ok but can we discuss how the game aesthetics are top notch due the fact that the artists themselves were the ones making the levels instead of just designing them and that the game inherent geometric design gave it a harmonic sense overall

He was a major sjw before that was a thing. He left the company because they marketed Lara for coomers.

This game should've been more influential, we live in the bad timeline where developers imitated legend of smegma instead and its shitty hallway simulator, players don't want proper exploration because it's too hard. I remember just before the unveiling of the atlantean centaurs there's this scary as fuck underwater cave that has all these vertical winding sections that can reward you or be a dead end you drown in. Playing with your anxiety and testing your nerves is something games are afraid to do today, but tomb raider like thief the dark project is on a different level entirely.

Maybe I'm misremembering but running around the main character's house without having some obnoxious arrows or invisible walls is a lot of fun and adds a surprising amount atmosphere and even storytelling.

if you look at the texture theres a ring on the surface and im sure with "moderate" strength it would still slide due to low friction despite being a fuckin huge block of stone

[Anonymous No.10357824]

>>10356618
no, no he kind of has a point, theres a reason theres yellow paint and birdshit on the ledges of all vertical platforming sections in 3d adventure games and it can only be argued that its because the audience of people that will buy it are largely among the "i dont have time to get stuck i have a JOB" type even if exploration was never supposed to get you "stuck" in the sense of the word but was the main activity.

finished I and started II recently, I have to say, II is a MASSIVE upgrade over I and I only did the first two levels, it's honestly amazing

As someone who has played 0 (ZERO) Tomb Raider games, should I start with the first one or just go ahead and jump into the second one?

[Anonymous No.10358604]

>>10358589
I had an oldfag tell me that 1 feels like a tech demo after you play 2, and it's looking to be very much true...
Having said that, I think 1 is worth a shot, the sense of discovery and exploration is very much present there, I thought it was fun, even if Lara's movement is archaic, I didnt have issues with it because I like tank controls, and levels are on a grid, so the platforming is very precise, some levels might be stinkers (ones that have to do with water), but the rest are pretty alright, one or two levels a day should be good so you dont get bored, the game is kind of slow after all
If you want to skip to 2 then I dont see an issue with that personally, I'm pretty sure the stories are not connected, unlike 1 and Unfinished Business

[Anonymous No.10358618]

Good deal, I actually like seeing the progress games make between iterations so I guess I'll try TR1 first and see if I can stomach it.

this was one of his original ideas for Lara
>Game Character
>Lara Cruz - Main Character.
>Lara enjoys working with underprivileged children and the mentally disabled. She has a degree in needle work, and loves to travel. Lara’s one wish is to ski down Everest with Brian Blessed strapped to her back. The simple reason for having a main character as a woman is that if you are looking at a character all the way through a game, the more pleasing on the eye it is, the better. Plus psychologically, a male playing the game will be more involved with a woman character, in some macho protective little farty way.

Most action adventure games had you push/pulling big boulders for puzzles, idk what the problem is, too slow? That's because your attention span is shot.

Pushing and pulling crates was just a thing back then, sort like the QTEs during the 360 era. Tons of games had them, e.g. Soul Reaver, Zelda and so on.
