Just completed Legend...

[Teeth]

Now that I've completed both Legend and Anniversary, I can strongly say something I never thought I'd say:

I'm glad Eidos fired Core and hired Crystal Dynamics.

I mean, when I first played Legend and tried the new controls I was certainly sceptical, and I'm sure everyone was. But now I've given both of Crystal's games a full playthrough, I can give them my approval.

The golden age of Tomb Raider was TR1, 2 and 3. After which everything went steadily more and more downhill with each new game. Then Crystal came along and Tomb Raider was restored to its former greatness. I can't decide if I like TR1 or Anniversary more, and Legend is nearly just as good.

There seem to be two groups of fans: Those who loved Angel of Darkness and hate Crystal Dynamics for replacing Core, and those who believe that Legend was just the fresh start the francise needed. You can add me to the latter.

Congrats :)
But can't we have a group, which likes every TR game? :(

[Tomb Raider Master]

Well done. :tmb:

But can't we have a group, which likes every TR game? :(

I do agree that the TR fanbase is divided. However, I also like every TR game. No, I mean love. :p

[Teeth]

Okay then, three groups. :D

[cbragg09]

I like every Tomb Raider as well!


Im glad you like CD's games, they really have put effort into these games, I just wish the Core biased people would see. I was Core biased after Legend, even though I liked Legend! Now with Anniversary out Im confident CD are moving in the right direction for Lara and her adventures.

Ohh.. don't remind me about that terrible TRL and TRA. The nasty controls, lame Lara and horrible Manor. What can be worster...

[AmericanAssassin]

I'm glad Eidos fired Core and hired Crystal Dynamics.

:yik: I love Crystal, yeah, but Core will always have a bigger piece of my heart! :D

Bad spelling? :p

[Aurimas]

Bad spelling? :p

What can be worse (I meant).

P.S. Are you the same "Teeth" that frequents the Eurogamer forums?

No, I'm not. Sorry. :P

I guess the thing I like best about Legend and Anniversary is Lara. She's back to her old self again, only now she has emotions. TR4, 5 and 6 Lara is just awful - does she have to be so stroppy all the bloody time?

[Jack Croft]

Glad you liked it aswell.

IMO Crystal Dynamics are doing a great job i am glad they are doing it instead or Core Design Legend and Anniversary are amazing.

Now the wait for TR8.....

Me too :)
