I'm saying the fight against the water guy was completely bullshit and that's a bonafide fact!

I didn't like it because it took all the fun stuff that was in the first game and replaced it with more anime nonsense, and like thirty seconds of Christopher Lee.

Christopher Lee and Leonard Nimoy were both big important figures in the KH games and now they're both dead. But so long as they still have Haley Joel Osment and his tiny, tiny baby face voicing Sora it will be good.

I had the level skip code memorised for a while.

It's something like L2, R2, triangle, X, L1, L1, circle, R2, R2 in the inventory screen. And once you came out of the inventory you'd hear lara go "Ahh," like she'd had a health kit.

You just reminded me that the PC version's out and that I need to buy it.

Immediately impressed by the 18GB filesize. That's a drat fine filesize for a big budget game. drat fine.

Years ago some European dude put out a massive mod pack for the original Tomb Raider where Laura had a jetpack and the plot was a bunch of quantum physics bullshit and he made a bunch of FMVs of him talking to a CGI Laura Croft. I wish I could find it because it was like five flavors of :wtc:

Was he only in 3? My childhood memory tells me he was an important fixture of the whole series.

He actually scared me as a kid. When I was loving around in her mansion (I definitely spent WAY more time loving around in that mansion than playing the games) I would run to another room when I heard the endless rattling of his tea tray. It felt like he was stalking me.

imagine uncharted but with decent stealth, tighter shooting, weapon upgrade crafting, small open hub environments to explore, side tombs with upgrades in them, etc. instead of just being a critical path action movie. the first one is not required because the only character from it peaces out 10 minutes into the new game i've heard.

God yes it was amazing and so loving tense. The visuals are great, the movement is great, even the combat is pretty solid.

My only real complaints are 1) there's no avoidance stealth after one small section of it. You go straight from oh poo poo hide from bad dudes, to killing a guy who will murder you and crying about it, to assassinating 40 men.
Basically there's evidence there was supposed to be a theme of Lara hardening in the adversity, but theres no gameplay or even cinematics to flesh it out.

2) for a game with great maneuverability, why are there so many arcade style shooting sections? They aren't bad, in fact i like them, it's just an odd choice.

Also, i'm loving how much faster than Drake she is at climbing and jumping.

I suggest play 2013 Tomb Raider. Then Rise.

Then, if you want to see the very first one turned into an amazing game play Anniversary.

yeah they pretty much looked at uncharted and decided genocide was the essential feature of an indiana jones type game.

Hm, thanks

I've never actually beaten an Uncharted, but it's been so long since I played one (2?) I don't know whether to attribute that to my general console antipathy or if I just don't like that style game anymore or what

Maybe I'll pick up the first one on the cheap and see if I like playing it
