I bought this game because of the Endurance Run, and I just recently finished it.
 
Took me 20 hours, 49 minutes, and 11 seconds.
 
I'll continue to watch the Endurance Run, because I'd love to see the crew's reaction to the CRAZY ASS STUFF that happens in the game.... I will also probably curse at the screen whenever they do something dumb in the game (this will likely happen a lot while watching the BR run :P).
 
I really like the game, by the way. Sure, it's not a GREAT game, but for 20 dollars, there's decent content. Now...I gotta play through it 2 more times in order to S-rank this bitch!

"Now...I gotta play through it 2 more times in order to S-rank this bitch! "

What are the achievements like?  I've been wondering why the Endurance runs haven't been unlocking any, just assumed they had notifications turned off... and haven't bothered looking them up. -_-

20 hours? Holy shit, is the game really that long?

Do us all a favor...fire. 
 
Stop hating on Brad.

Yeah in Seroth's defense here I have been playing the game as well.  Brad is really getting messed up by things that aren't all that dangerous, in a way Vinny has gotten worked a couple times too.  Wait until they start encountering shot gun zombies like two at a time but now it is in open areas and they have normal zombies standing in front of them.  Or some of the quasi "bosses" in the game....

The fact that you said you somehow actually like this game makes me think it broke your taste in video games however.   
 
I don't think I could make it through twenty minutes of this game, nevermind 20 hours, so hats off to you for dedication at least. 
 
@FrankCanada97: True, though P4 is actually one of the best RPGs in recent memories, so the length is less an issue with a good game I think.

I'd say the game is comparable to something like Silent Hill. Silent Hill games have always had terrible combat, but always have a super crazy interesting story that compels you to keep playing. 'course, Silent Hill games also tend to have pretty graphics, which Deadly Premonition does not.
 
No More Heroes is a similar game. The combat in NMH was super repetitive, and not that polished. The graphics were, "eh", and the open world in Deadly Premonition is about a million times better than that of NMH. But the game was so crazy, that  you just had to keep playing.
 
And, again, the game is 20 dollars, and I remember paying 50 dollars for No More Heroes.
 
@YellowKing: 
Yeah, I didn't do all the sidequests. I did the "essential ones" to get the radio, the infinite wrench, and the infinite SMG, as well as any other sidequests that I just happened upon while playing through the game normally.  I'm actually in the process of trying to get all the trading cards. It's pretty annoying how you can't save when you replay a chapter unless you beat it again...

I can vouch for the time. My time and approach to the sidequests was identical to the Seroth's. I liked the game and find myself defending it from the haters. I do actually plan to clean up the cards one day but I don't know about going through two more playthroughs to S rank it though.

I beat it last night.  Missed a couple of the more obscure side missions, but it took me about 30 hours.  Gotta say, I love-love-LOVED the ending.  Super satisfying! 
 
@fox01313: Use the shotgun on them.  You also might want to do the second Psychic Spot side mission before it's too late (the game becomes linear until the Epilogue starting at Episode 4) and the two sidequests from Brian because those will give you two weapons that will make things a lot easier.

In all honesty, as much as I want to move on to the next game, I'm considering New Game+ing this sucker now that I have the best weapon in the game. :P

" @mutha3 Well for one, I don't have it.  And for two, that makes no sense whatsoever.

How can a sword be better than a MOTHERFUCKING ROCKET LAUNCHER?!  That defies every single law of the universe I have learned in my time on this earth.

Finally S-ranked this game!

1. Can you get the "complete the game on ___ difficulty" achievement simply by replaying Epilogue on another difficulty?
2. How do you get the trading card that's by the well at White Spruce Farm?

Two questions for you: 

1. Can you get the "complete the game on ___ difficulty" achievement simply by replaying Epilogue on another difficulty?
2. How do you get the trading card that's by the well at White Spruce Farm?

"  The card you get when it's raining. I haven't beaten it so I can't help on the first one. "
