Only because with given her stupid expressions... I still need to try for a picture of her smiling or winking when she impaled on something...?
-
The way people are spinning things nowadays I think it's preferable to be a mass murderer rather than a tomb raider... The jury is still out on which one I prefer over this and Rise... They've got to ramp up the combat otherwise I think the second game will edge it.
-
Depends what difficulty your on @illdog... You can turn off the white paint which marks the way and certain difficulties do it automatically.

I've got my Lara Croft loving Tomb Raider mojo back...? I've got to admit (even though the game is stunning) my first two sessions with this hasn't grabbed me as much as I would've liked, that changed yesterday, something clicked and I remembered why I hold Rise and 2013 in such high regard, I think this will end up joining them. I decided to move out of Paititi today and move the story forward and although I didn't actually get that much further the thrill of just exploring such a beautiful game world kind've took over... I'll admit I'd still like a bit more combat but the swinging, jumping and climbing in this, for me at least, is in a league of its own. Lara likes to keep this handy... For close encounters...

Pretty certain that's the X patch not a bog standard day one patch... Although it could have that thrown in for good measure too I suppose.
-
Unplayable mess... Pre-order cancelled.

I'm really surprised you're enjoying this as much as you seem to be @Blakey, I honestly don't think it's much of a departure from Rise at all (apart from the lack of combat, so far)... I played another couple of hours today, didn't get a hell of a lot done though to be honest as I've just reached Paititi, and it's a fucking massive hub area so everything pretty much ground to a halt while I ran around trying to find hidden stuff and side missions in the area, called it a day at the entrance to hidden tomb in the area. The game really is gorgeous to look at, unfortunately thought trying to play two story driven games side by side is probably going to harm my enjoyment of both so I think I'm gonna put this on hold until I've clocked Spider-Man. Careful of spoilers please @Blakey.?

When I booted the game it gave me some of my old costumes from previous games (from having old saves I guess) one of which is the survivor costume from the 2013 game... 2013 Lara... I can't believe how much they changed her face, admittedly it's been a while since I played the first game but still... 2018 Lara...
-
Yeah, so far so good... I've put maybe 5 or 6 hours in today (Missus is out?). It's more of the same but I'm more than alright with that. It is a lovely looking game, I'd say it's pretty apparent that it's not been held back by last gen this time. I've just reached Kuwaq Yaku (like that means anything to anyone) and there's been a surprising lack of combat so far compared to the other two games. I'm enjoying the chemistry between Lara and Jonah, there's a surprisingly realistic friendship there and some of the little looks Lara shoots him are really on point, although... He is so checking out her ass here... I will say that the opening hasn't grabbed me quite as much as Rise did so far but there's a long way to go yet. I fucking love photo mode nowadays...
-
It's been a fair while since I played either of these games but that sentiment is one I can get on-board with... they definitely pad the game in unnecessary ways (collect a part, oh no...it's broken into three pieces) Its one of the reasons I'm not overly excited by the third game.
-
Same as @DifferentClass... I seem to remember the game costing about 65 quid too, ouch.
-
She probably hasn't asked in a couple of years has she?
-
That Wipeout ad, is that Sara Cox?
-
Just remembered YouTube is blocked for me at work.... Anyway, going back some years now... this really grabbed my attention as a kid. Can't think why... And who can forget this Sony clanger... What were they thinking?
-
So this is shamelessly stolen from an article on Destructoid, gaming adverts for better or worse in some cases, what are some of the ones that have stuck with you? This could be tv spots or maybe old magazine spreads... feel free to post not just favourites but ones that you feel were complete missteps. For me a lot has to do with the choice of music to match the imagery used and these two definitely hit it out of the park for me... Gears of War 3... Gears has always had good tv spots, this one basically takes you through snapshot moments of the first two games leading to that tagline "Brothers to the end"... God, it almost tears me up now. I'm not exactly Smashing Pumpkins biggest fan but this song fits so well, loved seeing this playing on the tv at the time.
-
The two Darksider games were really cheap for current gen Xbox a couple of months ago, kind of sad I didn't pull the trigger... didn't because I'm not 100% that I'm gonna go for the third game. Carry on with the updates dude...?

Welcome to the club @retroed...
-
It would be in my house @regemond... I'd kill it with flames just to be certain.
-
That's very nice @regemond... what is it?
-
That's Jill Valentine for you....
-
Treated my self to a new TV unit, one I actually don't have to try and arrange 3 million wires to be out of sight....
-
Turn the difficulty right up @Blakey.... You like Dark Souls, do it. It makes your victories so much sweeter.
-
Don't let the floaty damage numbers fool you, this is a open world action game through and through... The RPG elements are very similar to the Tomb Raider games. You won't start the game doing 10 hit points of damage and end it doing 1 million... @Blakey After the initial fear of the Switch/Zelda launch timing effecting the sales of this I'm glad it did the numbers it did, it deserves all the success it gets... It's a fucking miracle what they've achieved on a vanilla PS4.
-
Oh, now that ain't fair @Blakey... You can't make me choose between those two. My sitting on the fence answer would be that they're actually reasonably different games and shouldn't be compared to each other, much the same as Uncharted and Tomb Raider really shouldn't... My heart tells me Horizon takes it on combat, story and looks (although I've not tried RotTR in 4k yet)... It's fucking excellent and i cant wait for the inevitable sequel.
-
Finished this earlier, it's all around outstanding... I was hoping I'd get an epic picture for the Platinum Trophy, and of course, i ended up with a black screen. One of the best games I've played this gen and probably a shoe in for GotY for me... I can't see anything topping it this year, it's already made my PlayStation Pro purchase so worthwhile too. Roll on the story expansion.
