Huh, this game is free on the Games for Gold thing on my XBOX, and I think the grenade rampage was enough to convince me it'll be worth a playthrough.

kalonZombie posted:Funny thing is I'm very rarely lacking in grenade launcher ammo. As long as you keep looting corpses and ammo crates, you'll have a steady supply. Yeah, once you get the loot upgrades, you shouldn't ever really be hurting for ammo. You won't be able to use the grenade launcher as your exclusive weapon, but you can use enough that it's a real weapon. Not something you save for the bosses. Same idea with the normal weapons, you can run out of ammo if you're exclusively using one weapon. But if you have two 'primary' weapons, you should be able to collect enough ammo to keep up and still have fun with your favorite gun.

So Roth's gun runs out of ammo and he can't shoot the axe-thrower, so he turns and takes the axe in his back to protect Lara. Fine. Then he turns around again, pulls out a second, loaded, gun, and resumes shooting. Why didn't he pull out the second gun instead of turning?

Also Lara was in the way, since he was hugging her while that gun was in his front pocket.

I suppose getting shot by your own cult leader is a good motivation for fighting someone who has a grenade launcher and the will to use it.

One might think it would be a good motivation to shoot said cult leader, really. Especially when he's only got a pistol and the grenade launcher is being wielded by an immortal fire elemental with a bodycount in the hundreds after a couple of days of fighting.

Ahem the salvage is not used as cost but is how much you would need to go through to find the parts you need. At least according to the pre-release PR about how you totally weren't buying upgrades. Whitman was such a obvious betrayer I was convinced it was a bluff my first time through the game especially after Lara caught on.

He's played so straight as the betraying jackass you end up convinced that the writers must be planning some clever reveal later on.

limited posted:It's like several folks pointed out something similar when the game was first released. Mostly about how chests in ancient tombs undiscovered for generations have pieces for modern automatic weapons in them. I always liked how, in Skyrim, you could be the first person to visit a tomb in a thousand years but it would have fresh lettuce in it.

On the "Wolves fetching grenades" thing, there's a scene with almost precisely that, only replacing dire wolves with a giant Nazi robo-dog, in Wolfenstein: The New Order!  When I heard that quote I couldn't think of anything else.

When I encountered the wolves in the cages I honestly wanted to go hogwild with the grenades but I was afraid that it would just release them.

Why did they put loving muzzle loaders on the deck of their suspended cargo ship??? In another ship related note, that's a biiiiig WWII wreck there. It resembles no existing ship class but it's size makes me think it's supposed to represent an A-150 or a H-class, Axis designs that never got built for being impractically huge.

Today Dex01 of VNDLP fame joins me in talking about Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider related things as we explore... well, a bunch of areas, but mostly that forest we just left. Dex currently has a Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts LP going on, and he's helping me talk over Wind Waker as well. Exploration 3 - Lara's Dex is 18 ... Youtube ... Polsy

Lara has at least two more gun fights after she shoots the first guy where she's all "you don't have to do this", then she moves onto quiet acceptance, then she gets her murder lady-boner. That is totally a character arc for an action hero and at least one arc more then most of them get.

I guess Lara knows how to read German. I wonder if they intended the Russian brothers to all have their own boss encounters at some point?

So, has there ever been a game where enemy goons are having a conversation and just don't mind if one of them dies in the middle of it? I mean how would that even happen? Would they just keep saying their lines, as if the dead person replies? Or would the survivor just end the conversation, without any reason he would know of? How does the greatest game of all times: Watchdogs handle this?

I imagine that in Watch_Dogs, the person talking to the other person assumes that they are being ignored and decide to ignore them right back. Then they get a bullet through the skull.

In the defense of Alex and Lara's "romance", that was less Lara having a sudden love interest and more her going "I'm going to miss you." Remember, in Europe, kissing isn't just romantic. Heck, it's not always romantic in the USA, either. But her kissing him on the cheek was more of a farewell than a "I just discovered I loved you" thing. I still can't take him seriously when he's trying to be an action hero while wearing that shirt, though.

There's also the fact that according to the game's writer (Rhianna Pratchett, daughter of the late Terry Pratchett), Lara's love interest was originally going to be Sam but she didn't think she could get away with it.
