about this. Cartman and crew would respond differently to a girl than they would a boy. And it sounds like that will be included in the game.

I'm curious if this game is a direct continuation of 'Stick of Truth', as I want to know if we are starting fresh with a new protagonist, or we can bring the character we created from there to the new game.

I'm ready for more PC Principle!

It's the same character if you play as a male but because you're not playing fantasy anymore, Douchebag goes back down to the bottom of the totem pole again, so it's essentially a reset either way.

It's Ubisoft. When's the last time they cared about lore.

According to her phone messages (zoom it), Cartman The Coon calls her "Call Girl"? Which would make sense seeing the amount of phones she carries.

Should've said get rekt ubisoft everybody would've praised you than.

That's a nice edition choice is always good

But then what will Mysterion do?!

There was a specific section in the game where you had to infiltrate the girls' club, so your character underwent a makeover to go undercover. The joke obviously wouldn't have really worked if your character was already a girl.

Yeah, I think it's acceptable to not offer gender options if it doesn't properly fit into the narrative. This is nonetheless a welcome change.

 

[Maximo]

I'm gonna play as a girl strictly to see how the boys interact with you. Which is going to be hilarious.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Welp looks like second playthrough! This is gonna be great as dressing up as a girl and infiltrating their ranks in the first was funny.

 

[Copper]

So we get to play as an ad?

Not to mention the whole plot revolved around the boys playing this game and the girls doing their own thing on the side. They could have in hindsight added a tomboy that no one realized was a girl until later, but if that were the case some of the armor choices you could buy later would have gone from 'oh look at what that boy is wearing it's funny' to bad taste JRPG lol.

 

[CalamityPixel]

I wonder if the player insults will change.

 

[NoKisum]

So wait, that wasn't Wendy in the trailer? Is this the trade off for wanting a playable female character? Because I hope not, I enjoy hearing Wendy call Cartman out on his bullshit.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Niiiiiice.

But what will they call her?

Link?

That's absolutely Wendy

Nah pretty sure that's Wendy, they wouldn't choose a girl new kid in the trailer to look JUST like the more well known girl in the show

 

[Trojita]

Awesome

 

[Ultimadrago]

First post was clearly a joke.

Yeah, I feel the dogpile was a little undeserved when it was really tongue-in-cheek. Alas, tensions are high right now.

to be fair, it is text.

 

[Prevolition]

Get rekt Nintendo.

I'm getting so embarrassed of this community. Moreso with first post fever and thread derailment and ice cold savage reking.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Get rekt Nintendo.

Every thread this happens. The stick if truth is an RPG where you play the new kid, not a character established for already 15+ years

 

[Admiral Woofington]

First post probably wants to add that it was sarcasm to the first post itself unless he wants to keep constantly quoted and derails the thread any further

 

[Archtreyz]

I'm honestly glad the first one didn't let you play as a girl because I feel like the anal probing stuff would have made some people uncomfortable. I know it's a weird opinion to have, but with the guys it was funny. With a girl, I feel a lot more wouldn't see it that way.

 

[Slashlen]

I played as a Jew in the first one and it was great, so definitely going with a girl for this.

 

[73V3N]

Get rekt Nintendo.

Just to confirm tho, that's Wendy on the pic, isn't it?

Not accepted, must be Female Cartman, Kenny, Stan and Kyle.

You might want to check out Stick of Truth.

 

[NHarmonic.]

Lol a lot of quick edits up there.


This is great btw, guess ubisoft didn't have world-ending problems trying to figure out what would the male characters do if your playable character was female

 

[Admiral Woofington]

They didn't say the girl in the trailer was the new kid and they used the male kid for the marketing or the gameplay in the conference, so yeah the likelyhood that's Wendy is like 95%

 

[Oregano]

Yeah good idea. Gone ahead and done that.

Going to echo what others have said in here and add that's good that they went the extra mile to change dialogue/writing rather than making it generic.

I get the feeling that unlike most companies who would just see it as a burden, Matt and Trey and co are relishing the opportunity to fit more jokes in.

I wouldn't expect a lot of changes to dialogue, just here and there. For stick of truth they called you a generic insult "douchebag" and "the new kid" to avoid having to re-record a bunch of dialogue.

In here they'll likely say how they didn't realize you were a girl the whole time (assuming it's canon it's the new kid from the previous game no matter what), cartman might make a joke here and there but chances are they'll call you super douchebag or some variation of that.

You also play as a new kid in every new main Zelda tho

 

[BatDan]

Hm, kind of strange since I believe they said the player character is the same as the one from Stick of Truth. Then again knowing South Park's loose & fast continuity, they probably forgot all about him.

 

[NoKisum]

Ah, I'm cool with this decision then.

This is great btw, guess ubisoft didn't have world-ending problems trying to figure out what would the male characters do if your playable character was female

That's because like with the show, animating a female character won't double the budget.

 

[Seibmoz]

Can someone confirm that if I pre order this right now on Xbox I can play the remaster of stick of truth right now. I missed it and was waiting for the remaster.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Seems Ubisoft is continuing to provide some more player character options after their lambasted reason for not having female avatars in AC: Unity. Ubisoft seems to realize people care about and are receptive to this.

Get rekt Nintendo.

EDIT: This was a badly thought out sarcastic joke.

Nintendo's been giving bad responses to this subject for a long time though, not just recently. This jab would be more or less deserved if it were serious, if only because of how out-of-touch they make themselves look.

This is probably more a Matt and Trey decision. Ubisoft are just giving the cash. My two cents anyway.

game needs more mintberry crunch.

They'll likely just break the 4th wall, make a joke and move on. I don't see them coming up with a perfect excuse for it. Seems like a hassle.

Digital preorders yes.

 

[kamineko]

Sounds good!

 

[Havel]

The way Cartman responds will be hilarious, no doubt.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Following Unity, they made AC: Syndicate that had two leads, one a woman.

It could be a result of the show's creators, but Ubisoft is making a more concerted effort.
