    An hour long quick-look should be fine, it wouldn't last too long I think as an endurance run. And for the next ER, I think most are after something that will last them till the next generation like the last one.

    The game is ripe for commentary and satire, so, yeah, I'd love an ER.

    Given that this game is supposed to be "bad", then the word "Endurance" would definitely be the correct way to label any extended look at the game. 
     
    How long can Jeff and Vinny last while playing Deadly Premonition?  Will they make it through the whole thing?  Stay tuned and find out! 
     
    Yeah, that sounds about right.  Endurance isn't just about time length, ya know.

    I've heard anywhere from 20-40 hours. Though that's quite a discrepancy in time.

    Either way, I really wouldn't mind seeing a bad game in action at the hands of two crude dudes, or more even.

    I've also heard that the game is anywhere between 20 and 40 hours. Apparently, there are tons of sidequests if you're willing to go out and explore the town a bit.

    only problem is this game drowns out its voiceacting with music already, and they usually have the game volume really low in the quicklooks... so will we be able to hear the magical voiceacting?

    I'd say an extended look. Maybe two or three. Then they get angry and throw stuff. If It's going to be endurance run, it has to be an epic epic game.

    That game seems real weird and sorta terrible in spots, but it also has some really interesting ideas that put it above the usual budget release.   
     
    Basically, it meets my personal ER criteria of being a game I want to watch somebody beat but not actually play or spend money on!

    If you just run through and focus exclusively on the main storyline, it'll take you about 20 hours. If you do absolutely everything the game has to offer, it's 40 hours. The 1UP reviewer did all the sidequests and his play time ended up at something like 42 hours. I'm willing to bet if the guys do an endurance run of this they'll probably not realize there are sidequests, so I'd bank on a 20-some hour play time for them. I say that because the game doesn't make sidequests glaringly obvious.  For a lot of the main story missions the game sort of pushes you through them one after another, but you can walk away and go exploring, though it's not immediately apparent. I found out by accident.  And sidequests are often unmarked, making it necessary to walk around and talk to people at random. I don't know if they'll have the patience to do that, and I don't know how long it'll take them to figure out that you can break away from the main story.

    Pretty much this, except to me compared to P4, I'm not sure it could hold up to an ER if the guys couldn't cope with bad controls or something similar

    I don't think they would do an Endurance Run of a game that just came out, but I could be wrong.

    Deadly Premonition is published by Ignition Entertainment.  Perhaps friend of Giantbomb and employee of Ignition (clue: Blane Shettenhausen)  had some influence on the decision to ER.  Perhaps its simply a legality go-ahead.  Perhaps it has nothing to do with it at all.

    But you DO give two shits about watching Jeff and Vinny make hilarious commentary about a hilariously bad game...so an Endurance Run is necessary.

    No one else so will play this game, so the Giant Bomb crew must do an Endurance  Run. They play it, so we don't have to.

    I would not want to see an endurance run of  a poorly reviewed game. I am quite satisfied with an extended quick look. Although when you think about it, "Endurance Run" means they play the game until they just can't take it anymore so....

    The problem I have with an Endurance Run is that seeing most of the humor will involve the player just saying, "Fuck it, instead of going through the main storyline, I'm just going to drive around." Even then, certain quests have numerous prerequisites that are hard to fulfill unless they really go out of their way to complete them.

    Endurance Run, it's needed and a shorter game would not be too much of a hog for the staff now, 100hours of Person 4 pretty was pretty much the "concorde" moment, i doubt we'll see an ER like it again.

    @Gizmo: Having read the Destructoid review, I want to buy the game.  I've said this before and I'll say it again, this is a brand new game that should have some time to sell before everyone just watches it instead.  Persona 4 was out long enough and was a well enough established franchise that the Run didn't hurt its sales, but I'm not so certain about this one, especially given how little they are selling it for.  
     
    If we want a sequel to this game or just want the studio responsible to make more games, we should be playing this thing ourselves; not watching other people do it online.  I do think, however, that an Endurance Look or a Mini Run, something that doesn't go beginning to end, would actually benefit this game.

    @YellowKing: Endurance run made me buy persona 4 after watching all of it. If Deadly Premonition is the featured game in the next ER then I'm sure there will be some sales made.
