4. Cartman is now portrayed as an unambigious hero despite being the same little shithead.

10. Everything gets bowdlerized to make it "kid-friendly" even though South Park isn't made for kids at all.

7. It is owned partly by E.A., so there are random microtransactions for no reason. In fact, to fight the final boss, you must pay $99.99!

Speaking of the final boss...

7.5: After Louis gets beaten, a cutscene plays where he gets sent to the Punishment Zone, where he will get a punishment day by the founder of Atlus himself, Cozy Okada. The punishments are as follows:

    Punishments 
  1. Being on the receiving end of an all-out attack from each and every one of the S.E.E.S, Investigation Team, and Phantom Thieves, even though they weren't alive in the middle ages.
  2. Mutating into a Metaphor "human".
  3. Eating a glass ornament.
  4. Watching his grounded series. Said series is rendered in Go!Animate and has 100 episodes. Nevermind that said website wouldn't come out until way after the middle ages.
  5. Being in a behavior card day with 512 cards at the MegaTen school. Will gets the golden card and wins 1 quadrillion Macca, graduates forever, and gets a free pass to anywhere he wants, while Louis gets the black card and is in dead meat and expelled forever. In fact, the teacher straight up kills him. The other 510 cards are for a bunch of other random MegaTen characters.
  6. After dying, a countdown appears, which cunts down from 60. "Suspense - Demon Lair" plays for the entirety of the countdown while Louis is scared. Then, every single demon that was ever in Megami Tensei jumpscares Louis, along with many furious (D8<) Chelsies, (non-scary) images of Spiffy Pictures, color-inverted pictures of every single SURVIVOR medical evacuation, shots of characters from A Serbian Film, Human Centipede, and Tomorrow's Pioneers, gore of random characters, and a rock with "boo" written on it. Louis is traumatized to double death, but not before crying (saying "wah-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-ah"). His "corpse" is just him with a asleep expressing in his lying down action, complete with breathing.
  7. Being revived (but still in Hell), just to be grounded grounded grounded grounded grounded for 987654321 millenia.

After his sentence to Hell, the devil throws him into a lava pit.

8. Joker is now a playable character to honor the Persona series... but it turns out the mistaken him for the other Joker. To make things worse, it's his Suicide Squad iteration.

9. Adding to the above point, the Joker from Joker: Folie Γ  Deux appears as well, and he constantly hypes up that film and treats it like it is the best film ever despite its... issues.

10. Every boss is super hard for some reason, including one that makes the game Unintentionally Unwinnable without finding a certain glitch to defeat it.


Cut the Rope

Hot take: I actually like Yoshi's New Island and it's soundtrack.

4. When a spider steals your candy, rather than just laughing, it yells a laughing HAHA YOU SUCK! in a very annoying voice.

6. You can't even see the candies at all. The only way to know where any of them are is looking at where the attached ropes point.

7. The game is a subverted kids game, and when you beat a puzzle, it graphically kills the monster.
