Honestly I find sex sells harder to believe nowadays. In the late 90s it was one thing, but nowadays porn is everywhere. Buying a game to ogle a clothed character is a way worse deal than spending 20 seconds on the internet.

Here is a fact for you! I only play it because I am hopelessly in love with my darling gorgeous sweetheart and the greatest video game character ever!

The gunplay and exploration is cool and all but I have zero interest in archology and if her creator Toby Guard had made her male like he was originally going to do I wouldn't be anywhere near the franchise.

Hopefully this means we're getting the real Tomb Raider back. A true return to dangerous and precise platforming, labyrinthine level design, isolation and creepy atmosphere, a strong Lara Croft, awesome memorable music.

The Survivor trilogy just tossed all that out the window in favour of generic, modern day gaming trends.

Didnt they say one time that they needed Tomb Raider to sell like 8 million copies to meet expectations?

I found those game frustrating back in the day. I wanted to finish TR2 but got stuck at some part in Venice I believe and absolutely could not figure it out. Wasn't about buying a strategy guide just for that and had no internet so gave up.

A breath of fresh air honestly. The three remastered games are not dumbed down, devoid of life, and boring.

This poster summed it up perfectly:

They won't, because they don't own the franchise or Crystal Dynamics anymore. Embracer Group bought it off them 2 years ago

That one is a remake tho, not remaster.
And before we got the squeenix reboot, there's an attempt on soft reboot which not titled Tomb Raider, but Lara Croft series.

Don't think I played one since TR3 on the PS1.

Also, is this the start of a trend of reporting game success in $?

This means nothing to me now (some people pay full price $70, some people get it in the bargain bin). It will mean even less 5 years from now with all the inflation.

I'm not an investor. Just tell me how many copies you sold.

i been playing it and the modern controls could have been better, specially when it comes to aiming and shooting.

still an improvement over those goddamn tank controls...

the camera can be a real bitch tho. doesnt sync well in tight places.

If there was a game with literally just the tomb puzzles, I'd get it.
