Around 20-25 quid on key sites (pc)

No idea how it's forty fucking quid on steam...

Cheers, ended up going for £28 from Amazon. That Steam price is a joke.

General summary of reviews I've seen is that it's a solid RPG with a few flaws and a little easy but it catches the style of the show to a tee, making it extremely funny.

Ah well you live by your decisions, just hoping TLOU comes out on PSN for PS4 as I haven't played that either.

Omg the Mr Slave summon

game so far is quite fun, just been doing lots of exploring, some well funny bits in it, and the music in certain shops has great nostalgia!!!

Baraka · « **Reply #52 on:** March 6, 2014, 03:34:39 am »

finished it earlier today, great and really funny overall, only downside is its a little short imo.

Kashinoda · « **Reply #53 on:** March 6, 2014, 07:13:21 am »

Far too short in my opinion, took me about 10 hours.

Lovely little game though.

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #54 on:** March 6, 2014, 07:27:34 am »

Even though it's a simplistic rpg, 10 hours is lame

You don't spend any time levelling up, and your enemies dynamically adjust (within reason) to match you. I get why they've done it and to be honest it felt right for the game, the pacing is good throughout. The combat is still fun, though I'd whack the difficulty up a notch.

I wanted another hour or two though, it's very well done and I'm greedy.

How long did it take you?

Hoping for more than 10 hours as well. Was that with a lot of side missions/stuff or just main story?

I did most of the side quests as well, 10-12 hours sounds about right, which is a shame.

Any replayability in being able to finish side quests, etc. or do you have to start from scratch (no spoilers please lol)?

When you finish the story it turns into new game plus and you can finish the quests then.

I went into this having seen the reviews and didn't expect amazing gameplay.

I love South Park and can honestly say that the 7 hours I've spent on it today are well justified. The gameplay is simplistic, in a browser game turn based rug way, but it's always at the very least interesting.

8/10 for me.

iSmiff · « **Reply #64 on:** March 9, 2014, 02:34:41 am »

how many dildos does one woman need

Flash6289 · « **Reply #65 on:** March 10, 2014, 12:07:09 pm »

Completed it over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Spent about 13 hours completing the main story and every side quest I could find (apart from finding all 6 toddlers). Only downside now is there's no real replay value for me unless I started it again and went for all friends, costumes/equipment and chinpokomon(?) and the only way you can get everything is with guides it seems.

Wlleiotl · « **Reply #66 on:** March 10, 2014, 08:21:22 pm »

i got all weapons and only missed one chinpokemon without a guide, theres only so much you can do in each area, unfortunately you cant get all friends without all chinpokemon

incredible game, great fun and fair play to them for not adding 10 hours in dungeon fights, which they could have done quite comfortably

Paronomasia · « **Reply #67 on:** March 10, 2014, 10:22:26 pm »

There's a few other missable friends as well, including Lemmiwinks and Big Gay Al. Those two are both in areas you can't get back to after completing the quests, and there's also a side quest which gives you a police officer friend which you have to do before you get rid of the zombies.

RivaGe · « **Reply #68 on:** March 11, 2014, 01:37:59 pm »

Finished it today (took 13 hours), side quests you can finish after the game (found only 5 of 6 hobos), only found half of all costumes

Great laugh, but a bit too easy, dies only 2 or 3 times on the hardest difficulty.

yes, but i was disputing the 'only possible with guides' part, some of these are only missable in the loosest possible sense, like big gay al, and nothing is hidden away to the extent collectables are in most games of this type

No idea why some of you guys raced through the game in 20 minutes or whatever.

Started last Friday and am taking my time, enjoying it. Exploring everywhere, talking to everyone.

Only playing for 2-3 hours or so in the evenings but I must have spent at least 15-16 hours on it now and still some way to go I think.

The game will likely be a bit shite anyway, so just think of the savings

Very happy to be dead wrong on this, what an absolute breath of fresh air of a game. Love it.

Me too. I am just exploring. Talking to everyone and just taking my time. Its such a fun and brilliant game. Feels like I am in an episode of South Park myself.

This is £18.50 in Tesco for anyone looking to pick it up. Until the 23rd April the price ticket said.

Brilliant game, took me around 3 days playing on & off to complete, the European hidden scenes part pissed me off but I had YouTube for that! Paid £37 at Game on release now I can get it for £20 ish

But hey-ho, worth it anyway!
