Tomb Raider

Finished the story just now.

83% completion according to the game.

I dig...

 

The double pistols at the end to finish off Matthias.

Very nice callback.

And with the sequel possibly being centered around the Croatoa mystery, I'm stoked to see what they do with it.

...as for the rest? I have to imagine that unless Lara killed EVERY-SINGLE-LAST-ONE of the Solarii and Stormguard on the island, a LOT of psychotics are going to find a way to leave and track down Lara and her friends.

Now I get to look forward to getting the rest of the collectables and maybe going back to the MP to see how dead the servers are now.

Very impressed with the graphics on the console with Tomb Raider. I really want to see what it looks like on the PC.

I was loving the first hour I played last nite. I miss tomb raider.

After the first few waterslide/rockslides, you'd figure Croft would avoid that shit in case something like... I dunno... impalement might happen.

Biggest launch in Franchise History but failed to meet Square's requirement....WTF?

Square Enix

Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider had the biggest week one sales in the history of the franchise, and the most successful launch of 2013 so far.

In a GDC session attended by Jostiq, Crystal Dynamics head Darrell Gallagher outlined Tomb Raider's success, even though Square Enix revealed the game failed to meet expectations just days earlier.

"It's been the biggest week one sales in franchise history, and we're only a few weeks into that launch right now, and it's been the biggest opening so far in 2013," said Gallagher. "So, we're happy with the outcome. It's certainly in a place where we feel like we're on the road to achieving everything we wanted to.

"Certainly we're proud of what we achieved, and I think for the most part, the whole organisation is happy with what we did... Actuals and expectations, I guess, are two slightly different things. What I'm telling you is the actuals, and they're communicating expectations."

In a document circulated among its investors, Square Enix showed that the 3.4 million units Tomb Raider sold last month was lower than the company required. The figures were released to prepare investors for the company's next financial report, which will include a fiscal year loss of around $138 million, much of it attached to significant restructuring costs.

The company's performance over the last financial year, in which Sleeping Dogs, Hitman and Tomb Raider all failed to meet their internal targets, prompted the resignation of long-time CEO and president Yoichi Wada.

Think I'm almost half way through the game. Playing slowly but surely. Really enjoying it much more than I thought I would.

At the beach and I just got the COMPOUND BOW...I am ready to fuck more shit up. The reward at the end of this game should be Lara showering under a waterfall somewhere....she and those clothes have got to be funky as all hell by now.

Took advantage of the 50% PSN sale of this game about 3 weeks ago and just got around to finishing the game. 1st off I will say I don't think I have played a tomb raider game all the way through since like tomb raider 1 on PS1. I have tried a few of the other recent ones and I just felt like they were not all that good. I had a hard time putting this game down once I started playing and really enjoyed it. It definitely felt like I was playing a version of UnCharted which I absolutely love and in some instances it actually plays better then Uncharted. Not sure how this game flew as under the radar as it did for me but certainly glad I picked it up.

Wait till you get to the end of the game, then you'll really say that.

Why can't any of these action adventure games end well? They all get so goddamn dumb in the final act.

Are we saying he end of uc was bad? I only played UC2 and don't remember the end

Storywise, I think that they get really dumb. Not bad, per se, but dumb. If the endings to the Uncharted games and to Tomb Raider were made into an Indiana Jones movie, the ending would be Crystal Skull, not Raiders of the Lost Ark.

thats brutal...lol
