The reboot was Unchartified, and I hate uncharted games. I haven't played the sequel and I don't intend to.
Tomb Raider was its own thing, the original triology had such a great impact on me as a gamer. The reboot was definitely not what I wanted or expected. People seem to have forgetton how huge those games were, on hardware with extremely limited power. I expected the original ideas to be improve and expanded, but I got a linear game that pretends to be not so linear, handholding, popups telling me there a SECRET Tomb close to where I am standing, and mainly a third person shooter.
Here is a reminder of the original TR games:
People used to argue that the original Uncharted is another Tomb Raider with a male character, they couldn't be more wrong. The only similarity was the similar environment..... until the reboot happened.
Yeah..... Tomb Raider sucked (in my opinion) back then. I can't deny it. I bought them all. It was the definition on an annual game that lacked polish. Of the originals, I only really enjoyed 1, 2, and TLR but I'm not even sure i enjoyed them . I just forced my way through them. Angel of Darkness was the nail in the coffin.
I jumped for joy when Tomb Raider Legend came out. That was "Tomb Raider Unchartified" in my opinion and it came out BEFORE Uncharted! Bought it and 100% it for PS2, Xbox 360, and PSP.
Not condescending to those who liked the reboot. More power to you.
I, however, didn't like it, nothing original about them that grabbed me, and I don't like the Uncharted games. Arrow + X and Nathan makes super cool pseudodangerous jump! Phew, he made it! ...Barf.
