In reply to torrencedavis. The games have to get my interest first, doesn't matter what system they are on. Rocket League is a perfect example of this. It's a game on PS4 that I had no idea existed until you told me about it. Why? Because it isn't the type of game that I care about. If something that catches my interest on PC ever comes out, I will know about it. So far this hasn't happened. You know the types of games I like and those are also found on consoles.

I just wanted to prove that Tony doesn’t really know what exclusive experiences are in the PC realm, so how can he comment on them? There are a lot, probably too many for him to even keep track. It just pains me to read, “There’s nothing on PC I wanna play” or “If it’s a big enough game, I’ll find out about it”. But as I told Tony last week, I’m giving up on this. Manny summed him up pretty well.

I’ve played Tomb Raider games since the very first one on Sega Saturn. Tomb Raider was clearly about finding treasures in tombs and solving puzzles. It’s evolved since then. Tomb Raider Legend came out an entire year before anyone knew what Uncharted was. Watch some of the game play and you tell me which game borrowed more. https://youtu.be/DY000elVYHw?t=339

In reply to Final_Stage_Boss. "Tomb Raider clearly isn't Tomb Raider anymore"

In reply to torrencedavis. True, but I don't know if you've ever played the old Tomb Raider games but they were nothing like the rebooted Tomb Raider today. Tomb Raider clearly isn't Tomb Raider anymore, it's an Uncharted clone. So that says to me that Tomb Raider borrowed more from Uncharted. That Tomb Raider ice level at E3 looked like the ice level from Uncharted 2.

In reply to Final_Stage_Boss. Uncharted borrowed more in terms of solving puzzles but Tomb Raider borrowed a lot of the cinematic action from Uncharted. But it's also just a sign of the times. TR has had years to develop and change where UC is still fairly new.

1. People seem divided on whether or not The Last of Us should get a sequel. Some people think the story and ending was too good and shouldn’t be expounded upon, but others think there’s more story to tell. What do you guys think?

2. I’m not into the game streaming fad. I’ve never had the desire to stream my gameplay and I don’t understand the fascination with watching others play games instead of playing a game myself. Do you guys like to stream and watch other people play games intead of playing yourself?

3. Which game borrowed more from the other between Uncharted and Tomb Raider?
