Tomb Raider (Crystal Dynamics' 4th)

Right, which is why I gave zero fucks about the series after the first game until Legend came out. Legend may have had similar aspects like the people shooting but I thought they at least did a better job with it than Core did. I still would like a TR game about exploring with Lara being the lone human around, but that's clearly never going to happen.

Color me a lot more excited about this than I was yesterday!

You don't tell me what to color.

Come on now.

How many of us DIDN'T make Lara die in horrible gruesom ways when we were playing Tomb Raider 1 and 2. My bud and I had a contest to find the most gruesome death.

Everything I've seen about this game makes me want to avoid it. Not because it looks like a bad game (although what I've seen looks kind of awful) but because it looks like a terrible Tomb Raider game. I'm a big fan of the isolated, Lara versus the environment + endangered animals from Tomb Raider 1 and Anniversary. The action-oriented manshoots bored me from the very beginning and bringing that style into the new engine kind of makes Lara look like a psychopath.

Yeah, being lost for what felt like hours at a time just exploring the environments was when this series was at its best. Part 1 still did this better than any other one in the series but I thought that last one went a long way getting this series back in the right direction. I have avoided reading anything about this but the last few posts now have me concerned that they are going with a lot more human activity in this one.

This game sounds awesome.

What's funny is that this review and the IGN review seem at odds with each other.

The end is amazing.

PS - if you don't see the Uncharted influence I don't know what to tell you.
