It was much edgier than the Simpsons and my mom hated me watching it, so of course, I was going want to watch it more. From the moment I first watched South Park, I loved it. Why a 6-year-old boy should be concerned about his sperm is beyond me but that’s something we used to say. I remember hanging out in my ginger friend Dustin’s basement when we were 6 or 7 years old renting South Park on VHS, eating DQ ice cream cake, and drinking copious amounts of Mountain Dew, warning one another that it kills your sperm. That’s not to say I don’t like South Park. What was the segment saying to the audience? What was the joke? Or was this just here to mock Kanye? In my mind, it doesn’t accomplish anything at all and it’s in extremely poor taste. It’s a gross scene and I didn’t like it one bit and this made me question the entire game. The concept is a parody in itself of a game Kanye said he was working on. And of course, the unicorn is controlled by farting. The quest is a side quest that I completed upon beating the game and sees you controlling Donda on a unicorn on her way to heaven. It’s one thing to call out bad behavior in celebrities, which South Park does usually well, but it’s another to mock someone’s dead mother with a gross racial stereotype. You can tell an awful lot about a person based on their thoughts concerning Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West. This image evokes racist stereotypes that have a long, shameful history in America, most notably in cartoon depictions of African Americans in the early 1900s. In the game, West’s mother is portrayed as a black fish with large red lips, accentuated eyelashes, and gold earrings. One thing that stands out and was teased before the game was released was a scene featuring not only Kanye as a Gay Fish but his deceased mother, Donda West. I’ve had some good laugh out loud moments and some serious WTF moments that have me wondering how some things made it in the final game. It just sucks me back in with its simplicity and laughs here and there.

Perhaps because of how basic it really is. I will probably go back and get 100% which is unusual for me, but it’s easy and the game is addicting. I’ve finished the story and have a few more collectibles to pick up. I don’t spoil any twists or surprise characters just a few things you should know.Īt the time of writing this, I am just over 18 hours into the game and 89% done the game. I’m going try and avoid spoilers as much as possible but I’m sorry they do pop up below. It’s a fun game but it’s not the game I was hoping for. I had fun and I wanted to get to to the finish line but I have so many questions and concerns with the game. Is South Park not funny or is South Park just not for me anymore? South Park: The Fractured But Whole has me reevaluating my thoughts on the cartoon and what was the point of my 18-hour playthrough.
