Now is the best time to get done what you want to get done. The actual point of no return isn't until before the last encounter, and it tells you that it is the point of no return. However, after you go into that place the fighting ramps up a ton so it's best to get your upgrades now so you get more than one fight of use out of them.
I heard this as well. It was driving me crazy. I didn't hear anyone mention it before this. Thought maybe I was just crazy already... haha.
I've been a huge fan of this series. Played and enjoyed all the classic games but I'm probably a minority as I genuinely love the direction of the newer ones too. Just really happy to see this series alive and all the attention it has been getting. Really never thought I would see Tomb Raider and GOTY in the same sentence. I read a lot here how this game is not really a system seller but to be honest I was tempted to buy the Xbox just to play it. I decided to wait for the PS4 version....but goddamn browsing through this thread made it much harder.

Finished the game, loved it, one of the best games of the year, and I've played almost all of them (on console, anyway).
How many of you went back and got the achievements and extra stuff, and did you enjoy it? Trying to decide whether to strike while the amber is hot and trade this in now, or try to %100 it. I loved it, just so many damn games to play.

The first didn't really hook me but really enjoying this one so far. Also being able to plug in my controller to my Xbox one and play anywhere my makes it even better.

Yeah Forza 6 is down to $40 as well. Got it on Black Friday for slightly less but I haven't seen a deal on Tomb Raider until now.

Really enjoyed it, apart from the last section.
I fell foul to a massive game breaking bug just near the end and had to back track an hour or so after trying to work around it.

make sure your pistol has bullets before climbing the tower in katetch when the glacier opens up and the chopper appears. If you have no ammo left a cut scene occurs where you'll never, ever be able to beat it as you'll keep dying. You have to have pistol ammo
Loving every minute of this game, are there any more tombs than what is in the main 2 areas, I have done 12 or 8 if I recall...
my only gripe about the tombs is the same page on the book and the same prize, would of been cool if the end of each tomb was something different to collect

I don't know how I feel about Trinity being the big bad of this reboot. I get the series needs some over-arching evil organization to explain half of Lara's reason for wanting to discover all of the world's powerful secrets but Trinity comes off as some corny Illuminati type villains. I enjoy the story when it's focused more on the supernatural affecting the world around them.

This game is just amazing. CD should be proud and I hope they can build on this for the next one
I did all of it before I finished it, but I was enjoying the game a lot so I was happy to keep playing. It could add on a lot of hours, so don't do it unless you'll be happy to explore and backtrack a lot as you try to find everything.

So I'm finally getting around to playing this. Just how hard is Survival difficulty? I'd rather knock it out of the way in one playthrough.
It's not hard at all.

I've done most of the stuff before finishing the story, but I'm torn about whether to keep the game or not. It seems like one of those games where you can go back and play it over when you've kind of forgotten some stuff and it's still really nice, like a Zelda game or something. And I mean it's super pretty, so just revisiting the locations could be worth it, and I could do so with the challenge mode, which I haven't touched. Then again, the industry is moving so fucking fast! Maybe I should just go ahead and leave games I've finished in the past and keep rolling with it.

Keep it. DLC looks great.
I'm pretty excited for all the content we're getting in the coming months.

I don't really care about the multiplayer stuff but bring on the single player.
This game has no multiplayer, though. lol

Have finished two optional tombs now, the first one was Ancient Cistern and while it was a bit short, it certainly was fun. The second one though, the one that the exotic animal guards, was much shorter and easier to solve. Do these optional tombs get more challenging later on? If not, do the story tombs at least provide more challenge? Cause if not, that'll be my first con.

I can't pick up more than 33 cloth to create my Siberian ranger outfit. Every time I find cloth it says I'm full. How do I increase this?

I didn't think any of the tombs were challenging. The puzzle solutions are fairly obvious, but there are a few that were a lot of fun to work through and they're often very pretty.

Loved the game! Probabally going to go through again on the hardest difficulty, but can say now that this is the best SP experienced I have had this generation.
The Story, mechanics, character investment, and world were all done very well in my opinion.
It is a shame that more people can not play it right now, but that is just the way things go.
Anyways, I hope that in the next game they will improve on some of the RPG survival elements to make the game more robust.....I seriously wouldn't mind an all out TR RPG with a more robust hunting/crafting system.
Overall, huge improvement on the last TR (reboot) in just about every way (especially the tombs), and I hope MS/Square can find a way to get the game in the hands of more people!

I'm happy to see all the positive feedback about the game in this thread. I don't have an XB1 but I just picked it up today for the 360 and I'm excited to work through it over the holidays. Here's hoping the 360 version isn't too gimped.
Does the game's plot tie in with TR2013 at all? I'm considering replaying TR2013 on PS3 as a refresher before jumping into this game, but I don't know if it's worth it.

Not really. Basically the first game happened, then the comics happened (which you only need to know that Lara went to therapy and such, hence the reveal trailer) and it leaves Lara with only Jonah saddled around, Sam is in jail or some shit.

Lol weird. I liked the plot in TR2013 so was hoping for some continuation, but I guess it's not the end of the world.

getting my ass kicked on score attack. Not even close to the gold ranks. This is pretty much all I have left to do for 1000 gs. Going to be a struggle. Have to farm a shitload of credits to duplicate other peoples cards
