I'm about to finish Rise of the Tomb Raider (got it in the summer sales) and holy poo poo is this game bland. Writing and story are abysmal, platforming (if you can call it that)/puzzles/combat are all very mediocre, and while the game is pretty in 4K the setting is one of the least interesting I've seen in the whole TR saga. Snow, gulags and wooden huts with some caves here and there really don't make for a spectacular looking game. Also lol at the micro-transaction thingies. Why did this game get 9s everywhere? Who even likes Lara's grating voice or "personality"? Why the gently caress is she a super soldier that kills hundreds of mercenary dudes and this is never ever mentioned or hinted at in the game's edgy story? EDIT: just watched the trailer for the new one, looks even edgier and even more poo poo if that's possible Kawabata fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Aug 20, 2018 |

It's one of those things where I just have to step back and realize other people have other game tastes because it definitely found an audience but I hate hate hate that style of game and hope it slides out of fashion quickly

In lieu of a better game coming out around the same time, RotTR is a solid experience in terms of controls and general gameplay, but I agree the story sucks and it doesn’t hold a candle to the first one. The VR mode is one of the best VR demos ever though. Lara’s house is fuckin’ gorgeous.

Mafia 3 could literally be elevated from mediocre to great by the simple addition of a fast travel system it’s nuts glad to hear I was correct in uninstalling Rise, I loved TR2014 but couldn’t get more than an hour into Rise without turning it off I was so bored. i don’t know what the gently caress is going on, why I should care, everything feels cheap and looks exactly the same and I keep getting lost because everything is loving snow

The gunplay in the new Tomb Raider games is the closest to a new Max Payne game (yes, seriously) I can get my hands on nowadays, which is enough for me to buy them. The collectathon aspect is pretty fun as well. I enjoyed the first one a lot more but I hope the third is decent. Please be good, Remedy's Control

It's funny I remember that giving me really bad motion sickness where I had a scrub tier VR stomach, and it was the tamest thing ever in retrospect. I wish I still had the game so I could try it again now.

Instead of returning to her father's research, Pratchett would have rather Lara's curiosity and need to find answers been the main motivation.

That honestly sounds worse than what we got. Nu Tomb Raider is already way too bleak for it's own good. I can't think of anything less appealing or relevant to the original series than "exploring Lara Croft's PTSD"

its fun to throw the axe at stuff, and to punch other stuff. if you think, "man it would be cool to throw a magic axe, and maybe get mad as poo poo and punch some stuff" you should buy it, but only if you're willing to grimly walk around and be bald and flash your titty

Mechafunkzilla posted:The new God of War is on sale, is it any good? it's a solid high-production AAA action game. Some sidequests and exploration but not a full-on Open World. Good story. Fun combat. Solid performances from the cast. Lots to do if you like it. It was a little overrated, but I bought it on release and was happy with it.

god of war is the best game released this year so far and it'd be pretty dumb to miss out on it because you think walking is boring (which you do in basically any game so this complaint kind of boggles my mind)Mandrel posted:Mafia 3 could literally be elevated from mediocre to great by the simple addition of a fast travel system it’s nuts that would be a massive help but it'd still need more variety to it. the open world would be totally fine if there was anything to do in it. very odd that there are zero minigames and the small handfull of optional missions are basically extended sequences of things you always do in the first place Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Aug 20, 2018 |

Think I've been spoiled by the Witcher 3 because as awesome as God of War was, it was very linear. Then again so was The Last of Us. And Uncharted. bad_opinions.txt
