Tomb Raider

[coldmeat]

It looks exactly like Uncharted with a female lead. Hey let's use the same engine and 90% of the art assets from another game, stick Lara Croft in it, and call it a new game.

10 years ago this was a skin pack and a $10 bargain expansion pack, now it's a triple A title...

So what you're saying is this is a good thing for xbox/pc gamers who will never play Uncharted?

Yeah, maybe. I thought the Uncharteds were fun.

My ps3 won't stop locking up on me when I try to load a game.

Hm, I just tried it and got through the whole demo without any problems. You might need to redownload it for some reason?

I also set that Vikings show to record... it looks like it could be interesting?

 

[purbeast0]

anyone read about what the length of this game is? think i am going to just redbox it since it sounds like the multiplayer is pretty whack in it.

 

[American Gunner]

How long is the game?

How long is the game?

From what I saw from one review, 12-15 just doing the story line, 20 if you do all the side stuff.

So this might be a rental for me then.

Check out the Conan review

This is excellent. Conan should definitely review all video games.

The game does look good; I don't plan to pick up on day 1, but will pick it up when the price drops.

 

[purbeast0]

hmmm 12-15 hours i may end up just buying it so i can take my time through it instead of rushing through it so i can return it. ill decide over the weekend.

 

[American Gunner]

I went ahead and decided to buy it. I figure it will take me a while with the lack of time and gears and bioshock coming out.

I watched the preview videos for this, and it's hard to see what the actual gameplay is. Granted, I haven't read anything on it, just watched videos. Looks like it could end up being lots of cutscenes, linear play, and quick time events.

 

[American Gunner]

I saw some stuff earlier on it. They said the first 60 minutes are pretty linear while they set up the story, but then it opens up and you can explore the whole island. You will come across some tombs and stuff that you can't do until you progress the story and get new tools like the arrows with rope and the climbing axe.

welp just redboxed it. i'll pick it up tomorrow on the way home from the gym after work. hopefully i get off wednesday for snow and can play it all day lol.

 

[purbeast0]

looks like i'm 99% not going into work tomorrow due to the snow that is supposed to come. i will be working from home though, but i may use some break time to get more tomb raider in. going to start it tonight for sure though when i get home.

 

[American Gunner]

My order is showing that it won't be here until the 11th, so that sucks. I guess The Show will have to hold me over until it comes in.

played this game for 3 hours tonight. this is one of the most incredible games i've ever played. it is just so well done with production values through the roof. if you thought uncharted felt like playing a movie, this takes it to a whole other level. it COULD have to do with this being the first adventure game on my big screen with my sound system too. oh and on that note, the sound is incredible too.

i'm still in awe about how fucking awesome this game is. so far it's paced VERY well and is what the next uncharted hopes to be. i'm a HUGE fan of the uncharted series but this game is a step above it imo. i hope that it sticks with the realistic feeling that is has thus far. i hope it doesn't go the direction that uncharted did as far as story goes towards the end of the games, but even if it does, i will forgive it.

just an incredible game.

 

[purbeast0]

played for like 4 more hours tonight. i'm going to say that this is probably the best game this gen. the more i play it the more it puts uncharted to shame. it is just like a non-stop movie for 7 straight hours so far. it's just an incredible game. i almost wish i bought it so that i could collect everything after i beat it and so that the devs could get my $60. but at this point since i'm redbox'ing it i'm not going to purchase it.

Good news, my game finally showed up today. But the bad news is I have to go out of town for the weekend.

 

[Baked]

Sweet, I can't wait until it's free on PSN Gold so I can play it.

 

[purbeast0]

what is psn gold?

 

[American Gunner]

I just know it's way better than XB+

 

[purbeast0]

i just finished it. holy shit the game is just incredible. it is just non-stop awesomeness.

also, the very last part that you control in the game pays nice homeage to the fans of the series. you will know what i mean when you beat it

Looks like they took some notes from Uncharted series. Not really interested personally, they had their chances plenty of times to get Tomb Raider right. They are now out of chances with me regardless how many ppl say this game is great.
