Not actually that important
Will buy day1 for £24, hopefully the retail version will have steamworks as well
The title font is indeed terrible
I'll find it for 40-45 before release, especially since it's steamworks. That's 1 beauty of PC gaming.

no online co op?
bah
bah
Looks just like the show? Story written by Matt and Trey? Full voice by Matt and Trey?
Assuming it has good gameplay and runs well.. easily worth the price of entry!

All video games should be free!
Exactly.

Steam.
Or wait half a year to get it off XBLA/PSN for day one retail price.
My only worries are over length and branching quests, trying to write comedy in someone else's style is difficult but there's no way, Matt and Trey would be able to spend the time writing a whole RPG.

I think some of you are dead wrong about this. I expect this game to sell a lot due to the IP. I also think it's going to be an awesome, refreshing game. Hopefully it is successful and it leads to some more lighthearted/humorous games. We need more God Hands and TimeSplitters.
But...it looks exactly like the show...
Maybe I was wrong 
Can usually get a lot of console games for $45 from newegg with preordering

But that would be nothing like the show, what's the point then....

yes, i watch the show.....or used to
I'm more interested in it being a good game than how much it follows the shows design. It still would be south park if it was in 3d and IMO a lot more potential of it being a better game.

The only way I see this being good is if it has a metric shitton of voice acting.
Alpha Protocol wasn't filled with bugs, it was just janky, and people says that Dungeon Siege 3 is pretty much bug free.
So yeah, it will not be "filled with bugs".
New Vegas and AP on PS3 were really bad.
They're using their own engine for this, which worked out quite well for Dungeon Siege 3. This game is also not supposed to be anywhere near the scope of something like FO:NV, so there's a significant reduction in the amount of variables that they need to squash.
You mean based on the track record of ALL complex CRPGs? Because there is no such thing as a complex RPG without bugs. Fallout 1 & 2 had game ruining bugs over 12 years before New Vegas came around and it's not like Bethesda's games are free of them either.
That said, this probably won't be nearly as complex as New Vegas + they aren't using Bethesda's Shittiest Game Engine In The World™, so I wouldn't worry about too many bugs.
It looks properly good in stills, but I really want the series HD quality in motion as well.
Plus this is an RPG. God knows what that means.
Other than that, very much hyped for this little game. Could be an awesome sleeper hit, even though the latest South Park games have been horrible.

Wait, it says in the OP that it comes out 5/5/2012, which is like, today. So WTF? It's out?!?
That was an unannounced Obsidian project.
THQ is circling the drain combined with Microsoft's cancelling of Obsidian's major project.

so many wtf comments
yo where's the SSAO brahs, why aren't there so many graphics in this one

THQ stopped putting developer names on boxes around the start of last year.
Presumably they didn't want people to notice that they closed half of their studios after releasing their games.
