Tomb Raider 2013

To anyone that actually played this thing, it has any form of decent gameplay or is just an action movie disguised as a game? The reviews talk about tombs and exploration, do the tombs have something interesting inside them or there are only puzzles aimed for retards and as reward a useless collectible? (Farcry 3 "exploration" really made me completely bored) Alot of reviews says that the story is shit and your companions are useless idiots, there is something here from a story fag perspective? You guys are playing this thing because of shiny explosions and graphic whorism or there is something of value?

The two tombs I visited yet were very easy to solve and short. Story I haven't seen much yet except means to escape from the island. There's a lot of logs and diaries to read and item descriptions are nice too.

There are lengthy vids out now like giantbomb.com's quicklook you can watch. Seems to have some half-stealth and half-uncharter gameplay with really on-rails jumping and exploration. Looks not terrible honestly, but I ain't paying $40 for it.

Being a "2/10 one trick pony" troll truly isn't masculine behaviour

Cockblocked.

@Comissar Draco has a fanboyz thread you know?

This one sums it up pretty well. Decent enough when you have the freedom to actually play. Way too little time spend playing.

Do you guys have to be such stereotype sad troglodytes in every goddamn thread?

We prefer to call ourselves "libertine gamers" .

Played some more, really enjoable, the more gadgets and stuff you get. Some fights (playing on hard) weren't that easy too, some enemy types are pretty good and force you of cover ( )

How does it compare to Operation Flashpoint?

What?

 

[JarlFrank]

Completely different (sub)genre?

Been playing it a bit. Decent enough for a popamoler, but completely not a Tomb Raider game. Like others have said the environments are very well crafted; I like that crazy multi-level cliffside town for example. The really stupid thing though is that there are ridiculous numbers of enemies. It's supposed to be a cult on an isolated island, yet hundreds of the fuckers get thrown at you o_O

Would have been much better if there were very limited numbers of very hard to kill enemies; either from them being very deadly or limiting the equipment the player has, or both.

Yeah but does it for example have ballistics simulation? Are levels as big, etc?

If you want to enjoy popamole you have to lower your expectations

Couldn't force myself past the "tap e repeatedly" part.

This is going to give Loverslab ideas.

Didn't the older Tomb Raider titles have nude mods with ridicolous breast sizes too? I seem to remember that there have been "rumours" of such mods before we had the internet...

This game is p. terrible. Stopped after entering the temple with the professor dude, like hell that I'm going through another "walk slow as fuck" sequence.

Nah it's more like Age Of Empires.

There are quite a lot of "walk slowly" sequences afterwards, but there are many free roam explore on your whim open areas too.

It tends to happen at the entrance to tombs for some reason, and also when she's on the walkie talkie. Not very often.
