It's in the soviet spot where you learn to use the rope swing and molotov cocktails. That tomb is really dope breh. I think Im gonna stop doing all the item collecting and sidequests. Having a blast now that the game is actually moving. :salute:
Oh yeah? Giving a game time to get into its groove actually works? Crazy. Almost like the same thing happened with the last Tomb Raider

Lol actually the first 2 hours of the game are really dope. It's when you get to the first open hub where it slows down a bit because of all the collectibles and side quests it throws at you. At least for me cus I'm an OCD gamer lol.

Just played for 4 hours straight :wow:

I'm liking it more and more. The shooting is the worst part of the game though. I like the platforming. I'm trying to beat the story first and then do the tombs. It says I'm like 50% done, but I think I'm near the end of the game. Will try and beat it tonight.

got the atlas, trinity is trying to dig through the glacier, and I'm at the path of the deathless

After you beat the game, can you still play? I haven't done any of the tombs, except one so far. Wondering if I have to do them before completing the game. :jbhmm:

I just want to get the main story done, and then go exploring.

Yeah the shooting is mediocre this time around. Luckily, in the 10 hours or so I've played so far, there's been what, maybe 10 shootouts? And I just wreck them with bombs and molotovs now lol. Game is at its best when you're platforming and doing tombs.

Yep you can go back after beating the game and get 100% if you want to.

Played like 3 hours today, just did sidequests and Tombs. I agree with a lot of the critique you guys have been putting out there (ie checklist game)but my experience so far is still really good. I honestly expected Tomb Raider 2013 with better graphics and thats it. They made the experience better, gave you more shyt to do.

My only real complaint is that "fast travel" is actually slow as fukk. Im sure an SSD would fix that, and I understand why the load times are long, but damn they are long.

Actually I got two complaints. Byzantine coins. Picking up like 2 coins here and there, meanwhile you need like 145 for a shot gun. :francis:
I want a shot gun brehs, but I bought some other shyt early on now I gotta grind out maddd coins :francis:

You'll automatically get a shotgun for free when progress through the story.

Alright so the game is really dope right now. That grapple hook. :banderas: Im past the Geothermal Valley and after the Atlas. Basically all the best parts of this game are the linear moments and the Tomb/Puzzle moments. Game's gone full Uncharted right now too. :whew:

I wish I was ignorant like my boy. This nikka playing this in 4K/26~30fps maxed out(cept VH textures). Dude thinks it's smooth. :wow:

Worst performance drops in the game by far.

Almost done with the game. It got better today. I'm at the final campsite. I'll either beat it tonight or tomorrow. Then it's on to the Tombs.
