Fuck off, the first 3 TR games are great

...

It's a cross between adventure and TPS. It's awful at the latter, and only okay at the former (some nice locations and monuments but the graphics were ugly even for the time).

The first three? Number four was actually better than the first three. The first one was pretty great though, I am currently replaying it (or rather I will, after I have finished my replay of SotC first)

>It's a cross between adventure and TPS
No it isn't. The game has way more of an emphisis on exploration, platforming and some puzzle elements as you try and traverse your way around the tombs. If you're playing this game for the shooting mechanics then you're a real moron.

Nostalgia is a very powerful thing

I only lumped the first three together because they're so similar. Didn't mean to shit on any of the following games.

holy shit, video games are like women

What's the appeal of 3? I feel like the levels are so large and at sometimes so obscure with their puzzle solutions that I completely lost interest on the 3rd stage of the London area.

I unironically think that Angel of Darkness is a good game.

I wish someday, someone will make the one Tomb Raider game that's a true mix of TPS and puzzle-platformer like everyone who never played the series think it is. Mario 64 mechanics + Max Payne shooting when?

LAU trilogy?

You mean the one where the devs were no longer interested in the series and were trying to kill off Lara just so they wouldn't work on TR anymore?

They didn't even wanted to make the sequel. It doesn't stop most of tr fans to consider it as the best game.

Not enough.

I see nothing wrong here.

I thought most TR fans considered 2 to be the best?

You confuse it with Dark Souls.

lol

That's what I mean, yes.

>exploration, platforming and some puzzle elements
That's pretty much textbook action-adventure.

So it's adventure/TPS. You must have a bad memory or you were a timid kid if you didn't get excited by the shooting mechanics at the time. Just because TPS was still a shitty primitive genre back then doesnt mean it wasnt one.

>I wish someday, someone will make the one Tomb Raider game that's a true mix of TPS and puzzle-platformer like everyone who never played the series think it is. Mario
Again, if you played it at time of release you would have enjoyed the TPS aspects.

As for your question, the desire for a TR game that focused on TPS is essentially the reason Uncharted got so big (combined with the PS needing a flagship TPS).

But cover-based TPS are lame.

That's quite a sweeping judgement. All shooters are generally cover-based unless the MC is a tank. What style do you prefer?

Dude fuck off, I recently replayed 1-3. They shit on modern games.

He already said about max payne. It would work perfectly, she had slowmo in lau trilogy, but it can be activated only in close combat.

Max Payne, Ratchet, Gunz, Vanquish, old Star Wars Battlefront

Oh, you just asked for shooter in general? Well those already mentioned, arena shooters.

Super Mario 64
Final Fantasy VII
Goldeneye
Star Fox 64
Sonic Adventure

TR3 is fucking ass AIDS. A game made literally to sell strategy guides.

I liked how with each game the model stayed the same but her boobs became more and more detailed

It's more like a cross between survival horror and platforming IMO.

There's a good reason for that.

>survival horror
>infinite pistol ammo

Oh yeah? Which is?

Not in the sense of inventory management more like
>tank controls
>spooky atmosphere in most levels
>enemies that pop out of nowhere

She's basically famous for them.

you all know it's true

4 was meant to be the Swan song. It would've been remembered as a great series, but then Chronicles happened, and then Angel of Darkness happened and then two reboots happened

I mean yeah, when the fucking devs themselves aren't interested in making a game and the only reason why they do it is because the publisher made them churn out a new game every year, there's bound to be a disaster.

Superior level design, music and atmosphere compared to VC.
