My take on Rise of the Tomb Raider after the Gamescom demo

I liked the reboot game. But it lacked something compared to Lara's long lost American cousin Nate Drake. I quite like re-playing Uncharted. But with TR 2013 once I finished the game I put it down and have not for a moment felt like running through it a second time.

We are two sides of the same coin.  I bought all three Uncharted games (four if you count the Vita).  Only gave the first a second look after the trophy patch and couldn't finish the museum of the second game.  Showed of the graphics to Uncharted 3 to my mom (she thought it was a movie!) but never felt compelled to play any of them a second time.  Meanwhile, I bought and replayed Tomb Raider on 360 (day one), PS4 (day one--it's why I bought the console!), and PS3 (PS+).

 

Not as acclaimed as Uncharted but I love it much more.  Search my Trophy Achievements, Luke. You know it to be true!  Heck, I started playing DE on PS4 about a month ago and some Vgchartz guy (PSN name was Legendary Look) began sending me all kinds of messages via PSN calling me dumb for liking Tomb Raider.  He said U4 would be the last Uncharted so "who will Tomb Raider steal from, then? ". My head exploded.

Apparently, from The Last of Us :P They didn't have to go that far! ^^

EDIT : More seriously, what I want them to learn from TLOU is the archery. I'm an archer, so I always use the bow when it's available, and it's the first time a bow felt so wrong. In TR, it's like a gun with arrows, but not a bow at all. The feel, the trajectory, the sound, everything is off about it. They should use TLOU's bow as an example (even the TF2 bow is miles ahead..).
