The difficulty slider in South Park: TFBH changes the color of your skin.
Ubisoft's comedy RPG South Park: The Fractured but Whole features various levels of difficulty, from easy to very difficult, much like most games. What's different though is the difficulty affects the colour of your character's skin.
During the character creation section of the game, which you can see in the video below (skip to the five minutes and 40 seconds mark), you're able to change the colour of your character's skin, as you'd expect. What's interesting is the easier the difficulty, the lighter your character's skin. Conversely, the harder the difficulty, the darker your character's skin. It means if you want to play The Fractured but Whole on a harder than normal difficulty, you have to play as a person of colour.
During the process, South Park stalwart Eric Cartman will comment: "Don't worry, this doesn't affect combat. Just every other aspect of your whole life."
That is insanely retarded. So if I wanna play as a black dude I have to play on hard. Fuck that shit.

Inb4 "dude that's the point lmao"
Brayden Green
Thats actually pretty funny.
Nolan Cox
I hate that scene in an episode where they rape Trump to death

>It turns out, if you pick a non-male character, Ubisoft will use the conversation with Mr Mackey as a smart retconning of The Stick of Truth.
>"So the whole King and Stick of Truth thing, she was actually a girl the entire time?"
>Mr Mackey then asks you to clarify exactly what you mean by a girl. You're then asked to select whether you identify as cisgender or transgender.
>Aoife and Chris picked transgender, and Mr Mackey once again calls your parents. "It still tracks with The Stick of Truth, yes it does. She was definitely a girl the whole time. Yes of course. I get it."
uh oh

What if you're actually a black dude and don't wanna play on hard?
David Campbell
LMAO
REKT
Brayden Wilson
While I actually think that's kind of funny that sounds fucking dumb if that's for the whole game and not just as a gag while you can set difficulty yourself

Then don't self insert you stupid fuck.

Cool. Hmm, might play a niglet if I get bass powers.
Ian Brooks
MAYBE...LE TRUTH IS SOMEWHERE IN LE MIDDLE
MAKE U THINK
Wyatt Brooks
Doesn't affect anything but some dialogue and money you get apparently.
Jose Morales
Most black dudes wouldn't wanna play as whitey

>During the process, South Park stalwart Eric Cartman will comment: "Don't worry, this doesn't affect combat. Just every other aspect of your whole life."
so it's just a renamed skin color slider with a joke attached, actual combat difficulty will be set somewhere else
Jeremiah Evans
As hilarious as that shit is it's a pretty fucking stupid design decision for a game that has character customization.
Jace Moore
Everyone in the thread is finding it funny though Reddit.
Camden Ortiz
>white people are oppressed
Aiden Harris
It's not being made by Obsidian anyway, it's in house Ubishit
Brody Gonzalez
>its okay when they make fun of things as long as they don't offend me Thats a pretty original way of fucking with people, I like it
Jose Hernandez
Most black dudes are busy stealing shit to play video games.
Lucas Morgan
That's fucking hilarious.
Jacob Reyes
we are which is why we'll have an ethnostate soon
Brody Phillips
Having a lower iq definitely makes life harder.
Mason Powell
That's funny I must say.
A stupid balance decision, but funny nonetheless.
Ethan Walker
I feel like an idiot for not getting this off the bat There's probably not even an actual difficulty slider, the first one didn't have one iirc
Justin Foster
>it's a "generalizations are only okay when they're negative generalizations about white people" level >it's a "homeless, ugly paraplegic midget virgin with AIDS has it better than a multi-millionaire NBA player with a harem because his skin is white" level
Robert Gomez
thats great looks like someone can't take a joke
Jaxon White
The modern internet, especially twitter, has taught me that what most niggers actually do is sit around talking about spongebob and DBZ
Evan White
Great. Just saved me $60.
Noah James
>playing privileged white person is easy mode Sup ForumsTARDS ON SUICIDE WATCH HOLY SHIT HAHAHAH
Christian Hernandez
When did South Park turn sjw? I remember South Park being offensive to everyone.

Oliver Ortiz
Kinda funny actually
Ryder Fisher
>"homeless, ugly paraplegic midget virgin with AIDS has it better than a multi-millionaire NBA player with a harem because his skin is white"
No one has ever, ever fucking said this. It's just what snowflake bitchboys from Sup Forums hear whenever someone suggests being a nigger has unique downsides compared to being white.
Because they're brainlet fucks who need to get off my board and go back to their shitty subreddits.
Christopher Sanchez
Seems to still be offending you my dude.
Joshua Sanders
We're not so different after all.
Jason Wood
That's actually quite funny tho. Why are you mad OP? You even quoted the part where they flat out say that it doesn't affect combat so what exactly is the issue? It's probably more like an in-game joke where many of the NPCs will act like assholes towards you if you're black or you get smaller rewards for doing quests or something like that.
Thomas Sanchez
it is offensive to everyone, it's just that everyone includes you
first one had a slider but it wasn't selected during the character creation, you had to set it in the option menu
Luis Gray
Everyone includes you. Seems like they still got it.
Aaron Johnson
When Trump won and all the liberals decided to go full force.
Nathaniel Ross
I see no problem with this. It's a pretty South Park thing to do on the devs' part.
John Young
HAHAHAHAHAHA TRIGGERED POLTARTS
IT WAS HER TURN BASH THE FASH FUCK DRUMPF AND FUCK WHITE PEOPLE
Isaac Murphy
I guess they're not aware of the term "white man's" burden.
Aiden Stewart
That's pretty clever.
Oliver Rivera
>South Park still virtue signaling to liberals Guess Matt's wife is still influencing him.
Ian Collins
So then why is race a uniquely negative form of discrimination only when you're discriminating against non-white people, even though literally every other form of discrimination is socially acceptable? I don't see any activist groups crying over how badly short men are treated compared to tall men.
Isaiah Gomez
>shitskins who live in a first world countries are oppressed
Jace Taylor
Yet another developer that hates white people. What did we do so wrong?
Dominic Campbell
this was probably a Ubisoft idea
Evan Morgan
You sound upset.
Did South Park hurt you?
Oliver Jackson
Manlet detected
Eli Myers
wtf I thought they were /ourguys/!?
Lincoln Cox
>When did South Park turn sjw?
They had a whole (bloody awful) season of "politically correct" material.
Michael Phillips
Black people aren't oppressed. White people are.
Ryder Young
Does it actually affect difficulty or no? That's all that really matters.
Benjamin Walker
But matt and trey aren't libtards.
Charles Long
>Always design the character to look like myself >Stuck on easy mode because of it
I almost want to make a satirical and ugly character with yellow half-shaved head and black skin, just so I can play on a reasonable difficulty. I'm not too bothered, but character appearance should only matter if you're too tall to fit through holes or too small to get up steps. I don't want an ironic Dark Souls character to play correctly.
Dominic Rivera
No, it's Angela Howard's idea South Park has avoided doing things that would offend blacks like the fucking plague since 2008 when Matt married her.
Connor Price
I doubt they would be that stupid, so it's probably just a gag
Joseph Parker
but there has been people who have outright said a homeless white man has more privilege than a rich black man
Nathan Foster
It makes the game harder by giving you less resources. Either there is a seperate combat difficulty setting or there aren't any combat difficulty settings, we don't know.
Brayden Phillips
Reading the OP might help
Samuel King
They have been since they got married. The comment where they said they hate liberals and identify as libertarian was from 2006, before they were married to the chink and nigger.
Oliver Mitchell
go back
William Bailey
I love this place.
Connor Martin
>get into college easier >get job easier because diversity
Hard mode for sure.
Xavier Phillips
Answer the fucking question. Why is racial discrimination even a relevant issue in 21st century western countries when it's trivial compared to every other factor that determines your opportunities and ability to succeed in life? It seems like you assholes are just flogging a dead horse because you want an excuse to justify your bigotry toward white people.
Adam Edwards
I think that's pretty funny
Gavin Diaz
>x offends me so it's no longer offensive to everyone
Dylan Bennett
Make me I can't hear you, you're too small.
Elijah Scott
That's what (((they))) want you to believe
Nathaniel Parker
>Sup Forumstards triggered >SJW triggered my fucking sides, literally perfect
Michael Phillips
This sort of sucks for creating a character but if this offends you then you're no better than an SJW. It's fucking South Park.
Nolan Parker
damn when did south park get woke
definitely getting it now
Isaiah Allen
Reminder: in order to play this game you need to go through Steam, Uplay and Denuvo at the same time.
Gabriel Miller
>When you’re white, you don’t know what it’s like to be living in a ghetto t. Bernie Sanders, exact words
Jonathan Miller
well you literaly making yourself worse so it make sense to the game to be harder
Carter Moore
>this doesn't affect combat That doesn't include prices of shops or rate of money dropped.
Hudson Campbell
I'm over 6 ft tall, but I'm aware that this affords me privileges that are not available to short white men. Answer the fucking question, brainlet.
Isaac Hernandez
They aren't retarded Sup Forumscucks either. They have always taken shots at everyone.
Connor Ward
>telling people to go back >because you are offended
get the fuck out faggot you couldn't be more obvious if you tried
Cameron Long
Sounds like it's better to just buy a ps4 version
Luis Johnson
>Had plans to buy this game >This happens
Nolan Lopez
After putting up with the pitiful nature of the streamers, I see what they mean by "difficulty". That's clever, and I wish more games had the balls to do that.
>the dude tries to get up and walk away after a WOOOOOOW Cringy is right, jeez.
Eli Cook
>I'm over 6 ft tall Yeah sure
Colton Torres
get deported carlos
Landon Robinson
more like not buying it at all
Wyatt Gomez
>Haha, take that whitey!
But what if you're a nig and you want to play a nig and have to get less resources throughout the game
Justin Diaz
Not a surprise. The (((western))) media is filled with leftist propaganda.
Adrian Brooks
There weren't activist groups for trans people until somewhat recently Don't worry fellow manlet, our time will come
Benjamin Collins
Or it could be the other way around and Cartman just being racist towards you. Game gets harder because your beginning stats suck thanks to you being black or something.
Nolan Cook
I told you to make me leave, not repost your collection of Sup Forums images that everyone has seen 1000 times already.
Angel Hughes
What did South Park's last season do to offend liberals? Nothing. I was waiting all season for something and it did nothing. The previous season was great because it carried something that offended everyone. Last season barely even attacked Hillary Clinton. It didn't lay a finger on berncucks. It didn't lay a finger on the rest of the DNC. It didn't lay a finger on lefties in general.
South Park is falling into the easy mode trap of just appealing to one side of the political aisle, something I would have laughed at anyone suggesting possible years ago.
