You sure?  I doubt it's that cheap yet. 

It was definitely 5 bucks last week. This past Friday was a Flash Sale that had every game under 5 dollars. Tomb Raider: Definitive Version was one of those games. I should know....I bought it. :)

That's TR2013 not ROTTR.  And I got it free with ps plus on ps3. It was decent but not anything special.  Nothing compared to uncharted for example. I've no motivation to spend more than $10 on a game from this series.

Right! That's what I said. That was the one that was on the Flash Sale. The very first Tomb Raider that rebooted. I got it for free on PS3 a few years ago. I also got it for free on GWG (Definitive version) on Xbox One. I didn't finish the entire game because it didn't grasp me. However, I see the appeal as to why others enjoy it though. Maybe I might revisit the game once there's a drought in releases.

It's funny that all people can defend about the game is the graphics. Well yeah coz everything else is impossible to defend.

Its because you begin your rant calling the graphics PS3 last gen like.  From there your credibility shot way down so most people probably did not read the whole thing.  When all is said and done its just your opinion.  Hell, I know a lot of people who loved Uncharted 3 but I thought it was very boring and it was very hard for me to finish.  In the end, its just my opinion and I really do not need any justification for it.  Maybe you should be comfortable in your own view then searching for approval from others.

I disagree but I'll respect you guy's opinions. There's enough RottR praise threads going around. And above any thread is my own opinion.



foodfather on 27 January 2017

Couldn't disagree more.

ROTR is one of the most perfect games released this gen. It's the ultimate adventure experience.

My only gripe is the ott voice acting of Lara and Thr story could be stronger, but everything is best in its class.

I just finished it on PS4, and also agree. Everything about this game is mediocre. I give it a weak 7. How people were comparing it to Uncharted 4?

I'm seeing comparable user scores on Metacritic

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.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but when it's one that can easily be challenged, that is where I step in:

Graphics.....

Bad?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No. Among other things, the graphics were an extremely high point for this title.

Not everyone has Octocore processors and 5 titans like you do to play the game and make it look like that :P

I disagree.

I wasn't a big fan of the reboot, but what I've played of Rise of the Tomb Raider has been better in almost every way. Graphics are stunning on PS4 Pro.



HEMSTAR on 28 January 2017

I agree with some of the things you are saying but the graphics on the game are good, they definitely don't look last gen. I guess you're comparing it to Uncharted though which really beats this game in every area. I just finished it a couple of weeks ago and overall it was a good game but nowhere near Uncharted.

Stopped reading there. Knew it was a troll thread just by that comment.
