⚡ NEW: Id/ImpliedKappa/recommended/ - Complete Album!

I bought this when I owned my previous computer. The textures were broken and the game locked up before I could get out of the first area. Not a great first impression.

When I got my new computer, I reinstalled the game and tried it out again. Now it's asking me for a CD. I went to the Steam message boards to see if there was a quick fix, but the solution involved grabbing an altered executable from GOG. And because the game folder's read-only and Windows has decided I don't have the privileges to change read-only status, all I had to do was log in as administrator, uncheck the "read-only," download software from another company's website, and then, and then...

Nah. NAHHHHH. For Gabriel Knight THREE? The worst game in the series? Nah. This is already too much effort. I'd expect these kinds of work-arounds if I were trying to run the game off of my old CDs from 1999, but for a digital version still being sold in 2020? This game should be ready to play on install.

You realize that for $6 I could've bought 20 McNuggets and had my choice of dipping sauces? You don't even get barbecue sauce with Gabriel Knight 3. Not even sweet and sour. And I wouldn't need to run tech support on my nuggies - they'd be ready for the end user right out of the takeout bag. Wouldn't have to steal honey mustard from Wendy's and double-fry them to make them edible. I'd just open up the box and enjoy.

But if you're, like, really big on the whole IKEA "some assembly required" thing and either really loved this game as a kid or have a hard-on for vampires and ugly, blocky, late-90s 3D models, then I *guess* this might be up your alley?

But seriously, don't buy this broken-ass version of a bad game. Consider either getting it on GOG or forgetting about GK3 entirely and going to McDonald's.
