I like that it is its own thing, I just think it could've borrowed a few other cues from Uncharted (or any other game like it) just for the multiplayer portion. I hear a lot of other people saying the same thing too. It could've used more hunting too... you do it once in the beginning of the game, and then that was it...


edit: took down the review video I posted because it was actually retarded
This was actually my first time seeing the new Tomb Raider. After seeing it I'm convinced the same multiplayer engine could be the basis for a Hunger Games tie-in.

Far Cry 3 (PC)

I finally completed the main story in FC3 today, and chose to save my friends over the life of a warrior. The ending I got was... inconclusive? I'm contemplating a second play through (with mods this time) to see if Jason Brody might meet a different fate.

However, I'm also eyeing Black Ops 2 on sale for $30, which I'm sure would keep my twitchy fingers busier for longer if I sprung for it.

I think he's just confused (and possibly pissed) that you want Tomb Raider to be more like Uncharted, when, if you wanted an Uncharted-like experience, you could just... well, play Uncharted. That's what your opinion on TR sorta says.
Well...yeah, this, but I actually DIDN'T know it had all those things. It was already very awkward that Tomb Raider had more or less completely shifted genres and was doing a whole new thing, but it seemed like a cool new thing with the whole surviving the wilderness on what you've got in front of you. It's kinda like what Metal Gear Solid 3 was trying so hard to be, but failing miserably because there was too much shit to do and most of it was pointless to the actual main game.

So yeah, back to the issue; why would this game need a cover system? You fight wolves and tigers with spears and arrows, with the occassional gun toting human here and there. It's not a full on action game that'd need a cover system...right? Also, how exactly DOES multiplayer work? Do you all have to kill each other, or do you see who outsurvives the other person?

You don't have a cover system in the wild, though you can climb on one or two branches, like in Assassin's Creed 3. I'm talking about the multiplayer having it. It doesn't feel natural running around without stopping to plan out your next move by hiding for a second. I mean you can still sorta hide, but you know what I mean. The main game itself has a cover system, it seems to go on and off, as in you think you can cover on one spot, but you can't... and sometimes you can... I don't know. Killing in multiplayer doesn't feel rewarding for some reason, unless someone actually runs into your predictable trap. Either way it's still really fun though. The only major difference in the formula is that you don't have to solve all those long ass puzzles like in the old games, and there are humans to stealthily shoot down with a bow and arrow or a gun. It's refreshing really. And there are still random tombs to discover. Not much to the tombs, one easy to solve puzzle and you get a little extra money or whatever.

Actually, a few things I like about MP is that it takes a few cues from COD, when you're about to die you can get a few last shots off on the ground, or have an active bomb drop off you when you die. And when you die you can choose to spawn next to a friend.

It only has 2 elements that remind me of COD and that's from multiplayer, you're really going to let that get to you? XD

Funny that, I've been getting into Simulations after getting the main story over and done with, and holy crap does this game shine with 16 playable characters in the mix. It's also made me discover I can play a pretty mean spinmaster Douglas/Big Bull so long as I can make people regret taking their eyes off me. :6:

Should probably try it online soon now that I've got my Live subscription renewed.

In other news I've been playing Monster World IV for the first time thanks to the XBLA compilation. I swear to god I'm going to hate Sphinxes for the rest of my life after this.

Online is a blast in this game. It's like a post-apocalyptic Power Stone 2 on steroids. I play a mean Zero myself, and sometimes like to mix it up with Garuda or Gargoyle. :3

The only things I've been playing lately are League of Legends and World of Warcraft.
My pandaren hunter is almost level 90. I even snagged a white tiger pet for her. <33 I actually got a sort of running commentary on her progress on this blog.

League of Legends-wise, Eric is actually considering forming up a ranked team in future, with a bunch of us on EUW. At the moment we have me as ADC sub:APC, Eric as Jungler sub:ADC, and I think we had some roles in mind for the other people we're going to be recruiting as well, but we're the only level 30s at the moment, so...

I've played a little Torchlight 2 and Insaniquarium. Both are pretty intense for different reasons. T2 I've been doing multiplayer a lot, which is really fun, albeit feeling a little... shoe-horned. But then, there's no such thing as a true support class in Diablolikes. Everyone has to be able to hold their own because that's how the game was originally meant.

Here's the link

Fling ( E ) AP ratio reduced to .75 from 1.
Fling ( E ) damage reduced to 80/125/170/210/260 from 100/150/200/250/300.
Insanity Potion ( R ) no longer grants reduced disable effects.


Guess some people (who can't play against him or just hate him) really QQ'd loud enough because these nerfs weren't needed. Some people still complain his win rate is over 50%... by that logic half the champs deserve a nerf then, especially Hecarim lol! Hopefully Riot doesn't go down the trend of many nerfs/buffs for Singed (like with other champs) and then new artwork (like with some champs. Seriously fuck that).
