Nah... Tomb Raider was pretty good, i think this will be even better.
There's too much negativity surrounding this reboot for me to think it'll be better than Tomb Raider.
Tomb Raider was good, if we ignore it wasn't the same game as the originals

Hopefully it will be good, though I must say I'm currently playing 'Dishonoured', which I am 30hrs into and loving it, had no idea this game was as good. Games waiting to play on steam = Sleeping Dogs, Saints Row IV, Thief, but so enjoying Dishonoured I don't care about the rest. 
All depends how you will play it.
If you rush through it the yea wouldn't surprise me.
play it like it's made, wait to avoid guards... scout the surroundings before taking action... collecting everything for max points... then you will be playing it for more than 6 hours lol

Hitman for me was dull. I loved Tomb Raider and I completed that 100% with all the little side missions. I hope this is good but if it isn't, it cost me nothing, as I got a AMD gold voucher when I built a work colleague a CF 7950 system.

So as expected another simplified a-->b game

Yeah Hitman was really dull overall. There were a few good bits and options to assassinate people but overall I just found it pants.

Didn't even finish Hitman got board of it. Loved Tomb Raider though. From what I have seen of Thief is looks very much like Dishonored if you not played that yet then you missing out one superb game.

Being developed for consoles does NOT = automatic crap game. There are plenty of games that are console only that are classics.
My annoyance is not with the game itself, but with the fact that Square Enixx and AMD promised Mantle and True Audio support for this game from release. I don't give a crap if it is only a week before it gets patched.
Don't ****** lie to your customers AMD and or developers.

I agree. Kind of a bummer because now I am not excited for Tuesday's release (I am in the US) at all. I wanted to test out the true audio and mantle on a game that isn't BF4. It's worrisome that they are 2 for 2 on delays now with Mantle. Even if this one is only a week or so rather than the month it took BF4. And I know it's on the developers side, but still.

Just read on guru 3d its not shipping with mantle support

It was BS and sneaky of them to pull this after it went gold and pre orders were being taken as well.
I've requested a refund from steam, I MAY reorder when they have a finished product, but not before - enough is enough.

Yeah I think that has ragged a lot of people off who were giving mantle a wide berth.

I see your point in fairness. Thief was touted to have Mantle/True Audio support from day 1 and a few days prior to release, they come out with this. If it was just Mantle missing, I would say get on with it but lots of people have been looking forward to True Audio (I know I would if I had a 290/X) and to let the customers down right at the last is a little disappointing.
I am sure they will have it sorted and hopefully not like BF4, where you can play for 30 seconds a week on 14.1 drivers (I might have exagerated a little
).

The thing is that it was "gold", I think that's the kicker.
Yet when they've been going on about the product, the audio's a massive part (Now not there, but I thought the true audio was so that they could do the effect without hitting the CPU so hard, so surely they can still have it, wouldn't mantle make the chip redundant etc? Confused.com)
