I think the fact that people who have gotten it as early as Thursday have beaten it already is probably a good sign that it will be a good game.
Usually if people don't enjoy playing a game, they won't beat it as quickly in terms of days, or they will just stop playing.
I could be totally off base though, and the driving force of beating it before everyone else is motivating them.
Seriously. The conversations are running on empty here.
We can just keep anticipating how Lara's hair will steal the show!
Like in Alice Madness Returns? Sold.

Is that hair shit exclusive to AMD?
I'm interested to see it in action too, I just hope it's something my PC can actually run. Usually DX11 effects disagree with my now somewhat average setup.

Nope it'll work on all DX11 cards. Of course it could coincidentally not work as well on Nvidia cards, but it's not locked out either.
I got DmC almost a week earlier than normal street date time. I beat it in one sitting in one day. It wasn't because I was so enthralled by the game but it was because people wanted to hear unbiased, PR free impressions from a long time fan and I was one of the first few people to fit the criteria.
Exclusive to DX11. Works in Nvidia.

Leon Kennedy still has the best hair in gaming.
watched some footage. wondering how many jumps are going to force you to just barely make it and do some sort of hand slips, lara looks down, then you pull yourself up and there was no point in the animation
i'm going to say we get ~15 of those. +100 for ones where her foot slips as she lands and you stumble forward.

Weren't ppl saying there was no difficulty levels in this game?
Ah I see. thx.
There are but no difficulty achievements/trophies.
I expect the game to be crazy easy on all difficulties, so in that way yes there won't be any

DAMN!!!!! I literally just purchased TR on Steam and then I see your post after I have been charged already. AAARGHHHHH!!!!

Difficulties yes, achievements, unlockables, something to make the difficulties worth it, no. Apparently. No one really commenting on bonuses.

It's a pre-order, I'm sure you can cancel it.
I think in this era of PC gaming it's best to make a strong effort to look around for good deals like that before pulling the trigger full price. It's pretty safe to assume that there is a pre-order discount going on for pretty much every high profile game.
I got both Tomb Raider and DmC day 1 for a little more than $30.

Well you are special <3.
Rule of thumb: If it's Steamworks, don't buy it on Steam.
because there are none.
Oh, I apologize then. I thought you were trying to say that I wasn't adding anything to the thread, while also saying I should focus my attention elsewhere.
By the way, that thread you linked to is a wasp nest and it also explicitly and primarily aims to sexually motivate and pander to its audience. Although Tomb Raider could be argued to have the occasional pandering, it isn't primarily aiming to appeal to a male audience (well, this one at least
). "lol slutty outfits/come ride my dick/nice tits" comments in a Tomb Raider thread is much more inappropriate than in a niche thread about a blatant sex game. To give an analogy of going into a (public) film rental store: The former example would be like me entering the hidden and sleazy porn section and telling everyone to stop sexualizing the characters they are watching have sex, whereas the Tomb Raider example would be like telling people in the mainstream film section that they shouldn't yell out that they hope Uma Thurman wears a slutty outfit in Kill Bill or that Sigourney Weaver in Aliens hopefully shows her nice tits. I hope you see what I mean.
Therefore, just to clarify about your claim that "Lime seems to be all about combating this sort of thing without discrimination." -> I'm certainly not going to object to all pandering comments for all games, as the games and their target audiences differ extremely in their contexts and intentions.

It wasn't full price on Steam either and when I checked GMG it was going for the same price.
Yea same here, I want this game playing on my PC already.
Of course.
Yeah I only played it briefly about a year ago and I had no idea how to use the old TF2 store. But thankfully Steam implemented a system wide marketplace for TF2 and Dota items recently and it looks basically like an auction house in a MMO (without the actual auction part). Find the item you have on the store to see what the prices are going for, then set it for the lowest price if you want to sell it almost right away
I set my items up late last night and they sold before I woke up this morning.

Do we know if Tomb Raider will be available as a day one digital download off PSN? I've been meaning to pick up Journey for a while now and wouldn't mind a $10 discount on it.

Check a page or two back where I quoted the blog - short answer, we won't know till Tuesday.

Got it, thanks. I have a Best Buy pre-order in right now for the comic, so I guess I'll keep that until we find out more about this.
Heh, at least you got your code to preload. Amazon still hasn't sent mine. :/

This is why I think episodic content is the future. How long did it take to make this game? 2-4 years? Supply can't meet demand when people are beating it on hard and its not even released.
SOLUTION FOR THE ROPE ASCENDER BUG [two spawned boxes] HAS BEEN FOUND! PRAISE THE GODS!
Try to pull one of the boxes, and the game will start it broken animation. Now, go to the floor doors, aim with your bow and start waling slowly on the small ridge of either left or right edge [where the hinges of the door should be]. If you walk just right, Lara will not drop her bow and then re-aim, but she will enter in her "unsteady falling" animation. Try to keep that animation running for 1 sec, and you will fall "through the crack".

How long do you expect a single player narrative driven experience to last?
13 hours seems almost borderline excessive, to me. But I have hardcore gaming ADD.
Im up to a bit later on (blue smoke) and its a big open area, lots of fire and geometry. On PS3 its framey as. Its actually giving me a headache, hence the break to check GAF lol.
