@R4gn4r0k: Agreed. But I'm not in charge. I can only cry about it on the web.

@R4gn4r0k: They can go as well.

To be fair, they really shouldn't be in video gaming to begin with. Stick to your OSseessses's.

Spend bilions to buy studios. Fire everyone. Close company.

Haha.

What a shitshow. Gosh darn, Sony. I bet every PS game is gonna get bombed now. Up next, Ghost of Kojima.

Mhm. Love to be proven wrong but this

is the problem. Wish I was a billionnaire, so I could buy up these studios and trademarks and make people put out good games. With a gun or something. Just take the financial hit and be heralded as the savior of gaming on websites like 4chan and the Steam discussion boards.

Nasty.

It's why I'm weary about old favorite games receiving modern installments. Again, I don't have to buy them, but seeing them burn ain't nice, either.

Its platforming and gunplay is way too lose. I do like Lara's scurrying like animations in combat. Makes sense for her build. Every pitfall or whatever comes down to press button to get out. There's no danger. I find the exploration lacking. The tombs improved over the games, but the open world stuff is just press button to receive xp. And I don't care about sidequests that unlock a lockpick, which is only good for pressbuttonreceivexp stuff. Mind you, that's a problem with open world games in general, which is why not every franchise should succumb to it. Tomb Raider being one of them.

It's one of those franchises that dropped its own identity to chase more successful ones that don't necessarily work with that game.

And I'll still get the next Tomb Raider and I'll most likely complain about it unless they really turned it around. And I'll gladly eat crow then because I'll have a new, good Tomb Raider game.

Also, way too dramatic storytelling and characterization, which again, is a problem with games wanting to be Schindler's List.

*edit* Gunplay is actually the least of my worries. The platforming being tap tap tap to get to your destination is. You're never forced to stand still and observe your environments to see what is up next.

@R4gn4r0k: @uninspiredcup: It's never gonna be what I ( and other fans) want it to be. Tightly designed, level based, fun and so forth. Gameplay.

If it were up to me, I'd make a game about Lara's grandmother in WW2 and how she'd try to keep world heritage out of nazi hands. You'd be going across the world, competing for artifacts and such. Also, add supernatural stuff like Wolfenstein.

Literally Indiana Jones, which is what they were going for when they made the first Tomb Raider, I believe. Indiana Jones for women and coomers.

@R4gn4r0k: Played? Sure. Enjoyed? Not really. I went through the nu-trilogy again earlier this year and I stopped at Shadow. And the years before I mostly told myself they're really not that bad. But they kinda are. Not awful bad, just not interestingly good. Bland. Like every dish Gordon tastes that wasn't made by the nice black lady.

Chloe Frazer is a much better Croft than whatever CD turned her into and I much prefer Uncharted's sense of adventure rather than CD's.
