Fun fact: Cartman's notebook has a Christmas wish list on it. In 2016, one of the items on that list was the PS4. Now it says GS4 there.

Re: The Fractured But Whole general discussion
All in all, a very worthy sequel to Stick of Truth.

Also Mr. Garrison and Donald Trump are two SEPARATE people with completely different career backgrounds.

Re: The Fractured But Whole general discussion
The story matched SoT in general tone, though it never had anything quite as consistently funny as the Canadian section or as childlike as the Girls Makeover section. Instead, the game had healthier, better sidequests for many characters. Wendy, Craig, Tweek, and Kyle had sidequests I really adored. The main quest was more compelling and featured more plot twists there. Combat wise there is more depth and way more replayability inherent in the design. Is the game necessarily harder? I'd say no, not really. You get swamped with options on the fourth day.
Individual wise, the real winners are Craig, Scott, and Wendy. Craig seems to have a metric ton of dialogue depending on who is selected and is one of the earliest characters you can pick. Between his in-battle dialogue depending on who else is there, his sidequests with and without Tweek, and his simple yet effective combat style, he was a real winner.
Wendy found a consistent home in my team. Excellent in all offensive phases, more upbeat and positive dialogue, and fun story placement. Scott has...character, actually? And he manages to be charming. This isn't to say the other characters are bad, of course, as every character has something fun and interesting to say and every character has a role. Some are more difficult to slot in depending on team makeup, but I never felt like I had a wasted slot.
In terms of missed opportunities, I feel like there is a lot of potential missed on Day 3 and Day 4 based on who you can select. The initial group you have access to are fleshed out mission wise, but the second batch, not so much. There are characters and cliques I thought would play bigger roles that didn't. DLC can play a big role in this- I am excited to see what they have in the pipeline. We know a few things, of course. If there is more past that then I hope to see some of those characters and cliques.
Overall, I liked this more Stick of Truth. Stick of Truth lacked replayability where I think this one has considerably more. The embrace of the DLC model means that Fractured But Whole could be considerably added onto without harming the base game, which can only bode well.
Awesome.

Wait, which side quests did he have that didn't involve Tweek?ShaneHaughey wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2017 9:39 pmIndividual wise, the real winners are Craig, Scott, and Wendy.

Scott may very well be the breakout character of this game.ShaneHaughey wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2017 9:39 pmScott has...character, actually? And he manages to be charming.

Re: The Fractured But Whole general discussion
I don't want to reveal the entire thing because I want people to experience the more charming elements of the game for themselves, but Craig's very first quest. While you could say it involves Tweek on the fringe, it doesn't involve Tweek, and does a good job of placing down who Craig is.nall wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2017 6:02 amWait, which side quests did he have that didn't involve Tweek?ShaneHaughey wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2017 9:39 pmIndividual wise, the real winners are Craig, Scott, and Wendy.

As a super major Stan fan, I was a little let down that past night two's mission he didn't receive much. You kinda do the Stan-centric side-quest before you meet him. As a hero, Toolshed is okay but didn't crack my top tier team much. It is kind of strange, actually- Kenny/Mysterion, Stan/Toolshed, and Kyle/Human Kite all seem relatively underdeveloped in the game compared to Scott and Craig. Is this a bad thing? Probably not since we know who the big boys are well enough.
The final main quest is bananas by the way. The most bananas thing in the whole gaming series.
Post-game content is a little weak, but having good post-game content is somewhat rare and not an expectation.
