Shadow of the Tomb Raider Devs "Super Happy" With Sales and Reviews as DLC Wraps Up
- Thread starter RevengeTaken
- Start date
Still think it was off the mark to release it next to Spider-man and on the eve of the incoming heavy hitters of Fall 2018.
I had so much to play by the end of last year I barely even noticed Lara had a game coming out.

The game itself has a 80 on Opencritic which is fine, but all the DLC was hated by reviewers so ehhhhh, not sure it got great reviews.
So what should they do next? Sequel or Reboot.
Personally I think they could do a bit of both like Santa Monica did with GOW or go back to their roots like Capcom did with RE7.

Glad to hear it did well! People worked very hard on it.
I personally did not find it very interesting or fun, but not everything is for me!

Is it the quickest third party AAA game to hit gamepass? Must have been fair flying off the shelves.
It was really mismanaged with the release date and the marketing, but still ended up being a great game.
As for the DLC's - I started playing them and they're surprisingly good! But they're pretty bite sized (45min-1h per piece) so playing them one by one would've been bad, I think.

I liked the game alot, it brought back the cool creepy atmosphere that the first reboot had. But we all know it bombed and the odds of a sequel are slim to none
So? They got money from MS to get into Gamepass lol
You should apply to a job at SE Europe, apparently you know TR performance better than them.
I guess time will tell. Let's see how quickly they announce another TR and what kind of budget it gets.
Or we can just take this person at their word and not call them a liar?
Using this logic BotW, GoW and many, many others are not successs either yet because their successors haven't been announced and we don't know what budget they have.
I liked the game, and loved that it went away from being an Uncharted clone where Lara's constantly getting thrown into set pieces where everything's falling and breaking apart (yea there's still 1-2 of them in there but that's ok).
Absolutely shit DLCs though, they were just tombs with nothing in them with simplistic puzzles even when compared to the base game, 10 mins long at most and meant for speedrunning instead. I don't know how they messed that one up.
Still I think it's time for a proper reboot again, with an older more experienced Lara. Like 30+ with real climber's body (wide shoulders, strong triceps and back rather than just increasing her waistline a bit but still giving her mostly spaghetti arms). And please none of the "Become the Tomb Raider" stuff as that sounded so silly.

That's great but has it sold more than Spider-Man though? Because someone said this will easily outsell nicheman.
They bring up games they're happy with to investors SOTR is one of them, unless you're implying that they're lying to investors.
ROTR and JC3 were also quickly discounted, but they sold many millions of copies and SE continued to praise the performance of those games during record profit years.
I like the game and the DLC, but the completion rates on the DLC are super low for how little time/effort they take to finish.
If they do a new one I hope they lighten up a bit and let Lara have some fun. And add some good DLC costumes and not just eight "dress with different bones/flowers" costumes.

Well don't start going on about 'logic' if you're not going to address all the issues. The fire sale and speed it hit gamepass really doesn't point to a game that had good sales.
Still need to finish it. Liked what I played though and am happy that the team that made it seem to be doing well. Definitely better then Rise but didn't reach the same highs as 2013 for me anyway (loved TR2013)
What would I like next from the franchise?
Honestly another single location AAA Metroidlike (like 2013). A reboot on Lara so that she's fun again. There has been too much guilt/ptsd stuff post 2013

This obsession with how much time it takes for a game to go on sale is weird. It was only 33% off for the standard ed after a month btw, not half -

Fall release games go on sale very quickly nowadays, AC Odyssey was on sale too after a month, and that game has done extremely well for ubisoft.
These days it's typical to see a game at half price in a month.
To look at actual bombs, BFV was half price after a week, Fallout 76 was $35 after 10 days, and Dirt 4 was $39.99 after TWO DAYS
edit I agree with the reply above.

Even though Shadow was a huuuuge disappointment for me after ROTTR, I really hope this series continues in this new direction.
But this person in the OP contradicts that, unless you believe that they are lying. Which I believe to be both unhealthy and unfair, especially when you adopt a 'time will tell' attitude with basically no concrete evidence that this is a lie.
