Shadow of Tomb Raider looks interesting. Hope we get to see more game play for it soon.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider - E3 2018 Story Trailer
Lara finds herself in more danger than ever before in the latest look at Shadow of the Tomb Raider from Microsoft's E3 2018 Conference.
E3 2018: Shadow of the Tomb Raider Gameplay
The first gameplay footage has been shown for Shadow of the Tomb Raider during Square Enix's E3 2018 Showcase, showcasing how Lara can use her environment to stalk and take down her enemies.
Daaaamn. That blending into the environment is crazy. even to the players, she completely out of sight.

man this is going to be another good one
Did like the stealth sequence. Are the fear arrows new?

Mook perception is always funny. Lara shoots a guy with an arrow, who was just talking with, or at least was in the presence of a conversation mere inches away from another guy. When he founds that guy dead he just goes "Body here. Looks recent...." Was expecting more of a surprised reaction. The guy was alive 10 seconds earlier, dude! XD
I'll admit that is absolutely unnatural but now that I'm thinking about it, leave it. That's comical at best.

Hey friend! Hold that thought. We will finish This in a minute though! I'm gonna turn around for a second!

Body here. It's fresh. She's around here somewhere.

vidya gaems bruh  Cry
Yeah, the AI interactions aren't perfect. Like when Lara used a fear arrow, nobody took cover or attempted to take the guy out. Still, I'd rather that be a problem with AI than having enemies spawn in T-posed and unresponsive like is common in RotTR.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider Welcomes You to Paititi
With Shadow of the Tomb Raider releasing in less than two months away, Square Enix are giving players the longest look at the game yet with a walkthrough of Paititi. Home to a civilization untouched by modern culture, explore the largest hub ever found in a Tomb Raider game featuring a bustling city with challenge tombs, side missions, and more!
It looks awesome and I actually own it. I've just never gotten a chance to play it. But it's definitely on my gaming bucket list.
I'd say this is the weakest Tomb Raider out of the 2013 reboot trilogy. The whole story just feels like a mess because reactions last for about 5 seconds. Characters will do regretful actions and then just....don't care anymore when the next scene starts. It comes off like Uncharted 3 does, where Nate is a complete fucking idiot and the game jumps all over the place because it was designed with a few set pieces in mind and then the rest got built around it. Shadow has some great moments but all they do is highlight how bad the questionable stuff that already happened was. Eh

Seems to be a trend for Tomb Raider though, since Underworld (the third game in the Legend reboot) was the exact same, with great moments brought down by an overall questionable package.
I finally got around to this game and its been a good fun time. You can even see a playthrough of it on my Rumble channel here: Rumble.com/BigUltraGaming
