I've just watched all of your TRA walkthroughs and they are just extraordinary: graceful, elegant, beautiful. I'm now looking at your speedruns. And I was wondering, I know that this was done a long time ago, but did you ever do any speedruns without using glitches? Do you remember what kind of times you got without using glitches? And last of all, what are you working on now?
Maybe a 20th Anniversary which consists of all the classical lvls from TR 1-5 wouldn't be bad either imo. :P I don't want another remake for any SINGLE old TR however, since personally I think they'll become commercial failures.
? I never understood when playing this after playing TR:Legend just WHY she's so concerned about "blood on her hands" out of killing people. She constantly shoots people to death in Legend, so I guess this game -was- rushed..
But it totally meets the story of the original TR though, which was made in 1996, while the story in TRL took place in 2006. You know, TRA is not the 8th installment of the series, but a remake of Tomb Raider 1.
Plus Crystal Dynamics have changed lots of settings of Lara Croft, including her parents' relationships with her, her childhood experiences, her weight, her height and even her personality (she was a woman with few words in classic TR's, you know) etc.
Ok, I didn't know it was a remake. And the changes too, I'm still expecting a sequel to TR:L, waiting for her to find her mother in Avalon. And of course more background on Amanda would be nice.
Yay, since lots of players complained that TRL was too dumbed-down and extremely simple (especially the awkward puzzles) compared to old TR's, Crystal Dynamics tried hard to upgrade the difficulty in TRA to make it meet the standard of TR1. However, it's still a bit too easier for core fans.
I can't wait for the sequel, Tomb Raider Underworld either. ^^ And they promised the game would be pretty dark, depressing and epic, just like old TR's, which is atmospheric and worth playing.
The only things I didn't like about TR:L was the hacker, who just won't shutup like he was in a movie theatre, and her inability to access the front or back yards in the Manor. The thing I don't like about TR:A is all the useless animal attacks, it's alot better with armed guards.
Imo the combat systems in TRL and TRA both suck. Nowadays' TRs still keep on declining in the game quality (though the 10th Anniversary is much better than Legend). Those stunning sales of TR1 (7 million) and TR2 (8 million) once set the series to top. Puzzles in old TR's totally pissed tons of players off. TR1 is the best TR ever imo. Even played today, the game can still be found much more interesting than those new Tomb Raiders. *sighs*
haha, it's ok. I agree that I get much better intrigue from playing Sherlock Holmes games for PC, and CSI-based or detective games, but hopefully the next Tomb Raider this year will be alot better (name escapes me, just woke up)
Tomb Raider Underworld is WAY different! In TRU, Lara goes back to grabbing ledges with two hands. It's so realistic! She has a different positon when dropping down ledges. She can balance on vertical poles and thin platforms and shoot while balancing! She has pistols intended for shooting underwater. She can kick fragile things to break them, kick enemies and stomp on to small pests. TRU has smaller reticules, which makes it a little difficult to do an adrenaline dodge. I'ts RADICAl though!!!!
Ah thanx. ^^ Actually this could still be faster if you use the shotgun to shoot at Natla's wings at the very beginning. I didn't play that well, well... not so much as a genius, hehe. :P
OMG! You are amazing at this game! How did you beat Natla without getting hurt?! With the adrenaline dodge, I do the same thing you do and she always hits me...
I believe with Natla you MUST jump OVER her, not to the left or right, as her wings can smack you. Other than that, you may not be doing it early enough. I realized this with the T-rex. Happy Raiding! :P
I'm not doing it incorrectly. I'm jumping over her just like the owner of this video, but when I do jump over her, she always hits me. *That's* what I meant.
8 times. :) Natla is not that hard to dodge actually. Just jump when she throws fire balls at you. And when she's gonna rush down and kick you from above, side-rolls can work pretty well. But plz notice that, it's better to start the roller at the moment she's gonna reach you. ;)
poor Lara.. being critisized like that. "A heart as black as mine." Yeesh..
I would be shaking by then if I got to that level. Actually, I don't even think I can get past the 5th level! I was on the 5th on TR1 Sea Saturn Edition. I can't beat the rest because 1.the monkies were freaking me out 2.bats were everywhere
I've used a level-skip cheat and went to the last level. The monster grabbed me by the leg and flew me away.
I think TRA is easier than the original TR. Plus it allows you to select the difficulty. And I promise you'll find the controls much simple to master than TR1 after you play it for several times. =)
And, last but not least, I've gotta give special thanks to two very special friends who are so so important to me - willbe and Jiakai.
Thank you willbe for sending me the genuine TRA DVD-ROM and the Prima official TRA walkthrough as presents from the remote Britain^^, and thank you Jiakai for always focusing on my vids and always supporting me to do this.
And then I wanna thank moxi(飘然而至), MindActsUponMind 007(心有灵犀007) and 7800gt fot their support and some technical advice that they've been giving me during the process of recording these vids.
So uh, this is my last vid for the walkthrough of the 14 formal levels in TRA. I'm gonna record vids for Croft Manor later. And now I just wanna thank some persons that help me through cuz I couldn't have made it without you. First, a lot of gratitude to so many mates that subscribe to my vids such as humblegoddess, louischou, marshymelpi, hotla101 and so on.^^

Wait for Natla to get closer then, cuz if Lara rolls, that indicates you do it too soon.

從英國寄的？真是太有心了
不過我不知道原來Prima的攻略本在英國也有賣的
louischou 4 years ago
嗯，确实是从英国寄来的^^ 其实他也是我过去在古墓丽影中文站认识的一个朋友，是留学于英国的中国人。他是在英国的amazon的Eidos官方网店订购了这本Prima攻略和TRA的DVD，同时他还送了我一份TRL的DVD（当初TRL发行的时候，他在店里买了两份，于是就送一份给我了）。我说多少得付点钱给他，可他还是坚持分文不取。
ilovelctr 4 years ago
另外，他那份TRL是在发售第一天买的，而且是从零售店里买来的，所以是29.99英镑，没优惠。TRA的DVD-ROM和Prima攻略是一块从amazon订购的，这两个一起买可以优惠许多，好像是24英镑吧（现在已经涨价了，当时的具体价格我记不清了）。零售的话，TRA游戏也是29.99镑，书是卖12.99镑。
ilovelctr 4 years ago
看起來在英國游戲的售價和美國差不多
美國一片是賣49.99美金(未含稅)
美金對英鎊我不知是多少？如果是2:1的話﹐那麼其實價錢是差不多的
louischou 4 years ago
美圆兑英镑的比率我也不知道，不过我知道1英镑差不多是15元人民币，1美圆差不多是7.5元人民币。按这样计算的话，是美版便宜，我那个在英国留学的大哥哥也说过英国就是榨钱的地方。= =|

和Natla的最後一戰似乎比舊版的要難多了
剛才注意到你把相關系列的視頻用video response的方式連起來了﹐這樣就有效降低了觀眾錯過的機會了(我也是從兩個星期前才開始這樣組織我的錄像的XD)
louischou 4 years ago
嘿嘿，本来想在全部完成后发信息告诉你的呢（还有croft manor没完成，TRA的劳拉之家是有谜题可解的）^^ 至于TRA的难度......我觉得你玩过后可能会感到小小的失望，谜题总体上来说比起1代还是简单了许多，和4代那是更没法比了。不过和7代比是强了不少，7代简直就是菜鸟级的谜题。总之TRA的古墓气氛营造得还是很不错的，有些谜题虽然不难，但比1代的原谜题更有趣了。
