Apparently the gameplay is kind of like a over the top uncharted in a bad way (this put me off). But it does have some good gameplay apparently!
I am sorry to disappoint you, but its installed on my desktop!![]()
i started playing an hour ago and half an hpur into playing ive noticed quite a few game breaking bugs. Hope it gets sorted soon
I'm not disappointed by that, I would have been if you had kept it and not installed it though. Have fun.
If you are talking about the bug where Lara sinks in the ground and can no longer move, I read that the fix is to just start a new game and it won't happen the second time around, but I would make a back up of the game save before deleting it, though this is a known bug and will hopefully be fixed soon.

no i got a weird visual glitch for a while near the cliffs and soon after you find that breafcase with the matches etc the game crashes
I've had a few small visual glitches, clipping etc. In the main though its been fantastic. I had one crash where the game froze but still responded (I cant describe it very well, but the same thing happened to me with Hitman Absolution).
Looks absolutely fantastic, and runs at steady 60 fps too. (Running on highest settings including the hair thing, at 1900x1200 on a single overclocked 7970)
Overall happy with the purchase, got it at £19,99 from online key store.
From what I've heard it's quite different to the old TR games, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see what it's like.
Had a go of it, it's pretty decent but I would say it's on the lines of Splinter Cell Conviction type of movement etc. Seems quite fun so far![]()
Having just completed the game after only 12 hours according to Steam, around 2-3 of which were wasted due to the bug I had on my first game, I have a 75% completion. I thought I was careful and looked everywhere, but I missed a few of the hidden tombs, some challenges and didn't get all of the collectables. I am a bit disappointed in how short it was, but I guess I expect too much having played so many MMO's and getting dozens of hours of game play from a few pound per month.
That aside, it was a very good game. Controls are great, weapons are great, stealth is great, story is great, graphics are fricking awesome... I do have two minor niggles though. 1, the camp GUI is clearly a lazy console port and the noise it makes when moving your mouse over a few icons fast is dreadful (not something you would do on a controller), and 2, the QTE's are too much, and often way too fast, and even more often it plainly doesn't tell you what you need to press. POSSIBLE SPOILER: The fact that both of the final fights were dominated by QTE really annoyed me!!
Overall though, I am happy with the game.
I think it is short indeed. But I don't mind short and quality. The production values are incredible - I think it get the balance right between quick time events / cut scenes to drive the plots. When you lose control of Lara, its because she herself has lost control (ie falling etc).
I would have liked a few more puzzles, and a few more complex and hard to solve puzzles as a nod to previous tomb raider games. But overall happy
Hopefully AMD/nVidia will bring out better driver support for TRESSFX, that brings cut scenes to halt when enabled, once you see it you realise how naff blocky polygons look.
The graphics are amazing and I think the ability to go back to areas once visited makes the game last longer than it would of doneI haven't actually finished it yet but it's very enjoyable.
