South Park: The Fractured but Whole's difficulty slider changes the colour of your skin

Ubisoft's comedy RPG South Park: The Fractured but Whole features various levels of difficulty, from easy to very difficult, much like most games. What's different though is the difficulty affects the colour of your character's skin.

And this ladies and gentlemen is why video games, like every other type of media is considered art.

Only South Park could get away with this...

Comedy genius at its best.

darthv722436d ago

That is a very humorous approach to difficulty settings.

PapaBop2435d ago

Funnily enough, any other game did it, I'd probably be annoyed at least but it just wouldn't be South Park without something as absurd as this.

First, I think it's a very South Park element and encourages people to play outside of their usual designs.

Second, it really hinges on how it changes the gameplay and interaction with others. It should be more than the stereotypical police and Cartman.

Two, while it doesn't change the difficulty of the game, it seems each battle has its own difficulty setting where you can choose how difficult each battle is before you start.

First, second, and two? I know the South Park RPGs aren't overly heavy on numbers, but you should probably stick to a ghostly shade of white :p

I'd love to play as a "Brotha", but my predominately Irish/Swedish heritage is going to give me too much of a pale advantage. *sigh*

Christopher2435d ago

Just hope I don't ever make it to my 3th point.

Brain fart while moderating.

He might be related to Papabob who came up with "funnily". 😁

So is this going to be another form of racism, get beat up more now that you are of color which makes the game harder? The first game was great, will be getting this one too.

We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.

They said awhile ago that Ubisoft holds contract rights to the main flagship South Park games. So like stick, fractured and phone destroyer.

Snow Day was handled by THQ and Question and is a random spinoff. Hopefully Ubisoft is cooking something.

anast42d ago

That's one reason to be hopeful, but Ubi is trending down too.

Loved the RPGs but never played the others. Have to track them down. Still not sure about Snow Day though.

The 7 Best South Park Games

The South Park series has somehow managed to stay relevant for over 25 years, but which are the best games based on the TV show?

cammers1995148d ago (Edited 148d ago )

The only two worth playing are Stick of truth and fractured but whole. The rest were garbage except snow day which I can't say anything about yet. But with that said, unlike stick and fractured which debuted as AAA full priced titles by ubisoft, snow day is a new developer and publisher and has a budget price at only $30 soooo

Best Superhero Video Games Available Right Now

From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
