I praise them trying to change Lara to be 'more human' (or for the better word). I praise them for putting a lot of love in rebooting the franchise. Heck I even preordered the collectors - the one with Lara's statue with it. And yes, I've played Tomb Raider 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 and 5.
And now I see this - some generic death match game.
I hope they completed the single player game as best as they could and they have spare time / money to come up with this crap. If so, good luck to them cause I'm not interested.
Well the way I look at it, when it comes to reviews, the creed here is 'know your reviewer' - everyone reviews differently as there are no set 'rules'. If you trust the person who drafted the review, it's all good.
E.g. I track some users that their concept of 'scoring' differs drastically however I know their style, therefore trust in what they have written. That's why I place a 'clause' on top of my profile page so whoever reads my review, have an idea what I'm trying to achieve.
Yet I'm very guilty of 'selling the game' and not 'reviewing' it. Also spoilers tick me off completely!
