I am 5 hours in (or there abouts) and think my save is 28% maybe lower... I do explore a lot though.
I think it's fantastic, I do not have a PS3 or have played the Uncharted games so maybe that has an impact; but I think it looks great, it plays great and I am intrigued by the story.
It is more Survival then Tomb Raiding, but who knows what else is left in the game - I seem to be moving into the "weird" territory of great powers/myths at play.
Really don't see why anyone would have a problem with mouse and keyboard, works just fine from what I have seen?!
Feels very like Uncharted, which is a good thing. Looks lovely though, running it on Ultra and seems to average about 45 fps on my rig so I am happy.

2.5 hours so far its Lara Croft & the omnipresent QTE events of lame approx 30% is watch lame ingame cutscenes. Whoever made this has been watching way too many poor american TV shows the storytelling is laughable & some of it is obviously stolen from Lost or ANother stranded on an island with fellow shipmates
Last week I saw gameplay videos on youtube which showed its possible to speedrun the SP in under 5 hours on a 360 without collecting the endless hidden items which add nothing to gameplay BTW.The gameplay is just the std QTE event or limited interaction at least I only wasted £19.99 on this its already close to being dumped near the bottom of my pile of uncompleted games by removing the environmental puzzles of earlier TR games & replacing with lame combat they have removed what makes a TR game IMO this is like RE6 all over again massive hype but nothing to show for it.
If you have very low expectations it will be passable but no more & the gfx in places are pretty poor even on ultra the TressFX is a waste of time none of the other characters have any volume to their hair none could afford a trip to the TressFX saloon
but whatever I am done with this now anyway its obviously been created by commitee going from a cut n paste checklist as its a hodge podge of most multiplatform action adventures from the last 2-3 years but just a very average one with hype dialled up to maximum & the paid for reviewers happy to get the Square Enix cheque See now I might be slightly biased but I think thats fair enough. They created it so they will make it run better on their hardware however theres nothing stopping Nvidia making their hardware handle it in the future. At least thats my (basic) understanding
Haha, I don't think AWPC likes it, a shame - I for one am loving it and I wouldn't say I have very low expectations
He sounds really angry, maybe he expected more booby? Its a cracking game, I'm not even sure he's playing the same game is us lot..
the gfx are really good, the effects are really good, the game does work better with gamepad, so that is a bit poor for k m users but really its the type of game that is best played with a gamepad anyhow
the tressfx is new tech, it'll take time to perfect. Its not perfect no, but it looks quite good IMO.
for a PC release its got a lot of good PC only features, borderless window, triple buffer, DX 11 features, good gamepad support, lots of gfx options.
I honestly do not see the issue with this title. Its got super PC support in fact.
Well those who are enjoying it, enjoy it, those who don't play something else.. Just a shame they paid up to £30 to find out, which I guess is the real issue, paying for a game you won't enjoy..

Please, stop for a second and remember, QTE means, quick time event. You don't have to put QTE event... Quick time event event.
Also, you have a very skewed idea on this game, you seem to be the only one who doesnt like the game lol.
And on the topic of QTE's, really? I have just unlocked the option for a counter which isn't a QTE. Before then, the only times were right at the start of the game. Everything else has been at my own pace... Not had a single fight intruded with QTE.
But, yea, you are done with it. So please move on

If it used GFWL it would be a different story!
that did make me chuckle...The QTE (quick time event) lol have not been overused, in fact for this game are essential as some of the time the cut scenes are interactive you play the cut scene, like in the first scene, won't say more, ruin it for others.
Its really well done, the game is very good and as said - uncharted for the PC. not such a bad thing now is it?
That's because of LOD, reduce that to normal. A resolution like that will kill a 680 with most new games haha. And turn TressFX off.
What type of QTEs are in the game?...because I really hate them. It might even be a deal-breaker for me!
I found it very hard to finish Far cry 3 due to its awful unfailable QTEs
. I am not totally against QTEs when done properly though. For example, The Witcher 2(some of the time) or Sleeping Dogs does them ok. What I hate most is QTEs that if you don't so them, it is game over and it just reloads and you replay that bit until you do it right

My only complaint so far is they could have put a few more of the tomb puzzles into the actual main story. There is a couple but not enough
Cant add spoiler tags on my phone or i'd put where i've got to.
