Weaboos is a derogatory term describing a know-nothing loser who only lives and breaths jap anime/gaming and tries to show off how awesome they are by thier extensive knowledge of it. So no labelling admirers of japanese gaming and culture as weaboos is not accurate. There is alot more to the world for many fans of jap culture than just jap anime/games.
Kinda like saying that every american is a know-nothing redneck. (tempting but not accurate)

I feel sorry for those foolished weaboos buying rehashed Japanese junk. Japanese developers will never evolve their franchise. Same crap different day glad I'm not part of the cycle.

I think there's been excessive wank over Obsidian in here. New Vegas was great, but only because Fallout 3 was even better.

New Vegas was actually superior overall compared to Fallout 3, it was a lot more personable, and Old World Blues had me in stitches.

Taking Jarrod's info into consideration the guys that worked on New Vegas should have worked on a game style that they were good at (fallout 1 and 2)
Because they were not as good in bethesdas game style with thier attempt at following Fallout 3. Sure it had an atmosphere from fallout 1 and 2 but it didnt work as well. (kinda like getting a mechanic who has only worked on motorcycles to suddenly be expected to repair a car like a pro - sure they have the skills to pick it up, but its not thier specialty)
I say stick to what your good at and evolve that.

On topic:
| Quote: | South Park RPG - New Game Details From Game Informer
-The first game Parker and Stone have directly participated in, writing the script and the dialogue.
-Parker has always preferred silent protagonists in RPG’s, so the player’s character will be silent.
-The player’s character will be fully customizable.
-Your character has a smartphone that acts as the primary game menu and has a facebook-like app show your number of friends you have and your current standing with the various kid factions.
-There are five classes, which are wizard, paladin, adventurer, rogue, and a fifth unannounced class.
-Obsidian is using the Dungeon Siege III engine.
-Obsidian developed a dynamic lip-syncing tool to accommodate changes to the script.
-Parker and Stone gave Obsidian 15 years of assets used during the show and a detailed list of approved textures and colors.
-Critical hits, cash rewards, experience, and consumables are in the game.
-Parker hates unskippable cutscenes.
-The humor will be more focus on the games they have played in the past but Parker mentions that games have lampooned other games before so they don’t want to do exactly that instead they are focusing more on RPG’s on how big and bombastic they can get sometimes.
Combat
-Combat system is like Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi games.
-If player initiates combat they will attack first and vice versa.
-X button is for melee attacks, pressing it in well-timed succession will result in multiple hits.
-Timed inputs occur for defense as well for reduced damage.
-Obsidian doesn’t want the player to have to sit and watch animations play out; they’re incorporating dynamic camera angels at certain times, such as a Ro Sham Bo attack that stuns an enemy.
RPG
-Enemy encounters are visible on the map.
-Soda are health potions and Tweak’s coffee is a haste item.
-There are melee and ranged weapons, as well as a lightning powered Okama Gameshpere that is a magic item.
-There is a Final Fantasy Materia like system in the game to augment weapons with various abilities like fire, poison, and electricity.
-There is a Summon System but they are not able to talk about it.
Collectibles
-There are collectibles to look for in the environments, some appear throughout the game while other are in specific areas.
-An example of a collectible is a Chinpokomon doll and a magazine, Chinpokomon dolls are not all the same model Obsidian are using various models that appeared in the episode.
Other
-When Obsidian were first coming up with ideas they show Parker and Stone a quest where you go into a cave and fight a giant bat boss that Ike is riding on, Parker and Stone said that the quest wasn’t Southpark, that it was a generic video-game. Parker and Stone then mention a quest to get Kung Pao Chicken from City Wok, to readjust Obsidian focus.
-When they start making the town hub Parker and Stone realized that they a true layout for the town, so they had fun figuring out where everything went.
-There will not be any platforming, they tried jumping early on but it didn’t seem right.
-They talk about how they have had to scrap level because the perspective wasn’t right because everything is hand illustrated and hand animated.
-They talk about the challenges of making a comedy driven game, Portal 2 is mention, they say if Portal 2 dialogue was on top of a shitty game it wouldn’t be as good, so they want to make a game that is as good as the dialogue.
Interview with Trey Parker and Matt Stone
-Parker and Stone really enjoy rpgs and they do think that rpgs are the best fit for southpark.
-They were asked of how making a rpg story differs for an episode, they say that the learning curve was be bigger than anything they have done other then their Broadway musical.
-Visual and Visual style seen in episodes like “Good Times With Weapons”, or the live action hamsters in “Pandemic” will not be in the game they want to keep a simple 2D style.
-Parker has been a lifelong gamers, he really likes rpgs because he like the singleplayer nature of them so he doesn’t like or get MMO’s. His favorite game is Oblivion.
-Matt when he was young used to play the old Infocom game and Wizardry and likes open world games like Arkham City, Infamous, Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, and also hockey and soccer games. He mention that he is more of a button masher and remember Serious Sam because he likes to shoot shit and blow shit up but he is now more interested in games like Arkham City and he hasn’t play a RPG in year because he got tired of walking everywhere. His favorite game is FIFA and he mentions getting his ass kick online by kids with English Accents.
-Lastly they joke how this Southpark game will be a cross between Obilivion and FIFA were “you gotta go kill a bunch of monsters and shit but you can only use your feet.”
Story
-The player will play as the new kid in town, the main theme of the game is fitting in and being accepted.
-The story begins with your character participating in a live action role-playing game that the neighborhood kids started, which eventually evolves into a real adventure.
-Eric Cartman will greet your character and help you decide your class, which are wizard, paladin, adventurer, rogue, and a fifth unconventional class made up by Cartman. |

wow... uh projecting much?
Do I have to drop some knowledge on you fools again? Cause that aint what it means.
Weeaboo is a nonsence word from this Perry Bible Fellowship comic that ended up being used as a word replacement as a joke on /jp/ on 4chan to replace Japanese and Japanophile. Japanophile means someone with an intrest or love for things from Japan.
thats it
Any negative connotations are something that you are putting on the word.

But as I said, and like Al3x reiterated, a lot of people did enjoy New Vegas more than Fallout 3, and I know more than a few people who consider it a far more faithful sequel to Fallout 2 than Fallout 3, even though the mechanics were based around what Bethesda built for Fallout 3.
With both Oblivion and Fallout 3 (won't speak for Skyrim), Bethesda mostly cater to the 'grand adventure' crowd, where you can do and see everything in a single playthrough with a single character, as the world caters to everything your character wants to do. They're ~100+ hour adventures.
Obsidian, with New Vegas, called back to the design of Fallout/Fallout 2 and older Western RPGs, where the game world doesn't cater to the player, and instead the player crafts a character and experiences the world from that character's perspective. You find more interactivity and stuff to discover that may or may not be locked off based on your skill set. Quests are usually more multilayered with varied outcomes instead of one set plot line. You're encouraged to play to your strengths and find work arounds for your weaknesses, rather than the game scaling and adapting to a 'jack of all trades' playthrough, which is a solid foundation of Oblivion/Fallout 3.
It doesn't appeal to everyone. As said, I know plenty who preferred New Vegas, but I also know plenty who didn't, because those people prefer Bethesda's "my big adventure" style game design.

And there's one newer than that too:
I like it when they update. Unlike those barren years when there wasn't any.

Try looking up Wapanese if your so inteested in its origin and what i took to be the "context" Jarrod was referring to. (sigh)
And just to be clear im a fan of PC, Xbox and PS3. (shock horror i know!) I dont think any is better, just a different medium for having fun. Likewise......you know what....  whatever...

Disagree that it was superior overall. As far as the main quest went, it turned into a jumbled mess. Again, not to say I didn't love it.
Further to my point, Obsidian are only capable of riding on someone else's coat tails. Trey's involvement has me very interested in this, but if Obsidian were left to their own devices I'm confident this game would find itself closer to "shit" than not.

From the article above:
-When Obsidian were first coming up with ideas they show Parker and Stone a quest where you go into a cave and fight a giant bat boss that Ike is riding on, Parker and Stone said that the quest wasn’t Southpark, that it was a generic video-game. Parker and Stone then mention a quest to get Kung Pao Chicken from City Wok, to readjust Obsidian focus.
It sounds to me like they're leaving the quests to Obsidian here, and merely approving or disapproving actual quests.
Now that I've started to think about it, this is basically the end game of games to me, by combining my favourite TV show with one of my favourite gaming genres, you get South Park: The Game. But I don't have very high hopes based on the quote above. If Oblivion (supposedly heavily influenced) and the world of South Park is anything to go by, there should be dungeons with Manbearpig, *** gold, Succubus and crab people, a giant lake with the Loch Ness monster, giant volcanic mountains leading to Scuzzlebut, etc. Not "go inside a cave and fight a giant bat boss that Ike is riding on" which is what Obsidian has pitched. What a stupid and pointless quest that has nothing to do with any of the episodes.
I really hope Trey is alot more involved than what is suggested in the article posted by Admeister, Obsidian don't seem to have much of a clue regarding quests for this game.
There's the potential to pull off an epic boss fight which can't really be found in recent RPG's:
