Shitting on your original fans is such a Bioware thing too. Guess Obsidian is full of pale basement virgins then? Who else could have coded NWN2?

Shots fired.
That would have been neat.
The coon and mysterion will probably have cameos though, maybe even companions.

Nerds. Lacking a sense of humour since the creation of the internet.
What's funny is that he goes from that, to later throwing an "us gamers" type comment in the whole "mash a button and something funny happens" joke. Between that and his inability to control what his eyeballs were pointed at it was just kind of an uncomfortable video all around.

Brother Shamus weaves a good tale, my interest is peaked.
You could see the shame in his eyes and hear him struggle to say it at first though. Maybe it's closer to the truth for him than he wanted it to be
They're doing interviews about a South Park game. They're probably going to try to be funny in them.
He does have a pretty magnificent beard. Best I've seen since Robin Willaims' (RIP).
Also, I do like what I hear about this game, though more interested for the first video footage they'll release.
Nice try, then. Backfired at their game and the fanbase they try to reach.
You can't really blame him. I'm playing through Dungeon Siege 3 now, since I got it for 5 bucks on the Amazon digital sale thing. I have to say, after being the lead systems designer for Alpha Protocol and Dungeon Siege 3, he probably has permanent brain damage or something. I don't even think he's a bad designer or anything, but working on two poorly received games in a row probably isn't the best thing to experience.
I'm sure it was tongue in cheek. Do you really think that someone who works at Obsidian of all places actually believes that?
Honestly, I was more offended by the state that NWN2 was in when I installed the retail version at release. The South Park RPG sounds interesting though. I definitely approve of a lot of the design ideas they're expressing for the game, even though I don't care about the show at all. I just hope it turns out to be a cool project for Obsidian and not another backfire.

Especially not when the systems in AP were actually so freaking good. I only appreciated how well designed the perks and character-system are after my fourth or fifth time through the game with a lot of different play-style choices.
I wasn't upset by it, I recognized it as a poor attempt at a joke. If anything it made me glad that matt and trey are doing the writing for this game. Obsidian has great writers for serious stuff, but I don't think raw satire and humor is their best kind of writing.
Truth. It took over a year of patches just to get the game to run on Low on my laptop at the time.

Rather than fixating on his bad joke, I say we turn this thread into a feverish masturbation session where we speculate on how revolutionary this game will be and how many GOTY awards it will win from basically zero information. Or is that only done with PS3 exclusives?
Because South Park is a big popular brand franchise, the creators are big RPG fans, and Obsidian is a RPG developer? Unless your question was supposed to mean something different!

I believe a more accurate translation would be 'I don't like South Park, why does this thing that I have no interest in exist?'.
I already wonder what kind of bugs you can shove into a 2D game.
I'm pretty surprised at how excited I am for this. I've been wanting to play an RPG again for a while but haven't been able to get into any. This will have the fun combat of Paper Mario and all the South Park trappings to make it stand out and be really entertaining. Also coming from as quality a developer as Obsidian helps too
it accidentally turns polygonal and becomes a sequel to the n64 game
Dungeon Siege 3 is pretty much bug free, very stable, and feels very optimized. Too bad the game is such a bore though.

5th class is best class.
I'm of the opposite opinion. Wasn't really interested until I found out it was the kids playing pretend. Such an awesome premise, can't wait.

Not actually that important
15 hours long SP episode for $60? I'm down
God I wish they'd make a second SP movie

It's a bad joke. I am interested in this game since I like Obsidian, that's why I am a bit "surprised" why he said that.

Anyone who is offended by 'pale basement virgin' is not ready to play a South Park game.

Looks very good so far, this may just be the first turn-based RPG that I will play through this gen.

I like to watch South Park, but I can't say that it's something I'd like to play. I love these kind o' games too, turn-based 2D is what I grew up with and all but man ... Just not boarding the hype train on a South Park game.

You've got to be kidding me. That is hilarious.
Yeah the guy said if you have 1 HP you'll be pretty powerful but of course you play with fire there, especially since there's only 2 party members.
Alpha Protocol.
