  • Walkthrough

    I haven't got the game yet, but I was just wondering, is it possible to turn off all those distracting hints? Like, I want to figure it out for myself, not be hand-held all the way through. I saw a video of Lara climbing the radio tower, then it says, turn knob left and right to adjust, or something like that.... I will figure it out!! We are not imbeciles, Core Design!!! Give us a little credit and let us learn the world ourselves!! Sheesh!


    Oh yeah, so can you turn them off? I hate hints. And they destroy the atmosphere they have worked so hard to achieve in the game.

  • Tomb Raider Uiltimate Graphics 1080p with TRESSFX hair!

    Look how realistic it is!! Although, I find the people look a bit like they are made of plastic, the way the light shines off their skin and their clothes. Overall, though, sometimes I forget I am looking at a computer-generated image :thumbs:
    Thanks for posting this video. Actually I only watched snippets of it because I don't want to give away too much of the story before I get to play the game myself [hehe]

  • New Forum Theme

    Hey tombraidergirl, the forums looks great! :thumbsup Nice work with the banner and the colour scheme and everything! I also like how the image remains behind the conversation/thread "windows". Very sharp.

  • Tomb Raider 9 General Discussion and Opinions

    The thing that I really do not like about having games tied to a Steam account (or any other account) is that, in 10 or even 20 years, when I want to go back and play them, who is to say the service provided by Steam will have survived that long? Will I no longer be able to play my games once Steam goes out of business? That's why I far prefer to get games independently of any service, which it seems nowadays is growing increasingly uncommon. But having said that, the only other games I play (Half-Life 2 series and Portal series) are on Steam [hehe]


    On a different topic - I'm really excited to try this new instalment! However, I think I ought to wait until I can afford an external graphics card for my Mac Mini .. what do you guys think? Here are the specs, with the weakness being the graphics:
    Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
    My opinion is that it will play the game OK at low to moderate graphics settings, but I want to play the game at maximum settings (including the cool TressFX) with a smooth framerate, so I think my graphics card my be too weak to allow this. Thanks for your thoughts.

    I don't know anything about FF, but they look good. And yes you have a good sense of proportion and where to crop and how to place text. I really like the middle bottom one

  • Lost Island - The Great Pyramid

    Yeah, there were a few tricky manoeuvres or enemies that took forever to figure out in this level. Sometimes I lost patience and stopped playing for a while because of it :???: Congrats on finishing :D
