I just really couldn't get into the series back then, but, this might just be a generational thing. I thought the game was clunky and sparse, but I haven't gotten the chance to revisit the originals. However, I don't think I can muster the heart to do so. I couldn't go back to a game like that unless I enjoyed it.
I think the prior Tomb Raider games have been overrated. It was her "sex appeal" that made the franchise famous. I guess if the game is good, then maybe there's room for Lara in contemporary gaming.
I really do want to give this a go, but the lack of online co-op is a bit discouraging.
@Mr_Lu_Kim, Being too poor to afford their products does not make them horrible. It makes you horrible, you damn peasant. :)
Almost all reviews are going to give a mixed bag, and it's kinda rare when a game is unanimously praised as "good." I know people who thought the original Alice was rather mediocre, and some who thought it was amazing. That's why it's important to read a lot of different opinions, and then just decide from there.
It's been fixed, thanks for pointing it out.
Great job on clarifying what was fixed post-launch. It's too bad that the game doesn't offer enough out-of-the-box.
This isn't a grievance against Sony, there's no part in the article where I express any sort of discontent. In fact, the only reason the XBox Live incident was even referenced was my intention to alleviate grievances for PSN being down. The article is purely set for people to get a brief rundown of the events leading up to the PSN crash with no frilly, vapid speculation included. Read the article before posting. <3
Sorry, I don't have that kind of information, and I know that some people aren't familiar with the events leading up to this. That's the only thing I could honestly write about.
Thanks a bunch, I appreciate it.
Hey, author here, thanks for pointing that out. I apologize and am regretful for the misleading headline. Although, I really didn't want to come off as a Sony fanboy with my opening sentence. I'm just pointing out the trolls on 4chan that have been rubbing it in PS3 users. It's more of a tongue-in-cheek thing. But yes, thanks for pointing these out to me.
Ha! Good point.
Loved the article. You know, I share my sentiments about DLC. If it's just a measly mission that takes 30 minutes to complete, then count me out. If it's just a cool pad to store your stuff, same deal. Oblivion had a mix of awesome and crappy DLC. The great stuff was Knights of the Nine and The Shimmering Isles; while the crap DLC were the homes, horses and spell books.
DLC, to me, should be treated more like the expansion packs of PC games. Those were awesome becaus...
I'm having a massive internal argument in my head right now. One one hand, I think it's something pretty to look at, but this game seems profoundly boring. It seems more like a tour of abstract landscapes than an actual game. Honestly, it's more like a screen saver to me.
Now, the games that Proun mimics aren't new, but it seems to just go way too slow. There doesn't seem to be any present challenge.
It's pretty, though, I'll give ...
Gah, I'm sold. I just need a faithful PS3 coop partner.
I don't play much multiplayer at all, so I'm rather indifferent about this issue. If I want to check out the game on the cheap, I will. And missing out on the multiplayer aspect won't even phase me. But, I can understand why some gamers will absolutely hate this idea because they'll likely feel as if their whole world is crumbling down. In that case, they should check out whitewhine.com. First world problems for first world people.
I think it's a viable way to kick off research for a possible news scoop, but it's not the sort of stuff that should be reported on.
Reported for off-topic douche baggery.
I was almost going to pull the trigger on this game. Thankfully, I didn't.
lol, not very subtle, but it's good that there's a potential THPS game in the works that could go back to the series' roots. Good on them.
