Tomb Raider

**Ragnus** · 2013-03-11 10:24

I'm probably going to put two playthroughs into it. Playing on normal and will do a hard run soon. I missed some convos with the Endurance crew so I have to do another playthrough just to get that achieve. I just hope I can get the multiplayer achieves in local multiplayer. I hate doing those ones

I'm tempted to buy the game but I'm looking for an excuse to wait for it to drop in price.

Setting aside going for 100% completion or whatnot, it's about a 10 hour game.

660ti here, i'm still getting crashes with tessellation and exclusive fullscreen. I'm waiting for the new nvidia drivers to come out. I can get about an hour of gameplay before I crash to desktop.

Just want to say I fucking love this game. If SE can keep funding shit like this (and Deus Ex, though I didn't play that one), then they could get out of the red easily.

It's been a long time since I've really gotten into a console game. So happy. ALL THE TEARS.

Deus Ex HR was freaking amazing, but did it do well financially?

**Ksandra** · 2013-03-11 21:04

I actually am not sure lol. I would have assumed it did because it had insanely high reviews.

**Krandor** · 2013-03-11 22:37

According to the googles it's sales figures were around 2.2 million a few months after release, but most recent sale figure I could find was in late 2011. So probably ended up doing pretty darn well.

**Ragnus** · 2013-03-11 22:51

Deus Ex HR was amazing except for the outsourced boss battles. Some builds just couldn't work against that grenades and gatling gun boss.

Is it possible to miss weapon parts in this game btw?

**Nitsuki** · 2013-03-11 23:13

I believe so. Also just beat the game first playthrough on hard w/ 79%. What a beautiful game. And the game seriously deserves my money, will be buying it once i get paid, i really feel bad for pirating the game, especially after all the thanks in the credits. God, here's hoping to a possibility of fully remaking the first and 2nd game. One can only dream.

Seems like it, I think some pistol upgrade parts are during those end sequences where you won't be able to go back. Try as I might I could not get my pistol fully upgraded, ended up 2/3 on parts.

did you play sleeping dogs? that was another very under rated game that ended up being fantastic(except for the driving, on pc at least)

but yes this is one of the best games i've played this year, just a shame its so short if it really is only 10 hours or so.

I did not. I will look into it, thanks!

One the other hand my first reaction was "no for remakes" since they already remade the 1st one and I was a really good remake, but then if they really remade them in the style of this one how glorious would it be O.o Really, the main thing I miss in this game is more tombs and a variety of locations, not just one island (which is still gorgeous anyway).

cosigning the recommendation

I've noticed a lot of complaints have been that the game takes place in one location and has lack of tombs. People seem to forget this is the start of a new Lara. This is what turned Lara into a Treasure Hunter with a couple of pistols. I think everything fit fine. She started off as a very naive young woman. She had to kill and survive. She witnessed deaths of very close friends. She saw first something that had never been seen before and became the main reason for her group to be the first survivors from the island ever. This is what leads her into becoming a treasure hunter.

Though if you believe the theories out there, the next game will be focused on one certain area as well. However, I believe there's a lot left from this game that they're going to use to flesh out a vast franchise with.

**djzombie** · 2013-03-12 18:41

Yeah I hadn't realized it was a prequel until one of my buddies told me(i had read very little about hte game before buying it), was playing through it and she was all "uhhg i hate tombs" and im all "trolol double you tee eff?!?" knowing its a prequel that line made a little more sense.

I dont have a problem with the singular location(island), i just wish the "tombs" had a little more depth to them. but i dont want these minor complaints to overshadow the fact that this game is amazingly fun to play.

**Salodin** · 2013-03-12 18:47

Honestly, the realism in size of tombs and the one island to explore is what made this game near perfect for me. If I wanted legend of zelda dungeons id play legend of zelda. Im loving realistic Lara and Tomb Raider.

**Ksandra** · 2013-03-12 18:55

Ya. I used to be a huge TR fan, but I never really thought of the title just that she was like a female Indiana Jones. As long as I get that feel I don't care if she's in tombs, outside, or my little pony land (with the zealots for that show it's possible).

And ya especially since it's a reboot and this is the beginning a lot of it makes sense. I mean the idea behind "tomb raider" is her looking for lost treasure. The plot of this still fits in with the classic Lara mindset, so it doesn't really bother me.

**Nitsuki** · 2013-03-12 21:57

Once i complete my playthrough, is it really possible to 100% the game? I've looked everywhere in the starting area and i'm missing 2 of those stupid totems that i have to shoot down from a tree. I feel like i can't continue looking for stuff until i find those 2 little fuckers.

First, check behind the very first camp fire. That one got me for awhile. Next check under all the bridges and at the small shrine towards the corner of the map.
