Yes, it says just so, am i good to VPN then ?

Yeah, the preorder bonus is on your account.

I thought the game was region locked, so people from other region had to use the VPN for the key activation, not after.

For those that bought a key from GMG but haven't received their key, a staff member just posted this on the forum:

Thanks, made a ticket.

Is the 360 version stuttering really that big of an issue?

Like I said in the review thread.

The console versions definitely have loading-induced stuttering if you sort of rush through an area as soon as it loads. If you wait a second or so, it's not really an issue. Not sure if the patch will clean that up. Other than that the game looks great.

Ubisoft recommends you do a full install on the 360 version right in their review notes.

Also, the game is pretty easy, so don't be afraid to play on Hardcore.

The game doesn't launch in some territories until the 6th. Using a NA VPN allows people in these regions, who own the game, to play early.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Uh my Amazon order still says 'Preparing to Ship' and that I won't get it til next Monday. What fucking gives? They're usually great about shipping my preorders out early and getting to me the day or two after release.

 

[ttocs]

Are you able to switch classes ever or do you pick one up front and just play that for the duration of the game?

Question regarding the hunting quest:

How do I get to Canada?

And whats up with the forest?

Also how do I get to

in the Sewer?

 

[KiDdYoNe]

Okay, managed to install that VPN programm. Now it says to me that RU version (of course) cannot be played/activated in US.

Fuck that. I tried, tried hard, but now i don't give a shit if Butters is not pleased.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Is this game open world?

 

[lindseybp]

Damn I cannot find a PS3 grand wizard edition at a brick and mortar store anywhere. Seems like most didn't get any in besides gamestop and those are only for preorders. I tried Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Meijer, ToysRus and several gamestops and came up with nothing. Anybody seen one in a store yet?

 

[BennyBlanco]

So.... the manbearpig quest....

How do I place the defibrillator in the sewer?

I'm sorry to ask such a common question but is 30€ from GMG a good price or can I get even better deal somewhere else?

Thanks, doesn't sound as bad as I first thought.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I really want this game but I think there might eventually be a next gen version with more content added. I doubt it would look any better but I'd love to have an extra hour of content or whatever they decide to add. I just feel like the opportunity for the publisher to milk this one is too great for a port not to happen.

 

[OSHAN]

It's probably been mentioned but how long is this game?

 

[Mondy]

This game is fucking awesome. Playing on Hardcore on the first run makes it so much better. I just played like 5-6 hours nonstop and I haven't done that for a game in ages. I think I'm in love, GAF.

Also, has anyone managed to successfully finish the toilet minigame? Because that is fucking hard to do.

 

[abundant]

Well, my copy won't be coming in until tomorrow, even though I got release date delivery from Amazon. Now I know to never preorder from Amazon so late (Friday before release).

 

[Red_taiyaki]

Can't wait to start playing the game later tonight. It's going to be a longggggg day at work!

(Assuming Amazon delivers it on time $%@#$$!@)

 

[UnrealEck]

So.... the manbearpig quest....

Spoiler

How do I place the defibrillator in the sewer?

It's a pre-determined area you set it at. You attatch it to an item in the scene. You don't go into your menu or anything and select it. It's just a "Press A" button prompt.

 

[Jim]

If they release a ton of DLC, maybe, but I doubt it. They may do a game of the year type thing but they won't do a HD version because you really can't get any more HD with cartoons.

 

[antibolo]

Any PS3 version owners? Does it run OK?

I cancelled my pre-order after seeing the reviews complaining about performance problems in the 360 version. And of course since this is an American multiplatform game, as usual no reviewer appears to have gotten the PS3 version for review, so I have no way of knowing for sure if it's as bad (but I assume it is, because these companies always consider the PS3 version an afterthought).

The PC version apparently has less problems, but I really prefer playing on consoles. Hopefully the current and upcoming patches will fix most of the issues.

 

[Mondy]

Jitters while the game is quick saving are noticeable at first but you get used to them pretty quickly. It is by no means a deal breaker.

I am still in shock that I just played 5 hours of an Obsidian game without encountering a single major bug.

 

[JaseC]

€30 is even cheaper than Nuuvem. Go for it.

Sounds acceptable. I'll probably pick up this game in a store on Friday after work.

 

[backflip10019]

Just picked up my copy. Super excited to play tonight!

 

[UnrealEck]

If you have a decent PC, I really reccomend you buy that version. The loading times are a bit longer on console and there's quite a lot of loading screens. There's also stuttering on consoles which can be avoided. Plus it can be had at a lesser price.
Someone in this thread said it runs frame rate capped on his HD 4670 with a Core 2 Duo.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Are those preorder costumes just packed in with every first run copy? Like if I picked one up now would it have the code inside?

 

[The Technomancer]

Holy shit, watching the Giant Bomb QuickLook, in the Donkey cellar or whatever they got the sound effect for the cheap laughing Halloween decorations exactly right

I need to buy this game

 

[Basileus777]

Shut up Al Gore. Haha.

 

[Tucah]

Man, this game is absolutely everything I wanted it to be. It's kind of surreal to feel like I'm playing an episode of the show but everything looks perfect. The writing is top notch and often very funny, the battle mechanics are very fun and there's a ton of stuff packed in here for a South Park fan like me. I haven't hit any bugs yet but seeing as this is an Obsidian game I expect to see some soon.

 

[El Odio]

I've only skimmed through the last few pages so sorry if it's already been discussed but has anyone else have graphic issues when

You had to break Craig out of school? Anytime a cutscene would play during that quest the screen would just be black while the audio would play.

Thanks Bough it. Any way to unlock it earlier than the official 2 days 1 hour estimate Steam gives? I live in Finland if it is relevant here.

 

[Burgess_101]

Is the GMG version censored if I buy in Germany? I just moved here and am having to get used to bypassing all this ridiculous censorship.

 

[void666]

Got lost in the woods and after a long time aimlessly wandering around

Spoiler

my parents came and grounded me.

Anyway to unlock the fps? 30 fps is making me sick. I took a look in the inis inside the game folder but found nothing fps related.

 

[crun]

So, which class is the most fun to play? Because jew is very tempting lol

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

I can either get this on my Xbox 360, or go for the uncensored PC version.

Problem is my laptop is a Core i3 2367m with HD 3000 graphics chipset, so i'm not quite sure if its enough.

Any advice?

 

[Kid Ska]

i just need to know
can we boo wendy testaburger

 

[Ferrio]

Farting is difficult... don't know what I'm doing wrong.

 

[Andrew.]

Just scored my copy. All the local GS got in were preorders. There was absolutely no regular copies that weren't reserved. Pretty weird.

 

[yatesl]

Just played 70 minutes after using a VPN (hope I don't get banned...)

Very fun!


Edit: I'm disappointed that it's only 30fps on PC. I know it's not a high action game, and it's based on a cartoon itself (so attempts to mimic the animation), but they could still do the same without the frame panning being so choppy.

 

[Andrew.]

I struggled when I did the tutorial, I was thinking I had to find a rhythm with the stick to get it in frequency. I seriously tried it about 8 times before realizing that you just need to move the stick to where the frequency shows up. Like turning the dial on a radio not like trying to match a metronome...

Except there's no actual indicator past the tutorial, just gotta feel for the vibrations... seems finnicky as hell.

Oh, didn't realize that. By the time I finished the fart tutorial I knew it was time for bed so I didn't have a chance to actually use it in battle.

Well I refuse to buy a censored game so I guess ill have to go elsewhere. I can't believe I have to even do this. Its disgusting.

 

[Jim]

The whole metronome part is only for initially learning the fart magics. Once you unlock it, the command in battle is: Right stick down -- (wait for visual indicator) -- Right stick up.
