I just played a few matches myself. It runs well, but the spawns seem to be pretty lopsided depending on what team you are on.
Or else what?
it's good.

Do you not know the rules of how to do a spoiler? You dont put just a black bar. You put an aproxiamate time/percentage/completion of the game your playing and then do a spoiler so that others have a frame of reference as to what your spoiling in case they are not that far ahead.
Yup I clicked on it too... :/

Or just don't click spoiler tags if there is potential of having it spoiled?

Good Game (a great Australian gaming show) just uploaded their video review - they both gave it a 10, which is very rare as theyre usually pretty harsh with scores.
Basically everything they said in the review is exactly my opinion and thoughts on the game. So if you want a better understanding on why I love it so much......watch the video.

I like the extras such as the making of the game, all the trailers etc. wish more games did this
As an old school Tomb Raider fan, I hate this game but as a person who loves videogames, this game is freaking great.
The platforming bits feel so good and the gunplay is really fun and smooth. I only have a bow and a gun so far and I find myself preferring the bow just because I love the way it feels. Lara instantly going into cover works surprisingly well too. Its nice not having to push a button to stick to walls.

so Im not too far in. If the game keeps this up though, Im going to end up really liking it...which is something I did not see happening at all.

Well I was going to Redbox this today but apparently the people who stock the boxes didn't anticipate anyone wanting to play this on PS3... as all the kiosks in my general area (10 total) only have one copy of the 360 version. As far as I can tell, there isn't a single PS3 copy in my state.
lol... oh well.
lol... oh well.

Many games do this actually. At least the ones I'm playing
Yea, thats normal for redbox in regards to PS3 copies.

Do you empathize with Lara in the way the devs wanted you to? How do you not groan when Lara falls 10m onto solid rock which should severely damage her back or at the very least break a few ribs but then complains about the stick she took to her abdomen later on?
The game itself is definitely fun and well designed (for something like this) but man the cutscenes are grating as shit. All these crazy action set pieces and I'm supposed to feel for this poor, frail little girl. I wish I could take a hit like Lara

Redbox around me always has PS3 versions, though I've never actually used it. This is a redbox kinda game isn't it..

Your crow is currently in the oven for when this sells like hotcakes.
.... that's not a very effective threat.

idk... i try to refrain from estimating value for other people. depends if you want to support the devs.
mechanically, the game is not long so you could finish it in a rental period. and the multiplayer is lolcharted. don't suspect it has legs.

It's a shame Good Game are shit though.
Let's be honest here. And you know I really liked it.
Okay so I'm stuck lol.
The room when you pull a lever and there is some kind of gas and there's a dude on the other side yelling, what the fuck am I suppose to do? She says the glass is weak but shooting doesn't help.
You should basically
leave that area, grab one of the lanterns on the ground, and throw it into the hole so it ignites the gas and makes it disappear......among other things

If I remember right CGI was handled by Japanese division while in-game model was handled by Canadians.
and yet she still looks better than original tomb raider lol.

They missed the concept art pretty hard.
She's wearing the same clothes/hair and is dirty, but otherwise her face is completely different and the proportions of the model are more akin to older games than the reboot concept art.

They aren't harsh. They each gave Dead Space 3 a 9.5 or something. They just dont have a modicum of objectivity when it comes to genres they don't like (which is why DoA5 and TTT2 scored lower than that god awful Aliens game).
The CGI part actually looks close to concept art though.

"Fucking ugly as shit" - big words. Goes nicely with your avatar though.

There's definitely a great deal of exaggeration to the action in Tomb Raider and of course, there's no possible way any human could survive the stuff Lara does. But i think that's just going to be par for the course with most games and by comparison to most, i think this game handles it quite well. They at least acknowledge wounds and limitations more than most contemporaries.
I think the original Die Hard could be used as a good example. As John Mcclane survived and pulled off impossible situations. but by comparison to most other action heroes at the time, he was far more relatable and emphatic.
I do agree that it's more likely people will experience sympathy, rather than empathy. Though, her remorse for leading her colleagues into a dangerous situation, self doubt in such an extreme situation and her early reluctance to kill. Those make her a somewhat relatable character.
This long rant was officially supported by me procrastinating rather than revising.
I think her ingame face looks more like Camilla, which is fine by me.
They modeled her after her voice actress, they weren't shooting for the concept art.
And she's friggin' cute.
No, but later on firefights can be pretty long (2 or 3 times thought they were endless but luckily they ended shortly after that).

I'm convinced you don't actually read what Derrick writes. Like, it burns you or something.
Gonna be a lot of unclaimed crow rotting in the streets when all is said and done. I may be wrong of course, but I don't recall anyone suspecting this wouldn't score or sell well.
If it'll make you feel better, should I actually enjoy the game for what it is I'll eat a wing.

WAT?! Firstly, Derrick did say that this game will bomb - I can't for the life of me find the post but he did say it. And lots of people said the game was going to bomb and be shit too.
I mean just scanning this very thread I’m seeing people buying the game when they hated on it relentlessly and said they weren’t going to touch it. Some crow is definitely in order.

I do not give a shit about "supporting the devs" lol. I hate reading that nonsense on here all the time. But yeah, this game can prolly be platted in a weekend. Unfortunately I don't have time to game like that anymore. Will still wait for the 2 week bomba.

They should have modeled her after Julia Voth.
I didnt have any trouble with the QTEs in the PS3 version, are they broken in the PC version? I thought they did a good job implementing them in a non-intrusive but fun way.
No thanks.
Well they are in my PC. The "press right press left" thingy it's not working (it did work the first time though). I had to leave the game, was getting frustrated, the game simply doesn't detect that i'm pressing the damn buttons.
