@Elann2008 Dude!, i played the 1st TR game day one on its release date... and i have been playing video games for the past 22 years so i don't know what do you mean by "kids this generation" and i don't know how old are you and in fact i don't even care...
I know what TR games are, and i know what rights they have and i do like 'change' or 'evolving' but those for me does not = 'mutating' to take a 'Good' game (at least from my point of view and millions others) and then remove every thing that made this game good and then create a totally new game and then stick the TR title to it just to suck on the popularity of the game and then say that this is a 'change for a new direction', well, i am sorry but for me this is 'stupidity' at its best...
I already own every TR title and i don't want you to come here and tell me to go play them, i already play them often, thanks you.
I don't care what you think does matter and what's not, it matters to me and i don't like the new direction they are going with here with the game, however that changes nothing about the fact that i am holding judgement on this game till i get my hands on it...
But till that happen, i don't like what i see so far.
@Elann2008 @jagcivtec Too bad there is no dislike button.
If you don't like the Tomb Raider series then you are the one who should go play Uncharted (which this game is trying to copy now), we are the ones who like our TR games intact here and we give no care about your uncharted.
Beside if they want to go in a new direction they could have gotten their own game with a separate title from the TR series instead of just making a completely new game and then stick the TR name to it to suck on its popularity.
@jagcivtec The devs said it quite loud and clear... "Forget every thing you have ever known about Tomb Raider games" :/ . And yup, The Last Revelation was really gorgeous. :)
So 'Multiplayer' is now the new DRM against piracy?CD (aka Crystal Dynamics) you are not safe from having the same fate the other CD (aka Core Design) had when they messed around with this game.
@OHGFawx And i have absolutely no problem with what you have just said, at all. i agree with you 100%.
My point is, there is a difference between having this 'realistic' moment within the game that you experience like every thing else, and having this as 'the key moment' that start the transformation in the character's personality.
In Mafia 2 you do not transform from being a nice guy who would not harm a butterfly into becoming a murderer because you were about to get raped in the prison's bathroom, it was just another moment that represents a threat in your life that you had to deal with.
But in our case they chose to make this moment the key point that starts the transformation from being a harmless young girl gradually into becoming the bad ass Lara Croft that would shoot you in point blank without hesitation!.
And yes, i understand that you said many times that there is a full experience, lost, hungry, wounded, etc... and this could be part of the experience just like the rest, there even could have been no key points and that each of these things add to each other to build the full experience, but instead, and out of the entire experience they chose to have a key moment that starts the character's personality transformation and chose for this moment to be the attempted rape moment when she is forced to make her first kill (again their words, not mine) and that is what i have a problem with.
What message are you trying to deliver out here? that being in an attempted rape is a key moment for females to build a strong personality?!.
@PrpleTrtleBuBum @Wango_Tango Lol, I don't wish for this game to fail (or any thing in general) but i do hope that the whatever will happen the Tomb Raider series that i love will continue and live up to the expectations of the true fans of this series.
@PrpleTrtleBuBum @Wango_Tango I like change, but for me that means to enhance, develop and improve, but not to mutate.
I my self wouldn't have minded the whatever this game would be like if the chose to go with a separate title from the Tomb Raider franchise, like naming it "Lara Croft - Origins" or something, then at least i will be fine with the fact that my favorite Tomb Raider series is still intact.
But they are too eager to shove this new game they are making under the TR name to suck upon the series fame. Because they need a big title to shove this experiment under instead of giving it its own title.
@OHGFawx Good, then why make it the "key moment" (their words), the "defining moment" (their words) "the moment when Lara is forced to make her first kill" (their words!"
They made a big deal out of this moment specifically out of the entire experience, and of all the reasons to make a 'first kill', when you are 'forced to kill a person' for the first time in your entire life, they choose that it would be because she was about to get raped! of course because she is a female character. Cliche at its best.
After 16 years of playing Tomb Raider games, and even for a person like me who cared only for the game play and never cared about Lara Croft i felt intellectually offended by the idea that the heroine character i have been playing with started this bad ass characteristic by killing some one in an attempted rape!.
@PrpleTrtleBuBum @Wango_Tango The Devs literally said "Forget every thing you've ever known about the old Tomb Raider games" (you can look for the video of the interview in the game's videos section)
But i like Pratchett's work from other games, especially Overlord, i enjoyed this game a lot.
