Love a bigger world to explore and even more puzzles. Those are two of the bigger things that set the reboot apart from Uncharted.

True, but I don't have a lot of faith in the developers after the reboot.
- Bigger tombs to explore with multiple puzzle solving moments
That's what I read, multiple puzzle solving 'moments' That does not sound like the tombs are the main part of this game.

Yet it's not Tombraider. The controls in the old TR games fit the gameplay perfectly. It was about puzzle solving and precision acrobatics to navigate the environment. Count out the steps needed backwards to perform the right sequence of jumps, after you figure out where you can get to.  The new games are simply flicking the stick in the right direction and the game will do it for you. I'm not saying the old game were perfect, yet it's swung so far in the other direction that the platforming and path finding challenge is completely gone.

The background of the old games was a lot more interesting than what they dumbed it down to. Slowly becomes a bad ass? She's an experienced full psychotic serial killer right from her first kill. You have to kill more people in the reboot than in the classic TR games combined, it becomes a comedy after a while. Sorry I could not relate to the character at all. FC3 did a much better job at the exact same thing while not being serious. It had bigger tombs to explore too...

I had high hopes for a reboot after Tombraider Anniversary. Great balance between old and new. Yet instead it turned into a cross between Far cry 3 and Uncharted.

Reading some of these comments is like seeing someone tell George Lucas that he doesn't know what Star Wars is.

We may or may not like the direction the series has taken (personally, I love it!) but we can't say what is our isn't Tomb Raider. I've owned every single game in the franchise except the paper games and the last Arcade game and I like this current iteration of Tomb Raider.

Then again, I also owned every Resident Evil and I'm glad it changed direction, too....

I don't understand your first sentence. Core Design were the original developers of the games, not Crystal Dynamics.

True. But they were with Eidos.  Core's direction led to the series continual decline and eventual got they booted n favor of Crystal Dynamics.  Remember Angel of Darkness?

My point was that we fans seem to think we know better than the game's makers.  The franchise had to change.  We can all have our opinions and that's cool but by TR III, the franchise was already failing critically and sales continually fell after TLR ( I think)

As VGPolyglot said, Core created TR, not CD. And 9 games prior to Reboot define what TR is...even though there were Core vs CD fans' arguments, at least 3 CD games prior to Reboot were mostly true to the basic principles of TR.

Reboot has nothing to do with TR, but a name. If they went with some other name and different character (let's say 'Psycho Killer' starring Moana Daft), I wouldn't give a damn, but TR and Lara Croft names were just (ab)used due to their popularity.

Fair enough. Hopefully the new TR is more in line with what you think the franchise should be.  I tolerated the games before CD but after TR Legend, I feel in love with the franchise. I guess they can't please everybody.

Looks great, but I'm still a lot more impressed with ND's work on the new character models in Uncharted 4. She doesn't look like a person who survived the events of the first game. She still looks like a hot bombshell college student who has to experience anything, i.e. baby smooth skin, porcelain appearance, no scars, etc.

But she probably stinks, though.....
