Is anyone else out there absolutely disgusted in the way gaming magazines talk about the TR games? They keep calling the controls clunky, rigid, unplayable!?! The very same mags that worshipped TR a few years back are ALWAYS talking trash about the games. How soon they forget how ground-breaking Tomb Raider was and still is.
Personally, I adore the controls of the past games. I love knowing exactly what to do when I come to a gap (hop back, run, jump, grab etc). I am happy to have auto-aim (being a girl who is disinterested in shooters) so I can do cool backflips and rolls while destroying my enemies!
AOD may not have that same control scheme, but a big part of me wishes Core stuck with the old scheme. Maybe if they had done that, there may not have been so many glitches/bugs/inordinately long and prevalent load times etc. I am ranting here, but maybe the game would have been completely finished at the time of its release, with all aspects Core originally promised in place (ie. being able to use Kurtis's glaive in gameplay, intelligent AI). True TR fans would have been ok with the old control scheme, I'm sure especially if it meant the difference between a highly tweaked and polished game and one those aforementioned magazines will most likely have a field day writing negative comments about.
