People are really negative towards this game :o. Oh my.. Can't say I disagree...

Quote:

First time an IGN comment has been spot on.
The origin story is ****ing ridiculous and ludicrous. None of this promises to feed into her becoming Lara Croft. At all.

The devs missed the point of Casino Royale entirely.

This should be Lara's first Tomb Raid; seemingly safe adventuring and things go to ****.
Instead she becomes Lara Croft not by her own ambitions but because men made her.

Its a stupid story and a stupid idea that makes for a horrible origins story.

Quote:

So she (I assume) will narrowly escape an island were all her friends died and she was chased, almost raped and murdered and was forced to kill on multiple occasions and then just goes right back out there for more. The next one needs to start with her in therapy.

I think they have lost all sense as to why Tomb Raider and in effect Lara Croft was so appealing and fun.

So sad.

Graphic violence, bad language, gritty art, brutal finishing moves, shaky-cam quick time events

Oh modern gaming, you're so goddamned EDGY!

I want to ask whether you found those easily or with at least a little difficulty, but I fear I know the answer. This makes me sad though; I'm still incredibly excited for the game - I wish other people were too.

Were any of you guys here for the Underworld campaign, and did it go similar? :B

Oh yes, it was similar :o. Underworld made me dislike Tomb Raider. I don't know why they made such a crap game. I wouldn't even minded having another game like Legend or Anniversary, at least those two were fun and had variety. People call AoD a bad game, but Underworld lacked even in the story department.

From what we've played, we are a little disappointed, but because of all this money in our pockets we are still making sure that there is a positive tone to our review.

Quote:

Crystal Dynamics isn't making a game full of stone levers and intimidating ancient decor, and I was completely fine with that. In two hours of playing Tomb Raider, I had already wrestled with more emotions than I had with any prior entry in the series

Quote:

"Wrestled with more emotions..." My God, what I am even reading? This game, I don't even anymore.

Quote:

Sometimes I cry when I scratch my balls, too much baggage to carry.

It would be funny if they refereed to another game :(.

Quote:

Is it just me, or are the jump animations a little wonky?

What kills me about this game, is that its supposed to be a "survival" game... But where is the survival? Is that purely a marketing line? I was expecting a Snake Eater style health and recovery system, game mechanics that require Lara to sustain herself. Puzzles that required some ingenuity and use of the environment to solve.

Turns out, it looks like survival is based on a story that tells you need to find a med pack. Go over there and quick time your way to surviving.

Yeah..:(

Stop posting negative reviews; They make me saaad. :( :p

Yeah, they make me sad as well :(.

Quote:

Just watched the VG247 gameplay video and my god the platforming looks so...casual. I know CD's Tomb Raiders aren't like the old games but this looks to be on a whole other level of easy. Doesn't appear my wish for another Anniversary type TR is gonna come to fruition.

Quote:

A young ship wrecked Lara having to survive in a hostile island environment sounded good, but so far it seems like the game is way too "safe" for my tastes

Quote:

Sounds awful, I'll just stay away from TR threads from now on.

R.I.P TR.

:(

You've really appealed to those mainstream gamers haven't you, Crystal? :tmb:

Is the game supposed to be super hard right at the beginning? Not listening to these opinions.

I don't understand how they can judge the whole traversal system on about 40 seconds of ACTUAL traversal...

This is why I hate the public. They're all so stubborn and base their opinions on the smallest clip or piece of information they've received. It's ****ing annoying.

Well its not like everyone sits around and views every piece of media under the sun. Maybe Crystal should be showing off something of substance. Something that sets this game apart from other games.

My expectations for this game have plummeted these last couple days. With everything I read or watch, I can see this possibly turning into an unsuccessful and pointless reboot.

Would you rather they kept up the dying Legend/Underworld style, or just have let the series die out? I'm grateful they're at least trying to let Tomb Raider shine again.
