Very. I've been ordering from them for years as have a few boardsies on the Playstation forum. They take about 7-10 working days to deliver but the plus side is you will almost never have to pay customs fees.

Feckin VPN randomly stopped working. My location is spoofed as Delaware when I check my IP, but steam is showing everything in euro. The game crashes on launch

Once you get the game to run once using a VPN put and keep steam in offline mode and you can ditch the VPN completely. As long as you don't bring Steam back online you can keep playing it.

I'm really enjoying this at the moment. Haven't come across any bugs (on PC) and the only bad things I found is that it's incredibly linear and there's no challenge to solving any quest (other than briefly trying to see where on the map you have to go to), and the combat is really easy, even on the hard difficulty setting.

But other than that it's a fun interactive South Park episode. A lot of really well thought out jokes and plenty aimed at computer games. I've gotten to the first section that was censored (

Randy in the UFO

) and to be honest, it's fairly tame by South Park standards but still funny. It's the kind of game that South Park fans will love and non-South Park fans will just get bored of. When it comes time to think about what your favourite game of the year was, this one won't be remembered.

Agree with most of that. Enjoying it for what it is but if you're not a South Park fan then stay well away.

The RPG model really isn't a good one at all and the difficulty is a mess. Hardcore should have been the first difficulty however I find myself laughing and smiling constantly and I'm definitely having fun with it so far.

I disconnected from the VPN while still connected to steam without thinking. I think that may have screwed me. Well I've my fix any way, so I can wait another week now

I haven't played a RPG in a while but in fairness there is a surprising amount of depth in the fights / equipment combination / perks etc.. although be it a bit streamlined.
I like the button press timing of some of the attacks.
I actually died a couple of times on hardcore last night but the reason being I would say is because these guys were a couple of levels above me.
I'm loving the humor although it is typical South Park humor.

Sank a couple of hours into it (up to

The boss battle with Jimmy

and I've loved every second of it. So many injokes, so many laugh out loud moments. I've never been a big RPG fan and it's testing my patience a bit in this, but the south park charm is getting me through. Looking forward to playing through the rest of it.

Got stuck when aliens abducted me....I can't stop them anal probing me I seem to be too slow hitting that "s" button So annoying, was quite enjoying the game up till this part.

irishmover

Use the spoiler button please... Or guess I should stop clicking into this thread until I've finished the game.

Enjoying the game so far. Stopped after 1.5 hours played. Had one issue where I had to exit the game on my PS3. Exited a house and was simply stuck on the loading screen. It wasn't froze but left it for 5 minutes and it was still stuck. Simple restart and was back at the foot again so not much of an issue.

When is this actually released on PC steam over here? I have it bought and downloaded and the damned thing wont let me play. I'll proxy if I have to but really.....whats the damned problem?

In this day and age, we shouldn't have release restrictions on PC.

It's out tomorrow in Europe. It's not really a restriction, it's just when the game comes out. They must allow you to pre-load the game which is a positive I would have thought.

It is a release restriction lobbied for by brick and mortar stores. They still push publishers to keep the traditional release days of tuesday in the states and friday in Europe so they don't have to compete with digital distribution services giving people access before they can provide enough physical copies to sell

Where's the cheapest for a PC purchase?

It's earlier in parts of Europe, a lot are getting it today.

It was meant to be out today in Germany but they ****ed up and were about to put out the swastika version.

I'm sold by this game. Everything on the spaceship was hilarious. Randy, Mr. Slave, Mr. Mackey, the impossible button combinations to save Randy, the homage to video game tropes in the audio recordings and Randy's unexplainable knowledge of the ship. Had me in stitches.

Also does anyone know where they got the audio for

the nazis? It sounds suspiciously like audio taken straight out of some of Hitler's speeches, or at least a recreation of that. Or am I wrong?

snausages

The rps review said it was real recordings, which is why that parts been censored in Germany

SeantheMan

That whole section was brilliant ! Moo moo moo ?! also my other fave part so far is...

Al gore popping up !!!.....super serial !!

Anyone

Got to play this for an hour last night and I'm quite impressed so far. Its just like being part of an official south park episode and I'm loving just walking around the town. The humor is classic south park and I've already had a few unexpected LOL moments.

I can see why people have said it's just an rpg-lite and combat is very basic but it does the job fine for me and is more or less there to advance the story.

So far so good but my biggest compliment to the game is that I can't wait to finish work so I can go home and play it some more!

Not really a spoiler question but

what do you do with all the junk around? I've been collecting and selling it mostly but I've also thought it may be used for parts for a weapon or similar?

The guy bought a European version on Steam. He wanted to know why his wasn't working.

Now I ask again, what are you ****ing on about?

VPNs, you can pretend you are in the states or various other places in the world to get access to games earlier

You seem to be missing the point too...

The guy I was originally talking to had bought the EU game on Steam. He wanted to know why his European game wasn't working. The reason was because it wasn't out in Europe until Friday and not something he had done wrong.

I wasn't going to suggest VPN's because that's not what was asked and not something I recommend just to play a game a day earlier.

Does the PC version need a controller or is keyboard and mouse fine?

Keyboard and mouse works but can't change keybindings.

Doesn't need a controller and keyboard will work fine, but using an xbox 360 joypad is far better and more enjoyable in my opinion and that's how I have been playing the game.

RobbingBandit

Argos have the Official wired pad in stock for €31.99, just reserved one for myself now.

Great so what your saying is you have just been dragging this trhough for a couple of pages now just to make a pedantic point? GJ..... i was simply trying to be helpful by answering a question..... lesson learned

Wasn't dragging anything through, one to him and one to you. Is that not allowed? You clearly needed an explanation so I gave you one! The guy who originally replied to me was trying to be a dick. When I myself, was just trying to be helpful to the person wondering why their European Steam game wasn't unlocked!

SherlockWatson

Very enjoyable game I must say.

Both. If you don't have a 360 wired PC controller, but have a PS3 controller and USB lead, you can plug it in and with MotionInJoy program you can set it to read like a 360 controller. You just gotta remember the corresponding button. (ie O is A). Perhaps I've saved someone a few quid and getting pants on!

I'm liking this as an interactive South Park experience but I'm already bored of the game after an hour or so... It's just not particularly interesting/fun/challenging.

Once you hit around level 5 it starts to get good. Not challenging but enjoyable.

Actually finding it hard to put down to be honest..
