Default This game is GARBAGE.

I'm disgusted at the level of professionalism put into the making of this game. I'm so sick to bloody death of these video game programming geeks that care more about a set of animated tits that bounce up and down than the smoothness and playability of a game.

The amount of bugs in this game is pathetic.

A. Rain, skeletons, walls tumbling.......the game slows down during these parts as the animation is too busy........WHY NOT FIX THIS BEFORE RELEASING IT.............MORONS.

B. I save at a point with full health. I re-load the same save, I'm back to almost no health and need to take a med pack.....again.

C. Now I'm stuck at the end of the "Brother Obscura" ghost segment. The movie scene has not played, therefore I'm stuck in the room with nowhere to go, nothing to do.


Again I say.......this game is a peice of , and I for one would love to smack the goofs responsible for it's creation in the back of the head with the box on the way back to Walmart where tomorrow I'm DEMANDING a full refund.




Nice work idiots..........I mean EIDOS...........you should be proud.

What a joke.

Damn it. You need to rot in the firey pits of hell. Quit crying. Geez...It's a freaking GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You don't need to get worked up to the point where your about to commit suicide! My gosh, shut up. Like i said, it's kind of new for tomb raider, Give eidos a chance and i'm sure the next ones will be more improved. And once again, it's a game. Don't go crying about it. Try to see the pluses of the game. People can be so pessimistic

Okay, if anyone needs to calm down, it's you. Telling someone to rot in the fiery pits of hell because they're expressing their disappointment with something? Jeez, I don't know what country you come from, but the limited freedom of speech over there must be a terrible thing.


My gosh, shut up.

Why? Should we all pretend to blissfully happy when we're not? Yes, I know it's only a game. It's also $50. I don't know about you, but I don't enjoy throwing $50 down the drain. I'm glad people are complaining. Maybe Core/Eidos will wake up and deliver something that works properly the next time around. I guess you'd be happy with another bug-infested mess for your next $50, but some of us enjoy quality when spending money.


Like i said, it's kind of new for tomb raider, Give eidos a chance and i'm sure the next ones will be more improved.

Oh, how silly of me. That makes it all okay then.
Tell you what, I'll sell you a sweater I knit. It costs $50. I never knit a sweater before, and one sleeve is twice as long as the other, and the design is completely lopsided, and the neck opening is too narrow to put your head through, but hey it's something new for me. And chances are, the next sweater I knit will be better. Maybe.
(actually, I'm being better about this than Eidos was about AOD. At least I'm admitting that my product is screwed up BEFORE you buy it.)

Core/Eidos needs to know what most of us are really thinking and do spmething to fix this mess they made.

Well i disagree with you there-- This game my have some bug--but what does not. The graphics are good--the controls take some getting used to(well im on PC version) and im still leaning now--Iv only played it for about 1 hr--And im sure it will get better-- And plus for the PC version , we can hopefully have a Patch sometime soon.

I think people are all just a little peeved that something they have been anticipating for so long isn't what they thought it would be. It's understandable for people to get annoyed. I urge people not to get frustrated by others complaining and don't take it out on other's. If you liked the game, fine. That doesnt mean everyone has to though

Where did DJDamian get his game? Is he US or UK?

I'm personally buying the PS2 version, so I know if issues arise, it's because of the game and not my PC. However, from all the people in the UK who have played the game I am hearing nothing but praise. People are saying that there are no slowdowns and things like that... I hope they are right.

I'll wait until Friday when I get mine to decide though...

Thank you! A voice of reason amidst the madness!

Oh, and to TRaiderGurl-- you didn't step into the middle of a "name calling war," but you came close to turning it into one. I was simply stating why people had a right to express their disappointment with the game. I don't believe I called anyone a name, nor did I insult anyone here with my original post (certainly not intentionally.) But for whatever reason, my comment seemed to anger you, and so you just dismissed it with "blah, blah, blah," which to me sounded rude, and so I responded.

What about the right to remain silent?

That comment wasn't directed to you. If it was then I would have quoted you.

I agree with you on some level, but people have made every thread a complaint thread. And it's the same thing over and over. I see the same thread 2 to 3 times on this board. I use to come here and couldn't wait to see what the next thread would be about, now I know what the next thread is going to be about.

Indeed. I still think people have to right to express their compliments and complaints freely, I just wish they would do it in the stickied thread at the top entitled "Rate AOD NOW!!!", and allow the rest of the forum to be used to discuss other things. (though I fear it will also turn into a "help me Im stuck" forum which is just as if not more uninteresting to read.)

So far these threads are related and talking about the same things...this is what I'm talking about. If they would just go through the board and post in the thread that relates to their problem then it would minimize the amount of complaint threads.

I DO know what you mean about the sheer number of similar threads, TRaiderGurl, and I agree that it's getting (or has already gotten) out of hand. But I understand that people are really pissed off, and they feel the need to vent, and they want their complaint to be seen. I guess they feel that if they bury it in another thread, their comment will be overlooked.

It'll calm down soon enough, though. People who don't like the game will move on to other things, people who do like it will be asking for hints and stuff (which, as Vida Eterna said, is pretty dull anyway. At least now we get some heated arguments to keep things lively! )

So I have nothing against you saying that the threads should be consolidated (and perhaps you could contact a moderator about that... I think that's something they could do.) My complaint is against the people who say, "Shut up," when someone complains.

Why don't we just have two threads then? One for complaints and one for compliments? Simple enough don't you think?

Im gonna try to translate what she said, but not in a mean way, no offense LaraCroft_TombRaider, i just dont want to offend people. DJDamian is allowed, just like anybody else, to their own opinion.

okay translation of what LaraCroft_TombRaider:

The game wasnt that bad, try to be a little optomistic, it may have bugs, but im sure (if you are playing the pc version) that there will be a patch. If you really want to return it, by all means go ahead, no one should try to push in to one's free will. If you dont like the game, then dont, just dont go so harsh the next time you put some kind of review.

and that fiery hell thing, i just have to say: Arent we already in hell?

okay thats that, bye now.
