TR had a lot of quality that went beyond the mere fact of being 3D. Clever puzzles, which is why everyone did block puzzles after that making them tiresome, agile combat sequences, nice music, some beautiful vistas... It had some great scenes, as subtle as diving in a pool from a high platform and hearing the main title music and feeling, I dunno, feelings, peaceful, for once. Or the first exit from the water tunnels. Or the Trex. Etc. It was good in more than being 3D. Sticks have nothing to do with it, they'd only help with camera control, but you rarely needed that since it was a fixed behind view. You couldn't strafe run like an FPS but in combat sequences you did jump a lot sideways and rolling and such to avoid hits...

I mean, sure, they were good for their time and are outdated now but they deserve more credit than "we didn't know better" for sure. And of course someone's still better off playing I or IV than the much newer Underworld for example... Their design was more sound.

Um, 2 and 3 also controlled like that, but they also sucked in many other aspects. IV was like a homage to 1 to me. Sure, it had the same ancient framework, but at least it used it decently. It was good. Overly tedious and boring at times, but overall, good. The original was a drag near the end too actually. Anyway, I was just commenting on Meo's post. And no, it's not just that we didn't know better, Tomb Raider was pretty impressive. And she wasn't exactly a tank, compare her to the Resident Evil cast of the same era. Pretty agile, in comparison.>_>

Oh, cool. Must have been after I quit. Or before I started? Whichever.

It was an exploit, and it was fixed, so it wasn't acceptable.

A return to form (IV), a remake (Legend), and a half-assed shitty game (Darkness) are overhauls? I guess we won't ever agree on this.

I only liked 1 and 4, I played the Legends demo but it didn't grab me.

But this other guy says it wasn't there!!!1 i dunno dude, whatever shit they run since whenever they realised they're gonna shut down, plenty of user screens (just google) show it's not how the game normally looks. And the GB crew didn't know you played on Xmas and it was like that.

Well I don't know, maybe because it's not there in every freaking screenshot you can find online? At the very least consider a compatibility issue with your graphics card or something... And yeah, I'm a total mxo fanboy, though I never played it... Clearly some people are playing it, in that thread, at least? And again, no trolling here CL60, just telling it how it is. I also didn't comment on the website or its staff at all... in this thread. And again, I'm not the first to point out how ridiculous many of you are being... If you wanna think I judge you harshly because of some perceived dislike of mine for something mostly unrelated to your character, sure, whatever works for you. Keep calling me out!
