Is it the worst of the classic tomb raiders? Its not as focused as the original and lacks the polish of III and TLR

AoD is the worst one made by Core Design, although it has the best Lara

>> No.9938306

Nope. Fixes literally all of the control problems of the first game and the levels actually look like something besides painted cardboard boxes.

Not even close. AoD is the worst one, or Chronicles if you don't want to count the PS2. It has no main issues other than too many hitscan human enemies.

Incredibly depressing webm. We haven't had a good Tomb Raider game for over twenty years now.

The only relation that uncharted has to tomb raider is that both are trying to rip off the same source material, they both want to be a video game version of indiana jones. As games they're miles apart from each other.

Tomb Raider 2013 is a good game, it's just not a good Tomb Raider game. It's more like a Rambo video game but replace Sly with Lara

The polish of TRIII? Lets talk about giving you weapons and ammo in India, then the option to pick three different adventures but rail-roading you into doing Navada because otherwise you lose all your guns. game offers you choice in how you pick adventure then punishes you for doing it.

New moves like crawling in TRIII slow everything down. Game is too dark, level design in III is singular in it's complexity to the rest of the series.

It is the final part of the trilogy of I-III of the purist Tomb Raiders, where difficulty and scale are perfectly advancing throughout,

but there's very little more polished about III compared to II.

The cut-scenes, pacing and theming of the levels is more jarring in III and even though I enjoy III as much as II

II is way more accessible and streamlined.

To me it's like saying Castlevania III is more polished than Castlevania I. CV III is a lot of peoples favourite because it's harder and has more to it but it's not polished like CV I.

can't compare with SImons Quest because II is not that kind of departure in the TR series.

Anniversary wasn't, either, but I'd take a continuation of the first reboot series over the slop we have now. The puzzles and platforming were the focus in both Core's and the original Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raiders, yet in 2013 they're relegated to optional side missions.
>>9938686
Whoever wrote the cutscenes for that game is beyond fucked up. Having the shit beat out of your character, having them impaled, and almost being raped is not a character arc. Hilariously the version of Lara that's supposed to be "coomer bait" has more depth than her.

not to mention crying and shaking about killing a human in a cutscene, then proceeding to mow down hundreds of dudes not an hour later. I hate this meme term but it's the perfect example of ludonarrative dissonance

Yea this trope is so annoying. Happens a lot in tv: bad guy kills bad guy for killing a cop. Not even another episode and said bad guy is killing innocent civilians and cops.
