The problem was there was TOO MANY GAMES TO PLAY. I plan on getting this soon but at it's release there was too much for me to play.
This. You have been this'dFightgarr said:All that really needs to happen to this game as I see it is to get slightly better combat mechanics and develop some kind of camera that actually works.
I dunno, that's what I thought to start with (playing PC port), but after I worked out how to run it at 1920x1200 with max settings I'm actually starting to enjoy it. The cel-shaded thing looks better than I expected and I love the "you can't die" thing. Combat is relatively simple and you don't really need to worry about chaining combos if you don't want to. There is a lot of plot dialogue, but you only hear it if you want to (you have to specifically press the "talk to Elika" button.)SomeBritishDude said:I've play a good chunk of the new Tomb Raider on a friends xbox and its honestly, though i'd never thought I'd say this, the current Tomb Raider is better than the current Prince of Persia.
I wouldn't say Prince of Persia is bad its just...muh. Sands of Time is my faviourite game of all time, Warrior Within was bad at first but won me over in the end, and Two Thrones is a great blending of the two and a satisfactory ending to the series. But the new one just leaves me feeling...a bit down to be honest. It beautiful, but thats all it is. God, I've got to do a review of that game...Samah said:I dunno, that's what I thought to start with (playing PC port), but after I worked out how to run it at 1920x1200 with max settings I'm actually starting to enjoy it.

It's no Sands of Time, but it's enjoyable (to me at least).
Actually I would say that Tim Burtons batman is a bit campy to, espesially compared to this new crap.johnx61 said:Wait, did you just call Tim Burton's Batman "camp"?new_age_reject said:NO they should not!
Dear god they need to let this one die.
I absolutely LOVE the original, the second and at a push, the third.
It's like Hitman, Splinter Cell, Star Wars (apart from the next KOTOR) and many other franchises that do not need any more mediocre games to try and milk some more cash.
Also the problem with the old Batmen is how camp they were and how real the latest was.
Do you even know what camp means? I think you should go look it up.
Adam West Batman = camp
Tim Burton Batman = Anything but camp.
I actually liked her team, and I thought it was funny Laura keeps a bevvy of beautiful young men in her house as her support. Kinda makes her the female James Bond.SomeBritishDude said:I wouldn't say Prince of Persia is bad its just...muh.

But back on topic
Theres some fundimental things with Tomb Raider that [b/] need [/b] to be redone, and a reboot could be what this fanchise needs.
-Get the camera right! I need to see where I'm jumping, stop pointing straight at her fucking arse!
-Get combat right, or better yet, replace it with a cover system.
-Get rid of thoughs twats who keep talking to her in the new ones. Geeky posh boy and the Generic Black guy can go fuck themselves.
I know this is a bit off topic, but I gotta say something about this.johnx61 said:Edit: I should also say that I find it stupid to imply that no one liked the Tim Burton Batman movies. Ok, no one liked Batman Forever or Batman and Robin. But that's because they were an amazingly bad departure from the dark and tragic atmosphere of the first two movies.
And saying that Nolan's Batman is somehow an upbeat character is equally stupid and you might as well say it's an Adam West Batman if you're going to follow that logic.
Batman is, and always will be, a tragic figure.
The only reason for the insane popularity of "The Dark Knight" was the buzz surrounding the death of Heath Ledger combined with the fact that Film Noir is "in" right now.
The idea itself is solid. I like the idea that theres someone for Lara to talk to, just like in Half-Life 2 where Gorden has Alyx. But I just don't like the characters themselves. I find them forgetable at best, irrataiting at worstTsunamiWombat said:I actually liked her team, and I thought it was funny Laura keeps a bevvy of beautiful young men in her house as her support.

Agreeded. Heath Ledgers performance as the Joker was captivating, and not because he died. Though it has to be said, his death did probley help the film along.Brockyman said:I just get sick of all this "Dark Knight" hate. The movie would have been just as successful without his tragic death. It was one of the best written, directed, and acted superhero movies ever made, and I think it deserves more respect.
I would agree to a small extent, but I don't think it pushed it to the #2 film of all time...probably a mil or two. I really wanted it to beat out Titanic...SomeBritishDude said:Agreeded.
