Wrong thread....like a tard
What a disappointment. :(
The gameplay, partly A+, I loved the movement around the environment.
Collecting GPS and random artefacts just lying around in the most conspicuous places, no thanks.
The environment is really pretty BUT, the way they made everything so obvious really detracted from the immersion.
The unbelieveability of the game really detracted from the experience as well. I mean it's just disaster after disaster and somehow Lara can just quickly scale 10 mountains after each other with a small ice pick, then conveniently find a rope to slide down which breaks and then she falls into a waterfall and slides around wielding a shotgun to break stuff while sliding. YEAH SURE
I know it's meant to be all tomb raidery and cool but they REALLY went over the top.
Another thing which I find relevant to so many games is the storytelling has such potential but turns out so badly. I won't include any spoilers but it really seemed to me that they completely rushed the ending of the game. I was expecting some elaborate plot twist at the end or something to give it more depth but instead they disappoint.
A potentially great game spoiled by a crap plot, completely unbelievable in any way gameplay, and dumbing down of game mechanics to make it REALLY obvious at all times what one is supposed to do.
The first negative opinion you hear and you decide you won't buy it anymore. Such a shame. I would suggest trying the game out for yourself first. I completely disagree with Pooky; it's a game, it's not supposed to be super realistic in every way possible. What he is complaining about is what makes the game awesome IMO. Don't think it's over the top at all, everything is just right and pretty damn near perfect. Also don't agree about the "bad storytelling", I can't fault the storytelling at all.
@Pooky: Have you ever played any of the Uncharted games? There is no way it is humanly possible to some of the things Drake does, but that is what makes the games awesome.
Neah mate you didn't play the same game we did.
Tomb Raider is one of the greatest games I've played in the last 3-4 years.
Its a game its meant to be over the top and awesome.
The story telling and voice acting was sublime, there were parts where I felt like I was watching a awesome movie.
Its a fantastic game.
9/10 Easy
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed playing the game. I was just disappointed at the end.
Voice acting was good yes, there are a lot of positives about the game, the environment is also done very well.
That said, the story ended really badly. There was absolutely zilch character development. Lara didn't feel like you were playing as a person. Rather as some badass cyborg that has lightning fast reflexes.
I know I'm in disagreement with most reviews and people but I would classify myself as a gamer who plays for a good story.
I really don't care at all for collectibles in games, and so I look for something that plays well and story is key. This really fell short in terms of plot. As I said, the story started well and had great potential, but then at the end quickly declined into something that really felt like a rush job.
I don't agree that just because it's a game it's meant to be 'over the top and awesome'.
