As I've read more and more discussion on games like Uncharted, Grand Thefto Auto, and this, I'm not sure what it says about me that I don't really connect the story beats with gameplay actions. A grotesque death like this stuff with Lara in the river would give me pause if it were part of the story but as a game over screen, all I see myself thinking is "hurry up and reload".

Right, it's clearly a discussion based around interpreted misogyny, sexism, "or whatever else" when the last page has been a comparison with the similar story/gameplay disconnect you get in Uncharted. You really pegged that one.

I found Anniversary to be the best of the bunch but that is no doubt nostalgia influenced. I'm not sure I agree with the parkour comment on Legend but I side more with Underworld with how expansive the puzzles feel.

Crosshair sway is a good idea to show inexperience is a good idea in spirit and awful in practice. Tewratomeh posted:Reading the comments here I guess I'm the only one who really liked Underworld and thought Legend was pretty lame and forgettable. Legend felt like a continuation of those lovely one-off games that came after TR3, like The Last Revelation and Chronicles, and Angel of Darkness (which I never played but I heard was godawful). I liked Underworld more than Legend, albeit with how large and multistage the puzzles were, I sometimes felt at a loss for the next steps.

Tewratomeh posted:Non-lovely graphics and not shooting people until the last level or so, where you get a weapon so awesome you don't really need to use a gun. It was also the one that introduced the "walking precariously atop framework/poles" mechanic. Yes, I really do like how the levels in Underworld feel like you are exploring a tomb from beginning to end. You aren't just dropped at the entrance and as you enter a puzzle space there isn't a slow pan showing you each key element. Granted, there isn't much telling you at all outside of Lara camera filming cutscene and the vague Field Assistance comments, but still... I didn't feel fed the path I need to take, which is nice.

Dan Didio posted:I wasn't mocking you, I've got Idle Thumbs on the brain. There's a game I'm sure I played fairly recently that had a lot of displayable collectibles, but I can't remember what it is. In this, you've got the Skyrim style 'rotate' camera thing whenever you want to look at what you've collected, and journal entries and similar have full audio playback. When you rotate the collectibles, sometimes you find sweet spots which reveal more about the item and you get more Xp as Lara narrates what it means. It's a pretty neat system. Kind of shallow, I suppose, but it's nice to see something other than 'collect thirty silver medallions'. Are they easier to spot than a small blinking light?

After the first hunt for food, aren't all future animal kills just to net more salvage parts? As in, mechanical salvage parts? I don't care if it is logically inconsistent, that just makes me laugh so much if it is true.

I'm not in love with QTEs but I appreciate Crystal Dynamics design choice to have then flow with what is going on in the scene instead of just being a bland pop up. It's less jarring to me, at least.

Guardians of the Light or Underworld. GotL is played from a fixed isometric view, so take that into account.

Outside of the ropes, I'm having a hard time placing any white fabrics being perfectly clean. The effigies in Shantytown are probably the closest but they definitely have some grime on them.

Does anyone here like steelbook cases? I got it with my copy at Target bit am trading the game in now that I beat it. Figured I would check and see if anyone wanted to swap cases before I did.

Xenomrph posted:Is it a pretty cool case? I might be interested. Sorry, I thought I said I had the PS3 version, which isn't an issue for the steelbook but would be for my trade in. I like it but as it was when I got one for Assassins Creed 3, the clips for the manuals and stuff aren't placed for PS3 sized so it's kind of annoying to have them flop about whenever I open it.

I mean I think steelbook cases are pretty slick, and the version I got came in a big metal "Survival Tin" but the game itself was in the normal green Xbox360 case.

Mr. Mallory posted:There's criticism and then there's picking apart stupid poo poo like she doesn't die from an infected wound. I think the financial cost is also a factor. Outside of buying season passes from iTunes or Amazon Video, games cost considerably more to consume compared to tv, movies, or music. People wind up being a lot more defensive towards criticism so as not to feel like they wasted their money.
