Rise of the Tomb Raider OT | Feat. 20% more tombs and 75% more chastising OP's title
- Thread starter Harlequin
- Start date
There were 7 (8 if you count the DLC) in the last one. This game has 10 challenge tombs (9 are optional and one is forced in the main path and they are much better this time). The game also has several optional caves and crypts to explore but there are no puzzles. The main story has 3 large tomb areas.

Two questions....
Will there be cool outfits later in the game,so far it's the red winter jacket and the black leather jacket. Surely you unlock them in the game?
As for the swimming, i like it, but will i be able to truly just swim underwater later on and for longer periods?

Yes you get several more outfits. Theres a video on IGN if you want to see them. Havent encountered deeper swimming yet, maybe Lara doesnt like the water?
Yes you will. There is a re-breather that you unlock through the story that allows you to stay underwater indefinitely.

Played two hours tonight. Absolutely gorgeous and already more fun than the last game. Stealth feels great too. I do agree with DF about the odd graphical issues, but the overall package is jaw dropping. The only thing bothering me is the input lag. It doesn't hamper jumping much, but aiming feels heavy in a very uncomfortable way. The game is still very playable but would feel so much better with reduced latency.

Oh that's nice, but does that mean i can dive further down and truly explore underwater or is it like in Syria's tomb? (i am not far yet)
Not really. There is nothing to explore underwater to speak of. You can't collect stuff or anything. It is just needed to gain access to tombs and caves.

The beginning of this game is incredible. The diversity in environments/locales reminds me a bit of Evil Within

Looks good but seriously what the hell did they do to her face.

Have so far 5 hours in this game, loving it alot and it looks fucking nuts. 3 pics from the first hour, won't take anymore since spoilers and shit but things get way better when you upgrade and the game opens up more.
Can't wait to see what it looks like on PC.

Thanks man
Not good enough considering they are optional though. Make some longer and harder puzzles if they are optional. Therein also lies the problem I think. There is limited time and budget you can spend on stuff that is optional and some players might not even see.
Make them part of the main story again and flesh them out even further with clever puzzles. Then we can talk.

Just started playing and holy shot the graphics are amazing.
Seriously can't tell if these cutscenes are in game or pre recorded.

I also thought some of the cutscenes were CG. >.>
The game really does look awesome. Wait until you get to Geothermal Valley. I still haven't moved on from that area since arriving there yesterday.
You should goto the Square forums and report it also.
They acknowledged and apologized to me, said they are escalating this to be worked on.
I'll probably restart soon because it's THAT good, but need a couple days to cool down from it.
Hav e you guys tried out the backup save? Press RT and LT at the same time when loading a save and it should display a backup save from a while ago. Maybe that helps if it is before the glitch?

Next year.
Next year.
Yes I've tried. It does take me back a few minutes before hand. In fact my video is the back up
Sadly it's glitched no matter what for me.

The amount of detail put into the environment is amazing. I spent the last hour just wandering around looking at everything in the first mission.
I also have to give a shoutout to the Lara's character. No more quickime fights those seem to be in cutscenes like they should be. And Lara is no longer breathing and whining into my ear every 3 seconds. It's such a great change compared to early today when I played through the first game again.

anyone having a problem booting the game? I am just getting a black screen. Tried reinstalling and restarting the Xbox one. Other games are working and never had this problem before.
So my Xbox is in my home theater. It's a 106" screen. The transition from cutscene to gameplay is jarring at that size. The first scene where they're climbing the mountain I freaked out a bit because it was blurry. The moment they give you control of Lara it's like a filter is lifted off the lens and it's sharp.

Unfortunately I've encountered a bug that doesn't allow me to finish Challenge Tomb:
. Other people are reporting this bug on the official forum. I captured a video and uploaded it to Youtube so they could see it. Hopefully it gets fixed, because not being able to finish one of the first Challenges is pissing me off.

That's the main area of the game. You still have quite a bit left, especially if you do some optional stuff.

When you replay levels does the map not give you a checklist of items to collect? I'm replaying the Syria level cuz I missed a Relic but it's there's no list for me to see.
Thanks. Good to hear. Loving it so far, so addicting.
