I didn't say the story was complex and 'hard to follow'. I did understand (everybody here did), but the way it was executed was crappy. Yes, I followed the whole drama extremely well, thank you, but everything was random and glued together just for the sake of. They could've worked so much better in every single level to make the story flow.. But well, bad for them. At least now they're rebooting the story and looks promising.

Legend is pretty even though it's not 'classic tomb raiding', but the story is so confuse. There are a lot of stuff happening all the time, you don't even think about it. First you are in Bolivia and there are mercenaries everywhere and then there's something to do with Excalibur and then Lara is on Peru and have a flashback about an old friend who disappeared inside a tomb then she is in a building in Japan shooting everything that moves and it goes. Amanda and Rutland appears out of nowhere in some situations, you don't even know what they are doing there.

There's no solid connection in the plot, everything is random. The same thing applies to Underworld.

In the classics the storyline was crap too, but at least it wasn't over the top with fireworks and 90% of it happened in-game, when you had full control. Also, the levels were much bigger, you really had the feeling to be progressing. In Legend and Underworld everything is easy because you run 10 meters, grab some ledges, make some fancy moves and then the level is over.

You really need to stop being so negative about everything.

Was AOD Lara what she was like in all the CORE games?? Its to late for me to play the ps1 games. I will never enjoy them. The only reason Core fans still enjoy them is because of the nolstalgia wich makes it more fun for them. But I just can't play them because i'm so used to the current gen of games. I got Bioshock the other day and didn't finish it all because it came out in 2008 and I didn't like the gameplay and graphics, even for a ps3 game. (I'm still going to get Bioshock Infinit because its up to date with graphics and gameplay). But I can still play LAU. Because the Nolstalgia is there

AOD is really a more interesting character than her previous counterparts in my opinion. She definitely seems more human. The previous games she was just a smartass. :p

And its really a shame that you don't play older games just because of the graphics. :/ Especially Bioshock...what? That game still has some of the best graphics to date. And it's probably the most captivating game of this generation. There are still some older TR games I haven't finished, but I will play them. Not because of nostalgia, but because they're genuinely fun and challenging. But there is seriously nothing dated about Bioshock. You're confusing. :p

You people need to deal with negative opinions.

It's not like everything is wonderful and I have to accept everything. I see good things in Legend, Anniversary and I love the Reboot so far, but there's no reason why I shouldn't talk about the bad stuff :)

And there's a difference between having your own opinion and forcing it down the throats of others.

It's a shame though. Cause everything seems to be wonderful for us, but not for you. Oh, that's not a jab by the way. A genuine observation. Does that make us easy to please or you difficult to please? The world may never know :p

I like to talk about bad stuff, especially when they are extremely obvious :P Yeah, if it makes me a pessimist, I'm ok with it.

There is nothing confusing about Legend's storyline. It makes complete sense to me, and it's not terribly written either. The only qualms I have with it is that Lara's motivation comes from her search for her mother, which I really don't like. I mean there was nowhere to take her after she found her. There was no longer that motivation. They essentially "killed" her character off so that they could begin anew. :p Which I am perfectly okay with.

I dig Lara's character in Legend, but it is so bleh in Anniversary and Underworld.

I think the problem is when she says "this is what it's always been about."

Between you and me, i think CD only put that in there because they knew they wanted to do a reboot. :pi:

But you're not just being pessimistic and negative you are doing something completely different. It's like you really want everyone to think what you are thinking...
