The new Tomb Raider is incredible

[EchoedTruth]

Story, gameplay, impact, it has it all. Best graphics I have ever seen on console (PS3 - haven't played on PC yet). This game is incredible.

That is all. :cool:

Are you a huge tomb raider fanboy? Or a neutral observer?

OMG LMFAO!!! the end of that video is great!

Somewhere towards the observer side. I really liked the original, but the rest never really piqued my interest. I can honestly say this game is one of the best on PS3 (Or Xbox360) - I'd say top 5, along with Far Cry 3, Ni no Kuni, Max Payne 3, and MGS4 (with Mortal Kombat and GTA4 being right behind!).

Last one I had was on the Dreamcast, and it just felt like the same thing re-hashed.

On that point, it makes me wonder why I've bought the last 3 Call of Duty's :/

Lol @ Conan - that's a great review!

Lol I honestly liked Black Ops 2 (first one I've liked since MW1). This game is nowhere near a rehash though. It's violent, dark, and scary, honestly. Best gameplay/combat I've ever seen in a 3rd person game - makes Uncharted look like last-gen (and I loved the UC series, beat them all).

So this game is before the huge mansion, the implants and the "go fuck yourself" attitude?

interesting.

Lol it's a total reboot. It's like comparing George Clooney Batman to Christian Bale Batman. Total 180. The story is killer, and very dark.

I like my idea better.

Plus, Michael Keaton batman was the best.

Conan video is amazing.

Buy this game! (Shameless self advertisement)

Hate realistic graphics. Next.

... If you skip this game because of the graphics you should probably go drown yourself asap :confused:

No. I'm going to skip it because it's just another lame Tomb Raider game, with a bunch of other crap that I don't like.

Ok two questions:

1. Why post in a thread that is espousing how great Tomb Raider is, if you don't like Tomb Raider? Furthermore, how can you even say you don't like Tomb Raider, when it is clearly miles ahead (and totally different than) of any of the past games?

2. On what planet is a game that is a complete revamp of the series, with better gameplay/combat mechanics/graphics than arguably any other game on the market, not to mention an INCREDIBLE story... "just another Tomb Raider game" ?

I look forward to your informed and reasonable response! :D

[jerok88]

I want to play this but I'm in the middle of Borderlands 2 lol.

But yeah this game looks sexy (in many ways)

1. Because it exists.
2. It's not totally different.

Looks like they married Tomb Raider with Call of Duty, another game I cannot stand, combining the worst elements of both, imo. The graphics are a major turnoff, as are the gameplay and combat mechanics. And the story is just meh, like every other Tomb Raider.

I saw you complaining about Kate Upton in the other thread too... JFC man pull the stick out of your ass. If you hate everything then keep it to yourself, and quit being a whiny bitch.

If there's one thing I hate in a game, it's good graphics!

Looks like the first Tomb Raider game I would be willing to play.

[Bardalicious]

I rented this for PS3 today because of this thread. I'm fairly turned off by the game already because of the abundance of shitty cinematic "push the right button or die" cut scenes.

[Tenlaar]

Resident Evil 6 has way too many of those as well. One of the most annoying things they do in games now to me.

I am not a fan of QTE's, but honestly Tomb Raider has far less than most games, including Uncharted. I guess it's just something we have to live with these days.

[Zadrian]

Umbrella Chronicles was riddled with those, it was ridiculously tedious and not fun.

They did it well in Res evil 5, though.
