Guys, it literally takes two seconds. You absolutely cannot tell I linked my PSN and my STEAM already.
The game launches the same, and added more friends I haven't played with in 10 years. I did it at launch.

That's it. Ya gotta touch grass. You're making the PC Mas- *chuckle* -you're making the PC Master race look like a bunch of sweaty blowhards.

Don't pretend this wont take 1/100 of the time you've ♥♥♥♥♥♥ with your ingame settings.

Game is great, of course.

Remakes in general have been hit or miss lately. It makes a fellow cautious. Not only did they not rip my hear out...They delivered. CNC is back baby! <3

I'm 1/3rd of the way through, but I probably won't remember to update this. Anyway, as a fan of every game in the Uncharted Series, I went in expecting to watch another company fail to emulate everybody's globe trottling native killing hero. That was a wrong mindset. Tomb raider so far has paced itself quite well. At the beginning I thought it was pretty bare in terms of core mechanics- but I keep getting new ways/unlocks for items/situations. Either a skill (earned via xp from doing stuff) or using Salvage (salvage loot :P) to craft/upgrade my weapon. That's something Uncharted didn't have- and it immerrses me much more. In addition there's a bunch of hidden items that forward the story (still mysterious to me) that makes we want to search every nook and cranny. (And I hate completionists) In order to let people get everything, you can fast travel from campfire to campfire, and a map of the island is provided. As far as I can tell, the story path is linear, aside from occasional backtracking on purpose (more like crossroads) but by provideing the map, and fast travel- I truely feel like I'm on an expansive island, despite the linear setpieces.

Anyway, if you are thinking of getting Tomb Raider, and are on the fence, get it. If you enjoyed Uncharted, this isn't it-but actually more immersive by making you feel like it's your plight. And if you can, turn on TressFX (The effect that gives Laura realistic strands of hair/hair physics), personally I quite like it- But your PC might hate it :P Yeah- this game is georgeous.

Final notes: PLAY IT WITH A CONTROLLER WITH RUMBLE.
-----------------Also worth mentioning, much more gore than Uncharted. I don't need gore to have fun, it's not insane levels given what I've seen, but it makes it much more gritty than other games that pander to all ages.


I look forward to finishing this :)
