I'll start off with saying AOD was my 1st Tomb Raider game and will always be my favourite :jmp:

MegaGamer 16-11-14 13:35

Would you mind clarifying what we have to do here again? I'm sorta confused. :ponder: Is it basically a place where we just give our opinions and talk about Tomb Raider stuff?

sackboy123 16-11-14 13:35

It's like Open Chat but only Tomb Raider Related stuff

Since we went off topic in the Rise of the Tomb Raider section, this thread was created

Blonde Lara FTW :jmp:

[B]Think of it as the place to discuss all thing TR-related that don't have a dedicated thread, or aren't really a thread-worthy topic. :)[/B]

I'll get the Thread kicking

I've been recently playing TR5 again and I forgot how fun it can be :)


Moved my Statistics here :)

peeves 16-11-14 14:34

So i just beat TR5 with all the secrets no medi packs used and no deaths/reloads so i now completed TR's 1, 2, 5, and 6 with all secrets (all valuable items in TR6) no medi packs and no deaths/reloads.

lord gaga 16-11-14 14:34

So this is basically for random thoughts.

I was just thinking about how cool it would have been if the lara croft series had a level in the mansion. It would be interesting.

[QUOTE=lance6439;7217704]This was what I wanted to do with my thread until it was forced to only discuss TR10 related stuff



Sigh[/QUOTE]

I see. But you realise it makes absolutely no sense to discuss AoD modding stuff in a thread titled [I]Rise of the Tomb Raider General Chat[/I] right? ;)

i started replaying all my TR games a few months back. i had the intentions of playing all of them. i played the first three but then i made the mistake of starting another game on Skyrim. TR marathon is still currently on hold.

TR5 is probably the one i haven't played in a very long time. it was also my least favorite of the first 5 on playstation but it's obviously still a good game.

Seth94 16-11-14 15:49

It's nice to have a General Tomb Raider thread, finally. :D

TR3 was my first Tomb Raider... I remember playing it with my cousins and sister. Winston used to scare the **** out of me. :vlol:

I see where you're coming from. [I]Skyrim[/I] is the crystal meth of gaming! :vlol:
I'm currently replaying the LAU trilogy (just beat Kazakhstan), but at the same time I'm considering starting a new game on Skyrim. I just know it's gonna ruin my plans to replay LAU! :D

very true. i started to replay my TR games because i was too addicted to the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer and needed to break away from it. then Skyrim just made it worse. i've since then been burnt out on Skyrim but i haven't made the effort to go back and spend time with lara. it will happen eventually since i'm always excited to replay TR4.

Tonyrobinson 16-11-14 16:04

Crystal are doing a good amount of TBTs on Twitter with the Core games, I didn't think they would acknowledge that era of the lineage, it's awesome though nice to see the originals still recognised.

Oh I see! :D

My story of how I discovered TR:

My sister first bought it when I was little. One day, my curious self brought me towards this game. I was like, 7, and I noticed how it was "T" rating, but I didn't care. :p So I started playing it, and it really attracted my attention. I found it really enjoyable. Like, I was really hooked. Probably the best thing I played that day. A couple years later, I was on youtube, and I was searching a walkthrough for TR, cause I was stuck. I then noticed suggestions like, "TR2" or "TR3" and I was like, "there's more? :eek:" That really caught my attention. I had to get those games. So I bragged to my parents to buy me those games, but they were like, "no" Although they made me a deal. If I got good grades in school, they would buy me a new TR game. That's when I got TR2 and TR3. It was a really fun playthrough. TR4 was a bit more of a challenge to achieve. Lots of time later, I lost a tooth, and I still believed in the "tooth fairy" :o So my Dad put something under my pillow. It was about 5 in the morning when I woke up. I felt under my pillow, and I noticed how it didn't feel like money. I took it out, and there was TR4. I was shocked. I didn't care that it was 5 in the morning, I immediately put the disk in the PS1 and started playing. After I beat it, it was around my birthday. When my birthday came, my parents gave me one suspicious looking present. I opened it, and then, TR5 came into my life. I grab the game, dash up to my room, and start playing it immediately. I really enjoyed that game, and Gallow's Tree really creeped me out. :D And then, there was AoD. :/ I wasn't such a fan of many things in this game, and I have mentioned like, 16 reasons why I didn't enjoy it. :/ I haven't really touched it ever since. TR Legend really brought my TR spirit back, as I really enjoyed it. Then Anniversary, which I did find kinda fun, but wasn't a fan of the "remake" concept. Underworld was amazing. I loved it. I also started playing lots of custom levels around this time too! :jmp: Then back in July, I got the new TR 2013. I'm enjoying it, but it's not exactly on the TR aspect imo. Probably won't get ROTTR after hearing it being Xbox exclusive, and I don't have an Xbox, and I find it weird about buying an Xbox just for one game. I still haven't completed TR 2013, I actually haven't touched it in a while, so I should go back to playing it soon. :o I know my TR journey is still continuing, and it won't stop for ages. I look forward to the next part of my TR adventure.

I'm the exact opposite, I know my TR journey ended back in 2008. I'm almost cynical about the new games, in the sense that they aren't true to the games that have gone before.

I don't care about Lara in her early years, Crystal! I seen those early years over 10 years ago, and watched her evolve over time, now give me some bloomin' tombs, yeah?

Patrick star 16-11-14 22:06

at least go play some TRLE levels\games .

Gaelen 16-11-14 22:11

[QUOTE=Patrick star;7217859]at least go play some TRLE levels\games .[/QUOTE]

I've got a Mac, and i'm not overly fussed (as in, have other/better things to do) to go through the nonsense of getting Windows and setting it up, just so I can play TRLE. I do enjoy watching [I]badassgamez[/I] play through the odd one when i'm sitting in bed dozing off, but I doubt i'd enjoy it personally playing through it. At the end of the day, they aren't authentic. I suppose you can't knock it if you haven't tried it, though.

You can't compare custom levels to the real deal though. :ohn:

hay , go play TR :redemption , Jade empire , mists of Avalon , chosen , beyond the scion and many others (just to name a few) and then come back and say something like that :ohn:
I can say it in the loudest voice , there are some custom games\levels I played that tops anything Core or Crystal alike ever made and are ten times better ...

Perhaps on level design, but I like the full package.

no not just on level design , literally everything , even in terms of stories .

[QUOTE=Patrick star;7217886]no not just on level design , literally everything , [B]even in terms of stories[/B] .[/QUOTE]

Hmm, could you possibly give me some examples? You've got me intrigued. My favourites are Angel of Darkness and TR3 when it comes to stories.

[QUOTE=Trenton;7217875]You can't compare custom levels to the real deal though. :ohn:[/QUOTE]

You can if Custom levels are better then the actual games like Himalayan Mysteries , Mists of Avalon, Coyote Creek 1 and 2

All of these are just amazing

Seth94 16-11-14 22:58

[QUOTE=Trenton;7217875]You can't compare custom levels to the real deal though. :ohn:[/QUOTE]

I agree. There are some excellent custom games out there but nothing can be better than the actual games themselves, however good they are.

sackboy123 16-11-14 23:00

What if we said

Search for the Golden Mask is better then Golden Mask :pi:

you've got Mists of Avalon , Hymalaian mysteries , TR redemption , beyond the scion , the wheels of Kathar , Dracula's return , the chamber, and many more that I can't really remember now (I played over 80 custom levels\games)
I'll give you some links if you like :)

Okay, excluding the rare PC exclusives :p

[QUOTE=Patrick star;7217901]you've got Mists of Avalon , Hymalaian mysteries , TR redemption , beyond the scion , the wheels of Kathat , Dracula's return , the chamber, and many more that I can't really remember now (I played over 80 custom levels\games)

Yes please!

[B]@Sackboy:[/B] That looks interesting. Definitely playing on the gothic aspect of AoD.
