The player takes control of "The New Kid", a custom character who moves to South Park with his parents after a mysterious event forced the family to move. The parents of the New Kid send him out to make friends, and soon afterward he meets [[Butters Stotch|Butters]], who introduces him to [[Eric Cartman|Cartman]]. Cartman's backyard castle, called "The Kingdom of Kupa Keep" (also referred to as "The [[Ku Klux Klan|KKK]]"), houses The Stick of Truth, which his army recovered from [[Kyle Broflovski|Kyle]]'s army two days prior. The New Kid is given the name "[[Douche#Slang uses|Douchebag]]" and selects a class (either "Fighter", "Mage", "Thief", or "[[Jew]]"). Soon after, the elves attack Kupa Keep. Cartman puts Clyde in charge of protecting the Stick of Truth during the attack. After defeating the elves, the humans find the Stick of Truth missing. Angry at Clyde's failure, Cartman banishes him from the group. In an effort to strike back and reclaim the Stick of Truth, Cartman orders "Douchebag" to alert the best human fighters [[Token Black|Token]], [[Tweek Tweak|Tweek]], and [[Craig Tucker|Craig]].


After successfully recruiting the three fighters, the humans learn the Stick of Truth is currently held by the elf bard Jimmy at the Inn of the Giggling Donkey. The humans attack the elves at the inn and successfully retrieve the Stick of Truth from Jimmy. That night, when the New Kid goes to sleep, he is abducted by aliens and given an anal probe. "Douchebag" manages to escape his cell on the ship and meets [[Randy Marsh]], who also was abducted. The New Kid helps Randy escape from the ship, and in return, Randy directs "Douchebag" to the top where the pilots are.

The next day, the events of the ship crash have been covered up by a secret government agency. Douchebag visits the human camp to find that the stick of truth was stolen at night. Cartman found a note where the stick laid claiming the stick of truth was in a desk at the elementary school. Cartman tasks Douchebag with recruiting more humans for the cause in order to defeat the elves at the school. Douchebag attempts to convince the goth kids to join the fight, but they will not join unless Douchebag proves he is a non conformist like them. The goth kids task Douchebag with posting a sign at the pta meeting in the community center with the writing "Fuck the Conformists". The pta are discussing the new taco bell that is opening at the south park mall, which is in actuality, a cover up story for the alien ship crash. Randy, who is present, tells Douchebag he will help posting the sign on the desk if Douchebag discovers what the new taco bell building actually is. Randy teaches Douchebag a new move to distract the guards at the crash site. Douchebag sneaks into the crash site and retrieves an audio recorder of the government organization speaking about the alien ship cover up. Douchebag gives the recorder to Randy, who in turn, posts the sign on the Pta table.

Douchebag fights his way to the 4th grade classroom where the note said the stick of truth was held. After defeating the elves, the humans learn that they did not actually steal the stick of truth, and both groups were set up. Clyde is then revealed to have stolen the stick of truth and has built up his own army after being expelled by Cartman from the humans. Both humans and elves band together to stop Clyde and retrieve the stick of truth, but their numbers are too low to defeat Clyde in his large fortress. Desperate, Douchebag is ordered to ask the girls for help in fighting against Clyde. Douchebag meets with the girls in their secret base, where they agree to fight for the boys if they help them determine if one of their friends had an abortion. To do this, they dress up Douchebag as a girl and take him to the abortion clinic. Douchebag is taken in to the doctors office for an abortion, but he instead sneaks out with doctors clothing and enters into the record room. Douchebag retrieves the records of all the abortions for the previous week, but things soon turn complicated when Randy shows up followed by men from the secret government organization. Randy and Douchebag escape from the room and go into a nearby operating room where they are disguised as a doctor and a patient. The agents enter the room but don't recognize Douchebag or Randy. Suspicious of them, they force Douchebag to perform an abortion on Randy to prove he actually is a doctor. Douchebag and Randy successfully pretend to have an abortion and they escape. Douchebag tries to escape the abortion clinic but he is prevented from doing so by a the nazi zombie version of Khloe Kardashian's aborted fetus. After defeating the fetus Douchebag escapes and returns with the abortion records to the girls. Unfortunately, the abortion records were kept by a french speaker and they are not in english. In order to translate the records, Douchebag is sent to canada. Douchebag successfully crosses the border into canada, and after completing a lengthy sidequest which includes learning a new fart move from Terrance and Phillip, returns with the document translated to the girls. The girls join the Elves and Men in fighting Clyde, and the entire group go to Clydes fortress to retrieve the stick of truth from him. Douchebag fights his way up the fortress to defeat Clyde and his friends. At the top, they find Mr. Slave and Randy. Mr Slave has a snuke inside of his anus which when detonated, would destroy all of south park. Douchebag is shrunken down in size to enter Mr Slaves anus and disarm the bomb. Douchebag is successful and the group move on to claim the stick of truth. When they reach the top, they are confronted by the government agents who reveal that Douchebag has an uncanny ability to make friends, having previously had billions on his facebook page. The chief government agent asks for Douchebag to leave the elves and humans and join him. Douchebag refuses, but princess Kenny goes with the agent because her parents were previously killed by both humans and elves. Douchebag then fights princess Kenny multiple times but cannot kill her due to his inability to die. Seeing no other way out, Cartman tells Douchebag to break the gentlemans rule of not farting on a persons balls. Douchebag does this and princess Kenny is finally defeated. The group retrieves the stick of truth but decide that its power is too great for any person to hold and throw it into Starks Pond. Bored of the game, the boys decide to play something else, they ask Douchebag what he wants to play. Douchebag , who hasn't said a word the entire game, speaks for the first time and tells the boys "screw you guys, i'm going home" to which Cartman replies "wow what a dick"

South Park: The Stick of Truth is a role-playing video game, based on the American animated television series South Park. The game was developed by Obsidian Entertainment in collaboration with South Park Digital Studios and published by Ubisoft. The game was expected to be released sometime in 2013, for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles, and Microsoft Windows,[5] but was postponed to 2014, due to the shutdown of original publisher THQ[6] and numerous delays.

Similar to their duties on the TV show, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone wrote the script for the game, oversaw the project, and provided the voices of the characters. Details about the game were revealed in early December 2011, in the Game Informer magazine South Park special, and its digital version.[7]

The Stick of Truth follows a number of video games based on the series, including three early titles South Park, South Park: Chef's Luv Shack and South Park Rally released between 1998 and 2000, and more recently South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play!, released in 2009, and South Park: Tenorman's Revenge, released in March 2012.[8]

Plot

The player takes control of "The New Kid", a custom character who moves to South Park with his parents after a mysterious event forced the family to move. The parents of the New Kid send him out to make friends, and soon afterward he meets Butters, who introduces him to Cartman. Cartman's backyard castle, called "The Kingdom of Kupa Keep" (also referred to as "The KKK"), houses The Stick of Truth, which his army recovered from Kyle's army two days prior. The New Kid is given the name "Douchebag" and selects a class (either "Fighter", "Mage", "Thief", or "Jew"). Soon after, the elves attack Kupa Keep. Cartman puts Clyde in charge of protecting the Stick of Truth during the attack. After defeating the elves, the humans find the Stick of Truth missing. Angry at Clyde's failure, Cartman banishes him from the group. In an effort to strike back and reclaim the Stick of Truth, Cartman orders "Douchebag" to alert the best human fighters Token, Tweek, and Craig.

After successfully recruiting the three fighters, the humans learn the Stick of Truth is currently held by the elf bard Jimmy at the Inn of the Giggling Donkey. The humans attack the elves at the inn and successfully retrieve the Stick of Truth from Jimmy. That night, when the New Kid goes to sleep, he is abducted by aliens and given an anal probe. "Douchebag" manages to escape his cell on the ship and meets Randy Marsh, who also was abducted. The New Kid helps Randy escape from the ship, and in return, Randy directs "Douchebag" to the top where the pilots are. The New Kid then defeats the alien pilots, causing the ship to crash down at the South Park Mall. "Douchebag" quickly escapes and makes it back home.

The next day, the events of the ship crash have been covered up by a secret government agency. The New Kid visits the Kupa Keep to find that the Stick of Truth was stolen at night. Cartman found a note where the Stick had laid, claiming the Stick of Truth was in a desk at the elementary school. Cartman tasks "Douchebag" with recruiting more humans for the cause in order to defeat the elves at the school. The New Kid attempts to convince the goth kids to join the fight, but they will not join unless the New Kid proves he is a "non-conformist" like them. The goth kids task the New Kid with posting a "Fuck the Conformists" sign at the PTA meeting in the community center. The PTA is hosting a meeting discussing the new Taco Bell that is opening at the South Park Mall, which is in actuality, a cover up story for the alien ship crash. Randy, who is present, tells "Douchebag" he will help post the sign on the desk if the New Kid discovers what the new Taco Bell building actually is. Randy teaches the New Kid a new move to distract the guards at the crash site.

The New Kid sneaks into the crash site and retrieves an audio recorder of the government organization speaking about the alien ship cover up. "Douchebag" then gives the recorder to Randy, who in turn, posts the sign on the PTA table. The goth kids see this and agree to join the human faction.

That night, Cartman leads the human group to attack the elves at the school. The New Kid fights his way to the fourth grade classroom where the note said the Stick of Truth was held. After defeating the elves, the humans learn that they did not actually steal the Stick of Truth, and both groups were set up. Clyde is then revealed to have stolen the Stick of Ttruth and has built up his own army after being expelled by Cartman from the "realms of time and space". Both humans and elves band together to stop Clyde and retrieve the Stick of Truth, but their numbers are too low to defeat Clyde in his large fortress. Desperate, the New Kid is ordered to ask the girls for help in fighting against Clyde.

The New Kid meets with the girls in their secret base, where they agree to fight for the boys if they help them determine if one of their friends had an abortion. To do this, "Douchebag" is dressed as a girl and taken to the abortion clinic. The New Kid is taken in to the doctors office for an abortion, but he instead sneaks out with doctors clothing and enters into the record room. "Douchebag" retrieves the records of all the abortions for the previous week, but things soon turn complicated when Randy shows up followed by men from the secret government organization. Randy and the New Kid escape from the room and go into a nearby operating room where they are disguised as a doctor and a patient. The agents enter the room but don't recognize the New Kid or Randy. Suspicious of them, they force "Douchebag" to perform an abortion on Randy to prove he actually is a doctor. The New Kid and Randy successfully pretend to have an abortion and they escape. The New Kid tries to escape the abortion clinic but he is prevented from doing so by a the Nazi Zombie version of Khloe Kardashian's aborted fetus. After defeating the fetus, "Douchebag" escapes and returns with the abortion records to the girls. Unfortunately, the abortion records were recorded in french. In order to translate the records, the New Kid is sent to Canada.

The New Kid successfully crosses the border into Canada, and after completing a lengthy side quest which includes learning a new fart move from Terrance and Phillip, returns with the document translated to the girls. The girls join the Elves and Men in fighting Clyde, and the entire group go to Clyde's fortress to retrieve the Stick of Truth from him. The New Kid fights his way up the fortress to defeat Clyde and his friends. At the top, they find Mr. Slave and Randy. Mr. Slave has a snuke inside of his anus which, when detonated, would destroy all of South Park. The New Kid is shrunken down in size to enter Mr. Slaves anus and disarm the bomb. The New Kid is successful and the group move on to claim the Stick of Truth.

When they reach the top, they are confronted by the government agents who reveal that the New Kid has an uncanny ability to make friends, having previously had billions on his facebook page. The chief government agent asks for the New Kid to leave the elves and humans and join him. The New Kid refuses, but Princess Kenny goes with the agent because her parents were previously killed by both humans and elves. The New Kid then fights Princess Kenny multiple times but cannot kill her due to her inability to die. Seeing no other way out, Cartman tells the New Kid to break the Gentleman's Rule of "Not Farting on a Person's Balls". The New Kid does this, and Princess Kenny is finally defeated. The group retrieves the Stick of Truth, but decide that its power is too great for any person to hold and throw it into Stark's Pond.

Bored of the game, the boys decide to play something else.

They ask the New Kid what he wants to play. The New Kid, who hasn't said a word the entire game, speaks for the first time and tells the boys "Screw you guys, I'm going home" to which Cartman replies, "Wow, what a dick!"

Development

Obsidian Entertainment had previously developed a number of role-playing video games (RPG) based on licensed properties, such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (2004), and Fallout: New Vegas (2010).[9] As opposed to being contacted by a video game publisher owning a license, Obsidian was directly approached by the creators of South Park.[10] Earlier South Park games included a number of 3D games – such as South Park (1998) and South Park Rally (2000) –, where Trey Parker and Matt Stone had little to do with development, and the quality of which they have publicly criticized.[11][12][13]

On March 13, 2012, Obsidian cancelled a "future next gen project", resulting in the layoff of approximately 20-30 employees both from that project and the upcoming Stick of Truth team.[14] On June 4, 2012, they debuted the first trailer at E3 2012. It was also announced at E3 that there would be multiple DLC packs, the first 3 of which will debut on Xbox 360 first and the DLC pack "Mysterion Superhero" would be an Xbox 360 exclusive. It was also announced that the Xbox 360 version would feature Kinect integration, allowing the user to use voice control including the ability to berate Cartman. However, Kinect support was dropped after the game was acquired by Ubisoft.

Three minigames were removed from the Australian version of the game after Australian Classification Board refused to rate the game.[15] The game went gold on February 12, 2014.[16] Ubisoft EMFA announced in late February 2014 that seven scenes were censored on the console versions of the game, in the Europe, Middle East, and African regions.[17]

Design

During Obsidian's first meeting with Parker and Stone, it was decided that the game would only be made if it could faithfully represent the show's unique 2D look, which is based on the style of cutout animation.[10] Obsidian provided the creators proofs of concept that they could achieve the South Park look, with which the creators were happy.[10]

The characters' costumes and classes appear to be based on the South Park episode "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers".[18] The costumes and class names also appear in the three-episode story arc formed by "Black Friday", "A Song of Ass and Fire", and "Titties and Dragons". IGN's Max Nicholson said the episode "felt like a sneak peek" for the game, and if nothing else, was "good marketing" in light of the numerous delays to the release of the game.[19]

Delays

On November 5, 2012, THQ announced that the game would be delayed to April 30, 2013.[20] In the gameplay trailer released on December 9, 2012, it was revealed that the pre-order bonus would be the "Good Times With Weapons" pack, which includes the Bulrog Chicken Attack, Cartman's Kick-Ass Sai weapons and the Samurai costume.[21]

On January 25, 2013, it was announced that Ubisoft had bought the publishing rights to South Park: The Stick of Truth from THQ as the latter had filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. After Ubisoft acquired the game, the release date was delayed again, to an unspecified date.[4] On May 3, 2013, a Ubisoft spokesperson confirmed that the game would still be released in 2013, after not being included in the publisher's official release schedule for upcoming games.[22]

On September 26, 2013, it was announced that the game would be released in North America on December 10, 2013,[23] in Australia on December 12, 2013,[24] and in Europe on December 13, 2013.[23] However, on October 31, 2013, it was announced that the game had been delayed again, and was released on March 4, 2014 in North America,[2] March 6, 2014 in Australia[1] and on March 7, 2014 in Europe except in Germany and Austria due to the game containing references to the Nazi Germans.[25]

The delays on South Park: The Stick of Truth are joked on in the "Black Friday" episode trilogy: Cartman denounces the pre-order system in "Black Friday", and Butters is skeptical of the game's proposed release at the end of "Titties and Dragons".

Reception

South Park: The Stick of Truth has received critical acclaim from critics. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the PC version 87.06% and 84/100,[26][30] the PlayStation 3 version 85.67% and 86/100[27][29] and the Xbox 360 version 82.33% and 82/100 respectively.[28][31]

IGN gave the game 9/10, praising its humour and RPG mechanics whilst criticising the similarity between the classes in the game.[42] Game Informer rated the game an 8.5/10[36] and GameSpot a 7/10.[38]

GameZone gave the PC version an 8/10, stating "South Park: The Stick of Truth may be the best video game spin-off in the show’s 17 year history."[40]
