@Psycold @Bayonetta2013 @Pre_ordered_PS4 I have been a gamer since 1989 and you're wrong. Plenty of people just move with the times rather than whining like hipsters.
I'm usually very critical of games that change too much, ESPECIALLY reboots. But this game really ticked all the boxes for me, even more than Uncharted usually does. I'm as 'oldskool' as Donkey Kong here, and usually get angry with contemporary gaming tropes, but I just don't see what is wrong with this game?
I found Lara's at times unsteady movement to be believable, and while the dialogue was cheesy I thought the voice acting itself was high quality. Even Lara's sometimes not quite English accent didn't piss me off. I played all the old, annoying, clunky TRs, and this one was the first I've been interested to play since Legend came out and made them all too easy.
Seriously, all the gripes I'm hearing make the people griping sound like a bunch of self obsessed hipsters who really need to beat themselves over the head and hope they wake up back in 1995. Gaming is growing, some games are going to be earth shattering masterpieces, and some are going to be popcorn fodder. I found this game to be somewhere between those two. I could consume a sequel or three happily, and there's nothing wrong with that so deal with it.
You should go first because most people are idiots who buy the first next gen that's out and then stay fiercely loyal. That's how ps3 was always behind x360 in this generation, but why the ps2 stamped out all opposition.
