Tomb Raider: Legend

Не, сама игра прикольная, Я ТАК ДУМАЮ. Я не успел в неё поиграть и насладиться, потому что игра ВЫЛЕТАЕТ после заставки, выдаёт ФАТАЛЬНУЮ ошибку. И некоторые спросят, а можно ли это пофиксить ? А я вам отвечу: "А НИКАК, ЗАЧЕМ ТЫ ВООБЩЕ КУПИЛ ЭТО. Зловещий смех* ХАХАХАХАХАХАХАХАХАХАХА". А вообще, я не шучу, в некоторых случаях эту игру нельзя починить, чтобы ты не делал, всё бесполезно. Хотя, со стимом дела обстоят немножко получше, потому что ТОЛЬКО БЛ### ДЛЯ СТИМА, завезли патч который уберает вылеты. А с Гог версией просто беда, нету патчей, гайды из инета не помогают, совместимость или запуск от администратора ничего не решают. И сразу вопрос, ЧТО ЖЕ ДЕЛАТЬ ? Никто так и не узнает ((

The janky controls.. Shame really

I love this game, and honestly after spending hours Steam playing this I want to say that I am happy that this is out on GOG, thank you very much!

OK. I played the original Tomb Raider loooong ago and didn't like the perspective much so I skipped next ones in the series. Out of curiosity I bought this one with a healthy discount and decided to give it a go. Of course it looks dated for today's standards but that was expected and I'm not judging the game for that. It's the edge of what I find acceptable in "classic 3d game". So it will do. But there are too many thing that won't do. First and foremost - it's a console game ported to PC. And it shows. From the controls, through those annoying "push the right button" action scenes to the save system. The save system is atrocious and similar to the one in XIII - you can save any time in the game but... it will save the last checkpoint, not your actual progress in the game. And the checkpoints aren't separately saved so while you can do "resume game" at the beginning, if you load any other "save", your original checkpoint is lost forever. It's not saved anywhere. And that was the last straw. But before that was the annoyingly jerky camera motion and relatively annoying riddles. They can be fun sometimes but they seem to be the 3d equivalent of pixel-hunting in good old point-and-click adventure games - you must guess whether the developers wanted you to be able to jump to that rope or not; whether you should jump to that ledge or not. Whether you should drop down here or if you'll die if you do. And so on. Oh, and the model of the main character is over the top - it's the pimpled teenager's wet dream. I understand that Lara is supposed to be relatively attractive sporty type but this one is really made to excess - it's ridiculous. Especially the evening dress version. I'm apparently too old for this.

It's amazing how superior Legend is to its direct sequel Underworld despite releasing first. Lara jumps higher, swings faster, shoots better and generally controls much better. I like them both but this one has better story sequences and music, too. She's also less of a wimp from minor falls. It's also more straightforward with mechanics and clear where you're supposed to navigate, more often than not. The menus and UI are peak. Sure the graphics are dated and some people's patience may vary with the quick time events but there aren't many of those anyway. All around I have to say this is one of the best entires across all of Tomb Raider's eras and possibly the best by classic standards.
