I want to like it. I really do.. but it just disappoints me so much. I don't understand how it got high scores.
-The graphics look like something on ps3. Low res textures, jaggies, bland colors, etc. like the game wasn't optimized. It's like they focused all their attention on Lara's hair and nothing else. The animations look so amateurish too.. like they weren't motion captured.
-The music is just horrible. I don't get any feeling of suspense or mystery with generic nonsense playing in the background that interferes with the even more horrible voice acting. It's like amateur night at the local theater.
-The AI is just stupid. Enemies would stand out of cover and wait for you to aim at their heads without making any effort to move.
-The level up and crafting system is exactly the same as the previous game (with maybe more recipes and materials) and gathering stuff feels like a chore. Everything is so generic and no effort was made to make it look interesting.
-The game's internal logic makes no sense. Lara needs to gather stuff to make weapons while the guys she kills have guns.. why can't she just pick them up? Oh no, I have to assemble gun parts when I just killed a guy with a machine gun.. and whats with the random tape recordings the bad guy just happens to leave everywhere to reveal his plot? Why would he do such a thing?
The only saving grace is possibly the story but so far it's just getting hard to keep playing the game.
