just finished what is most absolutely the worst piece of shit i've ever had the displeasure of "playing"

the original tomb raider is a miserably broken, frustrating mess of a game, only ever challenging due to utterly piss-poor design and controls that are at total war with you every single agonizing step of the way

how in god's name did this disaster ever attain such accolades, because it's virtually unplayable today and that couldn't have been any different even way back in 1996

And this was one of the hallmarks of the PS1?  I sure am glad I grew up on the N64.

started killzone 2

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

im not big on single player fps deals. My roommate bought this and the third one, he just beat 2 and started 3.

I think this was suppsed to be some kind of answer to Halo, but it pales in comparison (halo was pretty mediocre itself.)

also what is worse is that 2 has the shittiest motion controls. It took me 4 tries to turn a fucking valve. Goddamn sony.


i feel obligated to play this because my roommate keeps talking and talking about it.

it is

and it's the only reason mediocre-at-best sony franchises like killzone and resistance exist rofl

[Kalahari Inkantation]

anyway

tomb raider [glow=black,2,300](2013)[/glow] is up next

killzone is the epitome of grey and murky fps that typified the last generation.  it's a shame, the developers seem to really put a lot of work into it too lol, whenever they were showing off that tech demo at some e3 where they took off all the shitty filters they put onto the lighting and stuff it didn't look half bad.


but then of course the story is wank

tec why the hell did you play the original first honestly

it was already hard to play back then from what i remember, although imo not completely unplayable or anything. by today's standards pretty bad though, it'd probably be pretty difficult to go back to with zero prior experience.

ps1 had more important major games and series than tomb raider though, you know. if anything, tomb raider was virtually forgotten compared to series like crash. and then of course the mountain of very good rpgs that i know you'll never play lol

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

this year i plan to beat the rpgs i have for ps3. ni no kuni, tales of xillia, demons/dark souls, ff9, ff8 and xenogears


fucking rpgs why do i buy these time hogs

[Kalahari Inkantation]

tec why the hell did you play the original first honestly

at first, i thought having context would help me better enjoy the most recent title in the franchise

i only continued because i'm a masochist i guess

and i truly would describe it as unplayable unless the player is the type who hates himself, or the type who has allowed the caustic acid that is nostalgia to excoriate his eyes

lol

that last part wasn't actually meant to be taken seriously at all, obv. tomb raider isn't the sole defining title of the ps1

even i've played some of its truly stellar titles like mgs1

i just had to let my inner nintendo (or more like anti- pre-2009- sony) fanboy out of its cage for a second in the heat of my rage

[Samus Aran]

its worth noting that i have no idea how much the series improved upon itself in sequels because a bit of the original tomb raider is my only experience with the whole series

i'm not even sure how many other ones were even on the ps1

and i think it was remade at some point?

not a series i know much about, or care much about for that matter

[Kalahari Inkantation]

smart man

[Samus Aran]

eh, i'll get to it someday, but the 2013 game will probably be where i start

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i will never, ever touch another pre-2013 one as long as i live
