This game got a ton of great reviews? Shocking. Can't wait to play it!

 

[SomTervo]

That's hardly a surprise is it?

Hardly.

(A surprise.)

 

[AmaterasuOni]

Shit I forgot Tomb Raider is still coming to the PS4.

It is? Care, lol?

Bargain bin/second hand game for me at this point.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

How could this have happened?!!

 

[SmellyHoundRedux]

You may as well wait for the inevitable remaster on ps5

And then the collection on PS6, with Uncharted 4 (remastered), Uncharted 5: Drake and The Thievius Raccoonus and Uncharted 6: Drake by the Six.

What is a Tom Braider????

A cheating American football player.

 

[Servbot24]

None of us have played it, that's why I'm pointing out someone who already believes that. That's why I called it hyperbole. Then how are you agreeing with a person who believes Uncharted 4 is redefining this gen?

The user was saying it has happened before and could very well happen again, not that it definitively has happened.

 

[pieface]

Don't have a PS4, want to play this game. What to do?

Anyone fancy lending me their PS4?

 

[TONX]

Is there an Easy Allies review of this yet?

Remote/shareplay someones copy.

 

[Strootman]

Does anyone know if the gamespot review contains serious spoilers? To watch or not to watch...

Edit: Thanks, trying to hold out

Nah, it's fine, just watched it

Get a PS4. It's cheap. You can buy a new one for ~€270 in Europe.

 

[cackhyena]

People shitting on Rise of the Tomb Raider smh.

 

[Gurish]

Didn't watch, fuck it the game is out in 5 days, reviewes proved to be irresponsible in the past, not taking a chance.

 

[SomTervo]

Just don't

 

[VeryNicePerson]

Not explicitly, but

Minute-to-minute, Lara shines. She’s confident and smart, and reacts to danger with an action hero’s calmness and intuition. Yet she’s scarred by her last adventure, so she carries a sort of charismatic weariness that tinges her quips with self-deprecation. As a character, Lara Croft has never been so endearing.

If this isn't a compliment on writing, I don't know what is.

I like ROTR but the story and characters should not even be mentioned. Seriously.

 

[Markoman]

A cheating American football player.

Ah, I see. But why is he coming to PS4? And how is this related to an UC4 review thread?
I don't get it...

 

[Spring Drive]

So how bad is the downgrade?

 

[Loudninja]

Nvm.

 

[robo]

Away from home next week, won't get my copy till Thursday 😞😥

 

[w0s]

Your dismissal is sad. Very fun. Well worth the play through.

 

[rdytoroll]

Oh, I thought this was out today. Nevermind, I'll lose interest by then.

You gotta carry the hype over to next week dude

 

[Mupod]

8.8? Damn where's my Gerstmann gifs.

 

[FATALITY]

People shitting on Rise of the Tomb Raider smh.

Who's shitting?
Last time I checked tr was a pretty good game.

 

[SmellyHoundRedux]

Wait for the mobile port?

 

[StrongBlackVine]

So how bad is the downgrade?

There is no downgrade and performance is rock solid.

 

[tilomite!]

Good scores. Good to see the transition to more powerful hardware didn't hurt the game.

1) not as good as TLOU
2) story "doesn't quite come together"

 

[Xav]

Just noticed that the metacritic score is higher than ROTR


On your left Ms. Croft.

Unlike DC vs Marvel, the Crystal Dynamics vs Naughty Dog competition has resulted in great games for fans of both.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

Your dismissal is sad. Very fun. Well worth the play through.

I know. I liked the "first" one a lot. But I want to boycott these kind of decisions, so here I am waiting the game to be almost free.

 

[Gurish]

So how bad is the downgrade?

Didn't see how the original reveal compares but all the gameplay we've seen since is actually much improved visually.

I am. Kinda? I've not played it yet, but I could write an essay bitching about its predecessor.

Haven't played it yet but I already accepted I'd probably still like TLoU more. Joel > Nate. No matter what they done with UC4 it's still finishing the story of characters I really like, but I prefer TLoU's settings/characters and tone.

 

[Falchion]

Wow, that's a ton of perfect scores!

 

[FATALITY]

LOL fair enough. But come on the first tomb raider deserves at least a 85

 

[wild wild rice]

Well I guess I'm glad to be forewarned about the apparently long, slow opening.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Both were amazing games. I like the first reboot a little more than Rise. I'm a huge fan of the series and while they were different than the other games, I still liked them. I do wish they'd go back and make a tradition Tomb Raider, like Underworld or Anniversary.

 

[Cornbread78]

Well, I guess it's going to be good. Now, the debate will come when I pick up my pre-order Tuesday. Do I did in right away of finish the 2nd half of UC3 remaster first before I dig in..... I mean, I've already played 3 before, so....

 

[Auto_aim1]

So it took the Kotaku guy 17 hours to finish the game? Not bad considering the other games were in 10-12 hour range. The wait for this game has been really painful, I really hope I can get a copy before May 10.

But is the gameplay better? I play Uncharted for the spectacle primarily, and this game looks like will deliver on that.

Shooting sections are now a highlight, not a drag.

Wow. Now I'm actually hyped.

Yeah I am starting on UC3 again today so I should be able to beat it before release.

 

[lukeskymac]

Colin Moriarty's comments on the Kinda Funny video seem to be mostly his incredulity over how ND does cinematic games better than everyone else.

He says yes

[Ricky_R]

To think that I'll have to wait till the 16th (at the least) to play this game...

 

[Lion Heart]

My 92 prediction might fail, but there's still time. Honestly I was sure this type of game wouldn't be able to receive scores like that anymore, glad to know reviewers still appreciate a good story driven non RPG.

 

[oti]

But where are the reviews for the REAL Uncharted?
