Hail to the Spambots.
Well, Stick of Truth is now officially on my kill list. The game was a load of laughs, though honestly the most laughs I got was from burninating a rat with a fart-splosion. I'm a bad person.
In all honesty, while I do like a bit of South Park now and then, I got this game based on some Let's Plays I saw. The whole concept revolved around kiddies tearing around and LAPRing, which is something I've wanted to see in a damn video game for close to 20 years. Finally got to lead an seige on a damn school. Now we need an RTS version of this crap, and we'd be golden.
This is probably the best "entry level" RPG I've seen that didn't involve Mario, possibly even best ever. The only real complaints I have is that it's short and has some obvious missing elements (which is easily explained by the THQ bankruptcy fiasco), and the lack of a crafting system, It's really just a personal bugaboo, but the level of cleverness inherent to the little game going on could have been extended to some nifty craftables. They could be nasty weapons and horrible traps and toxins, basically what would happen if...
Oh hell, this shit is pretty much 4chan The Video Game anyway. The crafting thing is still pretty much something I'd want personally, but things are just fine, and don't need any more breaking.
Some of the combat mechanics are hilarious in and of themselves. You want to see your enemies under bleed and burning DoT effects, while also barfing their guts out as another DoT? In Stick of Truth, you can, and it's a viable strategy to the point where BOSSES are best put down this way, Let's see Final Fantasy do that, huh? They're all "Nope, Bosses are Immune To Everything, Screw You!" Here you can poison and burninate to your heart's content.
Next on the list is hopefully Borderlands the Pre-Sequel, Until then Legate Wulfe the Unhinged is going to got smack on Ash Spawn with sharp objects. GRARGH!
