╭₊˚ ๑︰Being a Youtuber who reports on South Park Superheroes

A/N: made a post about this the other day and can’t stop thinking about it. I just love the idea of making video essays about the superheroes while the city is destroyed everyday like it’s Gotham 

EDIT: this post is being turned into a SMAU that you can read here

- Being a university student in South Park, you’re simultaneously fighting Midterms and constant ridiculous levels of crime

- You grew up a few hours away from South Park so when you were offered a full ride to their university, of course you said yes 

- After threating to sue (and crying in the dean’s office for 3 hours), the university offered to help pay for housing in a more expensive building away from the center of the city 

- making youtube videos about the heroes and villains was a way to deal with the flabbergasting fact that a random dude in a tinfoil helmet is fighting a dude dressed like a raccoon on the daily 

- the account gains traction with other people in the town

- now you’re a niche internet microcelebrity all because you lost your house. yay...

- you were even able to interview Call Girl for a video! 

- after that, the coon started badgering you to make a video with him as well

- to which you said “no fuck off” 

- spoiler alert: he didn’t take that well

- next day you had a brick thrown through your window

- it was easy to figure out who it was 

- being neighbors with kenny, kyle, and stan gives you a place to go instead of waiting for the landlord to call someone to fix your window 

- you hadn’t known them too well before but when you said the coon had thrown a brick through your window, they both became insanely interested 

- turns out the don’t really like him either 

- “bro what do you mean your favorite is the human kite? a strong breeze would send him halfway across the city- he’s a flying squirrel made of plastic and delusion.” 

- definitely being a professor chaos stan. 

I kind of want to make this into a whole smau but idk if there would be pairings or anything, just silly interactions with an overarching storyline

These two have a very specific dynamic i really like idk how to explain it though

south park the fractured but whole

i played this game last week over the course of a few days and it has completely plagued my mind since so i just have to make a review for it.

overall 8.5/10. i would give it a 9 if a few things were different/added which i will indulge in below. but i definitely would recommend this game to anybody who watches the show. or even if you don’t watch the show. maybe you wont get every reference or understand every character but its still a fun play nonetheless and will definitely have you laughing the whole time. and this is coming from someone who has probably only seen 10 episodes of south park in their entire life.

if yall have any recommendations for games similar that you think i would like please let me know. also i never played stick of truth, i just played this because it was on gamepass but if anyone wants to slide me $30 so i can play stick of truth it would be greatly appreciated 😁

full review + spoilers below

like i said, i am not a south park super fan or aficionado or anything like that. i’ve seen a handful of episodes and i think the show is quite funny. i’d watch more of it if i could but i cancelled my hbo account so what can you do

warning you now, if you do NOT like south park and you do NOT like the humor (i don’t blame you, it’s not for everyone and i’ve met people who are avid haters of the show) then please do not continue reading. and honestly why did you even read this far? kidding. but fr though, don’t come at me for liking it (people have done that to me so i’m just trying to cover all my bases here).

now into the actual game.

before getting into the gameplay, i am so upset that i only just today realized (a week after playing) that the title can be read as ‘the fractured butthole’. HOW DID I NOT CATCH THAT 😭

also, this game is so fucking funny. south park in general is funny but something about actually immersing yourself into the little paper world just makes everything so much funnier. whether it’s the mission you have to do, the dialogue in the cut scenes, and even the dialogue during battles is funny as hell. all day every day i keep thinking of tweek saying “you go girlfriend” and wendy saying “tweek, don’t do that” 😭😭

okay now to the actual gameplay.

for the record, before this i did NOT like turn based combat. like if i wanted to wait my turn i would go play with pokémon cards or something. but surprisingly, i really liked it in this game. i think its just the way that it is handled made me like it. if everything were serious and nobody was talking or whatever then it would be awkward, annoying, and boring. but because of the fact that technically everyone is just playing make believe (ig except for some parts but we will get to that later), it actually makes sense for everyone to take turns and the mechanics for it weren’t ass so i was able to get the hang of it fast and have a lot of fun with it. and like i mentioned before the combat dialogue is so funny it’s hard to have any complaints about it (even if it does repeat).

outside of combat i do like the mechanics of exploring the world and doing random side missions and stuff like finding the cats and whatnot (whoever drew that yaoi, we need to have a lil chat). i like games where the world is big enough that you can explore but also where the world is contained enough that it’s not overwhelming. games like breath of the wild, skyrim, and assassins creed piss me off. don’t get me wrong, i love all those games but the fact that the world is fucking huge is annoying. i’m playing assassins creed odyssey right now and it’s annoying as fuck to go from fucking attika to korinthia to mykonos to makedonia then back to damn attika over and over and i hate the ship mechanics. even with fast travel its annoying. so i really like exploring the south park world because its just a small town. so while there are nooks and crannies everywhere to collect materials and whatnot, its not to the point where you want to stop playing because you had to go to one end of the map for one mission and the next mission requires you to go all the way back where you came from.

now to the plot

it’s so silly. i love it.

honestly i couldn’t even tell you what it was. at the end of the day, it’s not a game where the plot is meant to be dissected and be some super serious thing. so i wont worry too much about some finer details. i will just say at times i was confused with what was going on because im thinking all these powers and shit are fake right?? so like in the police station or in the church, those fight scenes should have played out completely differently. but again, it’s not that serious so this isn’t necessarily a complaint just really an observation.

while the plot was lost on me at times (again, not super serious), it was still fun every step of the way. from fighting wine drunk randy (i love that man that’s my husband) to butters dad to many assed cats, it was all fun. and when it turned out that the big bad villain was cartman all along (who is shocked…) i definitely laughed. i don’t remember what the hands name was but ykw, he was cool.

also just want to mention ik that we as the new kid don’t talk but i got pissed as hell at the part in the lab where i had to sacrifice one of my parents and then i come back and everyone is like “oh what took you so long?” “oh gee thanks new kid you started all this” “you took us too far to the future” blah blah blah ONE OF MY PARENTS JUST DIED??? like i really wish we could have stood up for ourselves and said that bc omg i needed them to be humbled so bad but anyway

one thing that did annoy me a bit as you progressed was the fact that it felt like at times you couldn’t take a single step without a raisin girl or a ninja or a 6th grader or a minion or a fucking crab wanting to fight you. i get it’s to keep things interesting so you’re not just wandering doing nothing and it can give you opportunities to level up and whatnot, but there were times when i was just trying to do a mission or something and get from point a to point b and now i have to juke out all these people who keep trying to fight me. so if i could change that maybe just make them appear slightly less frequently if that’s possible. but again this was only really a problem towards the end once you’ve already fought all these people at least once.

also i like the whole superhero ordeal. its funny seeing how much they all get into it. but its also cute bc i mean these are kids at the end of the day like aw my sons.

now the characters

i’ll try not to make this too lengthy since for one there’s a lot of characters and for two i’m sure you all already know all of these characters. so i’ll mainly focus only on those that were prevalent/playable in the story, so the kids who were superheroes pretty much. and i will touch on how i liked their character in terms of combat.

cartman is cartman. a natural born instigator. the whole “your dad fucked your mom” thing made me laugh every time he brought it up. again, his hand was cool. as for combat, the coon was definitely a favorite and i used him a lot before he was locked later in the story. also his combat dialogue is funny so i liked having him there. won’t get into the logistics of every move but overall definitely a good character for combat

we didn’t see much of stan in the beginning part of the game due to the opposing franchise thing. honestly, i don’t have an opinion of him really. in the game or show. i’m sure it’s just me but he definitely flies under the radar imo even though he’s a main character. still love him though. i do not like toolshed though. he has like one decent move but if you can’t get enemies positioned perfectly then i swear he’s just useless as fuck i’m sorry

kyle is definitely one of my favorites, probably more so in the show than the game. i say this because i do not like human kite. its cute when he does his laser and says “pew pew” but other than that it is just a waste of a character slot unless you need a healer.

one thing i like about kenny is that he’s an actual superhero just pretending to play pretend. and it’s always funny when him and tolkien are fighting together and tolkien says “damn mysterion, it’s like you trained for this shit or something” 😭 speaking of, i love mysterion. definitely a must have character for combat. and just cool overall. little ass kicking fourth grader iktr

oh god why are there so many characters let me try to speed this up

and speaking of speed we have kingie jimmy valmer. another favorite of mine. and i love fastpass. not a character i used often but when i did use him i found that he was actually pretty useful and funny as well

tolkien. i hate to say this about a brotha but good god i cannot stand tupperware. it’s like they picked their superheroes out of a hat and he got the last and lamest one. it’s also gross when he throws up and it fills the container on his head omfg ew. unless i had to use him i did not like to use him in combat. but as a character i do like him he’s nerdy and adorable.

tweek. a favorite of mine as well. i always used wonder tweek once i unlocked him. useful and also i just love tweek can you blame me. once i did the counseling thing i just bust out laughing whenever the yaoi anime thing would show up. “who wants to see some beautiful boys ultimate action” love you tweek but NOBODY😭

craig. another favorite. i’m a creek truther what can i say. definitely one of the funniest in terms of combat dialogue and also whenever he says ‘super craig’ so enthusiastically and goes right back to his regular monotone voice it kills me.

wendy. omg i love her that’s really bestie. especially because i made my character a girl so i really felt us vibing fr. my lineup was pretty much always call girl, wonder tweek, and mysterion but sometimes super craig and captain diabetes would be switched in there as well.

scott. now we ain’t gonna talk about the diabetic rage thing we just not 😭 but omg he’s such a sweetie. it was funny when he just straight up passed out, i was sitting there for a minute so lost. like i said he is a character that i used a lot, i love his special power where he eats the candy and becomes a little hulk, so cute

timmy is annoying bc who tf said you could just be that op

and last but not least butters. we stan butters here. i didn’t like using professor chaos much in combat but i do really like butters and i liked his dialogue in combat.

OKAY i’m sorry that that section was so long i forgot just how many playable characters there were and im honestly probably missing one or two.

last thing i will touch on is a couple things i think would have been interesting if they were added.

from what i’m aware, the gameplay is a bit different depending on the race and gender you choose. i chose to be a black girl and i thought it was funny how every time i said something my parents would act like its some big secret. like look at us we are very much black people 😭

and telling mr mackey that i am a girl was so funny, “oh we were all under the impression that…let me call your parents” “your son just told me he’s a girl. oh you knew that.” like what😭

on that note, i think it would have been interesting if somehow all the other kids found out about me being a girl. this wouldn’t impact the game much especially if it happens at the very end but i think it would have been funny to just see how everyone would have reacted to it. especially when they made comments here and there like “the new kid has the best secret identity, you can’t tell if he’s a boy or a girl” “you know new kid, there’s nothing wrong with being a feminine boy” “i thought feminine guys were only in the 80s but you are rocking it new kid”

with those comments i was under the guise that somehow they would find out and it could have just created a funny little moment to tie everything together.

but i did laugh when my parents revealed that my real power was just being an insta baddie 😭

which also let me say i don’t find fart jokes funny at all i think they’re very juvenile but honestly the whole ‘amazing butthole’ thing got some laughs out of me so i can’t complain on that.

also for the record the fight where we fight our past self is my favorite boss fight in the whole game.

okay this is much longer than i anticipated so if you read all the way down to here you’re a real one, have a treat 🍭

i hope at least someone likes these long media reviews because i like writing them and would like to write more or maybe even put them in short video form for tiktok or something (not any time soon).

love you all stay safe drink water and stan spontaneous bootay for clear skin
