If you want old school... play old school...
It's time to grow up and accept that things change in the industry.
You can't seriously expect a franchise that started on the PS1 to continue to look and play like a PS1 game.
Get with the times or simply play the old Tomb Raider games until your nostalgia meter is full.
What's wrong with more games that are like Uncharted and Batman?
Are you saying that you're satisfied with just having Uncharted and Batman and other similar games shouldn't exist because it's been done already?
I thought it was a great game! I like the old Tomb Raiders as well, but this one raised the bar way higher.
Tomb Raider is growing up. I like it!
I don't have the will to finish a game that is kicking my ass. I agree with the people above that games should be fun and when a game is too challenging, it takes the fun away and you're left angry.
Mine has been fine. What's the deal?
Wasn't funny..
The thing about consoles is this...
When you write a game for a certain console with fixed hardware specs, you're going to be able to maximize the performance of the machine.
This is why The Last of Us looks so good, and it's running on a 7 year old system.
It's all about optimizations.
Now, to a certain extent, developers will optimize the Windows version of the game as well, but it seems like they don't work...
30fps for consoles
60fps for PCs
You can pack more visuals into a game that runs 30fps.
When you're on a PC, you can lower the visuals or upgrade to better equipment until you reach the graphical level and framerate of your dreams.
Console developers have to pick and choose what's important. If controller response and silky smooth frame rates are their goals, then they can't have the best physics, lighting, textures, tesse...
I think it loses it's cinematic quality at 60fps. It just looks "wrong".
It's like the soap opera effect. Looks bad and out of place.
It's not the TV that gives you pop-in. What planet are you from?
No matter how powerful the hardware gets, you'll always be able to produce better graphics at 30fps than you can at 60fps.
Developers usually go for 30fps so they can squeeze more effects in.
Wow, that's a huge statement.
I watched my girlfriend play it. It's a shooter. Shooters don't turn me on anymore. They're boring and monotonous.
That was funny. I guess I'm a PRO!
I really hope FPS games are going away. I much prefer 3rd person platformers where I can see exactly what my character is doing, see the emotions, see the pain or struggle when I'm hurt.
When I play a FPS, I don't have a voice, I don't have legs, I don't feel like I have a body. When I'm hurt, the screen just flashes. I have to mow down wave after wave of enemies. Jumping looks really stupid and awkward. Where does my gun go when I climb a ladder? Where d...
I don't mind quicktime events. I think they're designed to make you feel like you have very little time to react (similar to how the character is feeling in the actual game). I wolf is jumping toward you... what do you do... you have to be fast and make the right decision or you'll die.
Plus, I have the tendency to put the controller down and sit back when a cutscene starts, but quicktime events keep me on my toes and make me pay attention to what's happening ...
Just bought this game tonight. It's very easy to pick up. It reminds me of LIMBO if you could fly and you were always moving to the right.
I have no interest in this shooter. I don't care if it's colorful or pretty... at the end of the day, it's a shooter.
Since when does RAM itself matter? The Wii U has a weak CPU... all the RAM in the world isn't going to make a game magically better.

None of those games you listed interests me.
They're nothing like the games nix listed.
