People are so melodramatic in here.
lol this has been going on all week. it's the new thing. get with the times bro. =P
The videos and screens I've seen have looked horrible as far as textures goes. Even some of the stuff on Steam looks bad but I have to assume those are console vids/screens since the PC version boats up to 16x better textures I think.
Yeah and they pulled it off while demanding relatively modest specs. I think this game only recommends a 480 so it seems like they'll do it again.
Not many people have played it. All most people have to go by to form opinions, positive or negative, are footage and reviews.
You should only take vidcons as seriously as he takes himself.
In Glam I trust.
Does anyone else find it funny that Pratchett wrote PoP08 that cast Nolan North as the Prince? We've come full circle- Uncharted conspiracy, planting the (light)seeds early for Lara's inspiration!

So to claim our Scavenger DLC, a new code will print on our preorder pickup receipts/email?
Amazon e-mailed me the Hunter Skin Code and the Shanty Town Code yesterday.
I'm interested in this Scavenger thing, as well. I'm not really sure what the deal pre-order DLC is, it's very confusing.

If you pre-ordered from Gamestop, then yes. When you pick up your game, there will be a section on the receipt with your DLC code on it.

they should have let him voice lara
Could have been the role of a lifetime for Nolan North!
the bit at 1:00 is FUCKING epic.
Man this game ist absolutely fantastic... No exploration? I just played the game for 3 hous and I only progressed from Lara's 5th diary to her 6th (progress went from 32% to 44%). The
was amazing, so much stuff to do, even acrobatics. I loved searching for collectibles during that segment of the game. Sure people can run & gun through everything but in my opionion that equals missing half of the game. I really appreciate how open everything feels, taking your time to explore and track back a little really pays off in this game.
Playing on hard was the right choice too, I have to admit the combat reached Uncharted levels some times and the gun fights were definitely hard (still using the bow 90% of the time) but the game is just so much fun to play. My only criticism would be that there's too much ammunition in this game, it ruins the survival aspect a little bit. If CD had implemented a food system (seeing that there are still rations in the game I guess they cut it pretty late) and distributed the ammunition a little bit more sparingly, this would be the ULTIMATE survival game. I can't recall having so much fun with an action adventure since Uncharted 2.

I have been re-watching the game today because I am splitting up video for upload and review.

I haven't played it but this game would have been way better if she sounded like The Penguin
The whole thing is awesome. What is it?

God damn, the sound design is so good. It's really starting to shine in the bunker area.
Also, **head shot on an enemy** Lara: "go to hell". Perfect delivery and hella badass!

DoritoPope has some inside documents and interviews on the development of a game. It's supposedly pretty high quality, according to people who read the Portal 2 and Mass Effect 3 Final Hours...

Looking forward to the OST
So I'm near the end of the game and so far its been really good. But not worth 60 bucks.I think renting this is the way to go.
It reminds me alot of Uncharted , when you boil it down to the minimun, this is basicly Uncharted: Drake's Fortune with improved combat.

Kill is fucking confirmed!!
Asked this earlier.... Is the hardest mode a decent challenge at least?
Even with the semi-open levels it still feels as heavily guided as Uncharted?

I recently played the Tomb Raider Legend/Anniversary/Underworld trilogy. Then immediately went to play Uncharted afterward. It felt as if I was playing the same game.
It's no surprise to think this new one would contain gameplay and platforming similar to Uncharted, since Uncharted played similar to the latest Tomb Raiders.

seems to be a mashup of all the music used in the trailers, remixed by the composer himself, Jason Graves. Dude's awesome, he did the Dead Space OSTs as well.
It's relatively easy. Definitely not as hard as veteran in CoD or 'hard' in Uncharted, you can make the fights a lot harder (and more fun!), though, if you stick to the bow.
If this game isnt worth 60 bucks than I dont know what is. It's an amazing game and the production value is off the chain.
I've never played Underworld (though I do have it) but yeah, Legends has a bit too much shooting for my liking but it's in no way even close to Uncharted's gameplay. Anniversary is is even further in the other spectrum. I don't even know how one would be able to compare them.
Where's all the violence coming from? Is it the video games. I bet it's the video games.
yeah they are completely different from uncharted when it comes to combat. Not to mention, they hardly revolve around combat like Uncharted does.
Platforming wise they are near identical. Only thing is true, Uncharted has more shooting. Though Legend and Underworld did have a lot of shooting. Anniversary also had it's fair share.

I'm going to buy this game almost on a whim since I love Uncharted. On PC too!
I feel like this guy wouldn't be too out of place in Tomb Raider:
Chronicling the misadventures of Lara Croft as she murders her way through a shipwrecked island.

You're right. I remember back when you were excited for Dishonored and I thought to myself he's probably going to think it's great regardless of it's quality, due to the hype. When Dishonored eventually came out you shit on it about as much as you do on any other game.

Uncharted: Lara Edition + On PC = PC Gamer's dream come true!
You dont need to bother, you've already established you hate everything and nobody will take your negative comments seriously anyway.
Lara can still swan-dive. Just not in this game.

She can't even swim.
From reading all of the reviews it sounds like it sort of needs to be.
Or at the very least, far more self aware.
