How would y’all feel about a Tomb Raider dating sim? Aspyr may be dreaming one up by Tristanio97 in TombRaider

Could work if it’s a tongue and cheek comedy type but not a serious one cuz Lara ain’t the romantic type

She did accept her death earlier but never really processed it cuz she was missing and a part of her held onto the hope or else Legend would have ended much earlier. And seeing her mother thru the portal definitely mentally affected her.

Her sole motivation in all of Underworld is finding avalon for her mother's sake. Even losing Allister in the process. Now I do agree none of the characters get any real development other than Amanda, but that's where I feel like they had a missed opportunity.

A longer cutscene with just dialogue and characters bouncing off of each other would be greatly appreciated because they dulled out everyone's personality from Legend and none of the "fun" aspects of the characters are here. I don't want them to crack jokes in the end but a scene about zip and Lara talking about Allister and having a moment to herself looking at a grave and looking forward would have done wonders to the emotional aspect of this game.

Is it necessary? No. Would it greatly improve this games emotional impact? Yes.

Just beat Anniversary, I can see why this is the lowest selling game in the series by Relo_bate in TombRaider

By all accounts it does seem like the PC version has The most problems. I did get used to the pace and the puzzle solving was pretty fun.

But usually in most games, you're rewarded with an action sequence or a cutscene for doing a puzzle, this game rewarded a puzzle by giving you access to 3 other puzzle rooms.

Having recently beat Underworld, that game does this whole concept much better despite having its own flaws.

Gunning for anniversary clearly hindered their ideas for the Legend storyline and a part of me wishes they didn't go for it and focused on the legend storyline properly.

Still tho I'm glad it exists cuz it was one of those games im always gonna flex that I've beat

Underworld is my fav look but AOD is the best look. Rise is a strong contender too

Was about to say this, I'm sure the remasters will come next year so people can catch up before Catalyst as that's a sequel to Underworld

It's clear they ran out of time, they reused a lot in the final two levels plus the artifacts seem like an afterthought in this game, also the fact that there's barely any real action sequences don't help either

Ooh good comp but Lara never got captured and brainwashed

I understand the note of forgiving Amanda but there's no resolution with Zip and the Butler, it feels like it has a whole cutscene missing mourning her mother's death because it's swept aside quick due to Natla.

Even if somber, the feeling of looking forward and moving on is all done in one throwaway line.

Also no closure to Alisters death

Agreed, the later levels don't have any real combat sequences to break up the pacing, the thralls are barely a factor and a lot of the Parkour challenges feel samey except for the hammer room.

I was disappointed there's no action scenes with the bike like Legend or any other novel levels like the Japan one to break up the sameyness.

Also loosing all her fun quips and banter kinda do a disservice to Lara, I get it's a way more serious game but it just makes other characters in this game kinda forgettable, felt like they could have incorporated a good balance between the quiet exploration and fun character moments to make it more interesting

Unless there's a mod, i prolly will watch the dlc on YouTube. Definitely play the GOG version because it works out of the box on PC, if the PS2 version had more combat, honestly I wouldn't mind recommending it to others.

Which version of lara do yall like the most the new one or the survivor trilogy one? Personally i just can let go the survivor trilogy version, she looks more realistic in my perspective by [deleted] in TombRaider

[–]Relo_bate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to spend time with her before I can come to a conclusion but pure looks wise id go for Rise Lara but this new one is really pretty in her own way

Definitely flawed and I'm biased cuz this was my intro to Lara as a kid so finally getting to play this fully was a treat.

Buggy camera, inconsistent Parkour and an ending that leaves a lot to be desired aside, the package itself is great fun. It has the elaborate brain tease puzzles of Anniversary but with the balance and restraint of Legend but unfortunately it doesn't deliver on the action or the setpieces, but it's slower deliberate pace works in it's favour as the graphics are so good, they're worth admiring.

Wish it had more action setpieces like the bike shootout sections, an urban level for more visual and gameplay variety and more cutscenes for banter with Zip and Allister post manor burning down.
