This I hope I will not see in SOTTR
Here is my list:
1) An undead army 2) Ascension to the final boss while everything around collapses 3) Capture/Avalanche scenario when Lara loses all her gear at the beginning of the game 4) and starts with a broken TWIG made into bow, ends up with an obliterator 5) Damsel in distress that needs saving 6) Blonde villain 7) "My father was right about everything". 8) bow, one pistol, assault rifle, shotgun - these four basic weapons - all other weapons are variations of existing weapons Feel free to add your own thoughts. |

2589 collectables that serve hardly any purpose, nor enrich the story.

"I've got to…", "I've got to…", "I've got to…" Can't we just have one or two "I want to…" or "I'm curious about…" or similar?

Actually , this is a "classic" part of the franchise , think about it : most Tomb Raider games (except maybe Legend , AOD and Chronicles) had a last segment that's so similar to TR2013 and ROTTR .
Anyway , here's what I can think of right now : - Undead Soldiers . - White "visual language" (ledges , craggy walls , ropes etc) , make them recognizable , but not with white paint . - Snow and ice . - Strongboxes , GPS caches and NPC missions . |

I screamed at: "My dad was right about everything."
On topic: -Open world. -White ledges. -Boring side-missions. -Zombies. -Pointless collectibles. -Serious and boring Lara from start to finish. -2638 human enemies. -Similar outfits. (Like in ROTTR). -Jonah. Last edited by Emix; 17-03-18 at 23:21. |

That would be like complaining that we had to escape a collapsing temple at the end of most classic games. We had it in TR1,TR2, TR3 to an extend, TR4...
Quote:
- Natla's Mine (TR1) - Offshore Rig (TR2) - High Security Compound (TR3) - The Submarine (TR5) - The Paris section + Von Croy's apartment (TRAOD) I don't disagree with the list per se, repetitiveness can be harmful... But I feel people are mixing up "repetitiveness" with "franchise classics". You identify a franchise by its similar patterns shared between the games. The classic TR had the "lost weapon" and "escaping a collapsing temple" sections, Assassin's Creed had its waypoint towers + leap of faiths, Zelda has its dungeon bosses... It's not uncommon to see similarities within a franchise. I agree that Rise went a bit overboard on certain fronts but I feel some elements of your list might fall in the "franchise classics". Quote:
These will be back. No way they developed the sidequest structures for Rise only to throw it away the following game. Side missions make the games longer, allow unique rewards, offer alternative challenges and so on. They're weird in the context of a Tomb Raider game, but in an AAA game with semi open world areas, they can be benefic. Last edited by Isaac; 17-03-18 at 23:36. |

We don't have a clue whether the game will take place entirely in Mexico or not I'm just warning them that if they're to feature other locations , they better not have the slightest trace of snow and ice in them , I've seen enough in Rise to last me a lifetime !
