and yet Lara STILL being a whiny whimp in Rise is something Lara should not be. Chloe comes off as way more of a badass than Reboot Lara.

Sign... so tired of fans complaining when fans complain about blah blha

Well, considering the Reboot TRs were entirely based on Uncharted's success - they are bound to draw heavy comparisons.

Funnily enough, playing UC1 for the first time felt like a massive rip off of Legend in terms of platforming.. but it held enough on its own with the set piece stuff and manual aiming, different combat system etc

The point me and the person above are saying is Lara herself as a character - more than anything else.. she is just SO bland and predictable and boring.

The next TR needs more puzzles and tombs on the main path - forcing the player to complete them to proceed. Hell, even the return of key items would be nice.
I think we see a little of this in Lost Lecacy - which is what TR needs to do more of IMO.
Stop treading people like idiots and stop the hand holding , optional tomb rubbish.

Not ONCE did I ever hear Nate go "I can do this" - "I have to do this" - "I'm not that kind of Drake" LOL
My point being, even in UC4 when he is shipwrecked and wounded, he was tougher than Lara ever was and just got on with what needed doing.
Like how Lara used to be in the old games, and even LAU to some extend.. Legend Lara was tougher than Reboot Lara and thats saying something

Back on Topic - SO cannot wait for this game.. not long left till its out!

There are moments in Uncharted that are really gloomy or were Drake is getting the bejesus kicked out of him or stumbling through the snow bleeding all over the place. But there are also lighthearted moments and badassery moments. There's a much better variety and balance of tones and moods in Uncharted. In the Treboots it's the same thing all the time, irritating the hell out of me.

Exactly. Nate reminds me a lot of Core's Lara in that regard.
I did feel Lara got a little better in Rise - but she didn't go far enough I don't think.. barely any difference to the ending of TR2013
I miss the one liners a bit too if I am honest.
"Not everyone here wants to be guinea pigs. Multi apendiged or not!" Hahah oh Lara!

4/5 games in and you're still not used to it? Uncharted is what TR used to be, comparisons are always going to show up.

Yeah it's the balance that's good

Even classic Lara, as silly as the first 3 games in particular could get, had her more sincere or even outright dark moments, basically the whole of AoD.

Even if it's as small as seeing Treboot Lara just crack a smile and make a joke, there needs to be a warmer side to her that we're just not seeing. She has no warm side, it's all sadness and/or anger, and then in the relatively lighter parts of the game, she's just robotic.

Just ordered my copy of LL. 23rd August... only a couple more weeks.



Are we all getting it on the same day or does it vary from region to region?
