Strongly disagree. The previous games have much better exploration, platforming and puzzle-solving and those are the pillars of the series. The reboot trilogy has better combat but combat isn’t (and has never been) the focus of the series. TR2013 felt like Uncharted: Lara Edition and that’s the opposite of what I want…

It’s such an odd suggestion. Yup, a comment buried deep in an article is designed to get those hits from, um, all the people who already read down that far.

SoTR is easily the best of the reboot trilogy if you care about exploration, platforming and puzzle-solving. It has way more tombs and much more complex tombs than in either of the previous games.

TR2013 had very little in the way of actual tomb raiding. Tiny “tombs” (usually just a single, small room) and very basic platforming and puzzle-solving. The previous CD trilogy (Legend, Anniversary and Underworld) was way better than the reboot trilogy when it came to those things, though SoTR was a step in the right…

Firstly, it was a miserable mess of being dragged by the nostrils through its godawful story, with almost no actual tomb raiding, incessant hateful cutscenes, and almost no puzzles. Then there was the shitty rape scene opener, the racist characterisations, and the absolute betrayal of Lara as a character by having her…

That mother fucker. Literally.

So they just made the expansion for Graystillplays and that's about it.

Their old strategy guides in particular were really great. Even putting aside it was the best way (before the internet) to see all the production art for these games they would often take some fun directions with the guides. My favorite gimmick was one of the Zelda guides (I think Ocarina of Time) where the entire…

I’ve been defending Kotaku a lot but honestly it takes like 5 seconds to google these things and find out that everything in this article and the last article on other features (like the online) were in the old games, and that none of these are new, even in design. Amity Square was in Platinum and the Poketch looks…

“#Puddlegate all over again.”

This headline is Clickbait. “Fox News” and a local Fox affiliate are substantially two different things in our lexicon. C'mon.

I like that there’s apparently even a “woke SJW” version of doing crimes and killing people. Somehow this game where you steal cars and murder people is too PC? WTF?

Two of my favorite reactions to the reveal were:

- “They don’t look like criminals” What exactly are criminals supposed to look like? Please elaborate.

- “Typical Woke, SJW, 2021 BS” Yeah, totally different from anything in Saints Row’s past

Ah yes. The classic Cascading Failure. A thing that goes catastrophically wrong, causally linked to an endless chain of other Things That Go Catastrophically Wrong that all set off Even More Things That Go Catastrophically Wrong. Like a circular row of dominos, except each domino is an open oil drum filled with…

So people are willing to give their ID and be limited to one GPU per 30 days, but not to wear a mask to enter Walmart or show proof of vaccination to eat at Applebee’s? Fuckers.

If Capcom were going to go back to “what sold”, then RE 8 would be another action packed game like RE 5 or 6. 7 was a return to the atmosphere of the original trilogy, and it sold 8.5 million copies as a result. Almost a million copies more than RE2 Remake. It’s the 4th best selling game of the franchise, and the 3rd…

I mean I didn’t play Seven because of the changes. It wasn’t because of the “scariness” so much as it felt way too close to first person “run away horror” games like Alien Isolation or Amnesia which I don’t find fun in the slightest because it’s typically not your mistakes that fuck you but RNG. It’s the ability to…

Only some of these are “reboots;” many are “revivals.
