If I do a speed run of the story mode while skipping every cutscene and skipping through certain battle scenarios, I can probably beat it in 5 hours (maybe less).
Not sure where that 50-100 hour story came from.

I still believe that whenever companies call ´50+´ hours of gameplay, it involves unlocking every single thing there is in the game. For these Naruto games, they involve doing story mode, Ninja World timeline Mode, and probably getting all those horrible things like Ninja Items, substition jutsu's, Ninja Cards etc.
In the end, by unlocking all those things you'll probably hit the 50+ hour mark.

When is the embargo meant to be lifted?

I'm hoping mine comes tomorrow. They opened a location in Missouri recently, I've been getting stuff a lot faster.

Dunno. I guess the reviews will start hitting the net tomorrow, since that's been the trend with this series.
I doubt there's an embargo when Japanese and European sites have already leaked everything about the game weeks before it's release. I think it's just a low priority for most sites. I'd be surprised if we even got a Giantbomb Quicklook of it.

We might get a quick look. Giant Bomb really liked Asura's Wrath.

expect a solid 8.0
I see 7.5's and 8's across the board. I'm not expecting it to do any better than Storm 2 or Gen.
This game is a hell of a lot better than Gen.

Pumped to start playing the story and online tomorrow. Wish the Edo Kages were playable and that some of characters were updated, but CC2 still knows how to make a fun fighter. Can't wait to kick some ass with Darui, A, and Nagato among many others.

Does anyone know which characters are playable right off the bat?

It's better than Generations because of the Boss Battles and better online play plus the new characters.
I can appreciate the story mode/boss battles. But perhaps these features are being "overrated", so to speak.
Honestly, the story mode is comprised of cutscenes, QTEs, and minigame-like gameplay. The look and feel is decent, but doesn't seem like a design masterpiece...in fact, I feel that story mode gets really repetitive.
CC2 is capable of much better. I wonder if Namco Bandai rushed them...
Regardless I'm pumped for another 2D naruto installment

The cutscenes and QTE's were a major part of Storm 2 and that's what made it so awesome.

Is there a higher difficulty setting for the story mode?

I am getting it for the single player, really. I'll probably play the multiplayer during maybe two get-togethers ever. Which will be fun, but this series is all about Playing The Story for me.
most, if you have save data from the other 3 games of course. only the new characters aren't unlocked after that.

Wait. Was this game street dated? I got a text from GameStop saying the game would be available Tuesday in the morning. So if I can pick it up before work, that'd be grand.

Just a heads up, while retrieving my DLC code from Neon Alley, this was posted on the redeem page: "The DLC is available to all Neon Alley members with active accounts (paid or free trial) upon request (here, while supplies last)."
I doubt they would run out and their probably just saying that to cover their ass just in case it happens, but you never know.

You might be a little lost if you don't know the story. But if you read up on it you should be fine.
I haven't played this one, specifically, yet but if it's like the second one then it should.

new madara trailer and a message from Kishimoto in the beginning.
Been playing since yesterday, I haven't unlocked the new characters yet but I've been playing online with orochimaru and unsurprisingly Madara is dominating in selection.

Yep I will play this video game.
[Edit] Actually hey, someone help me out here. Why would I want to use adversity awakening instead of instant, if I'm in a situation where I have access to either? Adversity still makes you all weak and shitty when it runs out, right? Is the only benefit to it the fact that your chakra bar doesn't decrease during it?
