Krisko Disko Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'm trying to figure out if this is the kind of game that's worth the purchase (has great replay value) or I should just rent for a few days on Redbox. It's my understanding that the game has only about fifteen hours of playtime, which is enough for me to crush through in three or four rental days. Thanks for any advice.

Krisko Disko Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 definitely worth buying, but if you're just wanting it to smash through the game and get the achievements then I would recommend just renting it I'm not much of an achievement junkie, I just enjoy the added value they give. So for me it's all about the game experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jswartz0181 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The game is fun and hilarious. If you're enough of a South Park fan where you'd want to play it years down the road like you might want to watch the movie or a given season on DVD, obviously it's a buy. If you're not a big fan (or are just a casual fan) and would be okay with playing it one or two times (I got three playthrus in in a week's time), then never playing it again, rent it. It really is something of an interactive episode, so just keep that in mind when making your decision. That, or you could rent it, and if you really enjoy it and want it like you might any other SP medium, you can then buy it later when it goes on sale/sees a price drop.

cobular12590 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this game. But I don't know if it's quite worth the $60 price tag. There's not a ton of replay value here to me once you 100%. Absolutely recommend for any South Park fan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenutman69321 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 It's a great game for a South Park fan but as much as I loved it I regret paying $60 for it. For this type of game it is very short. Rental or wait for a big price drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeAddict5 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 It's a great game for a South Park fan but as much as I loved it I regret paying $60 for it. For this type of game it is very short. Rental or wait for a big price drop. Yeah it could easily be a rental, but I don't regret spending the $60 at all. I have two sons that want to play it when I'm done and then I'll loan it to a couple of people from work depending on what they have to lend back. It's a great trader.

iBuzz7S Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks to Ubisoft and their atrocious customer service, I am going to rent the game and not give them a single cent. Plus, with how short the game can be and replay value not being so high, it makes it an easier decision. Such a huge South Park fanboy, but not giving Ubisoft my money for this one.

PainOfDemise Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 It's worth the purchase. It's a great game to add to your collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Bridge Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Rental. It's a funny well-made game and a must for South Park fans but if you use a good guide you can finish the campaign in 12-15 hours with 1000GS and I don't know why you would go back and play it again.

Fabioo Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 It's a good game but it's pretty short and has little to no replay value. I would rent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x MOOSE 187 x Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 If you're a South Park fan buy it, if not rent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisko Disko Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks everybody, I decided to rent it and see how I liked it, and thus far it's great. I'll probably finish this playthrough on a rental, then wait for the price to drop drastically and purchase it on the cheap. I appreciate all the input.

Classic Jackson Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 It was defo worth the 60 bucks to play it right away when it was released but I'm sure it'll be in those value bins within a few months, games priceless for long-time South Park fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades no1Minion Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Simply put, if you're a South Park fan, it's a must buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR874 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Rental. U clould play though the game multipal times as the different classes but the classes dont differ that much. Any class can use any weapon or armor set so the only thing different about the classes are the 5 skills u can use in battle. Just be warned that some collectables and achievments are missable so be prepared if ur going for 1000G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polish Xtremist Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I would say buy. but my friends say rental, one thing for sure is its a must play if you like south park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djallar Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I agree with it being a "must play" but I'm not sure I could recommend buying it unless you're a completionist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSipuli91 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Every South Park fan should buy it. If you're not a fan of the show, then I guess renting or not playing it at all is enough. I mean, I don't think it's a must play game. The jokes alone make it so, not tom netion it's nothing ground breaking. But for a South Park fan it'll be heaven!

Cookiecaek Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I don't regret buying it for a second. Even though I paid lower than half the price for it. South Park fans definitely should. So much quoting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmiznurf Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 It's worth a buy but at a decent price. I definitely wouldn't have paid full price for it even with doing 2 playthroughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slackey4318 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I like South Park, but this is not a long game and with a good guide, you can get everything in one playthrough. And once you know the story, there's really no incentive to play again. All the classes don't have much differentiation to them. Nevertheless, it's a great game, but I would wait to buy it until it has come down in price. Ultimately, whether you watch South Park is the reason to buy this. Being a fan of the show, though not necessary to enjoy the story and game, will make the experience exponentially better as you play as you'll get all the jokes and references (ex. the meaning behind all the stuff in the kids' closets).

KILLSHOT666 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I rented. Plenty of time to 1000 point it, but will buy when in the bargain bins just to add to collection, hilarious game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
