Should I play this game without even watching the TV series?
I haven't really had the chance to watch all episodes of this series, can I still play this game without even watching it? Are there any connections on the tv series and in this game? Please enlighten me because I'm thinking to buy this game and I've seen some of the gameplays and I may say it is pretty awesome :) Anyway thanks in advance to those all people who will comment and reply in this discussion. :steamhappy:

So this game story line have somehow some sort of relativity with the tv series? I know some characters but not really familiar to all of it.

You should probably watch a couple of episodes to get an idea of the humor and personality of the characters, then if you like that, you should definitely start the game. It is so funny. :steamhappy:

Dear Heisenberg

Sure, you can play the game without watching the show.
Do, you will miss alot of references, inside jokes, etc...
But yeah, you CAN play the game without watching the great show ;)

Greetings, Sky

Like some of the previous comments it wouldnt hurt to watch the show, it would probably make it more enjoyable knowing the characters and some of the inside jokes but you could play this without watching the show sure! You really Would be the new kid then! :steamhappy:

I wouldn't, I love the funny stuff in the game but the game mechanics are terrible. I don't think it is worth the $7.49 I paid for it. I will not buy any more games from that game designer for sure. EDIT after playing many more hours I do think the SP content is worth it and if you unplug the 360 controller when training magic on the pc you can easily do it on the mouse/keyboard.

What is wrong with you? The game mechanics are from turn based RPGs, and much better than them.

You've probably already decided.... BUT! This game pulls nearly everything from the shows. The amount of "references" it makes is astonishing. Seriously, every few seconds can be a new reference to the show and a new episode! It's basically a mash of the first "few" seasons all roll'd into one.

But! It's like it used the show as building blocks, and became it's own thing. I wouldn't say it's a must to see the show first, but it helps if you want to know where the game building blocks came from. Like, it's neat to see Chinpokemon and remember the episode when they were obsessed with the things. Or, seeing Jesus with an automatic weapon. Bunches of stuff...

The game is like an extended SP episode, but if you don't follow the series there's a bunch of references you won't understand.

If you like the old school turn based JRPGs and like the style of humour of the show then buy the game its amazing at both of these things

On the PC with an XBOX 360 controller some of the QTE's are not correct, you cannot do the training!!!!!!

look up on the wiki for wher the game fallin with the show. becose the show has changed so much over the years. its closer to the earler seasions in jokes.

Its not needed to watch the show. You might enjoy the game more without watching the show first as some of the crude and funny jokes will be a first
