They just showed a video on Comedy Central of a dungeon that takes place in Mr. Slaves ass.

Someone's got to jump the embargo. The game is out.

I've been playin it for about 2 hours. Do far it's really great but humor can change. Hopefully they can keep it up

Works with in-home streaming...I'm streaming it wirelessly to a Macbook and using a wireless Xbox 360 controller that is hooked up to the host machine, but in a different part of the house. THE FUTURE.

This game seems like it's particularly well suited to streaming since it appears to be locked at 30fps.

Oh wow, it got a 9 from IGN.

IGN gave it a 9.0!

Guess IGN decided embargoes don't apply to them. I'm not shocked.

It's IGN. I'm not surprised.

@kishinfoulux: Alright then!

8/10 from Destructoid!

Recommends if you like South Park; if you don't, then probably won't enjoy it!!

I don't know why I'm exclaiming that!!!

Kotaku says "Not Yet" thanks to technical issues and glitches getting in the way of a "great game". Wait until they fix it before purchasing.

Sounds... like reasonable advice.

5 stars from Alex huh? Kind of shocked by the scores honestly. Always got the impression that Southpark was done and people were over it.

5 from Alex!

@kishinfoulux: The game has been released and is available for purchase. Usually publications don't give a fuck about embargoes that are lifted AFTER the game comes out.

They were the only one who did it. And gave it a great score/review. That Ubisoft check cleared I guess.

@kishinfoulux: I guess their check to Giant Bomb just cleared too.

great scores, my body is ready

About 12-13 hours? Sounds alright. Long enough to feel like something substantial but not long enough to get sick of it.

I'm not a big South Park fan, but I'm glad the game appears to be good for the average fan.

(also, it sounds like the PC release is the way to go right now. The console versions are apparently pretty framey)

Polygon gave it a 8.5.

So, seems pretty common praise. Though, I do keep hearing the sentiment that it's a good game that needs some fixing. Polygon couldn't even finish it without the developer stepping in to get them past a glitch. Maybe the day 1 patch will be enough for most people.

I found their roundup of some bugs from other reviewers interesting:

Bugs

When I ran into a save issue while playing the game, I started talking to other reviewers and journalists with access to The Stick of Truth about what they’d experienced while playing. Here’s a collected summary:

Ben Kuchera, Polygon (PC): A glitch where he was unable to unequip his bow-and-arrow, disappearing character models.

Jim Sterling, The Escapist (PC): A bug with executing a buddy command that temporarily halted progress.

Adam Rosenberg, Digital Trends (PC): Two game-breaking moments where boss fights didn’t trigger properly.

Jason Schreier, Kotaku (360): Frame hitches, animation glitches and music dropouts.

Mitch Dyer, IGN (PS3): Poor framerate.

Though there were no shortage of issues, most agreed that the bugs didn’t hamper their overall experience. That said, whenever a game has such widespread and disparate problems, it’s a worrying indicator that there might be more serious issues that appear when the game is rolled out to a larger audience.

Giant Bomb didn't post their review until the designated time. Only a few minutes, but it's still a thing. I think that's shitty.

Full of glitches. 9/10.

So Obsidian makes good games riddled with technical problems?

I guess at least they're keeping up a pattern.

heh. You're a pretty salty dude, kishin.

At least the game is apparently good once you get past the technical issues. PC seems to be the best bet.

Damn you European release schedule, I'll have to wait until Friday.

So far in the first 60-90 minutes of the Steam version I encountered two instances in combat where I had to force quit the game and ended up losing a little progress. In both instances it was after blocking attacks and before I was able to counterattack, the game just hangs.

That embargo stuff just pisses me off. As for the reviews glad it turned out well, but like I said just odd that there are so many glitches (well not odd when you consider who made it) and it's still receiving high scores. It's why I can't take reviews seriously.

Looks like the german and austrian version was delayed because ubisoft fucked up to remove all nazi symbols. This does not only include the console versionbs but the PC versions as well. NEw date will be announced.

@devitiffany: Wouldn't really make sense in the context of the show, the boys and girls don't play together much.
