but still the fucking survival instincts makes it no fun, try to stay away from the r3 button if you want to think about what to do

and "early" next year is not before march. plus usual delay it might end it in may which is by far the most reasonable date cause its time exclusive on xbox and may would be 6 months

Dusted off the JTAG! (and updated it)

The game itself is a lot like the last one, except iv not once encountered a proper puzzle yet. Expect lots of over the top explosives and stuff collapsing all around you.

Anyway, at certain places the fps drops to below 10, making it unplayable for some seconds, overall I feel the fps is pretty far from 30 im afraid. The gfx is pretty much what you expect from a 360 game, pretty shitty but with somewhat decent character models. Seems to have a good length, 21% after 3-4 hours.

Finished! Took me 8 hours.
I kept thinking how awesome this game would be with higher res and better textures... Sad

Definitely a 8/10 game. Lots of tombs to explore, upgrades to get, challenges to do etc.

Well not exactly, but I completed it at 63%. Still gonna search for parts to unlock new weapons and so on. I think there are more side quests too, but I tried to find them all before I finished the story.

I forced myself into stopping playing the X360 version, because the XONE version is releasing next week anyway, and you can really see the BIK vs in game transition and I feel like I'm missing the full experience.

Got into the Soviet place, now it's starting to slow down heavily (like literal 10 fps at times!), which is sad because it's really good.

Interesting...

iMARS had proof.jpg so surely it's retail... maybe old dashboard makes it disable some effects ? i didn't update to newest, mine is some september 2014 one..

Or maybe it's when using the title update 1 ? will try tomorrow, too lazy to fire up the x360 now.

The game looks as bad as the first screenshot here for sure.

I believe you, I guess what they were saying is getting all 50 skills would make it take that long.

RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER / 30 SEP 2015
RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER WILL BOAST 30 TO 40 HOURS OF GAMEPLAY

266 Lara's in for the long run.
BY LUKE REILLY Lead designer on Rise of the Tomb Raider at Crystal Dynamics Mike Brinker has confirmed there will be plenty to do in the follow-up to the studio’s well-received 2013 reboot.

“Not only are we going wide, but we’re going deeper,” explained Brinker. “We’re looking at 30 to 40 hours for the completionist. That delves into things like, for example, our skill trees.”

“We used to have, I think it was 15- or 16-odd skills. Now we have over 50 skills. And we have three different tracks you can upgrade, and they’re each separated by four tiers. And then you’re looking at things like the translation system and the crafting system that really bring about all those layers of her leveling up as a character.”

the effects seem to be there, at least I saw the lens flare on the start climbing section.
must be the title update that fixes the problems I assume. I did install the new dash and the title update before playing.


The night is dark and the road is long. Come on dead men, return to your homes.

Most of us stopped using newsgroups because of what you describe; obfuscated filenames make searching a pain in the arse, and most of the time nowadays even those get removed quickly. It's just not worth paying for access to something that has every possibility of not even existing when you go to look for it grinhurt Torrents, or free filehosts like Hugefiles/Mega/etc, offer a far more consistent experience of late.

Noticed a completely reused building after I visited the Soviet place. The same one was in the first 2 hours of the previous game. I mean literally the same thing, same staircase, same frontside, just a bit of snow in there Embarassed

So I can confirm with the Day one patch, the game is miraculously A LOT nicer, it's day & night difference like those screenshots I posted above.

Even the vegetation is increased.

The lighting is changed a lot and feels a lot more real now.

Probably some shaders were updated, the wet effects is similar to the XBONE version now.

Most likely the most amazing DAY 1 patch out there, not ubishit patch Laughing
