That is when I got my version as well. Though I made a mistake it isn't the Russian version it was ROW(Rest of World) it was just that people in Russia were able to by that version for cheap. I am pretty sure that Ubisoft closed that down.

Yeah ubi closed that down last week and if you didn't have it redeemed there was a chance that the game would be region locked to Russia
Nice one dude. I've played it for 2 days non stop and nearing the end I imagine. It really is epic.
Damn dude, sounds much longer than 12 hours.
Good to hear.
Can you comment on your playtime so far?

I am so damn torn about this game.
South Park is one of my favorite TV shows period. I adore it to put it lightly.
I loath turn based combat games. Loathe them. Have never made it longer than an hour in any game that incorporates this gameplay mechanic.
I happen to adore video games as much as I adore South Park, probably even more so.
So can I overlook one of, in not my, least favorite type of gameplay genres for my love of the show itself? I do not think I can at the end of the day, and feel like if I spend the $60 on it, I will play for a few hours because of my love of the show, but eventually stop playing because of my dislike of the genre of game that it is.
Really hoping I sent back Zelda Ocarina Of Time 3DS to GameFly in time to have an open spot on my queue for them to send me this game. I might not have. If I did not, I will probably break down and purchase it, even though I am pretty sure I will hate the gameplay.
EDIT - Nice, I thought it came out earlier, I almost definitely sent back OoT in time to get this game as a rental.
I have truly never faced such a predicament in regards to a video game. How I wish it was a different genre of gameplay.

I'm curious as well. The gameplay, story, and how the game looks has already got me interested. I just want to hear about the length now.
I'm also waiting for reviews on the PS3 version of this game. I want to know if it runs good. The game doesn't look graphics heavy, so I'm hoping it runs good.
edit: Had a guess, but it's really not based on anything.
So tired of guessing.
As am i :/
I saw your estimate however, and it seems fairly plausible either way lol.
I have however, played a game for 2 days straight
Special case though.
just watch the game on youtube

Any word on console performance? New Vegas ran pretty poor on PS3. I want to get South Park on PS3.
Sounds good. Sidequests should bump up the playtime nicely as well.
Fantastic!
Sounds great.
What makes this funnier, is when you remember that Cartman's mum's been in German Scat porn...Well hot damn! I just got a review code for PC!

I'm kinda torn on this because I love Obsidian and want a good, fun RPG to blow through, and yet I find South Park funny only about 30% of the time. I guess this is probably not for me?
May be a tough sell if you don't find it all that funny.
Finally a game that game reviewers will play to completion.

Can you pm me, I don't see anything in the email asides from specs, the code and the embargo date for review. Did yours say something else?
Nice one dude. I've played it for 2 days non stop and nearing the end I imagine. It really is epic.
Good to hear!
Probably not. While the gameplay mechanics look OK, this is a fan service game. You may still find some enjoyment, but not as much as South Park fans will.
Good enough for me.

I can already see the articles now:
"Are games too long? Study shows that people only play games for five minutes."

20 hours sounds good for just the main story.

That doesn't sound so bad. Especially if someone takes their time finishing the game.
And if you get good deals it's not so bad, I'm waffling but I'm locked in at about $33 for Amazon currently which is a good hours-per-dollar ratio.

was thinking about just renting from redbox...but 60 dollar purchase confirmed at that legth
I hope the day one patch includes an unskippable full length T&P episode. "congratulations on finally purchasing the stick of truth! our feature presentation will not be seen until the end of asses of fire number two!"
They could patch it back out later. The fans that have been waiting will get the joke and unhappily sit through it.

What about the 35 part lets play of the 13 minute game?

Do you live on Jupiter?Nice one dude. I've played it for 2 days non stop and nearing the end I imagine. It really is epic.

Well he estimated 16-18 hours, and that included 3 side quests. Will be interesting to see what the exact number is when he checks in later. My guess is that the main campaign is 15 hours.

Any reviews out for this yet? I think it's going to be good... but something inside of me makes me resist any licensed game.

Probably won't be getting them until the 4th of March, release day, when embargo lifts.

That's sounds pretty good! Did you explore much? That one guy was saying he played for like an hour or two before he reached the part that was at the end of the 13 minute gameplay video.
GAF's favorite youtube celebrity has posted part 4 of his series...
Warning: Pewdiepie
I'm gonna pass on watching it. I feel like I've spoiled enough of the game for myself.

Played 2 hours so far and they absolutely nailed the show quality. I'm still on the first main quest after the intro stuff and did a few side quests. I've LOL'd out loud a few times already. So yeah... keeping things to a minimum
