Farting is the hardest thing for me.

As I play the new South Park: The Stick of Truth like many others I am becoming rather troubled by something in the game. Farting, a form of magic that is unlocked through the game, is incredibly annoying to get down. It is the most annoying difficult when you are first learning a fart. Maybe it's because I am playing with a Xbox 360 controller but its frustratingly difficult to get it down. I have been stuck at the third fart tutorial for nearly 50 tries now because I simply don't understand what to do. Maybe I am just an idiot but is anyone else playing having trouble? Or is it because it is the console version that makes it so frustrating?

I don't have stick of truth or anything, but this is the best topic title ever.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get it down soon. Maybe watch a let's play, go on gameFAQS, you know, stuff like that.

Yeah, when I was little all my farts would be quiet so I could get away with letting one loose in a public environment but nowadays...

I mean, um, right...Stick of Truth, you say? Sorry, can't help you >_>

The tutorials make it a lot harder than it turns out to be.

The Sneaky Squeaker is simply a matter of pulling back on R, finding the frequency and then pushing forward on the stick like any other fart. The only difference is you 'guide' the fart with your left stick. Just make sure to detonate it just as it passes the target.

I assume this is the one with Randy in the toilet. I was stuck there as well. Basically just ignore the demonstration they give you, the fart is meant to fly way past Randy. Just follow the onscreen prompts and hope it ends up working.

Yes I'm on PC and I had trouble, they don't do a very good job of making it clear.

Ignore the big "A and D," they are only the controls and their flashing has nothing to do with when you should press them.

There is a small arrow around the outside of the oval with the frequency in it. That is what you're paying attention to.
Pressing A and D moves that arrow around the outside of the oval, you need to use A and D (or just one of them) to move that arrow to the sweet spot, you can tell when the arrow is on the sweet spot as the waves inside the oval go all crazy. At that point you just leave it there till it allows you to press right click.

I figured out my main problem with that one. The screen prompted me to do the fart with two sticks, one stick on the left the other on the right. This automatically made me assume that the stick on the left was the left analog stick, and the stick on the right was the right analog stick. It took me a good 30 minutes of frustration to figure out that you still begin the fart normally. So it turns out it wasn't as hard as I thought. I'm just an idiot.

If anyone is having trouble with the Sneaky Squeaker this video should help.

I was getting quite frustrated til I found this and after following the directions I got it easily on the first try.

Ahh the quick solution...cheat *tut tut's* You'll never get better at games if all you do is cheat when you reach a hard point...

This topic is just wonderful.

On topic though, the tutorial make the fart magic much more difficult than it actually is. When you luckily get past the crapper with randy just fire off a couple of squeakers in the next room and you will quickly get the hang of it. Here is a tip after you rock the right thumbstick forward to release the fart quickly move the left control stick around to get a feel for the range and speed of the control for the green fart bubble. In the bathroom you can't even see the green fart bubble at all and I didn't even know it existed until I was forced to use the squeaker a little bit later in the game.

Like I give a fuck about hardcore gamership or whatever the hell it is. My goal is to have fun in any way I can. I care not for these penis measuring contests.

Don't worry, once you do it in the tutorial you don't actually have to do it again when using the farts in combat. Sort of pointless, really. But I agree, the prompts in that game are sometimes mystifying. I have no idea what they want from me!

I didn't see this was in Gaming Discussion at first so I expected a very different thread.

From what I can see, it looks like the best South Park game ever conceived.

I don't understand how it would be cheating to get help in understanding a small aspect of the game.

It's more than understandable. In hindsight it probably would have better if I included games title in there as well.

The instructions make is sounds so much harder than it really is. Once you figure it out you'll laugh and how ungodly easy it really is.

This.
Immediately when I cleared my mind of Cartman's (then later Randy's) fart directions, it was like I finally understood the joke of that tutorial...

Then, I started having problems taking a shit in the toilet...

I got stuck there too. I was following the prompt of the left stick by waving it back and forth rather than holding it at the right frequency. It really isn't 100% clear on what you need to do there.

It was super annoying for me as well at the beginning but it's stupidly easy once you understand what it wants from you.

Point the right stick down until you see the prompt to push it up.

For the third tutorial, you just need to point and hold the left analogue stick to the left. Keep the right stick down during this part as well.

You don't need to see anything on the screen except the prompt section so just stare at that spot.

When the right time to push the right stick up occurs, it will indicate it in that prompt section.



My initial failures with this tutorial was that I was using the visual cue of where the object was on screen to judge for myself when to trigger the release. This tutorial doesn't work that way and during this tutorial, you don't control squat. Just follow the button prompts and let the animation play itself out.

I hope this helps you.

So your goal isn't to play the game but to watch it i guess...might aswell save yourself some money and just watch let's play and pretend you played it :p

Since when is finishing a game without cheating considered hardcore? *boggles*
