Tomb Raider (2013) discussion thread

The game is out and a few of us probably have the game now...

So, let's get discussing:D.

I've played an hour and a half now, and I must say the game and Lara's hair:D are beautiful (TressFX, seriously, it'll distract you :eek:). So far the story unfolding seems very interesting and the gameplay aspect is solid (when you're allowed to play and not just be part of an interactive story:rolleyes:)

I must admit though, I know it's only been roughly over an hour of gameplay, but those QTEs are just a bit much. I also hope the hand holding isn't as much later in the game as it is at the moment.

Otherwise, I'm enjoying the game and can tell that I'm in for some epic gaming with this one:)

I started my update on steam but my line has gotten really slow lately, maybe I can get some game time this weekend but I have 4 tests to study for so maybe in the evening I might get some play time.

What GPU are you running? It looks like TressFX is cutting most peoples fps in half.

HD 6870, I'm getting 40 fps on average.

How many QTEs? Because they really do get annoying.

I love the TressFX but yeah it hurts... need to maybe overclock my CPU. My specs is i3 2120, 8GB Ram and a nVidia GTX570. I think I can assume my GFX is fine.

It's dependant on your GPU, but it's an AMD technology so it's probably better optimised to run on AMD GPU's.

Apparently they get way less later in the game. But in that 1st 1 - 2 hours? My God! They're plenty...

Toggle left and right to get free, left to dodge falling boulder, press F to knee your aggressor, tap F to bite him, F to get the gun in the power struggle, E to shoot... Right mouse to shoot the wolf lunging at you in slo mo, and the list goes on... The frequency is what gets to you:rolleyes:, it reminds me of those BF3 QTEs.

Meh, it's AMD's proprietary tech just like Nvidia's PhysX.
