I do hate cliffhangers!

I especially hate them when there is no follow-up game to resolve the cliff hanger - A Vampyre Story is my most disappointing cliff hanger.

Especially in games, where a sequel with a satisfying ending can take years.
If it ever appears at all.
Kate and Oscar deserved a better ending than that.

They are working on ironing out legal issues to get rights to continue it.

Really?! That's good news... I knew there were some attempts to work on it, but I thought they had given up long ago.

Nope, follow the directions found on here to help make it reality! https://www.facebook.com/avampyrestory/

Thank you for that news, BrownEyedTigre

I bought the game as soon as it was released but refrained from playing it once I learned it didn't have a proper ending. And it still sits on my notorious "unplayed" stack

So, I might one day be able to play "a whole Vampyre Story" after all.

Yahoo !!

Oh, Mad, don't wait to play it! The ending does not spoil the game at all. The first play through is well worth it!

It's one of the games I have that I haven't played yet either, but not because of the ending. I didn't know that at the time. At least if you know a game ends with a cliffhanger, you can make it your choice to play it or not. If you go into it knowing that, it may not be so bad (I guess). I got really, really ticked off when I played the 2nd Runaway game and found it had no ending. Wasted a lot of my sister's time as she played it with me and didn't have the time to waste!

Thanks, Draclvr, I'll think about it

I remember in the dim and distant past, after Simon the Sorcerer 2 had been released, playing it all the way through only to discover a cliff-hanger ending

I was SO mad !!!!

In those days I could telephone the developers and chat to one of them (what bliss !!) so I got on the phone and did my rant

The developer wasn't at ALL bothered of course and said I would just have to wait for Simon 3

"Oh, and what if I refuse to buy it .... on principle .... I asked".
"Well then you'll never find out .... came the reply as he laughed his head off".

I "told him off" at that but he was so cheeky and funny with it that I had to laugh myself, too, in the end

[In those days I could phone and speak to other developers too - including Revolution - and it was great :D]

Now that is a very funny story, Mad!

I miss those days, Marian, when companies weren't so big and unapproachable

Very cool Mad!

where can i buy it. thanks

YOu can purchase here on Steam.

I've been watching this Let's Play and really enjoying it - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3AISiWybyWdjUT_EqNic4xtreYWi8QMe. Granted, it's definitely not on the level of the first two Syberias, but I'm having fun with the story, and I'm enjoying this guy's reactions to all the glitches and stair climbing issues. He seems to be enjoying the game in spite of this. He has also played through the first two games and has really enjoyed them both.

I won't be purchasing the game myself until the price comes down because I do think it's a bit too expensive for what it is. If it were on the level of Dreamfall Chapters, which unlike some posters here, I believe is an exceptional game and happens to be my new favorite(), I would have purchased it and played it already. From what I've seen, I consider it a very good game with some issues, while the first two were excellent. Hopefully by the time I'm ready to purchase it, the bugs will finally be ironed out.

Ana, that's fantastic news about A Vampyre Story! Hopefully, they'll be able to make it happen, and we'll finally see that cliffhanger resolved. Personally, I don't mind playing games with cliffhangers even if they are never resolved, as it's better than missing out on something I'd really enjoy. However, I do wish developers wouldn't use them unless they were pretty certain another installment would be made. The only cliffhangers I actually like are Dreamfall's (yes, I know I'm most likely alone in this, but I like the epic nature of the ending, even it it is tragic) and Gabriel Knight 3's, mostly because I don't consider it a cliffhanger, just a sad and appropriate ending after what the characters had gone through.

Is There a PC Game Manual for Syberia 3?

Mr. Bill

YOu mean with the retail version?

I was one of the suckers that bought the disc from Amazon. I don't think it is on the disc. I wondered if there was a game manual anywhere for the PC. It took me quite a while to figure out how to use the inventory, etc. If it is on the disc I can't find it.

Disgruntled Mr. Bill

There are 2 options in the, well, Options menu that cause the inventory to be used differently although not sure how.
The inventory really is atrocious.
All over the place.
Caz

I'm sorry MrBill. I hope someone that purchased can answer your question.

Thanks, cazziejoe!

And, no, the game is not on the disc. All you got there was a disc with a Steam key.

Hi all,

Is there a game manual anywhere on the internet? Maybe at steam, heaven forbid?

Thank you,

Bill

Is there a particular question you are looking for an answer on Mr Bill? It is not a very good idea they used for the Inventory as it is very clumsy. I found that you can rotate through the items with the Mouse Wheel to center the one you want to use in the middle circle.

Hi Greyfuss,

I was looking for one that might help many of us, not just myself. Usually there is some kind of guide. All we get is a suggestion that we use a controller. I bought a Gravis Joystick many years ago. I'm looking for a connector from a 15 pin (two rows) to a USB. I didn't care for it then and probably won't now, but I'll give it a try on my next play. I see that new controllers run between maybe $50 to $80. Most in the upper range.
I had a major time last night trying to get the ice breaker working. Finally got it this morning.

Take care,

Bill
