re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

Mostly on point.

UC2>UC1>TR>UC3

Remember that UC1 came out in 2007. It was absolutely mind-blowing for the time. It also created the formula for all other UCs and for the TR reboot.

Well, if you're not even going to bother to read my posts... ;)



I get it, but I don't think that being "stale" will be a problem at all. If anything the perception problem for the previous...

re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

Agree that it's a little bit "inside baseball"

I don't know if the ND teams have names per se, but you basically have the team who made UC1 and UC3, which was previously headed by Amy Hennig, and...

re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

No, I absolutely said what I meant.

It's purely list wars fodder and does absolutely nothing for those millions of people other than giving them a game they were getting anyway. Unless you can...

re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

It's clear, I think. If MS is publishing, it has moved from timed exclusive to exclusive exclusive.

But the equivocation has hurt them from a PR perspective. It's announced and is assumed (yes,...

All I know is that when I read your post, I kind of felt like this guy:

re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

I like Jim, even if I could live without the character he's playing. He consistently sides with consumers, and usually constructs sensible arguments. And I'm kind of with Decker in that I don't...

re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

Now that you mention it, I almost never buy single player games at launch, and I think I'm more likely to rent them over a weekend going forward.

I still haven't purchased a copy of Last of Us, as...

re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

Nothing except that it sold more and wasn't really a system seller. You mentioned the 6.5M and that number sparked the Watch Dogs sales in my head, because it's a similar number.

Still less than Watch Dogs. ;)

What people are downplaying the franchise and the reboot? I think almost everyone here loved it.

re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

PvZ was announced as an exclusive IIRC.

I don't know if the deal was in place at E3 (doubt it), but if they had announced it there with the first teaser, I think the reaction might have been...

re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

Partly agree. The R&C proper games were good throughout. Crack in Time is actually my favorite in the series. But the R&C offshoots (A41 and FFA) were terrible, and Resistance was a Vanilla...

re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

I don't think they've said anything, but I'd bet on the former just because it seems like the cheaper option.

Edit: It also fits with how the last game was made.

re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

I don't know about that.

Off the top of my head: Ace Combat, Dead Rising, Resident Evil, GTA IV DLC, CoD and Battlefield DLC, probably others.

I really think what made this one unique was the...

Not just MS, but everyone. With an audience this savvy, corporate double speak just doesn't play well anymore.

re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

Glad this is re-opened, because I didn't see the tempers other than some fist shaking at "the internet" and the reaction to the moneyhat. It seemed to me like most here reacted very calmly to the...

Was anybody in here ever anything but calm?



Speaking of calm the hell down. :lol:

Nobody said this once, much less repeated it.

re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

I don't think that's right. Pretty sure Square Enix is still the publisher. And the more I think about the business doublespeak they are using, the more I think it's timed.

It's really hard to...

re: Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbox One now, PS4 on 10/11/16)

I get that, but I think you mean 2 and Warped. The first game hasn't really aged well, but the 2nd and third were actually really deep and varied platformers. Anyway, the point was that UC2 is IMO...
