Because the only boundaries to concept art is the imagination.

This has probably been mentioned before, but there are thousands of pages on this thread, so excuse me for not reading them all. I just didn't want to start a thread simply to say...

Where were all the big exciting tombs?

I spent more time in the jungle than I did in a 'tomb'. And even they just felt like nests which the islanders had hung their bed sheets in.

One thing I DID like, was that you had to find the tombs, get in, find your gold, and then get out.

Other than that, what I DIDN'T like was that the tombs was purely to find stuff to help you upgrade, rather than interesting information about the lost civilisation, which is why the character of Lara is meant to be raiding tombs in the first place (Given she's not an official tomb raider in this story as of yet, but still).

Quick fixes to make the tombs more enjoyable would have been:
-Remove signs that the islanders had already found them, and link them to the past civilisation instead
-Make them longer
-And.. importantly.. place all those interesting artifacts like the masks inside them, rather than outside.

The last point would have made it really feel like exploring those tombs would allow you to learn more about what happened on the island.

In another interesting note, when I played through TR2013 for the first timb, I was also playing through Far Cry 3, which actually felt like it had a lot more tombs and freedom to explore. Haven't finished it, but so far it's the exact same story as TR2013... but with more exploration and tombs.. funny that.

Therefore, recommend Tomb Raider fans dissapointed in the new game to give Far Cry 3 a go.

OK, my 2p has been said :) Back to regular broadcast.

I agree that the Tombs were really short and easy.

but there was interesting information in each tomb! Like the one on the beach, you find out was a fishing outpost. hence all the cages that Lara talks about. When you reach the chests in each tomb doesn't Lara talk about what the tomb was? I recall her examining the area about her opinions.

What the tombs were missing was the fear, and punishment that the old games had. TRAPS! The tomb needed a lot of these. Although, I do recall one part where you were walking in a tomb that was really dark, I believe in the shantytown area, and you slip and slide off the ledge if you didn't press that grab button. More of those!

And also make the tombs more grand! just like the old games. Trust me everyone on this forum would had loved the tombs if they were just as challenging.


Far cry is a bit different imo compared to Tomb Raider. Some people don't enjoy FPS games that are open world. I love the exploration and puzzles than visceral combat. Each his own I guess.

I want to go Buy Tomb Raider (PC) or should i wait for the GOTY and also for the Price to go down.

What Bugs and Patches should i expect

I have not encountered any bugs and it's hard to judge the likelihood that you will. And in terms of where you can or can't go it's exactly like the console version.

I didn't have bugs at all in the PC version (never played the console one )

Can you Explore the Island again after you Finish the Game and can you go to the Ending part of the Game again, i just dont want certain places to be blocked off because it was Only available during the Main Game.

Have you not played the game? It's exactly the same as the console version.

You can only go to the end level in a limited capacity to get the collectibles. Some areas are locked out after the end.

I just bought TR today, who knew the Updates is 10 GB now i must wait till tomorrow morning to play :hea:

If Classic Lara and Reboot Lara met:
