Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness

[sleeve]

As a longtime fan of the film Krull, I confess to a slight interest in this game. That dude with the glaive sounds pretty cool, and anything that emulates Splinter Cell is okay in my book.

However, this game carries so many bad omens with it, I can't help but think it's going to be a huge pile. No previews, no reviewable copies, only one or two playable demo kiosks at E3, and constant delays.

This game just reeks of disaster.

Hate, hate, hate. And then people get pissed off for me bashing Nintendo. Not one TR thread went without endless flames, most of which are not necessary.

You say Angel of Darkness is rip off of MGS and Splinter Cell, and I say that Mario Sunshine is Mario 64 on the Island.

So what if the game using style of other games? If it ends up as a FUN game to play, who the Fuck cares???

I hope you aren't insinuating that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness won't suck.

Here's another review for you folks:
"The verdict: I'd rather put out 2 cigars on both my nipples while rubbing icy/hot between my asscheeks than to play this game.--Craven Moorehead"

Hey, I'm not flamng TR. I just wish they had actually gone with the fact that their game is based around doing cool stuff with a hot babe, and evolved Lara as a character, plot-wise and aesthetically...as it is, she issort-of a weird mutant, not looking cartoonish, but not looking realistic either.

And since they're the progenitors of the needlessly topheavy lead heroine, they should have developed that too. She should be able to seduce guards, and then dispatch them, hold grenades in her cleavage, that sort of stuff...and you should be able to configure what she wears, including the bra and all...the different bras could affect her physics and acrobatics, with different positioning (sport bras, push ups, padded, waterbra, kevlar, etc) change her spinning and balance...or something. It would be cool if you could customize your equipment before missions too...and instead of adding some other lame character (the dude), they should have just added more moves and animations to the Lara character.

Hmm...and she should have a Devil Trigger, where she turns into this uber-succubus and...okay, I'll stop.

That actually all sounds kind of cool. I wouldn't mind her being campy and light hearted.

...well, it was more than playable behind the scenes at the Eidos booth. I recall Doug Perry saying something along the lines of "hated it"

What's funniest about that Penny Arcade is that Angel of Darkness is the SIXTH Tomb Raider game... not the fourth.

A few of my friends freaked out earlier today when they realized that. Most figured that the third one was the last. Its just that after the third Tomb Raider everyone stopped paying attention.

All you guys buying this fucking piece of shit game for your GFs/Wives, only two words spring to mind:

PUSSY WHIPPED

I'm getting it. I totally agree with Raystorm. The 1st one is still one of the greatest 3D games ever made IMO. The feeling you got when you were just lost in a level for hours was great fun. I wish they would return to that form. Hey Despair, if you played the 1st game to completion the last 1/3 of it was demons.

The wives/gf's should just buy the damn game themselves, what the hell.
