Anyone know what happens after the end of the game? is it open ended etc? can you go back and explore or will you need to play through it again.

You can return to the island and finish exploring/collecting.


To be frank; I should never have be able to complete a TR game while drinking a bottle of whisky :o It was harder to get down the stairs to grab something to eat than it was getting to the end of any Tombs or finding the collectables :(

Can soneone explain what exclusive full screen is? If i turn it off i drop frames so i have that and fullscreen on

Just curious

The game gets exclusive access to the GPU its rendering on, no other application that uses hardware acceleration on that GPU can invoke fullscreen mode and when the game has focus they go into a "suspended" type mode instead of running in the background and have to reload resources to continue operation when switched back to. This can potentially cause issues with alt-tabbing, etc. but provides more performance where something is intensively using the GPU.

Is this on hard? Im happy with that length

Finished crysis 3 in 4 hours 37 minutes on veteran, that was a jjoke

I think 9 hours is more than exceptable these days

I'm 26% of the way through now and put about 5 hours in total into playing, taking it middle of the road kind of pace.

Its a bit more often than that - the first upto an hour depending on how fast you take it have them around every corner but its a lot less frequent after that.

Most of them are just annoying in that you have to mash buttons with no real purpose to it might as well be a cutscene anyhow a few are frustrating atleast for me because they don't seem to properly correspond to the buttons or are missing the button prompt entirely (get while concentric circles but no icon) leaving me to randomly mash keys and redo the same scene 10 times til I happen to hit the right key(s). 1-2 are good for fleshing out the atmosphere of the game but the rest actually detract from the game and would have been better as non-interactive cutscenes.
 
For anyone else that gets stuck on Chasm Monastery - another pointless QTE (of sorts) where your hanging from a hook surrounded by dead bodies - you have to reload the last checkpoint a couple of times til it lets you swing back and forth properly.
 
Enjoying the game so far but it hangs at every save point and the sound loops but sorts its self out after a few seconds. Does any one know why?
 
I've just read one another thread that Nvidia are working on some updated drivers to be released later this month that addresses the crashing problem so many lads seem to be having.
