Oh I just realised the game comes with a 14 day Gold trial. That's the longest I've seen for any game.

Halo 4 had the same.

Oh well if someone wants a 14 day Gold trial from a Tomb Raider box in Australia they can message me.

Will there be an update in the OP or a seperate thread if the MP gains any momentum? I will be grabbing this on the PS3
Sure, I can add something in this weekend.
I definitely heard throwbacks to the original tomb raider themes tossed into the tracks. Really like the soundtrack.
It's only about 10 hours or so, with apparently not much replay value.
Thanks all I needed to know ;]

Lara, Camilla, and the game are featured very prominently in the new Entertainment Weekly. Good to see the game getting a lot of love.
This game is going to sell a fuck ton of copies.
I don't know what a fuck ton actually represents as a sales figure.

I hope so. I haven't even played the game and I want this to become an awesome dark atmospheric adventure series that continues to be awesome. I've been reading too many of Tricky's posts.
A more exploration oriented and darker Uncharted. It's my greatest wish come true (well, outside of finding true love, but hey, who needs that).

Thank God the game turned out good, I was afraid you might actually kill yourself if it didn't.
How many Oprah GIFs do you have!?

Now it's good but let's not start behaving like a bootleg PopGAFfer.
It certainly isn't for everyone.

It's amazing, as those with superior tastes* and a discriminating eye* had predicted.

Bless. It really is an immaculate experience. I am getting so lost exploring for shit rather than progressing the story.
And I took today off work and study to play it more >_>

The whole "no replayability" has me unhyped.

That’s not true. The game let's you explore and find tons of extra stuff once you've finished it. You can also try out hard mode and choose different skills.
And then you've got the multiplayer if you enjoy that kind of stuff. The game is definitely meaty with tons of stuff to do and unlock. It’s fairly long too......
Meaty and long huh? Sounds like just my thing.
So the new positivity is just from people getting early copies? I dunno. If people are excited enough to grab an early copy, then they're probably excited enough to convince themselves that the game would always be good.

You raise a good point - but the game is available publicly in Australia and some European territories. It's not necessarily a matter of people going out of their way to sample it early - it's just available everywhere.
And I'm sure many are keen to see if it turned out well or not, and yeah.
Also fun fact - in Australia, you can buy a game and return it within seven days if you don't like it, so many might be picking it up just to give it a try as well.

The reviews were overwhelmingly positive and the game lives up to expectations.
Oh, I had no idea it was already available in some countries.
It's good to hear. I was excited about the premise of the reboot early on, and stopped following through some of the negativity. I have the game pre-ordered, and just trying to gauge interest. DmC has made me wary and disdainful of reboots in general.
Yeah, the reviews do seem positive, but I have little respect for the opinions of most professional reviewers. They often have trouble distinguishing between something that's actually good versus "cinematic, visceral, other stupid industry buzzword" good.

And what about all the glowing reviews? The game is very well done on all fronts. Simple as that. If you can accept the change or just don't care about the older games buckle up and enjoy one of the best games in a long time!

Wait, what?
This is the most reasoned thing you've said about this game in the last 2 years
