I really like the game but it just didn't feel Tomb Raider like to me. I dunno what it was. It just didn't feel like it had as many exotic breathtaking locations as other games did, tombs seemed mostly pointless as did the gps things unless they did something I am not aware of. I like how at the end she finally used two pistols at once, I was worried they were going to leave that out in the reboot and it made me smile to see they didn't forget It's left me craving more though and I hope it doesn't take them too long to make the next game because I really love these games and am a big tomb raider fan. Guess I can replay through the first 8 again in the meantime

I can't wait to see how they follow this up with TR2, especially if they skip ahead a bit to a seasoned Lara ala original Tomb Raider.

So I seem to be retarded and can't figure out on the PC version what button they want me to press to use the rope ascender upgrade. I wish they would just put the keypress they want you to hit rather than whatever it is they thought they were going to accomplish with the symbols.

There should be a button mapping option in the menu, it'll tell you all the controls(and you can change them if you want).

I know I can dream, but I would love to see the original Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider 2 re-done with this style of gameplay. Heck, I just want to see a remake of Tomb Raider 2, period. Maybe for the 20th anniversary? Please, please, please, please, please!

Just bought this game for the PC after I saw that my computer met the recommended specs. Never really played a Tomb Raider game before this though so I am excited. I can always use more Indiana Jones-esqu Adventure games in my life. Is the PC version good or did I just make a HUGE mistake?

There does seem to be some smattering of video card problems and some small UI issues, though.

Welp, looks like you'll be waiting a month to play with some of the best effects. Overall, it's a good port, though I'd still recommend using a 360 controller. It's by far one of the prettiest games out right now if you can get everything working, and TressFX is going to be a major gamechanger for future gaming hair particle effects once they get the kinks worked out. The game itself is totally worth it, moreso with the PC graphics boost that you won't get on consoles. It just sucks that Squeenix and Nvidia politics and misinformation hurt the gamers and the game's reputation for the silliest reasons.

I'm on a 460 and it's good on med/high settings... though post processing doesn't work without another app and the fps is inexplicably variable (feels like a memory leak, will hopefully be fixed in a patch). Still very handsome though

"Hey thanks for risking your life to save me helicopter pilot, lets go get my forgettable friends! " "we're all gonna die if we do that" "Do it anyways. I'm too cool to try and get proper help. (puts gun to pilots head)" Helicopter blows up and everyone dies except Laura. Also, once again we have no way of getting off the Rook islands. Good job LC you are a hero!

And she actually did die in the crash, but she got resuscitated. I think that was pretty much the only time she needed a rescue in the game.

For anyone who's using the borderless window app: are you getting a grey screen every time you take damage? It only seems to happen when I use the app. I really wish I could get post-processing working like this, but having no vision whenever I get hit kind of kills it.

Although not the story isn't greatest thing ever, one thing I do like is that Lara doesn't spend the entire game being told by someone else where to go or what the objective is, she spends a fair amount of time doing things on her own judgement and initiative.

Yeah, but she doesn't figure out the insanely obvious "twist" until like right at the end. Which felt really out of character to me - she should have realized it the first time you end up in the monastery thing. The plot itself is kind of crap, but what it has going for it is: it doesn't kill the minority characters (even if they are pretty stereotypical) and makes Lara an actual strong character. I think a lot of people don't realize how crap the plot is because the animation for Lara in particular is fantastic. And her voice actress is pretty good, orgasmic screams notwithstanding. Though for all the talk about how she was going to be less hot and less curvy...she's still super hot and has huge boobs. But I guess you have to keep something familiar about Lara Croft.

Why the hell did my invert Y axis setting suddenly stop working when i've got an arrow pulled back. edit: oh, part of the patch made a SEPARATE setting for aiming? and it doesn't default to the current invert Y axis setting you've already chosen? Oh yeah, that isn't going to cause issues.

Finished it with 97% completion, Steam thinks it took me 11 hours, but it seemed like longer to me. Definitely my favourite game of the year so far (MGR would have been ahead if it hadn't been so short and obviously done on a smaller budget and timeframe than it needed). Lara really should have figured out what was going on earlier but when you're not used to supernatural shenanigans, 'Oh, they're obviously transferring her soul' possibly isn't the first thing you'd think. And, oh, hey, stuff gets splashed on the screen now, the dirt after explosions is a pretty cool effect but kinda made it harder to see what was going on.
