Rise of the Tomb Raider

If you guys want to continue with pointing out the blatantly obvious and making snide comments that would be great.

I'm not trying to convince anyone to feel how I do about it. I was simply giving some thoughts..

I was a huge fan of the 360 version of this game and can't wait to check out the x1 sequel but it will be some time before I can get to it. Still slogging thru witcher 3, bats, metal gear, etc.

I wasn't even thinking about the release of UC4... That's a good point. That makes the purchase even harder to make. I'll end up with both Tomb Raider and Drake eventually.

Jump on in Pappy, the waters warm...

I'm jealous, but if we get a definitive edition (with all the DLC) for the PS4 next year, I'll be OK.

Curious, who do you think lost a lot of sales? Because it's not Square Enix as im pretty damn sure that whatever Microsoft paid them in order to make the game a timed exclusive was more than what it's most likely going to sell considering all the excellent games that have come out and are still to come this year.

If any company is going to lose anything, it's Microsoft but that's a good thing because I think that this game is going to be their last in regards to paying a third party for a timed exclusive.

Personally, im a gamer first and foremost and quite simply, I wanted to play this game so much that I purchased an Xbox One this past Saturday as I don't want to wait and I think that there will be more games that I want to play a year from now then there is so I was like, what the hell, im a gamer and ROTTR seems to be one hell of an excellent game and I enjoyed the first one of this rebooted trilogy so why not buy an Xbox One?

I was feeling the same way but this game and Quantum Break will easily justify the decision to purchase of an Xbox One a few days ago. Add in the great deal I was able to get at Best Buy and quite simply, why not?

Crystal Dynamics had nothing to do with making this game a timed exclusive. Microsoft made Square Enix an offer and they accepted. Crystal Dynamics is simply the developer which is owned by Square Enix. They did an excellent and amazing job based on reviews and scores. I for one can't wait to play this game tomorrow.

If you still own an Xbox 360, you can buy the game for $40 GCU at Best Buy and get a $10 pre-order cert. if you do it tonight. And from what I have read on neogaf, Nixxes did an outstanding job with the Xbox 360 port.

As for Uncharted 4, I know a lot of people like to compare these franchises but they shouldn't because one is an action sequence oriented game while TR is more about stealth, exploration, hunting, crafting, upgrading, scavenging and survival. I love Uncharted but Tomb Raider has more depth to it in my opinion.

Unless Uncharted 4 gets delayed which is definitely possible, ROTTR will do better next year on PS4 than what it will do this year on Xbox One.

I hear you, but I don't really want an XB1. Tomb Raider and the ability to use the Fight Pass app is the only things it offers that I want.
