I didn't see many white ledges in this reboot but that doesn't mean I like them.

This is what I think about white ledges:

More game-rendered ledges = more exploration + more different paths to take + more possible hazards/obstacles = thought provocation + a challenge! The only challenge white ledges give is whether or not you can manage to push forward on the joystick and press A/X at the same time.

It's not rocket science - they should increase the quantity of ledges but make them slightly less obvious. Say you're running through some kind of tunnel, there could be a ledge on the right which doesn't lead anywhere, but if it's climbable then it adds much more realism to the game, IMO.

Or why not have different types of ledges? We don't have to get totally rid of white ledges, but say, the percentage of the amount of times Lara will slip on a white ledge will be 10%, and if it's a muddy, less evident ledge, it'll be 50% (obviously the game probably won't include only white ledges, but different types of ledges can be used more frequently and 'difficult' ledges can play a part in the main story progression...if that makes sense...)

But PLEASE, make ANY ledge that you can see climbable. That's my main point.

And btw, I hate white ledges.

sign me up as well, of course. I freakin HATE those white ledges

[MuhaBagci]

I do not have anything against white ledges... sometimes I'm even glad that there are white ledges...

[KIKO]

Oh I can still remember...

It does not look unnatural at all. I can barely see them

Sign me up. What seriously is wrong with a bit of a challenge in a game? I'm paying £40 for it, I don't want my hand to be held the whole way.

Are you signing up, dear?

[KIKO]

I have signed up before, why don't you copy and past the old members from the old thread?

because a lot of them don't even visit here anymore.

That's likeforging a signature, tbh. It just makes it unlegit. Some people might have changed their minds or might not care. I need a list of current members that are currently against it, the old threads don't represent that.

Updated the OP with your name.

If I have missed anyone, please inform me.
