I refuse to believe that it was not.
It's actually the director of God of War post-Jaffe
Past...two hours of gameplay have been pretty great. From the time I got rope arrows to Shanty Town (which is cool because of its verticality, to me). Aside from the framerate in this area. :/
I've had a solid 60fps, but this feels considerably lower.
The wave of enemies in Shanty town with only the bow and arrow...felt good, man. That's what I'm talking about. Good stuff.

This man gets it. The combat in this game can get intense if you keep moving. I like to play aggressive and recessive. I jump in, melee, shoot, and slide out. Maybe pop a cap or two when retreating or defending and repeat. I hope they either add a challenge/horde mode, or add one to the sequel. Improving the AI as well would make TR2 great.

Bro....I was joking. This kind of made me sad for you
Tricky I want you to know I'll always hate you. And have done so since I entered these threads.

Hard to not think so when it even had
the crazy underground people tearing up that one dude
I have it on DVD. I should watch it again, especially after Tomb Raider.

That part was really awesome....
I can't tell if your being serious or not, but if you are, why am I supposed to care?
Your kinda weird.

Wynn Duffy from Justified? or the guy from Burn Notice?
I know a lot of people made fun of the fact that the PR was essentially about making you feel you needed to "protect Lara", but those are actually my feelings while playing the game. They made Lara into a very likeable character and this really is shaping up to be my favorite Tomb Raider. Sure, it's lacking some memorable staples for the series, but I can't say I miss the spider presence 
Also, Tricky I think a lot of people owe you an apology for constantly putting you down for your hype and threads about the game. Especially some of the folks who are now posting in this thread about liking the game. C'mon guys, be the bigger person!

I feel that not enough was done with the gondolas. That was a great moment of wonder, and it would have been great to explore them without the trappings of a set piece. Perhaps there was more to that portion during production and was cut.
I am perplexed at the negative comments about the perk systems and combat. I feel that the more skillsets I unlocked, the more and more it encouraged me to experiment with combat. Rather than turtling behind cover, I was in the fray taking out bow and sword enemies up close with dodge counters and knee+finisher combos, all the while switching to the rifle for gun-wielding priority targets.

There's some music that plays
That was really nice. The game has some pretty nice music in places but it's hard to appreciate it what with the almost continuous sensory assault going on.

Yeah, that isn't even remotely funny. That Indiana Jones panel was way better!
GAF is really weird place.
I think most of people's mind are so contaminated with the "review culture" and all this words like "gameplay", "technical issues", "story this, story that" and people actually forgot to tell about how they FEEL playing the game.
Tomb Raider is just like Kingdoms of Amalur to me. The best game of the year so far, and looks that will keep this position.
I'm a great fan of horror movies, and I felt like in one playing this (kinda. It have that mistery vibe, kinda of unpredictable, whos gonna die next, etc). I somehow got involved with the characters, even though they don't have so much development. People can trash the story, but not if they are fan of Uncharted, because, well, let's say they are equivalent, and Tomb Raider handled MUCH BETTER the story than Uncharted.
I think I'm almost finishing the game.
Whitman just got killed by samurais
What people were expecting of Tomb Raider? It does nothing "new" per se, but what it does, it does well (except the upgrade/xp part, lol).
Is good to see Lara is back and that they finally got it right.
I want Tomb Raider 2 now! Give us the second Lara adventure.

It's oddly fitting
This is really uncomfortable. It is actually making me vicariously embarassed.

I feel dumb but how do you play with a party online? Can't seem to figure it out.
The multi is OK but the immense grind for the BRONZE trophy for getting max prestige 3 and lvl 58 is a joke. Matches take forever to start. There is some serious lag or weird server issues players tend to glitch around and everyone is super jumpy.
I really want to platinum this but the multi is such a chore.

Glad I'm not the only one with this problem, been seeing a lot of teleportation and shooting at people who aren't there. I actually found setting up traps and successfully chasing someone into setting it off quite fun, shame about the lag though.
Is everyone experiencing lag in the multiplayer or are we just an isolated few? (Playing on the PS3)

Is the patch actually live on steam for anybody? I haven't downloaded anything.
Oh cool, what is different? Does it have more weigth?

Can those of you who are far in to the game give me an accurate idea of how much time is spent in combat? Trying to ascertain if my wife will enjoy the game - she thinks she will and the IGN review suggested there wasn't too much combat, but then I watched a YouTube video that suggested otherwise.

Depends how much collecting you do. If you do not bother with that there is a fair bit of it especially after half way. If that is a turn off there isn't a lot else to do and she wouldn't probably like it.

Thanks. I'll see if I can get it to trigger then.
I finished the game yesterday and there's a fair amount of combat all told. There's enough that it's not going to be worth putting up with if you don't enjoy it.

YESSSSSSS! My reaction to that part from this thread a few days ago:
HOLY SHIT at the wholetemple burning sequence! O_O
Have to say, as someone for whom Tomb Raider: Anniversary is one of the greatest games of all time, I was really skeptical of this reboot's direction. Although all the praise its getting for atmosphere is making me want to reconsider. It's a shame it's coming out in the same month as God of War and Bioshock. Is there anything in this game an original fan of the franchise will enjoy or should I just go into it pretending it's a different IP?

Figured out why I got no patch.

It's a lot more combat heavy than the previous Tomb Raider games, Lara does a lot of killing in this. If your wife doesn't want combat, has she tried Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light? More puzzle solving, less combat, it's a great game and you guys can play co-op.

Doesn't seem to be working for me on 360. Weird.
