Thanks, made a ticket.
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.

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.

Is this game open world?

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?

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.
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.

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.
Assuming you've
found your way into the sewer from the open manhole cover, you place it on the machine you find soon after you start exploring the area. You just interact with it

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.
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.

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.
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.

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

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.

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?

Shut up Al Gore. Haha.
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.
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.

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?

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.

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...

PC version isn't censored anywhere
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.
If i read that correctly then swastikas got censored but thats it

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.
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.
