Tomb Raider: Underworld

This game has some of the worst camera controls I have ever seen. I get a headache within an hour or two everytime I play it so I still haven't managed to complete it despite the puzzles being so easy.

Good luck with that. I found that one so boring I never finished it. :rofl:

Yeah, I have to agree. I love me some Tomb Raider, but the camera somehow manages to get worse with every game. I feel like they spent so much time giving Lara realistic-looking animations that they skimped on some important game design elements. Like puzzles. And combat. Dear God, combat. If they can't do it well, I don't see why they don't just take it out entirely. Lara is an explorer/adventurer; the whole game could easily be a platformer. I'm crossing my fingers that the new direction of the upcoming game will resolve some of these issues.

Also agreed. I only forced myself through FFXIII because I heard it was good, but that turned out to be a disappointment, so now my original plan to give FFXII another chance after that is looking a lot less probable. Square has just lost its touch. I used to love them, but ever since they became SquareEnix and went all "World Domination" on the industry, I'm just not getting into their games anymore.

Meanwhile, FF12 is actually a lot better than I remembered. The battle system still makes me want to vomit, but I'm slowly growing to tolerate it.

Storywise, the issue is that they throw us Vann right away, and nobody gives a shit about Vann [even the story, which shifts who the "main" protaganist is], and kind of don't let it be the Ashe/Basch show. :(

About 5/6 hours in, I'm actually starting to REALLY enjoy it, but having to wade through about 5/6 hours to get to the tolerable stuff is an issue. :uhoh:

In all honesty, I haven't played any Final Fantasy's since 8. I was massively disappointed with 8 (and didn't even bother to finish it) and haven't seen/heard anything to draw me back into the series; which is kind of ironic since FF6 is my favorite RPG/SNES game.

FF12 is such a split between fans/players.

Isn't that pretty much true for every FF since 7?
