Um, wow.
Just picked this up w the target buy 2 get 1 deal, also got Fallout 4 and Black Ops 3. Yeah I've got no time to play all 3 but I'll try lol.
I played 4 hours straight of TR and had to stop myself, this game is freaking fantastic, I love everything about it so far.

All challenge tombs have a base camp except the first one, the ice ship.

Yeah, it's a shame that she's not in the game at all (afaik).
Ha, that would make sense that I didn't know this as I've only just started my second one.

The comics fill in the gaps between what happened in Tomb Raider and Rise. Mentions the therapist we've seen in the trailer etc.
If you don't want to buy the comics you can just read the summary in this Polygon article to get an idea why Sam is not in the game.

Indeed. I absolutely love this game.
Why the hell am I running around trying to catch chickens?
Means you can't get to them yet. They might be behind a metal barrier that you need explosive stuff for example.
The monoliths have a lock over them if you don't have enough proficiency in the language required to decrypt them etc.

You don't have the specific gear yet that you get by playing through the story.

Love this game so damn much. I think Crystal Dynamics nailed the amount of tombs and combat. This game is so much better than their super short pre Tomb Raider 2013 games. I just hope the next game takes place in a place that is not cold (especial considering how nice Syria looked for the brief time you were there).
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but you can download each song from the official soundtrack from
Crystal Dynamics' Soundcloud page
From what I understand, there's one song missing, though. this one - not available for download
Note: They're like... aif files, not mp3s.
edit: more "official" link for the Karen O song.
Genuinely one of the worst books I have ever read. Double spaced all to hell and it was clear it wasn't written for storytelling but for a paycheck.

Amazing. Dem environments!
Ugh damn the exclusive deal, through granted I wouldn't have been able to play this now anyway heh.
But anyway, beside the amount of combat still around (guess it makes sense with all the upgrading, but god please least have some good amount of variety in enemies then along with balancing out some er more quiet moments heh), I glad it seems just about all of my issues with TR2013 has improve, maybe could push some even further, but I take it.
Too bad there only 9 challenge tombs (least so far, hopefully there be more via DLC), but well either way, step up from those pitiful tombs in 2013 from the looks of it.

Yeah they are definitely a step up. You at least have to explore and experiment a little to figure out the puzzles. There were a couple of quiet moments in the campaign. There are more places where you just do some platforming and there are a couple puzzles in the campaign.

I have a very high end pc but don't want to wait to play this. Should I get it for my xbox one or just wait?
All these positive impressions of this game are making it real hard to wait for it to come out on PC.
I almost might just cave in and get it on Xbox One at this point. I really loved playing through the first one earlier this year.
You have a One? Just get it, it looks and plays great.
No game has made me feel so cold, can almost feel the frost bite setting in. Brrrrrr
Your missing out, it looks fantastic on X1, you'll have an incredible ride.

Truth. Whenever I'm in the Soviet part of the map I have to get the warmer clothes out. Can't have my girl freezing.
Hit the second 'hub' area today. Feels a bit like Skyrim.
Framerate is noticeably worse in the area, but it's not too distracting.

Urg, yeah, it was a stinker. Still haven't finished it.
A good improvement on the reboot. Still easy overall but the puzzles require exploration and experimentation this time at least. You wont walk into a room and instantly know what to do. Overall balance is hard to say as i spent a lot of time exploring and doing optional tombs and missions.

This is a cinema right? Can't be the actual game eng...oh my God, it's the game.
This is the best looking game I've ever seen. CD's artists are amazing.

This is the best looking game of the gen for me, and by far. Of course some of it comes down to art, but between lara's model and the environments.. 30 minutes in and I am completely blown away.
One thing that gets really old, both in uncharted and TR:
One thing that gets really old, both in uncharted and TR:
why is everything constantly collapsing? Lara and Nathan are both made of dark matter and pretty much destroy the structural integrity of everything they touch. 5 minutes in the game, and THREE times, we see Lara hanging off a huge cliff by her little metal axe. It's cool, but overdone, it gets tedious and so expected that there is no dramatic tension, just a micro-cutscene taking me away from the game
Played through the game a bit more. Based on my early impressions, Square Enix was fucking insane to have no confidence in the game and sign that timed exclusivity deal. The game is easily a massive step up from the first one in practically every category, though the story still isn't great. But I'm not really playing the game for story, I'll leave Uncharted to scratch that itch.

We spent a good amount of time discussing this today in our podcast and it brought me to the realization that its the top contender for game of the year for me.
I laughed out loud at times during the game. Described it in the review as a world made of graham crackers.
wohoooo
Man.. Looks beautiful
