I really want it on GOG :S

God, they had to pick the worst possible DRM.
If it had been standard Steam DRM,I would have tolerated it. But Denuvo..no way.


It also has a 45 gigs of harddrive space requirement. Look, I understand wanting modern graphics for the game. But that much hard drive space for a point and click adventure game. The most current First Person Shooters don't require that much space.......
You can want all you like, but you ain't getting in on GOG anytime soon.

The game's reception is mixed as to story and gameplay, but almost unansimous that there are major technical prolems with the controls;it seems to almost unplayable with mouse and keyboard, which is freaking amazing for a game whose main following are PC gamers.

That sounds like a good reason to wait for a big patch and sales. I probably would have pre-ordered it, but I didn't because it wasn't on GOG and I thought that 40€ is bit much, especially considering the quality of recent Microïds adventures, like Dracula 4 and 5.

Definitely a let down. Microids spent money for DRM that was cracked days later instead of spending money to make the damned game! Worse yet, they didn't just pay for any ol' DRM, they payed for Denuvo! The cracked version is reported to load and run faster, by the way, so people who say that it isn't effecting performance need to reevaluate what it means for DRM to not impact game play.

As much as I dislike Denuvo, the big technical problem with Syberia 3 is the Mouse and Keyborad control is a disaster. In fact, they recommend you use a Console Controller. For a P anc C adventure game, this was a crazy decision.

It sounds like they made a very poor decision. While I do not accept software piracy, the fact is that DRM causes problems only to the paying customers. DRMs do not prevent piracy, because there is no DRM which cannot be cracked. And in the worst case scenarios, even the paying customers have to crack their games, because the buggy DRMs prevent playing.

I hope that they manage to solve those mouse and keyboard issues before the game hits the sales, because I have no intention to buy console controller and learn to use one.

And the gamplay aspect of the game are getting a very mixed reception. The voice acting is taking a beating,and that very important for a game that is as story oriented as the Syberai games.

There really is no excuse for using DRM anymore. The so-called threat of piracy has never and will never justify the use of garbage like Denuvo. Especially when the cracked versions run so much better. This has been seen numerous times with both EA and Ubisoft games.

Given the fact that Steam (where it's currently available) is its own form of DRM, the need for secondary and (more importantly) hotly criticized DRM is just absurd. Its almost as bad as buying a game on Steam and then having to make an account on the developer's website (which still happens sometimes).

However, that said, I really am kind of disappointed that so many people are experiencing problems with the game itself. I quite enjoyed the first two and was excited to hear of the third's upcoming release (earlier this year). As someone else said I'll probably wait until Winter or even maybe next year; see if the devs sort that shit out. I don't have an issue with requiring controllers for a lot of games, but it's clunky as hell for a P&C game. I went through that back in the PS1 era.

EDIT: Hopefully by then it'll be here on GOG, which is where I own the first two games. I -prefer- to keep my series together in one place just for organization's sake, but that didn't happen with Broken Sword, unfortunately.
