Tomb Raider 2013

It's hard because when using keyboard they don't always show the key you have to press to pass the QTE, just those retarded icons that all look the same. I failed the first russian rape QTE like 10 times before figuring out I had to hit F.

Oh no, I agree with you on that point; I had the same problem at first. But a controller wouldn't help in this regard. The argument seemed to be that the controller made the physical execution of the QTEs easier - maybe because it spreads the buttons needed between two hands? Even so, when you know which buttons to press on the keyboard a chimp could do it.

Thanks for the info bros, I'll see if that x360ce tool helps.

I was gonna use keys/mouse, but after reading here that it works much better with a gamepad I went for it.

Check out motioninjoy, I don't know if it supports PS2 controllers, but I use it with my ps3 controller and it works flawlessly.

Oh gods, it's one of those games where QTEs don't show you the button but you have to guess the button by an icon? Gods...

Gods...

Bah, I tried that x360ce tool and it didn't work, there was some problem with missing .dll files. I also tried joytokey, which didn't work at all. I don't know if this fucking game supports only the xbox controller but it seems that it completely nullifies any 3rd party gamepad tools, so I'm guessing motioninjoy won't work either.

Anyway, fuck this shit. I'm using keyboard/mouse and that's that.

Seems to be hip these days to ride the "arrow to the knee" meme.

With all those "Dodge Count" perks, she later becomes an unstoppable killing machine giving "finishers" and brutal headshots to people left and right, 2 meter tall men in heavy metal armor and dozens of undead fully armored samurai warriors alike.

If she had machineguns, pistols and shotguns and everyone else was a machete rape wielder half the believability battle is over with. I'm half tempted to believe the only reason the takedowns/gratuitous deaths are there is welfare for an army of QTE/Cinematics animators.

Honestly though i don't give a shit, it's new video game trope, if you can accept 20+ years of exploding red barrels you can accept anything. It's just sperging at this point.

It's mostly because how it clashes with all the cinemafaggotry and emotionengagineering.

Holy shit. The final boss fight is a QTE.

Jesus that's hilarious.

I think this is one of the worst aaa games I've ever played. I forced myself to play it simply on the hype of the rape scene because I thought I would be missing out on discussion about it if I didn't, but HOLY FUCK this game is bad. So much badness... so much wasted potential. I struggle to even begin to describe it.

Even the writing is garbage. I thought they said they hired an actual writer?

He probably went like "okay, fuck this shit" and crapped out whatever kind of bullshit the devs had asked for, without really caring for the quality.

I think its a "she", not "he".

Tomb Raider has always been a console-focused third-person puzzle/platforming series, it's not like only now is it suddenly starting to "decline" if that's your criteria for it.

PC Tomb Raider was always better.

 

[Shadenuat]

Hard to believe that a wonderful daughter of a guy who wears mr. Death on his finger worked on such wacky and neat game like Overlord, but now associated with a game like this. I thought she is cool...

Just finished the game.

The good: Visuals, polish, Lara character model

The bad: Story not very original, characters rather bland, unnecessary 'level up' system

The ugly: This isn't Tomb Raider. There's too much combat, and the 'tombs' are too small and too easy. There's also a lot of really annoying QTEs.

This is Uncharted, but with a young British woman instead of Nathan Drake, and virtually no humour or wit to speak of. The entire game is focused on combat, with some jumping and climbing sections thrown in. Very disappointing, especially when you compare it to the two best games of the Tomb Raider series - Anniversary and Underworld, which had huge areas to explore and complex puzzles.

If they called it something else, and the main character wasn't Lara Croft, I wouldn't have a problem.

 

[Psquit]

yeah i remember ye old good tomb raider, it was like a prince of persia (the old one) in 3d and the puzzles were so hardcore.

I was struck by how deeply misandric this game is. A hot, innocent young girl killing hundreds of nasty 40 year old men who all want to rape and kill her.

Where are all the women on the island? Why do all the men look and act like crazed hobos?

The game is a joke.

Most modern videogame stories are completely at odds with the mechanics and Tomb Raider is a prime example. Sweet, innocent Lara goes from being some amateur archaeologist to being ridiculously physically adept, has Navy SEAL capabilities in dealing with injury and survival techniques, and after the game leads up to and makes a huge deal of her killing someone, she then proceeds to mow down literally hundreds without remorse, because it's an action game. The story never touches the point again.

Faffy pointdexters call this "ludonarrative dissonance" and it's why Uncharted can get away with it and Tomb Raider can't. Uncharted is Indiana Jones level wink-wink, nudge-nudge material that's always in on the joke and knows how ridiculous and silly it is. Tomb Raider never acknowledges that maybe, just maybe, an action game bordering so far from reality might also conflict with a "realistic", super-serious, dramatic story.

In my opinion this was completely the wrong direction to take the franchise and more importantly shows that the developers were not really thinking intelligently about their game despite the "dark and mature" facsimile.

Quoted because this post sums up the problems with the reboot perfectly.

They should have made a female Uncharted game and maybe done another Tomb Raider through Kickstarter, if Square Enix really didn't want to cough up the money for a sequel to Underworld.

Better, yes. But Lara Croft was basically the PlayStation's unofficial mascot and the game sold far better there than on PC as far as I remember. In subsequent years it became well known as a console-focused franchise.

I read somewhere (can't remember now sorry) that this is the game they wanted to make and had very few demands from Square Enix.

Ken Levine school of 'game as art' approach.

Pretty standard for a lot of console/multiplatform games these days.

Jesus that's hilarious.

Yes they had to put twig girl into game about Space Marines, and Since the Girl Powah! is modern Orthodoxy they made her not the civilian but Lieutenant of Army which has more brutal training than Waffen SS.

Hilarius and btw since when (Ordo Xenos? Judged by Black Templar not Grey Knights retinue) Inquisitor has authority to arrest Space Marine Captain? All fags here who buy such games empower Misandry.
