And boy, it sure is a slow paced game. I've been playing with a buddy of mine, and even though we spent 3-4 hours playing today, it doesn't really feel like we accomplished much (aside from finding shotgun ammo whilst fishing, even though we have yet to acquire a shotgun). We got to one spot where we had to wait until 15:00 for a town meeting to occur, so we showed up and figured we'd just wait around for an in-game hour. We figured out that an in-game minute is equal to 20 seconds of real world time.  
 
But the story is actually intriguing, and it's hilarious, so it's worth it.

Many of the problems in the game, you'll find, are gotten rid of the more you play into it-normally after an extreme case of what was wrong with it in the first place.

I bought the game with a friend. Definitely worth it. Although, he was pretty upset when I spent about a half hour around town, collecting cards. I told him that we're getting all the achievements.
