Rise of the Tomb Raider General Chat

I think the best part of the Shanty Town was the guy looking for Sprinkles.

I am assuming the comics will be the Lara Croft: Reflections series and she will be reflecting on her time after Yamati before moving onto The Lost Colony as they will lead into the sequel game. So it is sort of told up to the point were she will be embarking on her journey to the Lost Colony but with globe trotting in between could that mean come the sequel she will be an even more experienced Tomb Raider and we will be back to a Lara who has learnt knowledge from her experiences unearthing other ancient tombs and wielding a wicked pair of twin pistols?

I don't think it's a comic:

They're two different locations on the map. Take your disagreement to Crystal or just admit you were mistaken

So because you can see one from the other that means they're the same location?
Try travelling on foot from Shanty Town to the Solarii Fortress, that's the pretty much the bottom line definition of a single location in the game.

Alas, I've never had cause to travel back to Shanty Town after the story is done. I'm sure the place is a lot more fun when it's empty.
The only location in the game that really needs revisiting is the Mountain Village hub to hoover up a couple of items gear gated by the shotgun/rope arrow. Apart from that, and excluding the DLC tomb, I think every location in the game can be completed 100% during your first & only visit. Which is a shame really.

I think CD should make a sequel to TR8 either that or make TR10 like the trilogy.

Awww yes! and they look for him! I loved the chat some scavengers had about trading the last volume of a book serie for cigarettes. There's quite a few chats from scavengers really cool.

Same, maybe it's a video game like GOL from the LC spin-off series.

[larafan25]

I pray. <3

It's very likely to be a game though.
If it was a comic, it's going to be called "Tomb Raider" with a title like the last one (TR: The Beginning).

[larafan25]

YAS. We're geniouses. I hope Lara Croft: Reflections has all the gorgeous magic of GOL. omg.
