is that a chibi nathan drake?
I am enjoying this game ten fold more than Fallout 4. I appreciate all of the polish and attention to so many little details. It's also fun as hell.
Yes it is. Thought it looked awesome.

You know, we're not even gonna get proper sales numbers for ROTR until like 2017. So if they're gonna do a follow-up, will CD not get a greenlight until then? It's unlikely they'll do it just with one platform's sale.
I was going to post a screenshot to show off the little details, I mean even the snow trails have thier own system, the storm slowly covers you tracks but the faint imprints can still be seen. I didn't expect this from CD, theyre reaching ND/Remedy/Rocksteady status imo
It's funny you mention that, because the other night I was playing and said to myself, "CD is another Naughty Dog." No doubt about it, they are that damn good. I would argue they are even better when it comes to level design and even with all of Lara's little animations and expressions.

I've only played the first 30-45 minutes or so but I'm already reminded why I loved the first game so much. It was a sleeper to me but quickly became one of my favorite games ever. I love the cinematic nature of it.

The game isn't out a week yet
Just wait until you hit a proper tomb, which will be about the second one or so you come across.
Wow, high praise, I'm looking forward to finding out !

Honestly, this is easily one of the most graphically and artistically impressive games ever made.
Its s a grandiose statement yeah, but quite frankly its true. I just reached the Geothermal Valley, and the sequence you do to reach it is astounding.
Spoilers for the sequence:
This feels cinematic in a way which I adore, because the slight film grain and the choreography and rhythm of the action and combat scenes make it feel like a film in the best possible way!

Spoilers for the sequence:
From the linear run bit at the start to the awesome fight out in the exploding columns, to the arena lit by the flares. I cannot think of a better looking or even feeling sequence in a game of this style.

It's a question worth asking, I think

It will probably have been greenlit already or in the pitch process. Doubt they're going to sit on this engine and tech, twiddling their thumbs for a year.
I imagine SE is a litte pissed about how the whole thing went down in hindsight but I doubt they'll not continue the franchise. I expect Dawn of the Tomb Raider to be multiplat at launch as well.

There will be a sequel regardless. Unless sales are completely abysmal across all platforms, but even in that event they'd probably just spend a few years reinventing the brand again.
I like this game a lot, and it looks absolutely amazing, but it's not hitting the wow factor of the first for me. I really loved that game, and while this is still very good and the tombs are awesome (of the ones I've seen), it's not on the same level.
Still, I'm enjoying my time with it. Great game.

Minor complaint about the story. Somewhat early spoilers:
Did anyone else felt like the Ana reveal didn't have any emotional weight?
Would've been better if they had a more familiar face turning against us. Also, the moment I saw her on the chair I knew where this was going, there weren't any hints before that Trinity was targetting Lara's closed ones

Is anyone buying the season pass? As it's $30, I figure it would be cheaper to double dip on the PC version during a Steam sale than to buy the season pass for the Xbox One (unless Square-Enix is brave/stupid enough to charge full price for the game and not include the season pass content with the PC/PS4 releases).
I don't usually buy a season pass, and since the season pass for this game is meant more for replaying purposes, it seems kind of skippable to be honest. The game is really fun, but like the first game, it seems more like a one and done type game. Assuming you get all the tombs done on the first try at least.

What a long time to wait for this. Oh well
There are alot of cool little details.
The movement of her eyes and face produce a realism.
Last night I got the shotgun. While aiming I was near a doorway. Lara shifted her stance and angle on the shotgun to maintain the aim. It wasn't quite a cover snap animation, and would go back to normal aim when away from the wall.

It's up there with The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne for my GOTY as well. I can never pick just one.
IMPORTANT
there is a game breaking bug near the end, make sure you always have pistol ammo as there is a scripted section that requires you to shoot an enemy, if you are out of ammo you cannot shoot the enemy which results in death. There is no way to get any pistol ammo at this point. I need to wait for a patch to finish the game I'm pretty pisssed.

Same, I haven't even finished it yet but atm I'm on the fence between this and Arkham Knight.
Thanks for this.
should maybe be in the OP
Same, at the start of the year I would have thought MGS V would be my GOTY, but for me it is probably this or Witcher 3 wth Bloodborne and Halo slightly behind.
How do I get other outfits/costumes?
They aren't done building content for this game yet , I imagine a few bits of DLC , maybe an extra episode (single player side story or something) and beyond that you've got a forthcoming PC port followed by a PS4 port. None of this stuff will happen on its own so CD probably won't even be ready to make a new Tomb Raider until the middle of next year anyway.

This is absolutly astonishing to me. Its one of my most anticipated games, but it has made somep parts of the game so lousy for me. I'm down right pissed.
I believe its already been leaked they are working on another one.

For sure. I'm loving every bit of it and plan to 100% it.
I got one as a gift for pre-ordering. The rest you get from discovery and even card packs. I have like 3 or 4 to choose from right now.

I am really impressed with the game as well. It feels familiar to the last and yet way more polished. The views are spectacular and the amount of details and things to do, crazy good. Some of my initial complaints where aiming but later on I upgraded my weapons enough to stabilize and focus my aim better; no perfect but better.
Rise of the Tomb Raider and, without a doubt Witcher 3 are definitely my GOTY contenders.
Batteries low? Controller disables vibration in that case.
Btw score attack mode is damn fun. The tombs are pretty straight forward and you just have to remember the puzzle and then execute while collecting stuff and shooting the lamps.
The open levels you really have to plan you route and then do it pretty much flawlessly if you want the big points.
