I pre-ordered this simply because this Lara is so damn beautiful! Doesn't hurt that the gameplay looks pretty great too. Like Angelus said, it'll be difficult to balance playtime between Fallout4, Fifa16, Gears and this..

Every game on PC with an archer is a big plus in my book.


As an archer, I have to say that what she uses is not a bow. It's an arrow-shooting rifle or something like that, but nothing close to the physics, sounds or feeling of a bow. At least that was the case in the first one, and the footages for this one show the same thing. Other games have done a way better job with the bow (even the bow in TF2 is a masterpiece compared to this one). And now that I've watched the last gameplay video again, I can challenge anyone to shoot like her and hit something ^^ (hint : with her position, you can see the string going through her chest, no need to talk about anything else....). It really shocked me when I played the reboot (I love bows in video games too!), I can't forgive them about this. 

 

(That will be the only subject I'll be discussing in this thread, I already said in others what I think about the game ;)  ) 

A bent stick with a string sure looks like a bow to me.

And now shut up. We don't get many archers in games so I'll take what I can get.

Sorry... But the bent stick on this picture can't work as a bow :P The string (or do you say "cord" in english?) is way, way, way too long and the stick not bent enough. You can't fire anything with that thing, not even further than your own feet :P

 

Yeah, yeah, I'll shut up, I know we don't have enough archers in games ^^. But it would still be better IMO if the archers we get were good though....

I was kinda hopping/expecting/wanting her to be prepared this time around, maybe use a carbon fiber professional bow and stuf, but it seens shell use a makeshift "bow" yet again.
