Played the 2013 reboot and its sequel, had a look at the walkthrough videos and footages for the latest, and I can say I don't like it one bit. This new take, that is. That's definitely not the Tomb Raider that I knew, and it's definitely not the Lara I loved. The new series, for all the reasons you pointed out, is not for me at all. Hence I jumped ship.
Also the new TR looks a bit samey as the last two. I can wait for it to get cheaper.
Damn good, that collection. I recommend it.
I always enjoy having more of an incentive to search a given area in a game. Awesome.
Highly recommend its probably the most visually stunning game I have seen.
Have just bought a PS4 and . . . Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End (also Sniper Elite 3).
It truly is one of the best game series ever. If you haven't reached it already, there's a certain part of Drake's Deception that is very reminiscent of the final act of TLD. You're in for a treat.
Over at the Chat Thread I've written about my downsizing project, in which I'm getting rid of comics and DVD's, putting DVD's I'm keeping in sleeves rather than the original cases, etc. Although that's a work in progress, I'm also having a look at my video game collection. That collection includes a PS1, PS3 (two actually!), PSP, Nintendo 64, Wii, Game Boy Color and a Game Boy Advance.
I don't play video games often any more, but I'm not looking to get rid of much of this anytime soon (might have to eventually, though). What I will do is sell some titles I won't be playing again; movie tie-in titles for PS1 for example – or similar, which probably won't be of much value. Looking at what I am keeping, I'm trying to find a good way of storing, and preserving in a best possible way.
The game cartridges for the N64 for example are currently sitting in a shelf – in a wooden crate along with the other games. The Game Boy ones are in a organizing case/wallet so that's no issue, and the Playstation ones are in the cases they came in (with a few exceptions). That's alright I guess, but are there better ways of storing the cartridges, without fearing they might fall down and break, or anything similar? Any suggestions how to keep them in good condition is appreciated!
The collector in me also managed to keep some of the cartridge boxes the N64 games and Game Boy Color/Advance games came in. Any of these worth holding on to, or should I just throw them out? There's only three N64 cases, and two of them are a bit damaged in the sides. The third is looking much better, but is missing the cardboard stuff inside that held the game in place. The Game Boy Color/Advance cases I kept are for the newer titles I bought (I think) and they look relatively undamaged, with the inside stuff in place (instruction manuals too, I believe – for some of them). Finally, I also have the boxes that the Color/Advance consoles came in – although the Color one have seen better days.
If these cases are not worth holding on to, I'll probably throw them out, as they take up a bit of needed space. If anyone here have any other organizing suggestions in general for the consoles I mentioned above, that's great too!
The screen is insanely busy- hard to focus sometimes
That said, there’s a lot to like about this game. The levels were designed by Ken Adams himself, the near-constant duel-wield mechanic is innovative and fun, and the game is satisfyingly challenging without being excessive. Even the “eye powers,” while corny and reeking of bad sci-if, are a blast to use and are very helpful.
I cannot stress enough how incredible Ken Adams’ level design is. I often found myself stopping to geek out over getting to explore a classic Bond environment, and you get even more of these environments to enjoy in split-screen multiplayer.
The gameplay reminds me a lot of Halo, with its constant motion from one battle arena to another, slogging through an onslaught of well armed enemies. Much like Halo, this game offers no variety in gameplay; it’s a straightforward shooter. I will say though, I enjoyed this game much more than any Halo title I’ve ever tried.
All told, I would recommend this game to both Bond fans, and fans of FPS in general.
From Rebelllion, the developers behind the Sniper Elite series. From what I can tell, the first two parts of the trilogy, were originally released as dlc for Sniper Elite V2. A few things I have seen already back that up, such as the corridor linear map design, and some areas of the map are reworked areas from Sniper Elite V2. The underground tunnels of the Sniper Elite V2 train yard is reused. This is a really unnerving game. As if seeing the Swastika painted in blood on walls throughout the game wasn't enough, there are the ungodly sounds the undead make.
Spider-Man
Playing on the recently released New Game+. Maximum difficulty, and all my upgrades carried over from my first playthrough. I am enjoying Spider-Man even more this time round. Once I have finished this playthrough, I will be moving on to the Black Cat dlc. The 'Last Stand' suit has overtaken the 'Noir Sut' as my favourite Spider-Man costume.
Really cool game. Troy Baker is a gem.
Currently getting everything in Crash Bandicoot (N-Sane Trilogy Edition). Lots of fun as well!!!
Replaying Tomb Raider Anniversary myself, still early in the game getting attacked by bears and dodging darts. Steam should have there sale on soon assuming its not started already?
Edited: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.techspot.com/amp/news/77075-steam-halloween-autumn-winter-sales-dates-have-leaked.html
Details of sales the next one is 29th October to 1st November, I'll have to see what bargains I can pick up myself.
That's decent value I must admit I only played the earlier Resident Evil games, though on the 29th Oct I'll certainly check what bundle deals Steam are doing, the Tomb Raider bundle I got was extremely cheap.
Play RE7 sometime. It's a beautiful return to form, even shifting from third person to first person.
I still need to play that one.
I'll see if I can pick it up cheap on Steam.
Rise of the Tomb Raider is a great game one of the better games in the series IMO, the Military installation and valley sections are great.
I won't bother with the 3rd game, though. I prefer to use the controls every now and then.
The third game may be different and all, but I do like it.
Overall, however, my favourite is definitely the second game.
I've barely touched RDR2 thanks to Fallout 76, I'm incredibly engrossed by this game, having a blast with it. Can't wait until the full thing releases.
