Pre-order Rise Of The Tomb Raider to receive the bonus Remnant Resistance Pack, featuring the Remnant outfit for Lara, a collection of animal skins and ancient Byzantine armor.
Mark from WellPlayed writes about five game launches that were impacted by unfortunate scheduling.
Zero Dawn sold really well so I’m not sure this belongs. The second game released next to a big game again and it hurt it some I forget what it was though, oh yeah Elden Ring .
But a good game is a good game to me I don’t care when they release personally but they do have to think about it when you want to get more people to buy it.
The Survivor Trilogy was a drastic reimagining of Lara Croft and Tomb Raider, and it provokes changes for the character that are truly fantastic.
Deserves less IMO, i think the 1st in the new trilogy was a perfect 1st step for the new direction. The next 2 games were half steps at best. Not only that, every character in the series including Lara is just annoying and doesn't make sense in terms of motive, like yes they have a motive, but none of it seems proportional to the lengths they are willing to go through for it. The most annoying thing is every one of the games say "become the Tomb Raider" yet 3 games later and we're still not there? No thanks. Then there's the mess of the 3rd game, massive skill tree that serves almost no purpose as there's literally only like 3-4 short encounters in the whole game, and they took till the 3rd game to finally manage some decent puzzles even remotely close to previous games in the series. Nah, the trilogy infuriated me to no end as a long time fan of the series, i hope we get better going forward cause that crap sucked.
Yeah...no
It was awful, for THREE GAMES it was "become the Tomb Raider" where she went back to square one after each game. Not to mention after a huge reaction of killing someone for the first time she then becomes Rambo straight after and goes on a slaughter spree without a single other reaction. Her development was all over the place.
She was whiney, weak and in later game a little arrogant and selfish
Oh and the voice actress compared to the previous ones was not as good
Lara Croft deserved better and while they are decent games as they are, we deserved actual Tomb Raider games, we could have had better survival games if they just stuck with the original Lara Crofts origin about her plane going down. Surviving 2 weeks in the Himalayas...I'd have liked to seen that, who knows what mystical threat she could have faced in the mountains or underground some secret concealed cave.
2013 I thought was a fine entry, but Rise and especially Shadow were painfully mediocre follow ups imo, I really didn't like how selfish and angry her character was in those two.
First one was decent, played through it twice.
Second one was okay, played through it once.
Third one was really bad, tried twice a year apart, still can't get through the first two hours, it is just really bad.
Starting today, Tomb Raider, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Rise of the Tomb Raider are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until January 6 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they’re yours to keep.
They're all solid games, but nothing quite matched the epicness of the first one for me. I think the 3rd one started off strong but once you got to that Peruvian area it took a massive nose dive for me.
Great games I've played them all on ps4 but it'll be good to finally try shadow on my rtx card.
"rise of the tomb raider available for pre-order"with microtransactions that modify gameplay in a single player game NOT GOOD
Hope that this does well. Deserves it, but I fear Fallout 4, Halo, Battlefront and Just Cause 3 will overshadow it. Ironically I think the timed exclusivity means that because it launches in November 2016 for PS4 and some time (I forget) beforehand on PC, it'll actually do better in the long run than if it released on all Platforms on the date it releases for Xbox. Not saying the exclusivity is good for the game or that this was intentional but I think that these circumstances will help this game long-term rather than hinder it.
Or of course, all anticipation and desire could have dissipated for the the game before its multi platform release rendering my point moot, but it'll be interesting to see
Rise of the Tomb Raider looks awesome visually. But after watching several gameplay videos, I'm not as enthusiastic about it as I was a few months back...
ROTR was the main justification for me to purchase an Xbox One come Black Friday Sales. I will be a new X1 owner, and will pick up a Halo 5 Bundle, with some older titles like Halo MCC, Sunset Overdrive, Ori, Forza Horizon 2 ...possibly for little more than the price of 2 new X1 games /
You know what, lads?...I think Im gonna do it...this friday :)
I got FM6. And Im loving it. Got halo 5 limited edition with locke controller from game on pre order. This completes the trifecta. And It looks like a good game to be honest.
I'll be pre-ordering this game and Halo next week.
