Tomb Raider (Crystal Dynamics' 4th)

[Diff-chan]

I got the bow and was all "WTF is this shit? When do I get a gun?" Then proceeded to hardly ever use the gun, as sniping with the bow was both more fun and efficient.

I've had a tough time getting into the flow of combat. I snipe a guy with the bow, then they all spot me and bumrush me. Lara can only take a few hits.

The dodge/stab is your friend, but you do need to keep moving if there are more than a couple guys right on you.

[Gondolin]

What Yoshi said.

The only real glitch that I experienced was when Lara's textures went all blackface from the neck up during what was supposed to be an emotional cutscene when Roth dies. It was both strange and hilarious.

This is like $15 on GMG for PC for the next 5 and a half hours.

[MechDeus]

Good call, thanks!

Game is $17 and there's a 20% off coupon on their Hot Deals page so it comes out to $13.60 in case anyone cares about the exact cost.

Blech. I hadn't considered but am not surprised by this extreme form of laziness. "Let's take the PC versions of our last gen games and re-release them for the current gen!" If it sells though, I can't blame them.

[GohanX]

If the rereleases are cheap I'm fine with it.

[Yoshi]

You mean like the $60 Deus Ex on Wii U? Good luck with that.

[Joust Williams]

I already have the current gen version

[bVork]

I don't see this as a bad thing. If they've already gone to the effort of making higher resolution textures and better quality textures, why not re-use them for a console re-release so that more people can play the game as it is meant to be played?

I wonder if this is the beginning of a trend. I wouldn't mind seeing next-gen versions of games like Sleeping Dogs and DmC, both of which are night-and-day on console and PC.
