"All I'm saying is that things aren't always as they seem. Whilst many PS4 owners were rightly frustrated initially about the whole situation, Crystal Dynamics owes them an apology and it might just do that with what could be a more polished product that will offer a better value for money."
Gamespresso's Steve argues that it might not be all Tomb and gloom for PS4 owners in regard to Lara's new adventure.
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.
Yeah, I have an Xbox One and am really looking forward to this game, but I'm really thinking about waiting for the PS4 'Definitive Edition' or something like that. It comes out a year later so it's bound to have received some extra work / DLC.
How would they? PS4 users lose out for a year. That sucks.
as a gamer, one year is long time to wait.
If a 'game of the year' edition were to release with all the DLC included. It would release on all platforms.
By then, XO players won't be discussing Tomb Raider.
Maybe I'll get it when it's cheaper but first I'm getting:
Uncharted 4
Ratchet and Clank
Horizon Zero Dawn
The Last Guardian
Star Ocean 5
Yooka Laylee
Dragon Quest XI
Final Fantasy XV
so Tomb Raider isn't even near the top of my list
Of course they're not! Xbox One users will get the game early by a whole year! Contrary to those who say 'we'll get the definitive version' and so on, Xbox One and the gaming media will be all over Tomb Raider THIS YEAR and then when it comes to PS4, it's kind of spoiled due to all the news/walkthroughs/gameplays etc. Not going to lie though, the deal kind of sucks especially considering myself and I'm sure many others associate TR with the Playstation brand but even though it sucks, downplaying it isn't going to do any good, the deal's already been made.
