You know, in case you forgot
South Park: The Fractured but Whole picks up after The Stick of Truth ends. You’re still the new kid in town, but the other kids of South Park got sick of playing fantasy and started playing superheroes. That seems like a logical leap for a bunch of fourth graders.
Cartman’s in charge of picking backstories for all the superheroes, and yours is that you’re permanently scarred because you saw your dad fuck your mom. Nevermind the fact that of course your dad has fucked (and probably still fucks) your mom, as Kyle saliently points out. You saw it and now it’s part of your superhero persona.
Thematic changes aren’t all The Fractured but Whole has in store. There are also combat changes, including movement, using props, and pushing and pulling enemies. Also, farts are back with the power to rip holes in the fabric of time and rearrange turn order.
If you haven’t played The Stick of Truth, Ubisoft’s running a decent pre-order deal for The Fractured but Whole. Pre-orders get a free copy of The Stick of Truth which Ubisoft says goes into effect today. You should have plenty of time to get caught up by the time the new game releases on December 6.
