Broken Sword 3: The Sleeping Dragon

Finally had time to sit down w/ this fantastic game. Loved the prequels and this one seems to be even better than the other two! Conversion into 3D is greatly done too I think, being an old classic adventure enthusiast I was a lil worried about how it would work in 3D.

Only thing that annoys me is that you cant skip dialogues/cutscenes. In the other two you could, but here you have to listen to everything and this didnt bother me until game crashed to desktop for the first time and I hadnt saved for 1h40mins. (no autosave)

Having to replay 1h and 40mins of non-skippable dialogue is a lil frustrating (lemme know if there's a way to actually do skip)

To sum it up, fans of the serie will definitely not be dissapointed. Awesome game for sure!

Yeah I played the demo and it was ok, But there wasnt gamepad support yet

From what I played a gamepad will be great with this game. Do you use a gamepad or the keyboard and mouse?

Yeah, I agree a gamepad would work great w/ this game. controls are almost dedicated to it, altho kb works great too. dont use mouse, cant be used actually.

lemme know if ya come across a way to skip dialogues will ya.

Just finished the game, and all I can say is OMG!!!

Amazing story, intuitive puzzles. This is the absolute best one in the serie! I actually rank this one up w/ "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" & "Zak McKraken".

It's been years since I came across such a fantastic adventure game, don't miss out on this one ppl!
