I don't really understand achievements. Does getting 2 achievements register as, well, an achievement, for people who follow that culture? People will remember Mr marvelous from the gamestm forum. He was mad for achievements, but it was from an intense love of gaming, not just number hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only ever cared about the numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 He swore blind he loved those games from the lower rungs, though. And I'm sure he played on other platforms. Maybe I'm wrong. He feckin loved those cheevos though. Wasn't he top 20 in the world or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Yeah, I remember that too. So to get back at the topic at hand, if you play and finish all those sweet tombs in RotTR your chances to receive an XSX from Microsoft increase significantly!

shinymcshine Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Alas, I was expecting a free climb and explore around Croft Manor, but instead got something more like a walking sim. Okay the story was quite nice, but it just didn't offer the experience I anticipated. Time to move on Thanks to @Nag to nudging me into giving RotTR a go, I really was quite put off after the reboot, but now will be going forward to SotTR sometime. As an aside I watched the 2018 movie reboot this morning, it was bang on average, but at least the actress felt a bit more like Lara than AJ ever did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I think Jolie was a good pick for old Lara, though I can imagine her fake british accent sounding a bit weird to the native speakers. I don't notice that stuff. Will be interesting to see what you think of shadow. Going by how you rate the other two games it's probably a safe bet that it'll turn out to be your favourite but personally I didn't like its almost glacial pacing in the middle. And with all that talk about the franchise I'd really like to play through Rise again. I think it got an X upgrade at some point so I might hold off until I have an XSX so I can replay it on that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 So I got this and shadow for 8 quid on the Xbox deals page the other day. Put this on to see what it looked like on the SX, and feckin Nora, it looks good. I was rather taken aback actually. Wasn't this a 360 game originaly. It wasn't far off something like Gears 5 from what I could see. And then I found I didn't want to stop playing it. I didn't mean to start a playthru, but I might just see this through.

shinymcshine Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 RotTR was a Microsoft timed exclusive, released on 360 & Xbox One in 2015, coming to PS4 about a year later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 That probably makes more sense. A cross gen effort. I would have played it on PS4 originally. Xbox have certainly moved on from the days of the dodgy timed exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellow Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I sort of meant that they've formulated a plan around gaming and are going for it no holds barred. Like, ringing up square enix and claiming a sequel of this type (great for fans like me, but hardly bringing in COD numbers) for a year seemed a bit half hearted to say the least.

Maf Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 It’s because at the time Uncharted was really big, Xbox didn’t have an answer to that, and they struggled with the XOne so it makes sense to me. I don’t think it really did anything for them, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have dreamt this. No. I've just checked. They have.😀 I reckon they should do a deal with Square enix and put Lara in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Nah, do a deal with Currys and put a fridge in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Finished my playthru of this. I love this game, and I really hope this trilogy isn't it for Lara. She's had a good run I suppose, but I still like running her around these gorgeous tombs and indulging her rather cute psychotic homicidal impulses. Bring her back I says. There's loads of stuff still out there for her to kill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
