Wow did this suck

It's a sad day when they take a cleverly made, thinking game like Tomb Raider and turn it into yet another mindless Call of Duty rip off. Is there where all games are going? I've had this a day and have already stopped playing out of sheer boredom. It's the same cover and shoot scene over and over and over.

Not saying it's the best game in the world, but......in WHAT way does Tomb Raider resemble Call of Duty??

Pretty much... I've only played a little CoD and similar, but TR 2013 really did feel like an outright shooty game, cunningly disguised as an island survival clone rip-off.
There's a bit of climbing and running, but half of that is automatic. IIRC, I don't think you can even slip off things accidentally or tip over ledges. You just press the jump button and automatically grab the hand-holds (excluding a few climbing axe walls). The rest of it was QTE type stuff.
I know it's intended to be a not-a-reboot, but they seemed to try and change everything for the sake of changing things.

Sorry, but I disagree with everything you said. This Tomb Raider was the pinnacle of all Tomb Raider games and simply the finest I have ever played.

I like this game. No problems with it.
