/vr/ - Retro Games

>>10763057
why people play precision platformers? do you guys actually having fun?

>>10763290
Platforming in Tomb Raider is just cozy af. Every missed jump is completely your own fault, and there's a real feeling of suspense when you're hanging on a ledge above a huge drop and if you let go of X you're dead. There are literally zero other games that do these things the way Tomb Raider did, not even the later games in the same series.

>>10763329
The game "Jusant" does something similar. Not /vr/ however

>>10763290
Basically it's about exploration and traversal as a puzzle/mechanic. Very exhilarating.

>>10763410
Funny I was just thinking of Jusant (and climbing games) a few minutes ago while playing. Really want more games that nail this kind of feeling.

I didn't realize how retarded the avalanche cave in Tibetan Foothills actually was.
>get ambushed by a faggot with a skidoo gun
>once you get the skidoo gun for yourself, most people would naturally switch over
>it's actually a trap because it's impossible to backtrack to the cabin with it
Why the fuck would they design it like this

>>10763437
also not /vr/ but check out Peaks of Yore

>>10764714
Damn that looks cool, wish I could run it

>>10763620
Why do you need the gun? You can just run the goons over.

>>10763290
It's the exploration that's engaging for me. The precision platforming is just a means to an end.

>>10763057
has it occurred to you you don’t actually need a 24/7 general about this

>>10765045
but how will he earn his shilling shekels if not

>>10764748
It's the idea of introducing a neat toy to the player, only for it to be completely useless in reaching the next area. Don't get the point.

>>10765045
When /ksg/ still exists, I think any game deserves a general

>>10765045
has it occured to you that maybe you should be throwing a tantrum about the many various other threads on /v/ that aren't even about videogames instead of whining people DARE to keep discussing videogames in this vile cesspit of a board?

>>10765045
Tomb Raider has a wild amount of custom levels, with new ones uploaded weekly. You can never run out of classic TR. Someone uploaded a level today about the VCI Labs https://trcustoms.org/levels

>>10764748
you use the evil skidoo later in the level to shoot the two skidooers down

everyone should watch these they are really helpful for speeding up your play. the walk to running jump tip has changed my play a lot

>>10765090
Thanks for this. I'll save these for when I start achievement hunting since I like figuring things out as I go during first playthroughs

>>10765090
I'm watching this Finnish speedrunner, who supposedly holds some world records, doing his first blind playthrough of Sabatu and it's infuriating because on one hand he's just breezing through the difficult jumps and avoiding split second traps like they're nothing but on the other hand he gets completely destroyed by basic puzzles he doesn't already know, instead of just slowing down and paying attention he's just stubbornly trying to brute force them like a complete retard, even his chat kept calling him out. Speedrunner brainrot is so odd.

>>10763057
Fellas, please save me two hours of browsing the archive and tell me, now that the remasters are out, what is the definitive version of these games to play?
At some point this board convinced me to download some Polish release of these games on PC, but I also remember lots of people saying the PS1 version on an emulator is the way to do it, since it's the only version with proper water effects or something?

Also, controller or keyboard?

>>10765371
Once Remastered is patched, probably that one. Until then: TR1X, TR2Main, TOMB3, TOMB3, TOMB5 gives you the most content, but not every PlayStation specific effect is always ported over, though most usually are. The TR1X guy is also working on TR2X, so there's that as well.

>>10765450
What's the deal with the patch. I kept seeing mentions on /v/.
And thanks for the tip.

>>10765482
Long story short, deadlines meant that certain graphical affects weren't finished for system wide release. Epic store version accidentally shipped with an in progress patch which should be released this month. You can find epic vs steam videos on YouTube to see the difference. They're pretty substantial in places such as showing moving water and fixing lighting issues.

>>10765572
Oh, but that's just for the remade graphics, right? I kind of prefer the old look, so I wanted to play with that turned on.

>>10765628
You can do that as well if you want to go straight in. Classic is fine.

>>10765635
What about controls? IS gamepad mostly better?

>>10765648
Remastered features the PlayStation quick switch shortcuts so as good as PlayStation there. Also some moves from 2 and 3 got back ported, but those are on fan ports as well. If you want no nonsense, the remastered will likely be the definitive versions in the end.

>>10765229
I swear, Sabatu's levels are all better than the originals, but the first section in Peru, the complete overhaul on those levels is just beyond amazing.

>>10765989
100%, Peru benefits the most and I want even more, such a joy to rediscover it like this, it gives me such a TR3 India/SP vibe. Peru is more outdoorsy so it's quite suitable to opening it up and the original was still tutorial mode so it had a lot of unexplored potential, whereas by comparison Greece already had bold level design concepts and remain more indoorsy so less room for him to go nuts, so it's more about finding ways to twist them up rather than fully reinventing them.

>>10765229
Yeah, they aren't built to think on the fly, they just memorize. Just think back to what happened to Cosmo.

>>10763290
>do you guys actually having fun?
No anon, we play it because it's bad and we're not having fun.

It's so over without the buddyposter

>>10767405
am I really that important? you guys can continue making the threads without me, I know you can

>>10767581
the only reason I didn't make a thread today on /v/ was to observe how much traffic this general receives

I just reached the Lost Library, how far am I in TR4? 1/3?

I never heard of this source port. Is it better than openlara?

>>10767786
Yes, open Lara just gained more traction because of the GBA port.

>>10767732
Lost Library is around the halfway point in TR4

>>10763057
I own a GOG version of the TR games. How do I apply the nude patch?

>>10769292
Holy shit does this work?

>>10769292
The Mother 3 info was the actual joke.

>>10763329
Nailed it. The locations are also usually gorgeous. It's not just abstract shit like in Mario. They tried to make it look like real places at least somewhat.

It's a comfy series in general, at least the old school ones. Climbing, shooting at rare animals and stealing valuable artifacts from niggers. Whats not to like?

>>10765080
Holy shit, that's a lot of levels

>>10767584
I like this place more desu, /v/ was just too many idiots trying to troll and annoy people who just wanted to talk about TR1-6

i'm not even halfway through yet the lost library is my least favourite stage in any tomb raider already. complete cancer

>>10770246
how the fuck was i supposed to know this? maybe the forced tutorial could have taught this?? fuck this game

>>10769913
That's the power of a good and simple level editor

does anyone else find the wording "modern controls" disrespectful? as if the original ones be "dated"? it should be renamed free movement. hell, map "modern" controls to the analogue stick and the original to the d pad instead of putting it in the menu.

Was annoyed by how hard it is to see pickups in the remaster, went back to play the OGs while waiting for the patch and now I see even Core made the same mistake with TR3 when they 'upgraded' the graphics engine, pretty funny. At least you have flares.

>>10770801
Modern controls also does silly things like making crouch and sprint toggles. I don't get it.

>>10770890
For some reason the ps1 game didn't show the items you picked up in the corner. The demo for 3 still had it.
Also TR2 also had hard to see items on purpose which the remaster made visible.

>>10765229
To be fair they do blindsight on occasion

https://support.aspyr.com/hc/en-us/articles/24938284088845-Tomb-Raider-I-III-Remastered-Update-1-Patch-Notes

it's up

https://support.aspyr.com/hc/en-us/articles/24938284088845-Tomb-Raider-I-III-Remastered-Update-1-Patch-Notes

>>10770801
Yeah, a hybrid mode like that would be great. I want fluid controls on analog stick, but keep precision on dpad.

>>10770968
>still no level select
>HD textures for the shotgun in TR3 are still the generic pump action with wooden furniture

Unplayable garbage-trash.

>>10770801
Do you even know what modern means?

TR4: PC or duckstation and why?

>>10771613
PC, simply because of the loading times.

>>10771613
TOMB4 on for the exclusive expansion.

>>10771623
I dont really mind that

>>10771632
isn't that just a shitty level? not even made by phil, right?

I should have asked: which is best in terms of atmosphere and lighting, because 3 is better on PS1

who designed the times?

>>10771636
TOMB3 and TOMB4 seem pretty close to PlayStation. Sorry for the random Polish man.
https://youtu.be/y9xda99RrhI
https://youtu.be/70fOAqZeEyk

>>10771636
>isn't that just a shitty level? not even made by phil, right?

It's actually better than most of the levels in the full game.

>>10771807
Eh, close enough.

>>10771810
Duck has some flickering texture and some warping here and there even with PGXP
PC still has shit draw distance of PS1 for some reason
PC skybox in the last screen also looks worse in-game
Duck has better contrast even if lighting looks more crude, PC looks washed out
Duck has some cropped borders because it uses a custom aspect ratio
PC probably faster loading into cutscenes

>>10771825
Emulation also incurs a bit of input lag, so that's also a factor.

>>10771967
I'm really bummed out, I can't decide which version to choose. PC definitely feels smoother to play but I prefer PS1 visuals.

>>10763290
You should learn English before questioning other people. This post is abhorrent.

>>10771990
The tomb4main patch fixes bugs and add visuals from the psx version.

>>10772270
That's what I'm using in those screenshots. It doesn't change the lighting. It just has some minor tweaks like making Lara's shadow or the HUD more PS1-like.

Just needed to turn off "volumetric fx" in the setup launcher.

the point i couldn't kill the turret and had to look in a guide and find out that only the revolver can kill them and not the crossbow was the moment i gave up on trying to do the game walkthroughless

idk why I have shitload of aliasing in TR4 but none in TR3
only way to get rid of it in TR4 is enabling filtering but it looks like ass

>>10773345
What are you using to play 4?

>>10773357
tomb4 in op + tried dgvoodoo and reshade

>>10773360
You can't force msaa?

>>10770968
Modern controls seem usable now.
They certainly make the combat centric sections in Unfinished Business decently fun. And you know what, even the platforming has become exciting again, since the level design isn't Sabatu tier at all.

>>10773363
forced msaa 8x in dgv but still looks bad in-game
oh well, "lookin' good"

>>10773345
Why not use virtual super resolution and play at 8k or whatever?

why has seemingly half of tr4 levels game-breaking bugs? in poseidon temple the pit didn't flood when i had placed the tridents, i had to look up a guide which told me to kill the skeletons of the level to fix it. jesus

So now that Saber is splitting from Embracer, and Aspyr realised a shit remaster of Battlefront 1/2, does our girl Lara still have a chance at 4-AoD Remaster?

>>10775220
Who knows, the remasters are not off the table still. The Saber CEO had said that they will be working closely with Aspyr on some "current and upcoming" projects. Whatever that means. Also, allegedly (the source is TR Forums, so they might be biased), the Embracer CEO is quite satisfied with how the remasters turned out, both in terms of sales and general buzz.

buy it again guys

>>10775407
I bought it 3 times already. What more do you want?

I'm starting Chronicles today. What am I in for? I heard it's short and easy and the settings, Ireland, Rome and Russia look fun. It can't be THAT bad?

>>10775474
You'll probably get bored, then ragequit when you run into a game-breaking bug in the VCI levels. I suggest looking up where to safely save before starting the final level, and find someone's backup save just in case.

>>10775474
It's a glorified expansion pack for TR4. Very short, quite half-assed, buggy and kinda tonally inconsistent. There are some decent ideas (Ireland and Russia are cool, I guess), but some other ideas (stealth sections and what not) are fucking abysmal.
It has this "just shove it out of the door" feel to it.

>>10775474
she said "If I was you", it's WERE. they already botched her character, she's supposed to speak like an educated woman

how are you supposed to defeat the gargoyle heads in trajan markets? i used all my revolver shots, nothing happened, i reloaded and placed the two circles while using medpacks and got through

>>10771807
Duckstation version has no volumetric fog effects.

>>10771805

The boss? Just shoot it until it dies

>>10775868
>>10772309
Yeah I got it, thanks. Didn't realize because you can only disable it via the setup (need to launch the exe by adding "-setup"), but not in in-game settings. I'll redo comparison screenshots later maybe.

The volumetric effects look terrible.

>>10775878
>The volumetric effects look terrible.
They don't, but feel free to use whatever cope you need to pretend the PS1 version is completely superior. Because, as we all know, there's around 3 screenshots that objectively look better than the PS1 version simply because of the volumetric effects, such as:
>hallway with the tree trunk and hole in ceiling
>pool area with statue spitting water
>swimming in the cramped corridor

>>10775883

you can play as lara on a wheelchair on pc, so that wins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=805vzo8OZGo

>>10775915
The PS1 version is garbage, just play on PC

i just beat gallow's tree, will beat the rest tomorrow. so far chronicles is a great game. i don't get the hate at all. it's comfy

>VCI headquarters
more like Red Text Alert lmao

>>10779027
>clusterfuck of backtracking

palace of midas is regarded as one of the best levels ever and has a ton of backtracking for players who don't know or forgot the sequence. both the levels in the submarine are fun as hell.

>>10779027
Rome is fine but too short. It's over before you even realize it. I agree with the others though, and despise vent crawling outside of stealth games.

>>10777704
>I've asked GOG for a refund since I could not agree to the legal agreement that the game tries to force onto you before it even lets you get to the menu. I can't agree to it. The developer wants you to waive all your rights and have a say in how you do or don't mod or use the game.

>For a DRM free release this is completely unacceptable, and you cannot use the game unless you agree.

lol. I will say one thing, though. The EULA should probably be put up for the purchaser to read before they decide to buy, especially if it's saying what I think that user's implying.

>>10778870
/vg/ is really gay and weeb, /vr/ has retro autists who sometimes post cool TR stuff

woah the patch did THIS???
it's like a whole new game

>he's still here
Are you paid by CD or what?

this level lived up to the hype of sabatu fr fr. beautiful and decently challenging, although i got through without using a medpack. but i only have three small ones right now

you know you're stuck when you keep finding secrets instead of progressing the level

>>10780975
>deaths 2
damn gg

If Lara Croft were such a huge cultural icon in the 90s more known than the Pope, how come the Simpsons never had a reference to her? Was she only a star in Europe?

>TR2 has too much bullshit combat
>TR1 Unifinished Business: Hold My Beer
Should I skip?

>>10781142
The Simpsons were about American culture first and foremost.

Finally beat Peru. I only used one medpack and have like fifteen small ones and five big ones, but I saved a little over a hundred times. Yeah...

Can't wait to continue tomorrow.

>>10781351
You should skip, leap and jump through the obstacles through those two amazing Tomb Raider experiences

>>10763057

I died way more than you lol
I'm clumsy and easily lose patience so a lot of stupid deaths
how "experienced" are you?

>>10780657
I'm also waiting for good old downloads patch and I'm growing impatient
maybe it has something to do with the fact that the patch is basically the weight of the whole game

>>10781638
i died a lot of times too but i always reload before the death is recorded

I'm getting annoyed by the lack of soul in the visuals. If it wasn't for 120 fps I would just stick to original.

>>10777762
>>10777779
Replaying Chronicles, I genuinly enjoyed Ireland and Russia.

>>10781810
how do you find the patched modern controls?

>>10781351
Give it a shot, but if it wrecks your flow skip it and come back later. It is rather short.

>>10781823
Enjoyable. Combat is much better and platforming is a nice change of pace. I like zooming around, not overly relying on the backstep method.

I have a lot of reservations about TR3 so far, but this was kino

>>10781351
The Atlantis portion of UB is more combat heavy, worth pushing through for Temple of the Cat.

I'm not too happy about this fucking room. Silently opening a door after picking up a specific shotgun shell? Savescumming me got stuck for 10 minutes before looking it up.
>>10782482
>>10781824
fine I'll do it

>>10783025
what kind of psychopath doesn't pick up everything he sees before thinking?

>>10783118
The whole level has been teaching you to not pick up 2 shells, because you will use 3 and a medkit.
I still finished the Atlanta section with 2k uzi ammo and 75 shotgun shells which have been taken away from me for egypt.
I'm annoyed.

Can you get the no medkit achievement with New Game+? I'm planning to do a masochist run at some point.

>>10783160
If you didn't play through new game + with no medkits, pistols only, and no saving, you didn't beat the game.

i managed to do sabatu guideless until the beginning of francis folly. then i walked around for like half an hour and thought that the game was bugged, until i looked up a video and saw i was supposed to walk on the pillars that had a circle texture underneath. god i hate myself

>>10783213
Same here anon, don't feel bad. It's very awkwardly designed. You're supposed to recognize the sound but it's not obvious at all and it's goofy logic.

>>10783219
but footi figured it out instantly. at least he was stuck for 13 minutes trying to find the passage in the wall

>>10783219
I thought it had something to do with the cracks in the floor and jumped onto them in different orders.
In hindsight it's a good puzzle

this HAS to be a bug. i refuse to accept he put a fucking floating pushable block in the game.

>>10783353
Sabutu's level tend to be buggy at occasions, this one didn't happen for me

>>10783364
i loaded an earlier save, unlocked the door again and the block is still glitched. how do i activate moonjump?

>>10783396
Open the TR1X.json5 and enable cheats.
I just skipped the level.

>>10783407
i activated the fly cheat, how do i get back on the ground??

>>10783426
never mind just pressed the walk button. now i can play the game again!

>>10783426
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxLim2LLwJY
how do you fly?

>>10783353
I posted about this earlier yeah it's a bug, use fly cheat

>>10783432
how are you supposed to do this jump? i tried the blue one for like five minutes until i gave up, then i managed to do the red one by not holding jump whilst running, but pressing it at the latest moment instead, did i discover a trick?
>>10783431
i typed D O whilst having enabled cheats

>>10783469
>how are you supposed to do this jump? i tried the blue one for like five minutes until i gave up, then i managed to do the red one by not holding jump whilst running, but pressing it at the latest moment instead, did i discover a trick?
I did the red one, but I don't know what you mean by "discover a trick", jumping at the very last step is a pretty common move and there are earlier jumps that require the same logic, no?

>typed D O
What is "D O" supposed to be? I just took a guess and typed "fly" in the command and it worked lol.

one of the levels of all time. can't believe it took me three hours

>>10783476
i mean usually you start running whilst holding down the button, but i think that if you press it on the edge instead she can leap further. i looked up the cheat and it said i needed to type "dozy", but she began swimming after d and o

>>10783489
Lol, congrats. Between the puzzle and the bug, it took me forever as well.
Also that hallway with all the boulders was brutal.

>>10783492
Yes, it's weird you're just now figuring this one out because it feels to me like there were other jumps earlier that required the same type of "on the edge" logic.

I've always done the hardest jumps by manually pressing on the last step instead of always holding it down and it's just internalized reaction without me even realizing it, so I can't be more precise. I'm just surprised you got this far without realizing it?

What you're saying is bothering me so I tried it just now. And you can do it by holding down jump, BUT you have to press grab at the very last moment (like you can't even see it on the webm). So there are at least 2 ways of doing it.

But it's counter-intuitive, isn't she supposed to jump further when extending her arms instead of the opposite? Holy shit, there are still mechanical subtleties to these games I'm struggling to fully grasp. Maybe a speedrun anon can explain better.

Holding jump down in both jumps here in the webm, only difference is when she grabs.

>>10763057

You don't even need to dive. Pretty sure I just jumped on it.

Bump

still alive, buddies?

it's so strange how much tr4 actually regressed, it's like they took two steps forward two steps back.
>corpses disappear immediately
>ammo counter gone
>retarded cluttered menu

>that flare glitch speedrunners use to skip the whole game

>>10785550
also
>you can't back up in the vehicles
the jeep and bike felt absolutely horrendous because of this change. it made the vehicles go from a fun distraction to an extreme chore

>>10785564
You can back up with the bike but it's horrid slow and you can't steer I think.

>>10785575
the bike up-backing makes lara climbing sideways look like a shinkansen

Some changes are nice.

That was good thing because sometimes you would be unable to see if the enemy dropped something.

5 of 5 secrets first try. MENSA here I come

>still no GOG patch

Wtf

>>10785352
I'm here but this thread is dead as fuck

>>10785789
what do you think, buddy?
should i go back to making /v/ threads? will we be able to keep them alive?

um... pierre is supposed to drop the key, even in sabatu's version, nón? did i find another bug??

>>10785916
yup i did. fuck. he didn't even say his iconic quote.

>>10785910
I'm game, trouble is they tend to surprise-die.

>>10786024
yeah, that's the issue, and unfortunately i don't have too much time anymore to monitor them so they're going to die early for sure...

>>10785282
>>10786024
yeah bumping doesn't work unless you get a new ip

>>10785595
>>10785564
Even though the controls are better, the quad bike sections have been ass as well. Interestingly the Kayak has been the most fun so far if you don't count the flying UPV (have they fixed that?).

this lever in ruins of khamoon looks oddly placed lol

>>10775915
>soulless gas

>>10786394
I've always wondered why supposedly dark caves get brighter at distance in some games like Skyrim. It's looks so shit.

i can't believe how big this stage was. it felt like four barkhang monasteries together

>>10785771
>>10786409
good progress anon, I took a break after Midas but I'll be back later... go on without me

damn, there are people whose full job is studying Tomb Raider Last Revelation lore

Sabatu created Peru in under two weeks? What the actual hell? Some of the best level design I've ever seen in a game (I've played over 300) just casually put together in half a month. And the whole last level in just a day.

Honestly because of people like this I don't respect game developers who bitch about "crunch".

>>10786991
Impressive. I wonder if he planned some stuff ahead though, what impressed me most is it's actually thoughtful and makes good use of deeper mechanics/gameplay subtleties.

>>10787065
he's been making levels since 2013 i believe? so it sort of makes sense, but still
he's definitely a cut above the rest

Any chance this collection gets a physical release?

It's up.

like that

I want original camera with remaster graphics.

Holy fuck, Thames Wharf was miserable with remaster lighting... there was this part in the last big empty pool where flares did not illuminate the place AT ALL, and you couldn't see the ceiling grate to grab on unless you turned old gfx on...

I enjoyed Tomb Riader 2, but I really think the underwater/rig section felt rushed. They should have added another level between you getting the Seraph and Lara going back to the rig to steal a helicopter. it's a shame the rig/ship section was so short!

>>10787986
>calls out the AI textures
i'm thinking based.

>>10787986

>>10787986
i just skipped through bits of it, he calls xian the second best level, what's his first?

NEVER SLIDE INTO A BLOCK
worst mistake of my life

>>10789147
the 'stery of course

>>10789170
>mines
Ugh... Hate it. Is it better than original?

>Erm, did I just walk on lava? Is that a thing I can do now? That just happened!
>>10789203
it's far far bigger. honestly i'm kinda over how every level in this game has to be a two hour long treck, mines used to be a comfy break from the action in the original, it had pacing, here it's the same thing again. the level design is good, it just doesn't go well as a package...

i thought this level would never end jesus fucking christ. i'm worrying that the last two levels will be four hour gauntlets each and that i will need two days to finish this

>>10786910
Egypt makes no sense, in TR1 they are under the Atlantean Occupation Government, mummies are just wrapped up flesh monsters. In TR4 it's the usual Egypt with gods and mystical enemies. Wtf my immersion

>>10789684
it's called Natla Technologies dummy

I must be shadowbanned on /v/, whenever I make a thread it just drops straight to page 10, none of the replies bump it.

>>10790804
no, the same thing happens to me
the problem is that nobody posts in them and is unfortunately one of the two reasons why i stopped making them on /v/ - the other reason being a lack of time

i've failed you buddy, just like i've failed the rest of my larabros

> still barefoot outufits left undone
What's taking so long? I want to do my barefoot only run already.

>>10789332
That's why I need to take breaks... And I don't like Atlantis

>>10790982
It's OK buddy poster, I think everyone is just burned out from playing too much in the past few weeks

we had daily threads that reached bump limit for a month, that's way more than I had expected from /v/
obviously most people aren't going to be playing TR for much longer than that

ngl... natla's stack is a lot bigger than lara's

YES YES YES
I CONQUERED SABATU

>>10763290
It's easier to understand once you realize they're more like puzzle games than action games. You know that when you press a button, your character moves 4 grid spaces in that direction and two up. You try to figure out the sequence of correct moves to get where you want.
Manic Miner was the first game of this kind.
Tomb Raider is basically a willyvania.

>>10791202
i think i've solved tomb raider in my brain, i only got stuck thrice in this whole playthrough, in the start of the folly with the pillars, and the two bugs i encountered. i feel unstoppable. time to celebrate with frozen pizza

>>10791008
Pretty sure she's barefoot in the nude mod

>>10791230
>i think i've solved tomb raider in my brain
it just began...

>>10791412
there are over 3k levels on the site

>>10791417
it's not over until you've completed all of them anon... you're not some kind of casual are you

I want her to cuck me so bad bros

>>10791343
Tasteless anon.

>>10791471
Why would she go adventuring barefoot? It makes no sense!

>>10791482
She lost them downstream and they're gone forever now.

>>10791490
She should just take off her boots when she goes swimming, and only get them back if she passes by that spot again. Same with her shorts though, that's what her leotard is for.

>>10791503
Man, Pokemon Arceus tech for swimming would be perfect.

About to start this set from 2008, it's supposedly extremely difficult, but the creator seems high IQ, he is (was?) an Italian Latin teacher so I know I'm in for sovl and kino

>>10791716
>shitalian
You're in for gaudiness, retardery, and terrible taste. In fact it's already clear from the screenshots.

>>10791731
I just started, it opened with a opening view of the ship, and as soon as I got control of Lara I had to shoot a couple of vultures with my Ice Gaze with unlimited magic ammo. Wtf is this outfit lmao

patrician outfit

>>10791747
>>10791782
>>10791731
Yep, checks out

after a mandatory fake grab and an almost perfect timed run, i made it to the captain's room, and opera music started playing...

>>10791424
this guy is halfway through kek

>>10791459
that can be arranged

bump

>Lara trying to bump the thread

it's crazy how patient tomb raider makes you. i just replayed sonic 1 and it felt like it went by like lightning, marble and labyrinth zone felt like peanuts compared to the hour long treks of TR. i think even my platforming improved

>>10763057
I finally beat 1 for the first time

Thoughts? I think it's not too bad. I just wasn't autistic enough to get all secrets.

>>10794047
that's great i couldn't find nearly as many. you'll have no trouble with 3 and 4's obscurities

>>10792018
There are so many literal boomers playing these that it's kind of surprising

Only missing New Game+ achievement for 2 and I'll be completely done with everything except 3, already dreading how this run is going to go.

>>10794209
The key is to use 'look' as much as possible. You need to have complete awareness of every room you are in and scan everything for potential blind spots.

How is the remastered trilogy?
Is it better than just buying the original trilogy on GOG?

>>10794572
Yes.

>>10794572
Yes. I'd just pirate the gog versions afterwards for more level packs and such.

Accidentally bought TR Anniversary because I got it mixed up with the remasters. Realized my mistake too late but I figured I might as well keep playing. I'm in Egypt. Combat is bland and the QTEs suck but I'm enjoying the rest of the game so far. I hear it made a lot of changes to the levels so hopefully it won't feel too repetitive playing the original after this.

>>10794774
based retard

>>10794774
>so hopefully it won't feel too repetitive playing the original after this.
the originals are a totally different ball game, fren

I wish there could be a team that branches off made of people who actually love the classic TR games and will continue to build on the original game's story and gameplay style. At this point, I don't think anyone would even care if there are two versions of Lara. Look at all of the capeshit stuff normies eat up, with all of the retarded alternate universes

>>10796029
it frustrates me that things like this even happen
i just wish that newer creators wouldn't change the source material entirely

>>10794774
In Natla's Mines now. Still mostly enjoy it but damn the controls are kinda jank. Sometimes when Lara is on a pole and you press jump she'll jump forwards through it instead of backwards away from it. She'll regularly land on the edge of some platform and slip off it half a second later if you don't move her forward. You can hold the stick in one direction and start doing side flips and at some point she'll randomly decide to flip the exact opposite direction.

>>10763057
mediocre games

>>10797630
Mediocre games are more engaging anon. Hyper polish ruins games.

>>10797531
Never had that happen. Controls aren't precise like the originals but that's the case for any game that uses an analog stick.

>>10798571
Some of those might be a PC only thing, or something to go my machine specifically, I guess.
There were also a few moments when Lara failed to interact with some ledge or platform correctly. I particularly remember one of the blance poles or whatever you'd call them in Egypt, the one with the crushing walls trap (pic related). If I tried to jump on it just before the walls opened up, I would land on it but immediately slip off, and not in the "press the action button to balance yourself" kind of way. I guess because it wasn't visible at the time the game didn't fully recognize it as something you could jump onto.
Anyway, I finished it now. Janky in parts but still decent. Will play some other game for now and check out the remasters once I finish it.
