TRU doesn't look as good as Uncharted but it does look damn nice even if it's missing some of the effects that were present in Legend, like Lara appearing wet when she gets out of water, etc.  The biggest problem with the game though, or at least the demo, isn't the graphics  but the fucking camera being out of position 50% of the time when you have to make a jump. Too many blind spots.

I'm not even a huge fan of the game but you guys seem to hate it SO much that I almost feel compelled to defend it.


aren't you the most obvious closet sfag, like, that has ever taken oxygen into their lungs?

just saying! each to their own - i think you just need to embrace it !

Look, it's all silly message board discussion anyways, but let's be honest here; I've never hidden the fact that I have a slight pro-Sony bias.  That does not mean, however, that I feel the need to troll any other non-Wii platforms.  I give them all a fair shake and, in fact, spend more time gaming on my 360 and PC than I do the PS3.  Over the past six months, the only two multiplatform games I've purchased on the PS3 were Dead Space and Silent Hill and that was only due to the later PC release dates. 

That's really the difference between us, I think.  You go out of your way, day after day, to troll the shit out of Sony and all things related.  That's fine, I suppose, but it seems as if you lash out with personal attacks everytime someone go against that opinion.

With that said, I also understand the whole "internet persona" thing as I myself take part in that regularly (I'm picky, but not to the same degree that my message board posting would suggest).  That could very well be the case here.  I suppose that, for me, once I've met someone in person, I have a different view of how they post on a public forum.  I mean, I've never talked to Prole or Smooth Groove nor do I even know what they look like.  I view them differently as a result.

what the fuck do I do with the second pole?   (besides that)

I wanna love this demo, but it seems like the contrast is way too high (that could be my settings), I keep getting stuck, and dying due to wonky jump aiming.  The graphics are fine though.  Pretty much on par with Uncharted...but I don't hold that game's graphics on a pedestal.

If you're talking about the part where you climb down and kill the tigers and it seems like theres nowhere to go... remember you can do the chimney jump

The climbing animations are neat, but it's weird how she can scale stuff that looks so non-climbable, but to show you where to go to start climbing, the designers had to fashion the most out-of-place looking platform possible. "GO HERE" it screams; I was thinking, OK, even if I go there, there's no way up, so I'll look for an underwater tunnel...

It's the part where you learn about the poles you remove/put into walls.  I found the first one, climbed up, and came to a place with the second one...but couldn't figure out what to do from there.
