I wonder why they replaced Core Design with Crystal Dynamics.

[Lord Tony]

Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the last Core Design game. It was rushed due to a timed budget by the studio and it was bad enough to get Core Designed fired. Was it really that bad?

Crystal Dynamics took over, Legend was okay but it was too easy and sucked. Then there was anniversary which was a remake of the first game and doesn't hold a candle to the first game. Underworld had MORE BUGS THAN AOD! Then there is the guardian of light which I'm not even going to get to.

Then there is the Tomb Raider reboot which Crystal Dynamics felt Tomb Raider needed a reboot because they didn't like the direction of where Tomb Raider was heading after what they caused! Then they just turned it into an Uncharted clone.

R.I.P. Core Design, you made less mistakes than Crystal Dynamics.

His profile is public and i cant see Tomb Raider 2013 on the list of games owned. Why is nobody ever bothering to check the profiles first? Obvious troll is obvious.

Because there are other platforms on which to play this game. I played Bioshock Infinite on my console; does that mean I'm not allowed to hold a discussion on the Steam forum for Bioshock Infinite?

He may still be a troll, but the profile games list is one of the least reliable ways to tell so I don't even bother.

I think this is the first (maybe second) Tomb Raider game I ever finished. It's certainly the first Tomb Raider I took seriously (didn't rely mostly on T&A). Personally, I think the whole "Uncharted" path they took was exactly where the series needed to go... where the series should have been long before Uncharted came out. This game is plenty different from Uncharted though, and worthy of praise on it's own rights. I played 27 hours of my playthough in 3D, and must say it's the most breathtaking 3D game I've played on my PC.

My only complaint through the whole game was those damned QTE's. The industry as a whole needs to ditch them as soon as possible.

I know that he could play it on the console but why is he whining in the Steam forum? Why not the Xbox live Forum, or the Developers website? Because he can expect such a high conversation level here?

Why on earth would any self respecting gamer go to an even WORSE forum than SPUD to have a discussion about a game? SPUD is bad enough without resorting to Xbox territory.

The simple fact is that SPUD is, for all its (many) faults, convenient. If you have a Steam account, you are already signed up for the forum. Going to one of those other sites requires creating a brand new login account.

Honestly there is a reason they went with the tombs being optional and thats because they wanted tombs but they did not always fit into the storyline. Plus at this game is set BEFORE the orignal tomb raider, you know this when lara mentions 'I hate tombs' No tomb raider set after the original was going to say that. I understand where you guys are coming from where its not so much of a puzzle game anymore but it was needed to keep the series going. Many people don't like puzzle games compared to shooters.

I have played everygame to the end and I perfer the newest one BECAUSE of the gameplay and its not just puzzles that (in the older games) were quite simple. Plus the newer game could have been made with more puzzles and yes it could have just been better for SOME people but remember so many people love and play the series no matter what, they will continue to do so.

In Tomb Raider Chronicles The Black Isle featuring young lara had her Tomb Raiding.

In Tomb Raider Revelation it also featured young lara tomb raiding in the egyptian desert.

MUCH younger than 2013 Lara and she still loved to raid tombs.


I don't know what you're talking about but if Lara ever says "I hate tombs" then she is not Lara Croft. The Lara Croft I know wouldn't be afraid to raid a tomb around the age of 8. How old is 2013 lara, 16? 17? Somewhere around that?

[Lord Tony]

Run around, find cover, shoot. That's the gameplay.

Reboot means that all that happened never happened. It's as with 007, you can't keep a series both contemporary and 'canon'.
The world changes, change with it or hide yourself in the past. Your choice.

[Lord Tony]

They rebooted the series after they crashed it in the first place.

[fenke]

Lara as character was getting nowhere, she never was anywhere but that didn't matter back in 1996. It matters now though,well, not for you, obviously, but you don't get to tell which way this series should go.

[Lord Tony]

So she goes from puking after her first kill to an unstoppable killing machine that has super human health regeneration making her invincible for no apparent reason?

I love where this character is going. Maybe next she can start spewing profanities and rip people in half with a chainsaw gun.

Clearly you have no played the game. She says this in one of the main part of the storys when she goes into a ritual chamber.

She's not Lara Croft. Lara Croft loves adventure.

Tomb Raider game only by name.
