Except those were the things I said weren’t nitpicks (though I lumped it under “camera”).

You’re right, I don’t; I can tell that you went in with the pretense that you were going to hate the game anyway. Your subsequent responses have confirmed that further.

I love wannabe psychics (especially when they pull out their psychic predictions as some pathetic kind of ‘trump card’ when they want to yap-yap-yap at people with opinions they don’t like). I’d also love to know how my ’subsequent responses’ ‘confirmed’ anything about my SINISTER AGENDA, considering they purely express my disdain for you — camera behaviour and reliable controls are ‘nitpicks’ in a game all about clinging to precarious ledges? That’s comedy.

It’s not scoring higher because of all this in my book for sure… :(

- huge, I say HUGE camera issues
- not that great level design this time around
- collision bugs / issues, sometimes controls won’t respond comfortably to the situations
+ visually improved over the last game
+ it’s Lara, what’d ya need more? Yay.
+ story is pretty interesting, more so than the last 2 games

It suffers too much from the camera and collision issues though as it directly influences the gameplay. Sad!

Dynamic music systems that use Midi are easy. Dynamic music systems that use recorded live ensembles, a completely different matter.

“Thought not.”

Core hasn’t been doing the last few Tomb Raider games, they were folded before legend I think. Crystal Dynamics(of Gex fame) is doing the recent TR’s no. I’d honestly love to see another Gex. Just an FYI.

I thought Core Design took over from Crystal Dynamics after Crap of Darkness.

When every issue except the camera one was a nitpick anyway?

Thought not.

IDEA! How about two demos – one with all the trimmings: full score, high-quality voiceovers, flashy dev logo videos, and all that… and another which has had all the crap trimmed for a quick and easy download. No spoken dialogue, just subtitles, a single jpeg for logos, that sort of thing. But the playable content will be the same in both.

As if by magic…
