not the only problem it is one of the many issues in this game to be honest.
if the fights were fun or enemies AI was good it could do something good even with waves of dudes, sadly it wasn't and that just made the game repetitive and boring.

I actually never got bored of the game at all. I enjoyed it my entire play through.
You don't even notice it anymore.
for me it was really boring,I wasn't even able to keep playing for more than one hour each time because of unbalanced and messy game structure and how the story felt disconnected (with the side stuff) it remind me of L.A Noire ,but L.A Noire bored me way more than this.

Pretty soon it'll be rated as one of the worst along with Bio..nevermind.

Woah no way! Ugh LA Noire. I literally had to force myself to beat that game. I don't even want to think about it.
Tomb Raider definitely has a better female protagonist than Forza Horizon.
You're dead. You hear me? DEAD.
The Infinite thread will probably be as hellish and as nasty as this one and DmC's, if not moreso.
I agree. Some of the environments are unsettling and the atmosphere is great.

We're currently talking about boring games. Ya know, LA Noire, Tomb Raider, Planescape Torment..
I don't think so. We got most of it out of our system (ha!) with the first Bioshock. Now we're long past the acceptance stage and just want a much better game than Bioshock.

I want to get this game, but I am skeptical of the performance on the 360... Is it true that the majority of the game runs well under 30fps?

both share many flaws design-wise, both games could've been kinda decent if they cut the unnecessary open areas and went on more focused experience,both bored me because of their boring game structure(and the two overstayed their welcome and needed to be shorter).
I hear the little chimes from the first TR's sometimes and some of the sound effects also...there should be at least one instance in this game,and god knows it's not the opportunity that are missing,where you could do a good old style Lara slow motion gymnastic like climb and a swan dive ,that would of been awesome...

On PS3 (and i assume 360) the game runs at a slightly unpredictable frame rate, it's usually around 30fps, but you can tell it drops to the mid 20s sometimes. Especially during big set pieces - things can get hectic and occasionally this leads to death.
Mostly it's playable though, and the game is just very entertaining as a whole. I'd certainly recommend this game if you enjoy the action/adventure genre.
I would wager that stuff like that, dual wielding and mid air cartwheel dodges will be in the sequel (although the latter would be a bit extreme)
In another pointless skill tree they pretty much force you to unlock in a lineage fashion I bet too.

I think I'm almost finished the game, and I've really enjoyed what I've played.
It is quite short, though - much shorter than reviews had suggested. My Steam timer has it at 6 hours and I just left the shipwreck beach for the second time.
Though judging by this thread it seems I may be wrong for liking the game.

I snagged a 360 copy from Redbox yesterday and it plays really damn well. Looks and sounds gorgeous too. If you have $60 free bucks to spend, go for it. Or if your budget conscious like me, hunt it down at Redbox. Either way, I highly recommend you play this.

I love the last one.
lol.
I took pretty much the exact same shot as your last one:

You're not wrong.

Thanks for the info. I will get it sooner or later, I may just wait for a price drop.
Finished up last night. Gear/weapon system was great, needs a lot more exploration to make the most of it. Really wished multiplayer had been some kind of timed gauntlet run, using everything you learned to traverse through hostile areas rather than usual deathmatch.
Sound design is very well done, many little details and very good weapon effects. I might have been doing something wrong with other games but TR sounds much, much better compared to how flat Dead Space 3 sounded with headphones. Really the entire presentation as a whole is surprising considering all the shit it was getting pre-release.

Wait a second! Looks like my camera effects are working, then. Wonder why that is...most people report they're not working in Fullscreen.

I just encountered a glitch that has stopped my progression through the story.
I've restarted the checkpoints and quit the game but it's still the same story every time.
Any suggestions?
PS3 btw

On the boat after you kill shotgun bro and you get the winch, the box you are supposed to be able to pull just stays there but the crane its attatched to moves.

well the before release complains weren't about the presentation or even the quality of the game itself,it was about how this game abandoned its roots and turned to be non traditional Tomb Raider game.
yeah, got the same same problem (mentioned before how boring the game is),forced me to stop playing many time I really think it's the results of many issues like super easy fights,pacing,disconnected and boring story,not enough variety for enemies and locations ..ect
Presentation was getting heat from what I read. I pop in and out of these threads though, so it may have been that I just came in during times when the graphics were being grilled. Of course there was a lot of obvious divided discussion about the direction, but that's expected with a reboot.

This is pretty much how I feel. I don't hate the game in any particular way but its all just so forgettable/uninspiring. I do like the sound design (I turned off the music from the start--is it worth it?) and the visuals are damn good but gameplay-wise, its a letdown. I just don't get the high praise I've seen in this thread, to be honest.

I. Loved. That.
I'm gonna tweet CD and Pratchett about that. I want more creepy stuff in the sequel. Not enough Horror Adventures out there.
Yea that was kinda creepy. Especially when you're playing it in the middle of the night.

I'm not finding it very creepy, but certainly atmospheric. There's some moments when the game leaves you alone long enough to feel like you're really stuck somewhere on your own, and that's great. I just wish they'd last more than a couple rooms.
Yep
