You must have broken his heart.

It's amazing to think that I used to play games that looked like this back in the day.

Why?
Honestly games like this are still fun to this day, the bad textures make you use your imagination and add to the charm if you give them a chance.
As for game design most of them are arguably more fun.
This new game looks great, but it has way too much combat from my perspective.
My naive 8 year old mind sure did.
Not from what I have played. A lot of those early 3D playstation games have not aged well at all, so I like to leave it to nostalgia now.
Nothing wrong with that, you were impressed like the rest of us in 1996.
I couldn't believe that the water....looked like water. I was in awe before Lara's animations, the way she could dominate the environment, even the combats were enjoyable for me.
Truth be told this formula has aged badly, Lara controls like a tank and the atmosphere is not as penetrating as it once was.
I'm all for a change of direction and if Lara has to follow Drake's footsteps to remain releveant so be it.
I didn't say it was, and I can remember being awed by the Playsation back in 1997. But I couldn't go back to them now because I am used to today's graphics. To be honest I will probably be saying the same thing about today's games in 20 years time.

I'm a member there but rarely post. From experience, a large majority of self-proclaimed Tomb Raider fans aren't actually fans of the game, they're fans of Lara Croft. As long as her name is on the package, many of them will seemingly accept anything.
Despite this, there are some members who have played the game, are actual fans of the traditional Tomb Raider genre and who are disappointed with the new direction. Takes some digging, but they're there.

Wow! Lol.
That combined with some AWE32's and you were the hot shit of the neighborhood.
Again, you are not alone in this. Some people are more sensitive to that than others.
I know it's difficult for me as well, but I play them for my nostalgia fix mainly.

Lol it happened. I don't know how to solve the riddle in one of the tombs. I know it's simple but I just don't get it 
Edit: done, man I'm stupid ^^

dat blocky ass.
I remember 3DFX demonstrating anti-aliasing on their VooDoo cards using Tomb Raider. Mind was blown.
Edit: haha soo beaten.
I don't want my nostalgia to get trampled on so I like to leave stuff how I remember them.
It truly is amazing the technological leaps that I have witnessed growing up.

For sure. Check out the shading yo
GL Quake was an eye opener too:
Though now it looks like someone smeared the textures in Vaseline!

So, as of today, what's the cheapest option to get this with Steamworks? I know the CAGROCKS code is expired, but are there any other promo codes to get this around $35 and activated in Steam?

Don't now if someone mentioned it already but the load times are super short!
And there is no ingame loading between chapters, camps, etc. (Only if you use fast travel...but they are short, very short)

Pre-ordered this on GMG and got it preloaded on Steam now... I'm excited to see how this turned out and of course to see dat hair tech.
Is there anyone else here who hasn't played the co-op in Guardian of Light yet? Would love to go through it this weekend (PC version) to kill some time before this game unlocks.

They didn't have the sprawling, maze-like exteriors of the first three TR games, but I think there's still a significant difference in gameplay between Prince Of Persia-esque platformers and Uncharted.
Odd since Anniversary was a Remake of Tomb Raider 1 and seemed pretty faithful from my recollection in terms of the mazes and puzzles.
I have to go preorder Naruto.

Underworld combat was dated and pretty bad. I remember reviews comparing it to Uncharted and how Uncharted evolved the Tomb Raider formula, which is ironic since this new game is being criticized for being like Uncharted.

late codes are just something that happens with DL only sites. Happened to me with Sleeping Dogs and Darksiders 2 on GMG. At least the game hasn't officially unlocked yet, so you guys still have a chance to preload. Didn't someone post earlier in the thread that there's some issue with SE and codes? That PC review codes aren't even out yet?
I haven't! I got partway through the main campaign, but I never did the co-op in GoL.Pre-ordered this on GMG and got it preloaded on Steam now... I'm excited to see how this turned outand of course to see dat hair tech.

Was thinking of grabbing one of the old PS1 TRs for vita over the weekend to hold me over - its been way too long since I've played any. Any recommendations?
Edit: There's TR1, 2, 3, Last Revalation, and TR Legend (I guess that's a newer one)
Double Edit: Legend looks pretty cool, think Im gonna grab that one

I don't expect you to say anything. The whole response was because you said you didn't get the 'true fan' thing. If you're wondering why some fans are skeptical of how other people call call themselves genuine fans of Tomb Raider series and still prefer what we have now, then it's a silly act - you know the game isn't like the old ones, and that's exactly the problem. There's no mystery as to why some people can't accept it. Someone who is a 'true fan' would, almost by definition, want what the series was about to continue. Nobody who is a 'true fan' would be glad with the death of something they cherished otherwise.
I was simply trying to explain to you what the whole thing was about, since you seemed confused and specifically said "I do not understand."

This is the main reason why I care. Oh well, I guess. At least I used the CAGROCKS promo code to get it cheaper.

Not exactly sure on this. See I love the old series. I loved the puzzles and figuring stuff out. Hell it felt accomplishing finishing a Tomb Raider game, much in the same vein of beating Dark Souls in this day and age. Yet I also know when a game didn't do very well sale wise. There is a crucial turning point for developers. Do you totally revamp the series and give it new and potentially critical sales, or do you let it die? Being a fan, I just don't want Tomb Raider to end, simple as that. Granted now it's a different beast then before. Much like Resident Evil. The better question is, are there any high profile games featuring alot of puzzles as the focus that actually sell what these companies are now demanding for profit? I can only think of the Portal series perhaps. Other then that I'm drawing a blank.
