    I can't even imagine how hard this game would be if you don't grab the dodge counters ASAP

    Not very, I didn't use them all that much unless a boss battle called for it

    If you dodge an attack while aiming, you'll come out of the dodge already aiming at whoever attacked you so you can shoot them

    No bonus XP, but same general outcome

    you can also cripple dudes by shooting them in the knees which leaves them open for a finisher

    the dodge counters are much more satisfying though

    I never got the timing right to do the dodge instakill reliably, so I would end up doing the dodge arrow in the calf move three times per guy before the indicator to finish them would come up.

    It got to just be simpler to shoot them four times with the assault rifle to kill them instead. God that thing does a ton of damage fully upgraded.

    Bottom line dudes, is this worth me spending $60 now, or should I just wait. Actually, given that it's a Square game, they'll keep it $60 for as long as they possibly can.

    So far I've put 2 hours into this game and it is absolutely breathtaking in every way.

    Sounds like we have a winner then.

    The only bad thing I have heard anyone say about it is that they wish there were more puzzles, but if that's the worst thing you can say, then it's probably a very good game.

    It's in Redboxes, that's how I'm playing it

    It's cost me about 6 dollars so far and I'm almost done

    there's one in the clearing at the very very first part of the game, where you find the radio.

    Like if you go to the first fast travel camp and then backtrack there to the dead end, there's one there. That might be the one you are missing?

    I'm going to be able to fast travel around everywhere after the end game, right?

    I don't want to be hunting for totems and shit now, I'd rather just be playing the game and worrying about collectibles later.

    Nah, it was the one under the bridge in the second area, finally found it

    Now I'm searching for bird eggs. It's a weird design decision that the items don't stop glowing yellow even after you've looted them

    yes you can fast travel to any campsite after the story ends

    It should be noted you can only fast travel from specific camps, not every camp fire you rest at

    Finished this off tonight
    I imagine I'm not the only one that saw Whitman trying to get in league with the Solari from the beginning, fuck that guy.

    The final climb to the ritual area and the dual-wielding finale? Yeah! YEAH!

    As for the supernatural element, I couldn't really see any alternative as I poured through the documents, and by the end I had managed to accept that this is how this game rolls. At least it wasn't some Professor Layton-esque revelation.

    An amazing game overall, I'm so relieved it turned out that way in the end.
    To be fair, supernatural shenanigans are a pretty integral part of the whole Tomb Raider series. Personally, I'd have been sad to see em ditch it.
    Yeah, I'd heard that, I was just treating the game with a clean slate.

    If I'm hearing nothing but bad reviews for Infinite I'll probably end up getting this instead.

    I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

    I was at 79% upon finishing, I found all of the documents and most of the relics, I don't know if I really care about those GPS caches.

    the GPS caches are super easy because of the maps

    it's the challenges that are difficult to get

    I'm having trouble getting a GPS cache in the Summit Forest

    It looks like I have to go down this cavern slide and then jump at a rock wall in this little nook near a waterfall but I must not have the timing right because I'm not getting even close to the wall when I jump, or miss the jump completely when I get too close to the bottom

    that is what you have to do, and it took me a few times to get the jump right

    That is an awesome little gameplay callback to the first two Tomb Raider games

    Slide-jumping was a way of life in those games

    I know they're easy, but relics and documents had more tangible rewards, and I don't have anything I want to unlock with XP any more.

    Maybe I'll jump back in because of the enjoyable core gameplay, but I'm not immediately driven to 100% the story.

    The GPS caches actually lead to a couple of documents with some (very loose, very vague) hints for the sequel

    Some shadowy organization that investigated the island before Lara's crew got there. "Trinity," which is in the running for the blandest conspiracy group ever
