Blood Ties brought me to tears, it was sooooo good!!! I refrained from watching any gameplay until I got to play it, and it was definitely worth the wait.

Long story short, I had the xbox one version of the game, but ended up giving it along with the xbox one away, to a child less fortunate. Was supposed to get a PS4 from my friend’s son, but he ended up selling it to Gamestop. I purchased the PS4 version, so I could already have it. I saved up to get a PS4 but then decided to get the Pro. A year later I finally got the pro for a bargain, and here we are lol. Ended up being a long story anyway lol

I wished i had a big TV and a PS4 pro...the game already looks stunning on the normal Ps4.
Its crazy that the games visuals can still hold up to newer games...that is impressive in a age were graphics are so fast outdated.

I thought it was a silly move from day 1

Given the Playstations have consistently given TR a platform from the very beginning, one would assume there's still a very large and loyal TR fanbase on the PS4. I don't think the games should be Playstation exclusive either, but if there's one console series you don't take TR away from, it's the one that basically catapulted it into fame. That's just downright stupid business logic, and I hope they've learned their lesson from the dragging they got when it was announced.

Also silly given the relatively poor sales figures of the Xbox One compared to the PS4. However much they were paid off by Microsoft, their game was always going to sell more on PS4.

The whole stunt was an incredibly transparent attempt by Microsoft at saving their underperforming console, by buying out a popular title from underneath the fans on PS4 in the hope they'd buy an Xbox One just to play it a year earlier. Thank God most fans on PS4 had sense and patience, because that's just dirty imo and I'd have hated for them to majorly profit off of doing it.

Oh believe me , we all thought the same I see you weren't on the forums 3 years ago , you've missed a huge deal of the severity of rage with which we've reacted upon the announcement as it was stil fresh . I posted the most dramatic post one could ever see , I came home after having one of the worst exams at college and doing miserably in it just to see that TR2013's sequel is going to be Xbox exclusive (and that was even before Phil says that it's a timed exclusivity) as the icing on the cake , I went completely MAD

You must just play the story straight through and don’t explore at all because I am replaying it and haven’t had not one problem with hordes of enemies
