Tomb Raider

So I just started the game and it's pretty good. The tombs I have found until now have been mind numbingly easy though. But there are some nice set pieces in the game. Combat feels like the usual tps. But the story is nice and is getting kinda interesting. Overall pretty good game with some nice graphics.

Tomb Raider had the potential to sell five or six million copies, say Square Enix

 

 

Two weeks ago, we learned that Tomb Raider had sold 3.4 million retail copies - a not insignificant result for you or I, maybe, but for Square Enix? A profound financial disappointment. Now the publisher has revealed that its targets for the Crystal Dynamics game in EU, US and Japanese markets combined were at least another one-and-a-half million higher than that.

Former Square Enix president Yoichi Wada told Siliconera: “Game quality and Metacritic scores led us to believe that Hitman had potential to sell 4.5~5 million units and 5~6 million units for Tomb Raider in EUR/NA and Japanese markets combined.

“Of course, we want to hedge risk in budgeting these units directly into the forecast, therefore we base the forecast on 80-90% of the total sales potential of each title. However, it is disappointing that our results fell below these marks.”

In its financial report to shareholders a fortnight ago, Squeenix cited an “ineffective” North American sales team as one key reason for the “extraordinary loss” the company has suffered over the last financial year.

Yeah it's really sad. And it's a really amazing game. I just finished the monastery on fire part and there were some really cool set pieces there. Combat also has a lot of varied approaches.

 

The only problem I have with this game is that trophy hunters will be disappointed with the really bad trophy list, focusing too much on the multiplayer.
