but what was actually her best game?
>>
>>729355745
They're all shit.
>>
>>729355769
how could so many have been made then?
>>
the first 4 seem to be the favourites among most fans, with angel of darkness being a special exception because of the lost potential
>>
>>729355801
The first game sold well because tits and ass. Then the publisher forced the devs to churn one out every year like slaves. The rest is history.
>>
>>729355857
but if the first was bad and only sold because tits then why would a second one sell? wouldnt the jig be up?

but what is the best one?

>but what is the best one?
it's sort of subjective because each one has different strengths and weaknesses in varying amounts
1 has the "purest" and most straightforward exploration and is the leanest package, 2 has the most gunfights and interesting villains, 3 has the most difficult to navigate and hardcore levels, 4 is more like 1 but with more of everything but the level design can be disorienting because it introduces a hub structure
it's really up to each individual person to decide which one they like best because they're all fairly different underneath the surface
>>
>>729355745
2. But really it was probably 1. But for me it was 2.

i forgot to mention this - the first game is actually great and some people, including myself, consider it to be the best 3D precision platformer ever made (which is amazing considering it was the studio's first 3D game and first 3D engine). in addition, the modded sabatu levels, which i haven't played but reviewers consistently say that they are the best 3D platforming levels ever put into a game

i guess it was just a case of people buying it for lara but staying for the gameplay

is "precision" (rigid and shit controls) qualifier needed because Mario 64 shit all over this franchise?
>>
If someone says tomb raider games sold well because of tits and ass they are on crack. Tomb raider had positive word of mouth because of the atmosphere of the games and the 3d movement and level design.

T. Got boughted it for mise sega sadurn
>>
>>729355745
The first one. 2 doubled down on the combat for some fucking reason even though that was worst aspect.
>>
>>729359035
doesn't matter they still suck

>>729358872
Do you really think Tomb Raider was trying to be a platformer in the vein of Mario 64? It's about navigating dangerous geometry by understanding space and figuring out little navigational puzzles, and the danger enhances the exploration aspect and grounds the player in the world. Mario 64 is a children's game about jumping on the heads of bad guys in a bland open level with a bit of challenging platforming if you can tolerate the first half of the game.

Anyway, Crash Bandicoot was better than Mario. Cope

Are the Remastered versions worth it? I haven't played the OG Tomb Raiders since I was a child
>>
Shadow has a really good nude mod so that one
>>
>>729355745
Finally LinusTechtips fag got tired of his ugly ass SEAmonkey wife! good for him

2 has some very cool locations like Maria Doria and the under the sea creepy shit , Tibet was super kino, and the final levels were creepy weird supernatural shit. Overall a great game even if it has a lot of human enemies.
3 was great but also very hard and Antarctica was creepy and pretty cool stuff too.

TR1 is actually fucking overrated, not bad but its sequels are just better in both locations and better gameplay / more movesets and sprint, flares etc.
I dont give a fuck about TR4 cause i dont like just being inside Egypt. And TR5 is actually severely underrated.
>>
>>729369232
Oh yeah man absolutely. The remasters are sooo much better than the OG PS1/ old PC versions.
They both run at very high framerates even on crappy modern PCs, and the textures and models look sooo much better, oh and you dont need that crappy ass tank controls anymore.
Once you get used to modern fluid controls there is NO going back to tank control trash.
>>
>>729369232
it's a convenient way to play the originals even if you don't want the enhancements and just want all the expansions and shit ready to go with controller support etc.

or you can patch the originals/use open source ports
>>
>>729369232
Modern controls kinda suck, and 1-3 remaster specifically needs a mod to uncap the framerate in classic visuals (4-6 has an option thankfully), but is otherwise pretty good.
>>
I dont think any of the OG Tomb Raider games are good.
>>
>>729369437
I think TR1 gets rated highly because its the most consistent. While I'll agree that the sequels have higher highs, they also tended to have lower lows as well.
