Not sure what you're going on about there with Batman and Infamous and Dante and God of War. I am strictly talking about Uncharted fans seemingly being hell bent on letting everyone know their opinion that Tomb Raider is just an Uncharted clone and nothing special. As if Uncharted created the genre or something.

Fact of the matter is you can list many different games that Tomb Raider has elements of. Resident Evil 4. Zelda. Far Cry 3. The Batman games of this gen. And yes, Uncharted. Much like Uncharted itself has bits of pieces of many other games as well. I mean.. you're talking in this thread about how the game plays and feels and all you have done is watch someone play bits and pieces. Come on. It's ok for the game to get praise and for people to like it more than Uncharted. Just enjoy an awesome game. Or I guess enjoy watching your friend play an awesome game.

By the way part of me wonders how annoyed your friend must have been as you probably constantly commented over his shoulder how such and such animation or such and such gameplay element or such and such setting is an Uncharted rip off. Poor friend :p

I think you know exactly where I am going with this. When games are similar they are compared to other games. There are people with PS3 who might not like Uncharted but a lot of people do, but compared to the 360 when it comes to action/adventure games with different themes the PS3 just has more titles and competitive IP's at that. When Prototype came out people with only 360's were acting like it was the only Superhero game in town but InFamous also came and so did batman and both of those games were far more balanced. A base for comparison always makes the gamer more educated as to what works in a style of game. When I alluded to the Angry Gamer Show I was talking about his amazement with Tomb Raider. Many people who responded to him said," if you think what Tomb Raider did was new you need to seriously play Uncharted". Its basically Uncharted with a more open world, but can't be classified as an open world TPS. 

My Roommate and I had a convo about it, but we both know Drake and Lara are two different characters with different mentalities and aspirations. We discussed the similarities even though and he loved the game though. The only Uncharted he's played though was three because he doesn't own a PS3 or 360, so if he wants to see those games he just either plays or watches me on my consoles. 

I know exactly where you're taking it, into some pro-PS3 tangent. Just not sure what the relevance is. What do Infamous or Batman or Dante have to do with Uncharted fanboys and their reactions to the praise being heaped upon Tomb Raider? I mean you made this thread without having even played the game. You can think both games are great in their own ways, just so you know.Maybe you want to quote the guy I was replying to. He is the one who talked about Sony fans vs non-Sony fans. I am talking about the reaction of Uncharted fans. You can be a PS3 owner and have played all those off-topic games you're referencing and still not be an Uncharted fan and still enjoy Tomb Raider.
