Lucky you. It will take at least a month until the localized version is released here >:( Hopefully the english version will be available sooner.

EDIT: Not a month, TWO months!

Now that's a good price :) I wonder which game you'll like better ;)

Yeah, in the credits they showed only 4 translations (German, Spanish, French, Italian). Oh, and they credited to deadworm222, really! :)

Chances are good, GK3 will surprise me now.

I am THAT disappointed by Broken Sword 3.

I just finished it in about 11-12 hours and... well, what a hard work must they have done for this very nice "movie", really nice graphics and characters and scenes and camera movement! Even great music, so I couldn't stop playing. And I don't know why, maybe I was that impressed of the 3D environment and the camera movement. But what else ? Maybe the great (German) voice of Nico ? (Which is also the translator voice of "Scully" from the "X-Files" in German...)

The few puzzles are almost ridiculous easy, if there are some. And the story... welllll... dunno, it's not too bad I guess. I even discovered a bug (there is a sentence in your logbook, before you gathered that information... which was quite irritating).

And that F****** keyboard/gamepad control really sucks. I could have lived with keyboard control, but it's programmed in a really stupid way.

Anyway it was fun playing it, maybe the game quality of the BF 1+2 was just too good to reach it again.

I need to get a beer! Thirsty (and sick) of about one million "move-the-boxes"-puzzles. Hooray.  :(

Someone wants to buy a 2 days old German version of BF3 ?  :P

Really? Hehe, cool! ;D

Ow, well, from what I've heard there some extra irritating bits for us around here, because part of the game takes place in Czech Republic, where George runs by an old Trabant and the guards are talking with a russian accent :o  ;D

Sokoban 3D? ;)

I'd buy it but I'm afraid I wouldn't enjoy it in german :) I'll have to wait for the english version. (yes, I'm buying it anyway :P)

The good thing is that there is no way you can finish GK3 in 12 hours  ;D

Well, I couldn't differentiate between Czech and Russian accent anyway I guess, but I understand what you mean... ! I laughed about the Trabant, too... I drove one after the German wall came down. ;)

Yeah, indeed a good comparison...

Sure, you should buy it, it's not that bad after all, just a little disappointing for me.

Cool. I installed it yesterday and had a first look into. Well, the good thing is that they used the 3D environment for free movements, very good. But I still have to get used to that "old" 3D textures look... in that point BF3 is quite advanced. ;)

I dunno, for me the character art and the interiors in GK3 still look state-of-the-art. The outside locations are awful, but that's a problem of many other games.

I have to agree that the textures are awfull with today's standards but overall the game is great!

(And you don't want me to say my opinion about the user interface with the free camera movement once again.... do you?)

Am I famous or what? Yes. I am.

I still haven't bought the game, though... ! It wouldn't run on my current machine anyway (the demo showed a gray screen and freezed.)
