And I'm not referring specifically to graphics. I'm not going to cut CD a break this time because I've done it twice already...in every aspect of their games.

Side note: All of you who can't take a different opinion are immature. I shouldn't have to fight for my point. I posted my opinion. End of.

Plus the environment drastically changed for the better... quite obvious.

^Legend? Mediocre for its time? Not on PS2... it looks great for a PS2 game.

I remember reading a post of yours of how you only buy the games because of your loyalty and respect towards the older games.
Fandom and loyalty can only last so long, stop wasting your money if you don't like the game as it is now and just give up on the series.
It's for the best and you still have the old games to play.

I said to Phlip in VMs earlier that the trailer last night was a real watershed moment for me. All trace of anything TR was wiped away, and with it went any hope I was clinging to

I respect everyone's right to love the game and to propel it to stardom if it's any good. But to me, it's the Resident Evil 4 & 5 scenario. Should TR9 be called TR at all? It seems too far removed for me to think it should be. It might well be a good game, but I won't be buying it because it's simply doesn't seem like it's Tomb Raider any more. It's just...some game.

I've hardly posted in this board since the trailer's launch because I literally have nothing positive to say about it in a Tomb Raider context. Anything I have said has been posted in MGC, where differing opinions are actually talked about and not flamed.

Endless classic-styled levels there. It's my favourite aspect of the TR fanbase <3

Good point

How about you post the initial Lara model and compare it with the released model. The original IS better.

Why can't they just do another hair mechanic like... the AOD braid or something? I would think a ponytail would be more difficult to get right considering the loose strands of hair. I don't really know though lol.

@LF25:

Welllll my only problem with that idea is that I feel like they've been given PLENTY of time to fine tune the perfect game by now, especially. They've had very much the same feedback from us ever since LAU, so I feel like they should get it by now. I think the only reason they're pulling ideas from games like Uncharted with the more scripted/QTE sorta stuff is they think it's popular so it must be a winning formula. Same for anything else they may have borrowed ideas or pulled inspiration from. I don't think that's necessarily bad per se but... I feel like TR starts to lose its originality by that point.

Sometimes the traditional formula is just what a new audience is looking for.

It's called debating... it's not immature to challenge what someone says.

I'm allowed to think differently. It didn't spark my interest. I didn't get excited. That's all there is to it.

There games were recieved well and sold well so they were ultimately a sucess so i guess you should just leave the series and save yourself the stress instead of acting like you own CD and their your little pet.

People that act like bitching on here is punishing CD irk me so... You're not punishing CD, you're annoying us. And there IS a difference between pessimism and realism.

So, an opinion must be positive in order for it to be posted here? Alright then.
