    It's not going to be a flop, nor did I imply it was going to. Tomb Raider wasn't a flop by any stretch of the imagination. Square Enix said it was though, and I'm just saying that these aren't the actions of a company who are concerned about how well Tomb Raider sold. x}

    I was replying to SapientiaXIII and I never implied that's what either of you meant.

    It's supposed to hit PC in early 2016 and I can't wait. I loved the 2013 game. The fact that I don't get to play it in November like XB1/360 owners will is irritating, but not as irritating as having to wait a whole year for the PS4 version is.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I may or may not wait. I've never owned an Xbox before, PlayStation all the way! But there are a few Xbox games coming out soon that I'm interested in. Depending on what my finances are like in November I might take the plunge.

    Have to wait a whole year to play this on PS4!?

    WOW! Well done SE. What a way to alienate the majority of franchise's fan base. Sales will definitely show them that this decision was an absolutely horrendous one.

    I wonder out of curiosity how much MS actually paid for this timed exclusivity. It had to be a generous payment to make up for the loss of sales on Sony platforms. There's a 360 version as well, I wonder how that version will sell compared to it's next gen counterpart?

    Have they actually said it's a wait of a whole year? Surely 6 months is enough. The novelty's worn off for most games by then anyway. Especially single player games.

    I imagine they are getting paid to do that though, it's just to make friends with Xbox owners.

    ^ Yes, they have. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps4.../1100-6429137/

    Also the novelty may have worn off then for people who have played the game, but for some it will be a new experience.

    I got a bit bored with the Tomb Raider reboot. The first hour or so was excellent but it got kind of stale halfway through. I didn't actually finish it but I'll get round to it at some point. Waiting a year for it to come out doesn't bother me in the slightest. I have far too many games to start and finish in the meantime!

    That they were! They were all so dramatic and in some cases generally made me cringe.

    If the day comes where I'm in the mood for an action adventure game and there's not a Batman, Uncharted, or Assassin's Creed title available for me to play, I may pick up the first Tomb Raider and then try this one. However, it seems like there are always more interesting games out there for me. Maybe I'll try this before I catch up on AC, since Unity looked mediocre and Syndicate not much better. I have heard good things about this series.

    I've been playing for several hours now. Really enjoying it. Gameplay is fun, the world is more open with more to do than the first game, and the story is pretty good with villains you really grow to despise. It's probably my favorite game of the year so far.

    Glad to hear it! I'll be picking up an Xbox One within the next week or two so I look forward to giving it a go
