I just bought Broken Sword 3 for the Xbox
I wanted to buy it for the PC but the xbox version was about 10 dollars cheaper. My question(s) is, is there a big difference between the xbox and pc version? And I loved teh first BS, but I hated the second one. Will I enjoy this one? BTW before anybody says anything, I know about the crate puzzles.

The big thing is that the load times for the xbox version are terrible.

i think so aswell.
with halo the entire map is'nt compleated on one load, it loads more of the level when you have an "auto save" or check point. |

The game was originally designed with consoles in mind. The entire control system was intented to be used with a controller not a keyboard and mouse. I can't imagine that the loading times would be excessively huge.

Wow, here in the US BS3 on PC can be found for 20 dollars while the XBOX version is 30 to 40 dollars consistantly.

California indeed has a crazy high cost of living. And 8.64% sales tax, g_g.

But I agree about the dollar not going as far. My last year in college (1999) I paid $1000 for a 4-bedroom apartment in Providence. I swore to myself I would NEVER pay more than that for an apartment. 3 months out of college I signed my lease on my first place in SF - $1200 for a studio. :eek: Housing prices have gotten better in the past few years, but other cost of living stuff has stayed the same... -emily ps Cap'n Blondebeard, where in Cali are you? ps2 To get back on topic - good buy on the used game, Coop! I hardly ever buy new anymore unless I'm getting a REALLY good deal (like Missing for $10 the other day at Circuit City). But I am usually buying older games, too. I am willing to spend a little more for new ones just so I can play them while they're still relatively new... |
