The controls shouldn't have been an issue in the first place. I don't care if it was 8 years ago. You don't hear about that shit with games like Mario 64 or most 16 bit titles.
I really wanted to like Tomb Raider, but my mind wasn't so glossed over with Lara Croft marketing, to not realise it's problems. In the end, the game was just another average platform adventure game, with a poorly designed control setup.
Well, the controls weren't an issue for many people. As it's been stated, maybe people who aren't particularly good at games had the majority of the problems? Sure, the controls took some getting used to (unlike Mario 64 [Miyamoto] or most 16 bit titles [which are virtually all 2D so that's not really fair]) but, with a minimum of practice, they worked perfectly for TR where the environment was the puzzles, in the form of, Hmm, how am I going to get up there?Quote:

I never gave a shit about the "Lara" hype machine. I also think that is what ruined the franchise. They focused on Lara and not on the adventure game after part 1. If you look back you'll see what I mean. Core wasn't the ones pushing the Lara shit. It was Eidos after they purchased Core, right before TR1 hit the market.
Like I said earlier, it's cool if you don't like it, but don't assume that everyone who does like it only does because they got caught up in the Lara hype.
If it aggrivates you to that degree, I suggest you post elsewhere.Quote:

And all will be well in the world.
Feel better?
Regarding Madden: Granted, I haven't played a Madden game in ages, but I can't every remember being that close to a player on screen. It was always "god view".
I was a big fan of what Core did on the Sega CD. I know the whole Eidos buyout as well. We all know that TR was designed for the Saturn too. I can recognise what was/is great about the first Tomb Raider as well. I'm not saying that the first game didn't have it's moments, but without the hype machine behind it, the game probably would have had a niche audience and more than likely would have been overlooked by a good portion of gamers.Quote:

Ohhhhh, I get it. I am on the edge of my seat...er, yeah." And GC critics think Metroid Prime is slow moving and dull...
Anyways, everything Glass Joe said. The N64 pad ate the PS1's D pad for breakfast (except for shooters/old school platformers obviously). And both the N64 analog and GC analog are miles better and more comfy than the dual shock sticks.
Zelda is for homosexuals.Quote:
