Not being able to find/afford a copy of PoP:SoT isn't an excuse! PERIOD! If anyone uses that as an excuse, I'll know you're lying, and we will no longer be friends.

What about lazy asses? I mean, I have it but... it's all the way over there...

Jed · 06-07-2007, 02:07 PM

I ordered mine last night so should be here sometime next week

*Mr. Snackpants* · 06-09-2007, 07:40 PM

2 EBs...no Sands of Time, but plenty of the other PoP games.

How long 'til this begins again?

Peanut · 06-09-2007, 08:13 PM

Whenever anyone who wants in is ready to go.

*Mecha Cow* · 06-09-2007, 08:28 PM

Is there a specific challenge or anything?

愛 · 06-09-2007, 11:04 PM

I'll probably start sometime tomorrow. I should get a little bit into the game. We should set a checkpoint and a time frame.

*Cure* · 06-11-2007, 06:22 PM

Since this is a long term kinda thing, shouldn't someone sticky it? Just a suggestion.....

Peanut · 06-11-2007, 06:43 PM

Probably. I just never mentioned it because we have so many damn stickies in this section already. I hate it when a section is so filled with stickies you have to scroll to see new threads, but that's just me.

Jed · 06-11-2007, 07:28 PM

Has anyone else started yet? I got my trilogy set in the mail this morning and I couldn't wait to play it so I started after work. I'm nearly 20% through it.

Damn it! I guess I'll start tomorrow after work.

How are you enjoying it so far?

On that topic, I'm considering un-stickying the "Rate the game" thread. It's rarely posted in, and people can just bring it up whenever they need it. What do you think?

The acrobatics are really good, it's very like new Tomb Raider but a lot of stuff is done better like the pole swinging. I don't like the combat because all you need to do is vault over an enemy and you can kill them with three hits, but then when you fight a boss they can be really hard to even hit and take long enough to kill as it is (

Spoiler:

).

Even though I've been playing next gen games for a year now the graphics still look pretty good, especially by last gen standards.

Is it just me or does the sound seem off sometimes? One minute it'll be really loud then the next minute I can't hear what the characters are even saying.

That's probably because the new Tomb Raider borrows heavily from PoP, and really Tomb Raider has always borrowed from PoP.

As for boss fights, don't worry. SoT doesn't have any besides what you listed.

**Barkworm** · 06-12-2007, 02:33 PM

Oooh, don't forget the last boss (which is a complete joke)!

Indeed. But that turned out to be very un-boss like. That's another reason why I think Two Thrones is so much better. Some of those bosses were great, even though they were still few and far between.

**Barkworm** · 06-13-2007, 01:29 AM

The first and the last boss were completely awesome. The ones in between ... not so much.

EDIT: To bring Mecha's question up again, is there any specific challenge or do we just run through?

*Cure* · 06-13-2007, 12:11 PM

The only challenge I could think of would be to like, get all the health upgrades.

*Cure* · 06-16-2007, 01:48 PM

Man, I've forgotten how cool this game is; everything from the fighting to the story telling. He asks "Shall I continue?" when you pause the game! That's so cool (of course, now we know who he's REALLY talking to, thanks to Two Thrones). I haven't gotten the Dagger of Time yet, but yeah, this game is hella fun.

Peanut · 06-16-2007, 03:24 PM

I'm gonna start this afternoon. We should all start on it this weekend.
