I thought about checking out this game when it was on sale on Steam, but I never could convince myself to go for it. Most of the reviews I read had pretty good things to say about it, and this sounds like the best chance to try it out at its fullest potential. Mainly I just need something to hold me over until Titanfall comes out in March, and Battlefield isn't as fulfilling as I hoped it would be due to all the issues there have been, especially with online play. 

Anyone who has played it got any opinions? Let me know in the comments!

Happy gaming,

-Buck

I haven't played it, but I own it for PC.  I don't know if it will run on my computer though.  It'd be nice to play a next gen version of it.  I wonder what other games might get the same treatment.

Here's what I've had to say about in the past: 

 "Let me start by saying this: Whoever designed the first two hours of this game is going to the special hell. After I kill them in a terribly vicious manner that would make Kratos proud, of course. Preferrably ripping out their eyes using a quick time event, which would be an ironic twist of fate seeing as how this insufferable cunt is so fucking fond of them.

 Suffice to say I didn't like the first two hours of this game. There was less gameplay than Metal Gear Solid, and more quick time events than Resident Evil 6. That combined with the fact that Lara sounds like a teenager trying to fake an orgasm everytime she gets hurt, in a frustratingly annoying British accent, and it's enough to make me want to rip my hair out. Oh, and not to mention that on PC it doesn't tell you what button to press in the QTE's. it just says press exclamation mark, or press foot. THERE IS NO FUCKING FOOT KEY ON MY KEYBOARD! I'm pretty sure the only person on earth who has that is Quinten Tarrantino, and it's a custom hotkey to his porn collection!"

 One of the main praises for this game is that it has a strong female lead. Sure, if you count a completely psychotic sex symbol as strong, then you're absolutely right. However, Lara is seriously not a good role model, nor is she an accomplishment of feminism. For starters, the only thing that seperates her from Nathan Drake is that she screams a lot more, and is a lot more scared than the big male action heroes who don't need to cry. I mean, outside of crying and screaming and being in an incredible amount of pain, she barely has a character. We're supposed to believe that she's gone through this huge transformation by the end because she can shoot people without crying, but she did that at the start of the game. She killed a dude who was getting frisky with her and started crying over it, only to start killing off his friends with the precision of Lee Harvey Oswald. SHE DOESN'T EVEN WINCE! I mean this bitch is completely psychotic. After she gets upset over killing a moose, she kills about a thousand animals for what is basically the game's currency. So not only is she a psychotic bitch, she's also an avid hater of anything that isn't human.

 It's ok. It has moments where it shines, but for the most part it's uncharted without the meorable set pieces. HOWEVER!!!! This is just my opinion, and a LOT of people have loved this game. I'm just giving you my negatives to weigh against the ppositives.

You just made me want this game less. Frown

I'm still getting it, though. Laughing

Don't worry, I'm in the minority for disliking this game. So many people love it and I just can't see why.

I like it a lot it but my friends are divided down the middle on it. Seems to be one of those love it/hate it kind of affairs for most people. lol.

I never picked this up when it came out.  I may get it now just to tide me over until infamous: second son comes out.
