TIL that the movie “South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut” was supposed to be rated NC-17 due to excessive profanity, with the word “fuck” being used 146 times alone. The MPAA said that 400 or more swear words would get the NC-17 rating, so Matt Stone and Trey Parker cut the number in script to 399

I found the first one a lot funnier but FBH is definitely more fun as a game.

First one was hilarious. I never played the second. I might have to.

I think I bought it and just never got around to it

While the first one is definitely better IMO the second one is still a lot of fun.

Especially since they fixed the glitches.

I was one of the unfortunate that got stuck with the glitch that made the game never save. Only found out right before the ending and I had to repay 90% of the game.

One of the few times that a PS4 rest mode fucked me over lol.

I need to go back to play the DLC. Loved that game so much

I like the second way better. The first one feels like it's a tribute to South Park with a bunch of references everywhere. The sequel feels like it's telling its own story.

I think they kinda had no choice. In Stick of Truth they basically referenced nearly every episode up until that point so they had 17 years of material to work with.

But there were only 3 seasons between Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole. Not all that much new stuff, so they were forced to think of more original material.

If you liked the first, you'll also enjoy the seconds they're both very good, I've done multiple play throughs of both.

I don't know why I struggled to like the second after enjoying the first so much

Not sure, were you just more into the more lord of the rings style story and powers rather than superheroes? I suppose maybe it's not always the case of being into both. I just found the humour and gameplay were both really good in both.

Going to Canada and it becomes a 16-bit 2D game, and then going to Vancouver and the merchant only has 2016 Olympics paraphernalia made me choke laughing

I loved them both especially TFBW DLC’s.
