Tomb Raider!

[Breine]

I loved the TR games until TR Chronicles and i still play them from time to time (actually right now i'm replaying TR2.)
AoD was a disaster and the last 3 games are just plain awful.

The next one is supposed to be a reboot but since Crystal Dynamics is still the developer i'm not excited at all.

What didn't you like about the last three games?

1)The controls.From the movement simulation of the classics they made them too automatic for my tastes.No manual grabs,no aligning to make the perfect jump,all these IMO were very crucial for the game's immersion.With the control system of the recent games the immersion was lost.
2)The awful mommy story and the overdramatization of Lara's character.She became too soft and sentimental.
3)The PS3 port of Underworld was terrible and full of bugs with a broken camera system.
4)The games became too short and too easy.

There are many other things that i don't like in the recent games,but these are the most important issues that i have.Which is a shame since TR used to be one of my favourite series in the 90's.

I agree with you on the games being too short and too easy. But I disagree with you on the controls. I thought they were a big improvement. The control system didn't change at all in the first five games, and the whole "perfect jump" thing where you had to align to perform it right were eventually just an evidence of how block-obsessed the games were, and how old-fashioned the control system became. Making everything run more smoothly (i.e. making it more fluid) was definitely the right way to go. But hey, each to their own.
