Is this really what people want from a tomb raider game?

By the way, if anyone is curious about the Scavenger Hunt preorder promo Gamestop is doing, it's pretty simple:

Every Monday, you get a trivia question and a photo challenge. The trivia is always about the game, and the answers can be easily Googled. The photo challenges make you take a picture of something. This week's was "Something that makes music", last week's was a boat (Real or toy), the week before was "Someone you admire" etc.

One catch is that they only permit you to participate in the photo challenges if you add a picture of yourself to your profile. As far as I can tell they don't use this photo for anything and nobody else sees it, but they require it.

Completing the challenges earn you sweepstakes entries for stuff you're not actually going to win, and DLC for when the game comes out. They all seem to be skill boosts. I'm not sure if they're early unlocks or exclusive though.

I didn't get to use the base camp just before the radio tower (Early game, 2 hours in maybe) because it said there were enemies nearby. Do I have to go to a previous camp and climb back there, or does it unlock on its own? I didn't reach somewhere with fast travel before I stopped playing so I couldn't check myself.

Ughhhh why can't there be one loving post-apocalyptic game that doesn't have zombies in some capacity? It's just so drat lazy.

Because the definition of zombie has grown to include like 9 other things.

I like how all climbable surfaces were marked but unobtrusively so. White, flaking-off paint on most things you could scramble up, typically.

In the Lost Adventurer pre-order tomb, part of a plane you can climb has long scratches down it.

Outside of the ropes, I'm having a hard time placing any white fabrics being perfectly clean. The effigies in Shantytown are probably the closest but they definitely have some grime on them.

Maybe not perfectly clean, but a lot of the cloth you need to burn is pretty drat white.

Is there more than one finisher animation?

Also the weapon executions are brutal. Oh don't mind me, just gonna kick you in the face and pump a dozen rounds out of my AK into your chest. :stare:

How do you do those? I always just get the rock one.
