2 hours and 15 minutes for 27%, we should be done in like 7 hours or more.

Yes. It sounds more raw but refined :D.

I know! It reminds me of AoD, Legend and some Tomb Raider III! I like this dark vibe that it gives! I have a feeling that Shadow of the Tomb Raider, unlike TR2013 and RoTR will be much darker!

Yes please! :D

This is exactly what I'm hoping for!

I keep being amazed by how many people on this forum want Quick Time Events back. (Full disclosure: I didn't count. It is conceivable that it's just one really loud person)

Given that there's also a huge fanbase for limited saves in the classic games, I think it's safe to say that in ten or twenty years, there will be people who angrily demand micropayments and lottery loot boxes for all new games.

I'm pretty sure its almost universally undesired in the community?

There might be a vocal minority somewhere, but I was under the impression that TRF was unanimous in their dislike for them.

QTEs are good way to make cutscene more immersial. For me QTE is way more better than normal non-interactive cutscene. Those from Legend and Anniversary were awesome ;)

Based on the trailer it looks it. I thought usually the second in a trilogy is the darkest, but Rise wasn't as dark as the 2013 game so they seem to be bucking the trend.

I'm kind of over it with all the "dark and gritty" in the media though, seriously I'm bored of it all. I really hope we get this game out the way and then go back to something a lot softer and more escapist. We can only do so much "gritty real" before it gets old.

I want no QTEs and less cutscenes. I'm also tired of games that feel more like movies than games. It's fine for a game to feel like a game.
