The best part is that if you play on "black" difficulty, it doesn't actually make the game harder at all in any way. But because they told you it makes things harder, many people believed that it did, even if they played on "easy" at first. Talk about amazing social commentary about how being told you're a victim makes you feel like one even when you aren't.
it's amazing how it didn't affect difficulty AT ALL and people were bitching and crying just like they do in real life about imaginary problems and the ones they are responsible for
What's funny is that Morgan Freeman is not only a boss here as well, but the hardest one, but you can bypass him if you are on the highest difficulty 😂

Just say it's because of the woke brigade and the easily-offended morons we're currently fighting against in real life and on social media and just fucking move on.
That's cuz Ubisoft didn't make the game, Trey Parker and Matt Stone did. And since Trey and Matt do whatever they want without caring about the higher-ups or public reception, we got this hilarious joke, and many others like it.
I surely wonder “””why””” one of those writers and his shabbos can get away with whatever they want. Like the guy who did the borat movies. Hmmmmm surely activates my kosher almonds
@@Jarekx2007 They bought it up when THQ went under to reap the money. I'm sure the game would have release no matter what and by the time Ubi got involved, it was basically already done.
At least they aren't going to make the Re-Re-Re-Release of South Park: The Stick of Truth, where the word "Jew" is replaced by "People with Religious Differences," the word "Gay" is now replaced by the word "Hippie," and the guns have been replaced with walkie-talkies. But it's 2024, so you know anything can happen. :)
It's South Park, if they did that, they would do it as a joke exactly to piss off your ilk. Take off the fucking tinfoil hat, try actually looking out of your shuttered windows and realize the world has not burnt down and is not being controlled by jewish trans lizard aliens from the middle east, I'm sure it'll improve your general perception of life.
Ironically, having a black character in Fractured But Whole made the game easier because you had access to a surprising powerful artifact from Morgan Freeman in the 3rd Act as well as unique dialogue and situations because of your skin colour. The only ‘difficulty’ aspect was that you could technically fight cops at the beginning of the game, which isn’t recommended unless you’re trying to do a challenge, and the fight with the Eldritch monstrosity as if your character gets eaten, it heals it.
This is when the two head creators of South Park say if you dont make it how we want it. You won't be releasing it. Don't give Ubisoft a w. Give Matt and Trey a w
@@fioredeutchmark Peak gaming ended when people stop going outside and stayed inside to play with a machine. There's a reason why gamers need those thick padded recliners.
I might be wrong but wasn’t Fractured But Whole (and I think this might have been the same case for Stick of Truth) only made (or published) by Ubisoft because they bought the studio that was making the two games. I think the reason why we didn’t get a third game in a similar RPG style was because Ubisoft (or it might have been some other factor) where hard to work with, which is why they went to THQ to make Snow Day.
Obsidian made Stick of Truth and Ubisoft made Fractured But Whole but published both. The creators of South Part said RPGs are harder to make so they wanted to do a more simple game. They wrote and directed both games.
The first game (Stick of Truth) was developed by Obsidian and supposed to be published by THQ (not the current THQ Nordic, the original one). When THQ went bankrupt, Ubisoft bought some of its IPs, including the South Park game that was in development. Ubisoft didn't buy the studio itself, just the IP. Obsidian got to finish the game and Ubisoft published it. The second game (Fractured but whole) is the one that was completely made by one of Ubisoft's studio (Ubisoft San Fransisco). The third game (Snow Day!) was part of a bigger deal between the South Park authors and ViacomCBS (Paramount). I don't personally know why THQ Nordic was chosen this time to be the publisher, instead of Ubisoft.
@@GoGicz South Park Digital Studio was involved in all the games, including "Snow Day!". They are mostly on the writing part though, for the game design part, the lead designers for each game were from their respective development studio.
Ok, so the thing why the South Park games were so completely different from Ubisoft‘s games nowdays is because the creators of South Park (Matt & Trey) worked directly with Ubisoft and basically had most control over the game to keep it true to the show as much as possible. So what you see here is Matt & Trey‘s humor worked with the forces of Ubisoft to be made real. Fractured but Whole was released in 2017, the same year as AC Odyssey which was essentially the first game that planted the seeds of Ubisoft’s lazy open world blueprint and that’s where they probably quit working together with Matt and Trey and that’s why Snow Day got a new developer, Question and THQ Nordic. So yeah, these games were the product of Matt & Trey‘s direction and Ubisoft simply helping them to actually make their ideas a reality.
I still play through these two games about every year or so. It's rare to have comedy in a video game, and Parker and Stone came out swinging and raised the bar to an insane degree.
Has everyone forgotten that a few years ago there was a woke campaign against Ubisoft's "toxic work environment", because some guys were making sexist jokes at the Paris office? Until then they were the most unwoke large games company.
@@wisdomfox857 I don't think anyone could realistically describe anything that involves South Park as 'woke.' Insulting? Yes, 'Woke?' No. They're not trying to change society, they're mocking it.
@@st.haborym The joke is that being black is more difficult, literally. It's a reference to the generational wealth gap, and racism altogether. There's literally a grand wizard joke about cartman. They're not subtle, you're just stupid.
the abortion minigame in the 1st was censored and cut out of the digital version. also the germans forced the 'notsee' segments to be removed from all the eu released copies
@@scottkrafft6830 It's not that but because that imagery is illegal to be used in Germany outside of artistic pieces. Movies, paintings, TV-shows etc. are all considered as art under the law, but video games are not. It's basically a "loop hole". Also, not forgetting about that part of the past is one of the core principles of modern German society and arguably the most elaborated topic in the entire German school curriculum. Pretty sure we had more lessons on everything related to WW2 in history, sociology, geography and even religion in just our high school years than we had about probability stuff in math across all 12 years of school
@@grizzofeu653 I think the scenes depicting any Nazi imagery were censored in Germany, because German law only allows those images in "artistic works" such as movies, plays, books or TV-shows and doesn't actually recognize video games as art by any definition.
@@grizzofeu653 I'm Finnish too and I had 2 mini games (abortion one and the one in the space ship) censored in my copy of The Stick of Truth. I hated it because it really made it hard for me to finish the game on my first playthrough lol.
Only the console version was censored(the alien sodomy, the abortion scenes) in the EU(and in Germany the swastikas were censored too). And also the Australian version was censored the same
It wasnt even that long ago really. That game came out in the mid 2010s. Like only 10 years ago. Which might seem like a long time in your 20s but in company time thats nothing.
@@wisdomfox857 "Woke" has no meaningful definition. It was pushed - and made convoluted so people as moronic as you could push any given definition of it, what you think "woke" is depends on what you don't like. Pretty telling that you consider "knowing that racism exists"(Which is what the joke amounts to btw, it's not exactly a revolutionary idea.) is on your "bad ideas" list.
It was made by Obsidian, hence the good writing. Ubi was just the publisher. Ubi's good writers are probably held hostage somewhere on the back of the moon after AC2 and FC3 lol
Ubisoft only published it, the game was made by Obsidian, the creators of KoTOR2, Fallout NV, NVN2 and Aplha Protocol. WHICH ONLY MAKES IT GO HARDER WOOOOWWW
Correction Obsidian Entertainment made this game, same people who made Outerworlds and the only good Fallout game, New Vegas. Ubisoft just Published it.
This is an Obsidian game, Ubisoft just published it. However, they did develop the sequel, which was just as hilarious. Thank Matt and Trey for being directly involved. That's why they're so faithful to the show.
Being an older gamer - I recall this time, I think its like they maxxed on that side of spectrum back then - no where to go after this and they HAD to make games bad so people would want that level again - like how Coke came out with New Coke to make people want Coke Classic again
Ah I remember this series. Funny thing is that this is the sequel. The first game was made by Obsidian which was very well received and then the creators decided to go with Ubisoft. So basically another developer did all the hard work of laying down the initial groundwork of designing the game and the world and Ubisoft just expanded on that concept. I have heard the sequel wasn't quite as good as the first one but still pretty good. Rather surprised you are not aware of this game.
The funny thing is that this game allowed you to also customize your character with shit like pronouns and sexuality and all that too, but the GENIUS of it all is that it was done through the joking lens of south park so nobody gave a shit and it didnt feel hamfisted.

That's cuz Ubisoft didn't make the game, Trey Parker and Matt Stone did. And since Trey and Matt do whatever they want without caring about the higher-ups or public reception, we got this hilarious joke, and many others like it.
Modern Ubisoft would have shelved it.

Must be why it's good. And why even RPG enthusiasts say it's pretty good, even though it's relatively simple.
"The guy who made Fallout worked on SP turn based game"
The first Fallout game (the one he made) was _also_ single player turn based. So...?
Losing old ubisoft is like losing one of your best friends
There's also an achievement called "The Token Experience" for playing as a black character (Hard Mode) for most of the game.
At least they aren't going to make the Re-Re-Re-Release of South Park: The Stick of Truth, where the word "Jew" is replaced by "People with Religious Differences," the word "Gay" is now replaced by the word "Hippie," and the guns have been replaced with walkie-talkies.
But it's 2024, so you know anything can happen. :)
It's South Park, if they did that, they would do it as a joke exactly to piss off your ilk.
Take off the fucking tinfoil hat, try actually looking out of your shuttered windows and realize the world has not burnt down and is not being controlled by jewish trans lizard aliens from the middle east, I'm sure it'll improve your general perception of life.
""Gay" is now replaced by the word "Hippie."" As a child of the sixties, they better not! I'm proud of my Hippie heritage!
E.T. Special Edition reference? Wow! 😲
You typed the word gay twice.
Ironically, having a black character in Fractured But Whole made the game easier because you had access to a surprising powerful artifact from Morgan Freeman in the 3rd Act as well as unique dialogue and situations because of your skin colour.
The only ‘difficulty’ aspect was that you could technically fight cops at the beginning of the game, which isn’t recommended unless you’re trying to do a challenge, and the fight with the Eldritch monstrosity as if your character gets eaten, it heals it.
When Ubisoft wasn't DEI-fied.
This is when the two head creators of South Park say if you dont make it how we want it. You won't be releasing it.
Don't give Ubisoft a w. Give Matt and Trey a w

I'd choose it every time.
The only reason why Ubisoft allowed this. Is because NOBODY says no to Matt and Trey.
Why wouldn't they allow it?
And because they weren't involved in creating the game in the first place.

I might be wrong but wasn’t Fractured But Whole (and I think this might have been the same case for Stick of Truth) only made (or published) by Ubisoft because they bought the studio that was making the two games. I think the reason why we didn’t get a third game in a similar RPG style was because Ubisoft (or it might have been some other factor) where hard to work with, which is why they went to THQ to make Snow Day.
Which is f'n awful trying to play solo
Obsidian made Stick of Truth and Ubisoft made Fractured But Whole but published both. The creators of South Part said RPGs are harder to make so they wanted to do a more simple game. They wrote and directed both games.
The first game (Stick of Truth) was developed by Obsidian and supposed to be published by THQ (not the current THQ Nordic, the original one). When THQ went bankrupt, Ubisoft bought some of its IPs, including the South Park game that was in development. Ubisoft didn't buy the studio itself, just the IP. Obsidian got to finish the game and Ubisoft published it.
The second game (Fractured but whole) is the one that was completely made by one of Ubisoft's studio (Ubisoft San Fransisco).
The third game (Snow Day!) was part of a bigger deal between the South Park authors and ViacomCBS (Paramount). I don't personally know why THQ Nordic was chosen this time to be the publisher, instead of Ubisoft.
@@bloopy2042 the fractured but whole was also made by south park digital studio too not just entirely by ubisoft..
@@GoGicz South Park Digital Studio was involved in all the games, including "Snow Day!". They are mostly on the writing part though, for the game design part, the lead designers for each game were from their respective development studio.
Ok, so the thing why the South Park games were so completely different from Ubisoft‘s games nowdays is because the creators of South Park (Matt & Trey) worked directly with Ubisoft and basically had most control over the game to keep it true to the show as much as possible. So what you see here is Matt & Trey‘s humor worked with the forces of Ubisoft to be made real.
Fractured but Whole was released in 2017, the same year as AC Odyssey which was essentially the first game that planted the seeds of Ubisoft’s lazy open world blueprint and that’s where they probably quit working together with Matt and Trey and that’s why Snow Day got a new developer, Question and THQ Nordic.
So yeah, these games were the product of Matt & Trey‘s direction and Ubisoft simply helping them to actually make their ideas a reality.
I still play through these two games about every year or so. It's rare to have comedy in a video game, and Parker and Stone came out swinging and raised the bar to an insane degree.
This is what art is supposed to be. Not whatever tf gaming studios and Hollywood is doing these days
Tim Cain worked on it too
Has everyone forgotten that a few years ago there was a woke campaign against Ubisoft's "toxic work environment", because some guys were making sexist jokes at the Paris office? Until then they were the most unwoke large games company.
You guys are missing something this is woke
@@wisdomfox857 No?
@@wisdomfox857 I don't think anyone could realistically describe anything that involves South Park as 'woke.' Insulting? Yes, 'Woke?' No. They're not trying to change society, they're mocking it.

@@st.haborym The joke is that being black is more difficult, literally. It's a reference to the generational wealth gap, and racism altogether. There's literally a grand wizard joke about cartman. They're not subtle, you're just stupid.

Just finished replaying this for the first time in 7 years. Forgot how good it was and forgot it was Ubi as well. How the mighty have fallen.
the abortion minigame in the 1st was censored and cut out of the digital version. also the germans forced the 'notsee' segments to be removed from all the eu released copies
The fact that they did still shows they're insecure about their past. If they truly forgotten about it they wouldn't care
@@scottkrafft6830 It's not that but because that imagery is illegal to be used in Germany outside of artistic pieces. Movies, paintings, TV-shows etc. are all considered as art under the law, but video games are not. It's basically a "loop hole".
Also, not forgetting about that part of the past is one of the core principles of modern German society and arguably the most elaborated topic in the entire German school curriculum. Pretty sure we had more lessons on everything related to WW2 in history, sociology, geography and even religion in just our high school years than we had about probability stuff in math across all 12 years of school
@@scottkrafft6830 it wasn't the remaster, it was within weeks of it first being released

@@grizzofeu653 I think the scenes depicting any Nazi imagery were censored in Germany, because German law only allows those images in "artistic works" such as movies, plays, books or TV-shows and doesn't actually recognize video games as art by any definition.

Only the console version was censored(the alien sodomy, the abortion scenes) in the EU(and in Germany the swastikas were censored too). And also the Australian version was censored the same
These games were amazing. Basically an IP translated in the best way possible into videogames. I really want a sequel.

This is an Obsidian game, Ubisoft just published it. However, they did develop the sequel, which was just as hilarious. Thank Matt and Trey for being directly involved. That's why they're so faithful to the show.
Being an older gamer - I recall this time, I think its like they maxxed on that side of spectrum back then - no where to go after this and they HAD to make games bad so people would want that level again - like how Coke came out with New Coke to make people want Coke Classic again
I’m kind of shocked that Asmon missed out on these games. I love both of them, hope the series continues~
ubisoft really didn't even give a crap then and made this
Fun fact: Trey parker and Matt stone Watched Old Pewdiepie videos during creation of Fractured but whole to determine what was funny and what not
"The stick of true" is a masterpiece...
Ah I remember this series. Funny thing is that this is the sequel. The first game was made by Obsidian which was very well received and then the creators decided to go with Ubisoft. So basically another developer did all the hard work of laying down the initial groundwork of designing the game and the world and Ubisoft just expanded on that concept. I have heard the sequel wasn't quite as good as the first one but still pretty good. Rather surprised you are not aware of this game.
If you choose the hardest difficulty you get the race card to use.
the game was made by obsidian, only published by ubisoft.
Obisidan are one of the best RPGs developers out there.
