Falling in Love with Lara: Tomb Raider

Here are two phrases you'll never hear anyone say. "I'm fed up with this orgasim" and "I loved that QTE".

Why do developers insist on putting QTE's in games. Does anyone like them?

This one wasn't as funny as the others, but I'll miss this video series.

Would love to see his impressions on other series.

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.

finished this game in less than 2 days time, and left with no desire to replay it; it is equivalent to watching today's action movie, campy dialog, so-so voice acting, explosive action-packed scenes, a bit of intriguing plot development that peaks to a disappointing storyline and nevertheless, a predictable ending and also followed by a series of unchallenging boss fights

and not to mention, the f*cking QTEs

Man I also hate QTE's.

Yes, this game is VERY disappointing to those of us who actually enjoyed the earlier titles. This one is basically 95% EVERY OTHER game that you can think of besides TR, and then the other 5% is a bit like the TR we've come to love, and really, what the whole game should've been like. Definitely a bad decision on the part of whoever got to decide, and hell, he even admitted it... right before he resigned.

I must say, this is the first proper gameplay footage of the new TR I've seen...and it doesn't appeal to me at all. Glad I cancelled my pre-order at the last minute. Sneaking around in the dark shooting guys with a bow? Not really what I want from a TR game,

The face looks like Francisco Randez A.K.A. Desmond Miles from AC,or is it really him?

Is he Francisco Randez A.K.A. Desmond Miles? It gotta be him. Anyway,looks great, I still prefer fine single player games with great story and atmosphere rather than multiplayer shooting massacre. I have faith on SE.

@HipHopBeats @mimsoo you couldn't be more wrong.

Aw I was looking forward to seeing you play Legend, my favourite of the series. I don't get why you would struggle through the first 4 or 5 which have not aged well, and then skip the best one! Madness.

I think is funny how Johnny mocks the story, the characters and the QTE's and then he goes to play a mindless game were all you do is run around waving your sword (Chivalry). Tell me Johnny what else you do in Chivalry besides mashing buttons like mad????

Johnny wow, you suck :))

Man, this guy's hateful comments about Tomb Raider should be shown on feedbackula!!! The host of that show would tear this guy a new one!...

Game suggestion: Max Payne 3 (or any of them)

always a good time with these guys!! : D

Watched 3 minutes. I don't know what's more annoying, looking at Johnny or listening to him. lol I'm mostly joking. Mostly.

I love Tomb Raider too much to watch this...thing, for more than five minutes.
