Haha oh man. You made me click on the comments sections of a bunch of these sites and it's all brutal.

Whatever. Every popstar I like gets dragged by the general public, so it's nothing new. :p

Maybe it's because Lara Croft is a woman. ;)

Gotta admit I agree with those comments..

I'm mindly cautious about this reboot, and I'm not rushing to buy the Collector's Edition, Survival whatsoever until I'm definitely sure what they're delivering to us.

Tomb Raider was never supposed to be mainstream, sure it appealed man people in the past, because the game was unique, but it managed to stay true to its core. Oh well..

With everything I read or watch, I can see this possibly turning into an unsuccessful and pointless reboot.

Yup! http://www.gamekings.tv/videos/inter...r-tomb-raider/

BTW: The game will be fully complete in about two weeks from now.

Nope. It's not that. Most people really wanted this game to succeed, but Crystal so far failed to impress.. The game could still be amazing and all, but as just* wrote, I feel this reboot could turn out to be pointless. Maybe it's time for another company to take over our beloved franchise.

:tmb: After Underworld, I will forever be cautious when it comes to games, especially Tomb Raider.

I would prefer it if they didn't go in the direction they went in. I understand the reboot, but I much prefer the original concepts.

There's such a ridiculous emphasis on Lara to the point where the developers make the game easier just so that its "emotional". The developers say that they have made certain parts impossible to fall to your death just because it would interrupt the story. It's all about the narrative and Lara and its so disheartening. Especially when Lara herself isn't even likable. From what we've seen I see absolutely no sense of personality or character. Only a scared panting grunting girl who's having a ****ing terrible day because its "emotional".

Exactly!:tmb: A prime example of that impossible to die situations takes place at the beginning of the game, on the rolling log. **** emotional ****! Who cares about that? Underworld flopped because it was a bad game, not because Lara was "Teflon" like *rolleyes*. I was really open minded towards this reboot, but a new bio was completely unnecessary. If they didn't screw things over with Underworld, which led them to a dead end, I bet this reboot wouldn't have been necessary in the 1st place.

I don't believe most people want Tomb Raider to succeed.

I also thought the reboot was completely pointless months ago, but now I've joined the madness and it doesn't bother me at all anymore. *shrug*

Lara being transformed from a badass chick to a random chick is kind of annoying though, but obviously we're supposed to see her grow into the Lara we know and love, so it's too early to harp on that. :)

The thing is, it seems they're using Lara as the selling point of this game. And that's so wrong. No one cares. :(

I don't know. I hope the game manages to really surprise me, but if not I'll pick up Far Cry 3. It's virtually the same elements and looks a ton better imo.
