Broken Sword 3 savegame
B B
My computer just crashed :(. Fortunately I didn't lose anything
important (thank God for regular backups) apart from my Broken Sword 3
savegames.
I've been about four hours in the game, in the part when Nico and
George come to Congo together (Congo 2 I think it is). I REALLY don't
want to play through all that again and would be extremely thankful if
somebody mailed me a Congo 2 start savegame (or at least a savegame
which is before it, but close. Theater would be nice).
Thanks in advance!

I know exactly what you mean. I'm replaying the game for the second time
now and I have to say that while I didn't really mind the box-sliding
puzzles and just about tolerated avoid-the-guards puzzles the first time
round, they're a real drag the second time. If anything I'd say it actually
has *negative* replay value - you seriously begin to question how you had so
much fun the first time round after that dreadful see-saw balancing
bore-fest in Congo 2, or getting from one side of the chapel to the other
THREE TIMES IN A ROW in Montfaucon... The dreadful camera-relative motion
makes those puzzles worse still.
One other niggle is the physics - there's simply no way a single human being
could ever shift those enormous cubes of masonry in the congo level, they
must weigh a colossal amount!
I keep imagining the first puzzle of Broken Sword 4 will be escaping from
hospital after a hernia operation :-)

I'm sorry, I just realised I misinterpreted your post - I may have posted a
couple of moderate spoilers as a result.
I'm really sorry.

whether they have Broken Swaord 3 is another story....

so good he sent me a savegame for the beggining of EVERY chapter. And
they say there's no good people on the net anymore...
As for the replay value of Broken Sword 3, I must say it's
non-existent. They really overused the box-sliding puzzles, so that
the game could have easily had the name "Broken Sword 3: George meets
Sokoban". I know that adventure games aren't here for the replay
value, but looking retrospectively I think a few things are a must for
the next Broken Sword:
1) (and this one's a biggie) Ability to skip cut-scenes. Oh, the
pain when you press NEW GAME accidently...
2) Ability to skip dialogue (turn subtitles on, read what the guy
says and press space to see the next line. Monkey Island anyone?)
3) NO MORE BOXES!! If you must use the push-pull puzzles that are
oh so joyful to solve then at least use more imagination! This was a
Tomb Raider 1 deja vu - in the middle of the bloody mountain there's
some ancient artifacts and - lo and behold - two perfect cubes lying
perfectly and geommetrically aligned. Yay, let the push-fest begin!
Other than that, I must say that I really love BS3. If nothing, there
are really no more good adventure games around, so this is like a
glass of water in the desert (but it's on a very high palm tree so you
have to push a few conviently cube-shaped stones that are lying around
for no apparent reason into place to reach it).
Cheers!
