Haven't played the new Tomb Raider but it looks freaking good to me. Seems Johnny just has a chip on his shoulder

@swinehouse @Psycold @Bayonetta2013 @Pre_ordered_PS4 I'm going to be 30 in July and have been playing PC Games since 1987! You got beat by two whole years...which totally matters. You should be old enough to know better; games like this aren't worth the money because a large chunk of your cash is going to a partially interactive cutscene where you have to tap a button over and over. People have been conditioned to think that is "gameplay", people like yourself. I prefer games that don't try to be movies.

@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.

Johnny, anyone who's as terrible at playing games as you are would undoubtedly find them frustrating. My 5-yr-old nephew is more competent with an Xbox controller than you are.

Can't wait till Bejeweled has you play as a 3rd person square gemstone with a bow that crafts it's blue gem stone ammo from green gems that you kill using QTE's! They can call it Bowjeweled!

The only thing more infuriating than a positive critique that tells me nothing, is a negative critique that tells me nothing.

@BoogieManZero if it told you nothing then you are deaf or stupid. It's not rocket science understanding what johnny hates about the game.

@StephenSays i know, right? Seriously I know gaming is the new film, but all these pretensious self obsessed hipster types need to understand that QTEs, cover based combat etc are all here to stay and they work well. Gaming is an art and art moves in trends. If these fuckwits don't like it they should just **** off back to their Zunes.

Really the only thing that comes to mind when watching this is the Feedbakula episode, and thus the gender thing. And it is really annoying when someone talks about the over sexualization of females and literally takes any and every chance to show and her chest and ass (when it's impossible in a 3rd person, and i have never heard the argument made for men in 3rd person games). I mean, it makes sense if it's flaunted, but it isn't in most situations in this game.

The best game in resent years. An honest day's work from the developers and a great experience for us gamers. If it was much longer in game time it would have been joy to us. Anyway good things don't last. Great work to you developers, a game that finally is worth the money. Looking forward to the continuation ?

I seriously hate quick time events in every game too (except God of War).. they kinda drains the fun i'm having and make me rage instead lol. I mean, whats the point of playing a game if it makes you mad rather than entertained.

All of the previous vids in this series were pretty funny, but here Johny just seems frustrated for no reason.

And he could not have hated it THAT much, because it didn't end with Chivalry.

It's very hard to think she's vulnerable when she can literally pull down entire structures using a rope.

@Sstrawberryjam She must be around 110 lbs and can pull down those structures without breaking a sweat. What's her secret!?

@GhostOfSparta4 @Sstrawberryjam I agree; not to mention taking on 220lb trained dudes in hand-to-hand combat.. but I've almost given up on trying to argue stuff like this because game devs are too busy getting kudos from the media for being 'progressive' to care about how lame lots of these action sequences look - and all you'll get is labelled as a chauvinist pig even though you're just pointing out factual problems..

I quite enjoyed it, it's got plenty of annoying bits like why bother leaving you to control Lara walking slowly through a linear tunnel with no where to go but straight ahead. Overall I found it fairly good. Can definitely understand why some people hate Tomb Raider though.

It's also very easy, like Assassins Creed easy.

@GarGx1 Short campaign, all the quick time events, lack of challenge, The disappearance of puzzle, bad characters, and button mashing, a lot of button mashing. It had its good moments as well but it wasn't a good game IMHO

Meh... I couldn't make myself care enough about Tomb Raider to finish it. I can see why other people really liked it, but I just didn't think it was all that great. Don't think it was my cup of tea, so to speak.


It reminded me a lot of how I felt when I played the original Tomb Raider games... games based on environmental puzzles just kind of bore me.
