Tomb Raider Thread

Agnes i know what you mean by feeling weak, with her getting knocked about etc. But doesnt it sort of break that illusion when your killing loads of bad guys and her doing thoes up close kill animations.
 
A few questions for those playing it-

1. How customizable is the HUD? Can I turn the map off, quest markers etc?
2. Does it play well with a controller?
3. Are there any unfailable QTEs:mad:?
4. Are you basically a killing machine?

Cheers

Haven't played it yet but watched some of the videos - and seemed a lot of the time straight up gunplay (or bow or whatever) would be nice if there was more clever ways to dispatch hostiles (or maybe there is and the vids don't show it) luring them into traps, etc. would be quite satisfying.
 
The TressFX stuff looks really good, but judging by some benchmarks I've seen it's a fps killer, especially on Nvidia hardware.

Hopefully the beta drivers will improve performance.

Would love to get playing asap!

Alrighty:

Go to www.vpngates.com and then click on the free trial tab. After that select the Aussie server and enter your mobile phone no so you can enter the verification code. Then just download their software, go through the connection types if it does not connect on the default one.
 
Urgh, should have listening to my mate. Don't install the latest Nvidia beta drivers, they are bugged. Since installing, the game has crashed at least once every 30 minutes. So has WoW.

I just rolled back to 310.90

Good game so far, it feels most like Arkham Asylum (not City) with a smattering of Uncharted and some Tomb Raider. Done a couple of the puzzle rooms so far, they are small and self contained, do miss the huge Mayan statues with 4 seperate puzzle rooms to explore of the original.

Massively prefer Asylum over City so any comparisons to that has got me even more excited
 
Soooooo, my save says 33% completed, started at 1430, it's now 1950 haha. So not bad! One area in particular is simply HUGE, so need to go back there and continue exploring for hidden treasures.

I'm not feeling much tomb raiding going on, mostly survival haha, but I like it, as long as they make another Tomb Raider with grown up Lara in :D

I really like the combat, its very smooth, so I got caught up in a brawl, only way out was to be loud and fast. Shotgun to 2 men, up close, dodged a swing of the 3rd, countered with a arrow to the knee (abilities all later unlocked for those that have not played) then a swift killing blow to the head. Turned around, equipped my bow, a 4th jumped out of nowhere, ninja reaction and he got a point blank arrow in the neck and he just fell to my feet.

EPIC!

One main annoyance, more like a gripe, nothing bad. But they could have made the combat a lot harder, your aiming could have been much more sketchy, forcing you to take your time. Up close could have hurt a lot more forcing you to dodgy perfectly every time. Then, they could have drastically reduced the number of bad guys... They are all survivors, how many guys are there! I have killed at least 100 by now already haha. If each area had like 1-5, it would be much more intense. One guy, armed to the teeth, guarding one area, has a patrol. You would have to sit and scout him for 5 minutes to catch him out or sneak by.

Not this, 5 guys, kill, move on. But, having said that, the gripe is small enough for me to suggest it, not wish it :)

Played about 30 minutes and love it so far, it looks great and runs smoothly and plays pretty much like Uncharted so far. New Lara is easier to like and controls well. There have been quite a lot of QTEs already which I imagine some people won't like but I don't mind them as they do suit the nature of the game.

I was a bit worried about the lack of PC reviews but no regrets on pre-ordering :)
