[QUOTE=Spong;6047440]Save restrictions should be covered in the difficulty setting. God knows completing Underworld on [B]Master Survivalist[/B] was a joke, the game almost plays itself. My brutal brand of saving wouldn't suit everyone, but that's the point. It'll get rid of the lightweights who shouldn't be playing games, and it'll bring back a portion of the challenge. It's a win-win situation :tmb:[/QUOTE]
Is Master Survivalist a difficulty mode in TRU? :confused:

:eek:That is disheartening. I hope you do not be talking quite seriously.
If I have to play hour and a half, due to be dead, and I have the misfortune to die two or three times, I burn the computer and the game. :p

[QUOTE=lcroft_lc;6047452]Is Master Survivalist a difficulty mode in TRU? :confused:[/QUOTE]

Yes. It's Underworld's hardest difficulty, but it's way too easy.
That's something else about Underworld that Crystal hyped - player tailoring. What a crock that turned out to be :rolleyes:

LOL, I can see why you might get frustrated, but that frustration would be part of the penalty for dying.

A game, to me, is a challenge. I've said this before but, from the moment you start playing, the game should be actively trying to [I]stop[/I] you getting to the end. I've already said that Underworld is so easy that it feels like its playing itself. TR9 shouldn't help people get to the end by giving them comfy checkpoint saves every five minutes. You want to get to the end of the game? You've got to be genuinely good, not just persistent :tmb:

Your last sentence bewildered me.

That playing mode can be interesting, but then you can not choose risky options if you are not willing to repeat a lot of playing time again and again and again.
Maybe it can be interesting in any particular area, but that way to play all the time can be tedious.

I always picked the full pant. :D

^Full pant? :confused:

[QUOTE=tampi;6047473]Your last sentence bewildered me.[/quote]

I meant that playing most games nowadays requires no skill, just persistence. Essentially, all you need to do is pick up the pad and you're guaranteed to get to the end no matter how badly you play. I want a game which requires persistence but has no safety net of constant checkpoints, I want it to require a standard to that persistence.

Having high stakes like that (having to replay a portion of the level/area again) adds tension to every new challenge you discover. If you spot a ledge across a chasm and wonder if you can make the jump, there's no gamble if the game saved at a checkpoint thirty-seconds ago. You may as well try the jump, it doesn't matter if you fail, there's no consequence because you'll be back there again in thirty seconds. I want there to be a price to pay if I get it wrong. Yeah it'll make me go "grrr! [img]http://i.imgur.com/UtieE.gif[/img]" when I mess up, but equally, it'll make me go "yesss! :yah:" when I get it right.

It's brutal, it turns every move you make into a gamble, one that constantly pays off with a sense of achievement when you succeed, but one that punishes you when you fail :tmb:

That sounds pretty good, but it's so risky!

I can see myself cursing the game and dragged along the ground kicking, if I fail.:D

To be honest manual save is really a route than nobody can complain about. Skyrim's system was great with it's mix of location and manual saves. :)

I cannot wait to see the travelling in this. I know quick travel is available in the hubs but will we have maps, there's really no point in Lara having a compass after what she said in the leaked script they aren't going to get her anywhere but I hope you can actually walk from hubs to other places and not just quick travel through all of it. I'd love a few jungles to walk through. :o

I wasn't talking about her costumes though when I mentioned player tailoring. I think having different costumes to choose from is evil.

What is "player tailoring"? :confused:

[QUOTE=lcroft_lc;6047605]What is "player tailoring"? :confused:[/QUOTE]

There were options in Tomb Raider Underworld to tailor (adjust, refine) the game's settings, such as difficulty, to the player's preference.

[QUOTE=lcroft_lc;6047605]What is "player tailoring"? :confused:[/QUOTE]

A fancy-looking, but pointless, way of choosing between Stupidly Easy, Really Easy, and Easy difficulty. It was rubbish, Crystal claimed it would cater for everyone's tastes. It didn't.

I didn't think I needed to say it. It's a given.

[COLOR="Red"]There's something I didn't like it at all in the new TR . Lara Tied with ropes at the top and moving quickly, without speaking or ask itself what happened to her .[/COLOR] The best thing at the beginning of the game, that Lara should open her eyes slowly with a cutscene . Lara scream and Lara looking to ground and moving the camera to down with scary music .

i believe Lara knows where she got there in the first place, she seems to know the guy who put her hanging upside down

she quoted ( what did he do to you? ) in the girl at the sacrificial altar right!

and they say that before the beginning there was a cutscene where Lara was being dragged from the shore and she is slightly conscious that time but weak


thats why in that situation you dont have time to think so much but to get out of there as fast as possible
