Anyone picking this up for PC today? I bought it on a whim yesterday with the GreenManGaming coupon. I justified it by saying I've felt like crap all week with a stupid cold and this would help me feel better this weekend :P

I bought both of them on Xbox 360 when they were dirt cheap a few years back, but I kept holding out for a PC port.

Got this via ps+ a while back, still haven't played though. Should get around to it, but all these bounties keep distracting me from my "regular" game playing :P

Haha it might be a good bounty candidate so then maybe I'll be motivated enough to actually finish it!

Saw that you were playing this on Steam, I was thinking about picking it up myself, what do you think about it so far?

I only played it for about an hour (and about half of that was creating my character hehe) because I felt like crap, but I'm hoping to dig into it more today. The combat is pretty cool and it's similar to Shadow of the Colossus where you can jump onto larger enemies to attack, which I didn't realize. I stopped right before the game opens up (I think), so I'll post later once I start tackling quests.

As for the port itself, it seems very good, except some of the menus are...odd. But you can set a bunch of graphics options and rebind the controls, so that's enough for me.

Played it some on XBOX360 and now owning it on Steam, just fired it up and it looks a lot better. Gameplay is basically the same and yeah the fight with the Criminea(?) in the beginning is a nice intro into the game :) And grabbing and holding the damn thing while beating it is sooooooooooo satisfying \o/

I've played for about 4 hours and I'm really enjoying it so far. It has some interesting twists on the action RPG formula and although it's not nearly as punishing as Dark Souls, it will definitely make you pay if you aren't paying attention. I reaaaaally need to increase my fire resistance (assuming that's even possible), haha!

Anyways, I went ahead and created a bounty for this since several of us have it (I know jwcooley has it too). To arms, everyone!

Well.... only took me two years to finally beat South Park. Need to start something new now, the bounty talked me into it. Hopefully this one doesn't take me as long to get around to finishing!
