I do agree with you on wanting Tomb Raider to be less linear. Rise is going on the right direction with this, but there's still room for improvement. Hopefully it all comes together in the third game. |

But other games like Mass Effect and Far Cry 3 do the XP earning and upgrade buying right, so I think both series should take examples from that. |

For instance: in U4 you got to look at some paintings and one of the paintings has fallen on the floor and Nathan and Sullivan pick it up and put it back on the wall. Nathan asks: 'is it straight?' And Sullivan answers: 'who the hell cares?' It's a tiny little thing, but it does say something about their personalities; Sullivan is practical and realistic whereas Drake is more orderly and cares about little details. I can hardly tell anything about the personality of Core Design Lara. The Treboot does better but Legend takes the cake in my opinion in that regard. Well I don't mind it either, but I'm not really motivated to actively search for those things... |

I'll only go after collectibles if it's a game I really enjoyed (or if there's a trophy to it). The majority of it is just padding, adding a lil "extra".

And, he wants more focus in TR on making great battles whereas I want more focus in TR on making great exploration. But yeah, I think reboots are weaker games than UC, even though they are very UC-like. And, they're not as compelling because Lara is less interesting (as she's currently framed / written), plus he's right - the actress who plays Lara (or direction given to the actress) isn't brilliant either. And although I feel Crystal try for a more complex storyline than UC (which I appreciate), they don't pull it off in a way that I'd like. Last edited by Blackmoor; 20-03-18 at 21:22. |

Another point I think he made well was when he discusses fanboyism and criticism of games at the very end. Makes me wonder if he's ever visited this forum. |

Some really.... erm interesting matches today
Had a really fun one. Challenges can be hard though - I hate the Condor. More maps would be awesome.. Too many quitters too unfortunately so lots of 3 vs 5 Even in a party of 3 good players - we lost by 13 points coz some guy died 15 times ans got 1 kill FML Last edited by dcw123; 23-03-18 at 15:03. |
