Yeah and that's it. Cover-based 3rd person shooter would not translate as well as TR did to this format without losing alot of what makes people like the game.kai3345 said:hey now

Amir0x said:There is this one co-op puzzle late in the game that I just wish I could describe here without spoiling one of the games best moments. It involves lots of lava and flaming raptors or some shit, and when I figured out the solution (and then pulled it off) the entire time all I could do was sit in the corner and giggle to myself like some hyper school girl saying "holy fuck THAT IS THE COOLEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN A GAME. EVER."
Shit like that is why this game is a masterpiece.
Amir0x said:one co-op puzzle in particular is one which I consider the greatest single puzzle this generation, and one of the best of all time
it's not that it's incredibly difficult, it's that it's an expression of pure joy, the cleverness of it all would blow anyone away. If only for that specific puzzle, I hope everyone tries co-op through once.
Amir0x said:you know how cynical I am, brandonh83. At first, me and my brother in law couldn't immediately figure out the solution. But we got what we had to do in under a minute. It was the execution that had me giggling like some overgrown school girl. It was so clever, so absolutely amazingly fun to actually do, that I still can't stop thinking about it. The entire game is super fun and despite the easiness of it mostly all the puzzles have that clever whip to it, but this puzzle specifically was just outrageously awesome.
Amir0x said:That room in solo also has a puzzle, but it is significantly different and is nowhere near as clever as this one. And it'd be impossible to match the cleverness of it alone, trust me. The amazing joy you get it from it is completely dependent on the puzzle being done cooperatively. It's not something that could even be done alone. Even if you hate co-op play, I can't imagine you wouldn't at least admire what they achieved with it.
It literally is on par with anything Nintendo has done, imo. I mean that as the highest compliment.
Amir0x said:Without spoiling anything with how it's done, it involves lots of lava, flaming raptors, flaming floors, flaming borders all the while you or your partners life is completely dependent on what the other person is doing for success or DEATH

Galanthas said:That's great news! Also, it seems some are already cheating on the PC leaderboards. Unless that is a tester cheating heh. Hopefully you guys are diligent in removing cheaters from the boards.

ThirstyFly said:Man, I was really looking forward to this, but now that I hear that the there's no date for the PS3 online patch (I thought it was going to ship online for PS3/PC) and PS3 has framerate issues, I'm torn. Guess I'll have to wait to try the demo on Tuesday to decide, but I probably won't bite until the patch is out. I am sad
So just to make sure I understand...the reason some people can play the whole game is that GameSpot gave out some Steam unlock code for the whole game, giving the game away for free, to a few lucky people until they fixed the glitch?Stallion Free said:Fuck, this game looks so good on PC. I love the Underworld engine. The lava levels look spectacular.Downsampled from 1080p/8xAA.
There were no issues with the Steam version. If you have a demo key, then you can buy the full game now and it will unlock immediately. No need to wait until the 28th. I don't know if Gamespot is still giving out keys for the Steam version, but here's the link:Blizzard said:So just to make sure I understand...the reason some people can play the whole game is that GameSpot gave out some Steam unlock code for the whole game, giving the game away for free, to a few lucky people until they fixed the glitch?
If there's some legal way for me to play the game that'd be nice. I'm stuck waiting for the Steam unlock. ;_;
What I mean is, I already preordered the game, and I'm waiting for the unlock on Steam. If I get a demo code, it will unlock my FULL game? That's kinda weird. :/Gribbix said:There were no issues with the Steam version. If you have a demo key, then you can buy the full game now and it will unlock immediately.

You understand completely wrong, you are thinking of the PS3 version. I fucking love Crystal Dynamics and have double dipped on 2/3 of their Tomb Raiders and would never exploit shit to get a game of their's for free.Blizzard said:So just to make sure I understand...the reason some people can play the whole game is that GameSpot gave out some Steam unlock code for the whole game, giving the game away for free, to a few lucky people until they fixed the glitch?

Yep. Since you've already pre-purchased it, you can input a demo key and it'll unlock the full game. It's not a glitch:Blizzard said:What I mean is, I already preordered the game, and I'm waiting for the unlock on Steam. If I get a demo code, it will unlock my FULL game? That's kinda weird. :/
Sign up now to reserve your key for the Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light early access PC Demo. Following the demo you will be given access to purchase Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light and play prior to the official release!
Well if you did get the game for free I wouldn't blame you, since it's just a fault of the distributor, presumably. I am sorry if my comment was offensive. I just didn't understand about the demo early access thing, I'll have to see if they are still giving codes now.Stallion Free said:You understand completely wrong, you are thinking of the PS3 version.

Uh I supported them by getting the demo so that I could pre-order the game as soon as possible as that's where pre-order first became available.Blizzard said:It just seemed funny to me that people who got special access to the DEMO got to play the full game, but people who had already decided to buy the full game to support Crytal Dynamics etc. don't get to play it until the official release date.
I didn't know when preorder first became available since I was out of the loop, so I just preordered it on Steam. ;_;Stallion Free said:Uh I supported them by getting the demo so that I could pre-order the game as soon as possible as that's where pre-order first became available.
Yup, I had it preordered and it just unlocked it for me! Woooo!Gribbix said:Yep. Since you've already pre-purchased it, you can input a demo key and it'll unlock the full game. It's not a glitch:
Watch any video of it you can find. This is not a Tomb Raider game. It's an isometric action puzzle game.genjiZERO said:so I got a question. I haven't played a Tomb Raider since TR3 which I though was pretty crap. I really loved TR1 (and to a slightly lesser extent) 2. What I liked about those two games was the sense of vast emptiness. I really liked that the fighting was fairly sparse. Actually, I had "ethical" problems with the fighting because I always thought it was fucked up that you were killing all of these animals - most of which were endangered, believed extinct, or undiscovered - just to you could obtain some artifact. But I digress. Anyway, my question is: does this latest iteration have that same sense of exploring empty vaulted tombs or does it eschew this in favour of action and fighting?

I'm having the same problems and had the same problems with Underworld. The engine just isn't optimized for PS3 AT ALL.TheSeks said:Explains the framerate on the PS3 verison. Not that the PS3 version of Underworld is a bad port, but man the framerate/stutters is a bit hit/miss. Maybe it's my copy of the game, though. :/

That's not just 'it', but I'd rather not go there. Important thing is that this plays nothing like a typical Tomb Raider either. There tons and tons of shooting here, and the best part of it, the co-op, has never even been in the series. If anything, this gave them ability to diversify gameplay a bit in ways they normally wouldn't do. Nothing should be stopping other games from trying the same.Stallion Free said:Yeah and that's it.

The core of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is the puzzles and platforming. It's the core of any Tomb Raider game as well. They can drop the Tomb Raider from the title if they want, but it is still distinctly a Tomb Raider game.Lord Error said:That's not just 'it', but I'd rather not go there.

SenorDingDong said:Well that's frustrating. I can't progress beyond a certain stage in the first level as it continually crashes as I scale the final wall in the scene where multiple platforms push out just after a spike pit.
