The new title should be:

Rise of the Tomb Raider |OT|: Uncharted lite; will buy next year; ludonarrative dissonance galore; AAA check-list: the game; want tombs? Play Tomb Raider Anniversary.

I think you may want to rethink this post

Is it me or marketing for RotTR is really poor?

Sadly, poor as shit.

 

[dancrane212]

just gonna copy and paste my initial impressions.

Between impressions like this and a quick glance at the review thread looks like I'll be keeping my E3 order. I was a bit hesitant since I have mixed feeling on the previous game (that ultimately end up being more positive than negative) but I'm ready to jump in and give it another shot.

 

[FaintDeftone]

I'm actually more excited for this game than I am Fallout 4...

Well, I did slightly edit the post seconds after you quoted me.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

I'm actually more excited for this game than I am Fallout 4...

Yeah me too by far. I thoroughly enjoyed the last game so this is probably one of my most anticipated games in some time. I just couldn't get into Fallout 3 so not a whole lot of interest in 4. So it's Tomb Raider plus Just Cause 3 for me for the rest of this year (and maybe Earth Defense Force).

 

[Oneself]

TR2013 was great, f the haters. If I had a One I'd be all over Rise. More of the same + tombs is garanteed to be a good time.


Anyone knows if the PS4 version is handled by Nixxes? I'd love that, especially if they try to hit 60fps again.

Rise of the Tomb Raider OT | Feat. 20% more tombs and 80% more salt from Playstation Fanboys

See, it works both ways

Still discussing OT title this many pages in makes me sad

I was waiting for after Xmas to get this in January but I think I will bite early. I loved the first one and this sounds like it's headed in the right direction!

 

[Skiptastic]

Super excited about the great reviews! Game looks great. I loved TRDE on XBO and have high hopes for this one, too.

 

[Death Metalist]

Very excited for this game, going to hit stores here any moment now.

 

[Grisby]

Can't wait for tomorrow. My Xbox has been putting in the work lately, between this and halo 5.

Lol.
More people complaining for the thread title than people making jokes out of it.
It's a joke c'mon.

It's a big console AAA exclusive thread, there's going to be tons of fanboyism back and forth as is, no need to add fuel to the fire.

More realistic title:
Rise of the Tomb Raider |OT|: A thread where a lot of console warriors will get banned.

 

[plagiarize]

I've really enjoyed all of the Crystal Dynamics games, and thought the reboot was the best of them all. Partly that comes from my love of games with a strong sense of place, and Tomb Raider did a fantastic job with it's island setting. Rarely do I continue playing a game after I have beaten it to find all the little doo dads, but with Tomb Raider I did just that because I wasn't done spending time on that island.

I know this one is going to be more jet setty like the previous games, and I'm okay with that. I won't be surprised if I find this the weaker of the two, but I'll stop buying CD's Tomb Raider games day one when they start letting me down. Strong reviews would suggest that tomorrow is not the day the start letting me down.

I haven't been following trailers. I don't know the story. All I know of the locations is that there is snow and there is not snow. No idea about the characters.

The last one had great game play and beautiful visuals. This one is at least going to tick both of those boxes... so I can't wait. Obviously. Buying the Xbox One version sort of states that.

 

[Falchion]

Great OT, going to be picking this up as soon as I finish replaying the Definitive Edition.

 

[tapedeck]

I'm pretty damn hyped for this game, hope it reviews well.

Edit: Somehow I missed the review thread on this same page lol. Reviews seem very good!

I missed this, but awesome OT.

 

[Drewfonse]

I'm really looking forward to this. A number of reviews have listed the story as a plus, which was unexpected. Should be great.

Add me to the "I was gonna get Fallout 4...." camp

 

[Pilgrimzero]

I just want to know if they give her the iconic dual pistols in this game or are they still trying to make Katniss... i mean Lara... a bow user.

 

[catmario]

Just opened digital copy on my XBONE.

Pretty nice!

 

[VinFTW]

What was the original title?

 

[jond76]

Gonna tackle this before Fallout I think.

 

[Navy Bean]

Decided to get this before Fallout 4... Can't wait to jump into a good action/adventure after playing a ton of FPS's lately. Any idea on length?

Getting shipped out from Amazon for me today but I probably won't be playing it for a few weeks until after I finish Fallout.

One of the reviews, maybe game informer, mentioned 15 hrs average, 30-40 conpletionist

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I'm digging the green long sleeve half button shirt she wears in the game. She must shop at the same store Drake and Jake go to.

 

[Pankratous]

What was the original title?

75% less customers.

 

[PanicFreak]

I have a game's worth of store credit at Gamestop. This game will have it.

 

[Thebeardofknowledge]

😂😭😂😭😂😭😂😭😂

OG title was amazing

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

For those that didn't know Best Buy is running a deal right now where if you buy Tomb Raider you can get Madden, Fifa, GTAV, Forza 6, or Halo 5 for $25 off.

Is it an internet deal?

 

[Eos]

Since FO4 runs like shit, I'll probably just pick this up instead. I liked the 2013 tomb raider game.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/offer/139091/pcmcat748300699145.c?id=pcmcat748300699145

I think it's an online only deal.

 

[Ceadeus]

Imma buy once it drops in price. Fallout4 is more important release for me.

Shit, that's a great deal. Now I have to think about whether I want Forza 6 or not haha

 

[ChosenPredator]

That title sounds salty as hell.

well when you look where its being posted and see all the other tomb raider threads, you'll know why. lol

 

[Squire]

Same. I kinda like that some people didn't like it too, though. I'm interested to see how it goes for me. I enjoyed the story in Halo 5 when most people didn't like it in reviews.

 

[DagnastyEp]

I really enjoyed Tomb Raider (2013), and was waiting till reviews drop before I pre-ordered. Now that I've read a few of them, I've got my preorder locked in. Can't wait to check it out!

Fallout has been getting some awesome reviews as well, I think I'm going to have to wait for later in the year to pick that up (mostly due to time constraints).

Cool video, though, I feel like a fan made video would've been better edited at this point.

I thought it was hilarious, personally.

 

[BuffetChamp]

Been waiting like a mother fucker all year.
Hurry up and ship my copy Microsoft!
(taps fork against crystal dish ala Fancy Feast)

Bwahahaha!

 

[rob305]

Cant wait for tonight, game is preordered and sitting on my xbox. I have a feeling this is going to be my GOTY (this or just cause 3)

 

[dreamfall]

SO EXCITED!

Ready to just spend a ton of time exploring, collecting and changing outfits ! The tombs sound so much better this go!

 

[digoutyoursoul]

LOL at the thread title shannigans

I wonder who it was....hmmmmm

 

[TheSlySoul]

Sadly, poor as shit.

Yeah, seen zero ads for it. It is a shame since this holiday season is weak and sales are best chance now.
Edit: I laughed at the OP title. Tombs felt like a background in the 2013 reboot.
