I remenber when Lara was digusted for killing a man, ten minutes later she was doing Rambo with no remorse. now she is a full-blown psychopathic killer.
Killing men gets easier each time you kill. And after some time, killing for self defence becomes a breeze.

@@deadshade442 Thank fuck for that! 😂 You sounded like a killer for a sec

(*Correction*) I think in this review I implied that Crystal dynamics Developed the game, it was in fact Eidos Montreal who pulled the duties this time (perhaps with some input from CD), this would likely explain some of the writing and inability to wrap up the previous two games in a satisfying way.
Wish the last 2 games they could work the story more but it too late we all want a satisfying ending to the game but the 3rd game I don’t buy the ending at all
I like you videos but I hate this. I'm kinda tired of people reviewing things and not knowing shit about it. Take the time and do the research. Sure i'm coming off as smug and pompous but, what i'm finding is people consider you youtubers as "experts" on the subject when you're really not. You're just fans of gaming like anyway else. I'm starting to see this all over the place with prominent youtubers.
So maybe its being nitpicky Joe but, Crystal Dynamics didnt make the game. You mention it couple of times but, the reason the vibe is so different is Eidos Montreal made this game and Crystal Dynamics was only there fore consulting. Also you mention the gaming being so heavy on action and combat yet, I feel like its the biggest weakness is how unaction packed the game actually is compared to how intense rise was. I also find Rise to be way better than the original.
I wrote this about 10 minutes after the review and never posted it and I'd like to say thank you for putting out a correction. It adds a huge part to your credibility. I like that you unlike other people own up to shit and it makes me respect you a lot more.
Joe.... Get Hyped for Project Nova!
Different opinion I suppose.. First one is still my favourite one, second one was ok but still fun. Havent tried the third but have a feeling it will be ok as well..
The ending to this game was so drawn out and boring, with it feeling pretty much the same as the first. Story was poor and after Spiderman the facial animation and lip syncing were terrible. Disappointing shit.
Forget which review I heard it on, but someone was saying that they really hope that the DLC for this game is just a campaign of "Here's the route Jonah took" and it's just him standing in elevators or taking some stairs. :^)
Oh god i'd love that XD
Ha would be funny if it was free dlc
That would be a hillarious story. Make him weaker than Lara, gives many stealthier mission, give many hillarious jokes and 4th wall breaking about how impossible level construction is and end it with him finding more easier way to travel to meet Lara in exit place...
The funniest scene was after Lara murders everyone at the oil refinery, Jonah just came out with a face saying sup as if he was on a stroll the whole time lol
I'd pay $5 for that.
other joe needs a raise lol

This game was kinda dumb with how Jonah was ALWAYS just around the corner for Lara somehow. Lara at one point ends up in the jungle all alone with no weapons and has to sneak her way to an oil refinery, taking down dozens of men and even going on a killing spree when she thinks Jonah is dead.
Then when she's done, standing in the mud and rain, he just calmly walks up to her, almost like he's saying "what's up, Lara, why you so sad?"
And he never shut the fuck up bro like he was the cutscene every 2 fucking seconds
Sounds like a cry baby, man child nitpick.
If you don't go in the sewer you don't get any delicious sewer pickles. Missed opportunity.

7:15 they're storm troopers 😂. Everyone knows only Lara Croft kills Lara Croft.
Right? They should just throw hard floors at her from really far away.
not true i died plenty of times from trinity, jaguars, jaxiil(i think they where called) and cult of kukulkan :) fortunatly the autosave system saves often and at critical places
Wrong thread if you see that...
Strobe vs flash
That scene was embarrassing tbh these guy can’t aim for shit
The creatures were by far the most intriguing aspect of the story. They genuinely creeped me tf out. I got serious decent vibes in that section. I wanted to know more. With this trilogy being done I hope to see more tomb raider in the future. Maybe something that is a little closer to its roots. Not precisely the same but it would be nice to see classic fearless Lara back again.
Man, those creatures creepers me out in that tomb..
And then I was watching the cut scene saying 'Yooo, who's Ms fine-ass.... Oh, nevermind lol
Reminds me of the ending of uncharted 1
you mean the yaaxil and their leader?
Yes I loved the creatures and their lore really intriguing stuff that sadly was only a little bit explored. I think Andres Lopez and his expedition are even more intriguing but they only flesh it out in about somewhat in the documents you collect and it’s barely mentioned in the story. Also they make references to the real life Percy Fawcett in documents and created a fictional story for him which I thought was really creative. The designers really put a lot of world building behind this game but they probably should have put a little more of that passion and thoughtfulness into the main story as well.
The story was so f ing boring in the reboot trilogy. Shadow was so bad i never finished it. From sheer boredom. rise was okay. The first one was my favourite but still bland. I can’t wait to replay the legendary trilogy remastered next v

12:51 hahha 😂😂😂 nice training day reference!
Ranton is here, love u both, but ranton is my most favourite guyyy on RUclips❣️
"That look good!" still cracks me up every time.
Hi Nathan
DAT LOOK GUD
"2016 muthafukaaaa" 😂😂😂😂😂 one of his best reviews Mafia 3
"we all want to see her guns"
It’s funny cause they gave her bigger guns on her arms
True
*Shows a busty Lara on the screen*
@@davidf2676 definitely glutes
But she is suppose to be athletic and have a physique so I don't see the complaint from masculine games
No just here Nice ass
"Lara by now is a pretty efficient killer" - I'm quite impressed by her now moves. Stuff I'd expect from Snake. Pretty cool.
15:35 that's what makes Angry Joe's reviews worthy
Agree expect his movie review just saying
2 review in 1 week? That should shut the haters down for a bit.
Hell yeah! shoved it in their throats! Suck and swallows haters!
NFStyles We love you Joe!
“Joe you haven’t done a review in 5 seconds! Unsubscribe!”
Fool- the haters never shut up.
To be fair, there are a lot of games worth reviewing coming out. You don’t have that in the summer.
Is it just me or does Joe seem to be extra happy lately? Haha I can't explain it but he gives us an extra sense of positive energy Imo.
No Youre exactly right! Its probably because Joe and other Joe made it official.
Him and Other Joe finally came out to the world as a couple
Brendan Wright r u serious?
I agree he seems much more happier, I love this new angry Joe, I am glad he took a break
He is a dad now
Agreed, Story really goes down he drain after finding Paititi
Enjoyed the game until then, after that it was a collection of cringe and facepalms
The oil refinery is the best bit in the game
Oh btw was really shitty in the game is the checkpoint if playing on the hardest difficulty
It just bored me
I just got annoyed with this watered down mess halfway in.....Story is utter shit, no villans, item collectibles are generic. Puzzles are good but whats the point when the narrative is nonexistent
@@keenai5652 yeah the game is fucking boring. I force myself to play it but only for the graphics at this point because they are nice to look at. But I've no interest in Lara's story at all. Also the puzzles are fucking boring and glitching. You get no real sense of accomplishment. Most of the time you're like "yeat it is a tomb raider game but this shit is just insane". Also most of the puzzles made no sense. Like an entrance covered in wood and you have to light it up to burn. To burn it you need to provide oil there via some weird contraption. First of all why can't I use fire arrows to light up the oil? xD and second of all this "burn the wood entrance" makes no goddamn sense. And they even have some immersion options in the settings and then there is this shit which breaks it completely.
For those who just downloaded this game for free on ps plus:
Too many spoiled scenes in this video. Be careful.
Thank you for the warning lol. I just wanted to see if joe approved this game...seems like he does
Lol good heads up.
Yes! I’m almost at the end and it’s great! Very much like uncharted. I’m gonna have to but the previous 2 now.
@@Voltasaur First one is the best one. Story in 2 is hilariously bad. Good game tho
@@Voltasaur Rise was free back in July 2020 so maybe you already got it. I've seen the first one go down to 3$ which is a bargain
Dang it feels like the Spider-man review was yesterday. AJ got these reviews pumping out quick now!
Good. But there's also more games than movies coming out right now and we'll get a lot more in the next 3mos MORE than the rest of the year cuz most games come out around Sept thru Nov for some reason like clock work instead of finishing games they're rushed out but I digress. Now it's also cuz of the community backlash from last couple yrs where we didn't get but rapid fire non angry reviews for all the biggest games! If that happens again then it'll really hurt the ch a 3rd yr now. But if he manages to get all the major tripleA games an angry review this yr then we'll be a happy audience again. I'd just hope that the games take priority over the movies. If there are any to review in the next 3mos nothing I'm aware of gamers would be interested in idk what marvel movie is next lol. CAN'T wait for infinity war2 omg
Finally doing his job amrite
Sure would be nice if he went back and actually game Monster Hunter World a real review instead of foisting it off on Del...
Kronickillness Nikolaos nah i doubt it because have you seen his movies reviews view count now it’s catching up to the angry game reviews now
He don't give a fuck about Monster Hunter that's why.
2 reviews back to back? Is this the Angry Joe redemption arc?!
Karakuioshi I mean it was a dry summer. What else was he going to review?
Karakuioshi I mean he only plays good games to review so he really isn’t helpful anymore
He needs to mention his merchendaise, so there you go :P
That’s what happens when games start to release. It happens every year
NyQuiiL Cold & Flu plenty of games he never had to time review last year he could have done
They did the double guns at the end of the first reboot
Was starting to feel like I was the only one who remembered that
They should have been standard in the sequels though.
Just a 10 second fan service to remind us what game we're playing. I imagine their voices behind it like "you're playing TR we promise, see look!"
I just felt like if they maintained that she didn't carry the 2 pistols in the game, at least near the end they could've added a scene where she picks them up, not specifically those iconic pistols, just any dual pistols that she gets, maybe Jonah throws one and she catches it and you get to play her like she's at her most OP for a short time.
AngelKikoken I agree. Those double pistols are one of the most iconic aspects of the character and to not be able to use them at least once for combat in the new trilogy sucks. Not giving fans the ability to play the rebooted version of Lara in any of her old costumes (and instead only puts in the old pixel skins that says they are only fashion over function 🙄) or her dual pistols takes us away the icon we know and love from the beginning.
"we all wanted to see her guns"
yep!
Angry joe reviews have a lot of passion behind them.
Brightens one's day.
Unlike a lot of AAA titles lately
So true!!
I appreciate his old school views to call things for what they are 🙂
especially if a developer or publisher is trying to get away with something they shouldn’t
lol "Im not going in there, there could be clowns."
Come over to this side, Joe! Float with us!
"Hi ya, Joey!"
(Comes down in price ) 21:17
boy we got it for free on PlayStation plus
PS I love Tomb raider
@Reloaded Past if you enjoyed the first two, you should have no problem playing this one. I got the definitive edition on sale and it was so worth it. You spend more time exploring than combat for sure but I feel it makes the world lore and actual history way better. Only pointers are rare lighting texture bugs and you should wait till you get the shotgun or lockpick to start backtracking as it's kinda metroidvania in terms of collecting.
13:50 yeah... and 5 minutes later she have a crying crisis... this version of Lara is so bipolar... her actions during the gameplay dosen't match with her personality. The graphics are awesome, the gameplay is fun but the characters and the story are ludicrous.
Damn, two in one week? Who are you?
I'm gonna guess he has been making up for lack of reviews lately. Maybe having to do a lot of that kickstarter for the street fighter miniatures game and having to get new merch before letting them release
Mannnn just commented the same thing
He’s Batman
F. N. Lorter what’s more crazy is how he finished the game so fast
A guy who reviews games. So it really shouldn't be surprising when he reviews games.
Never seen an angry review come out so soon after launch. They've been working hard.
DragonFire Studios "Working" "Hard"
But both games were short though
DragonFire Studios
“Working hard”
🙄
Yeah, working hard is the correct thing to say here. If you don't think a fuck ton of work goes into something like this, fuck you.
JEFFREY
What exactly do you do? Do you know how hard you have to work to sustain a channel like this. Stop projecting you unimportant fuck.
I'm convinced CD hates Lara Croft. They reboot her, strip everything fun from the character's design and personality, spend three games turning her into a remorseless killer with weak justifications for killing as many people as she does while also reveling in subjecting her to increasingly cruel and gratuitous deaths, and then just hand the last game over to somebody else like they couldn't be bothered.
Ouch
Ouch
Ouch
@@catalinagatita This.
I mean. Ouch.
This game actually looks pretty good on console
When you dont care for the tomb raider series but love angry reviews so you watch the video anyways.
Exactly. 😎
Uncharted killed the franchise
Funny I'm here for the same reason have never had intrest in tomb raider haven't played any of them probably never will.
same
recently played uncharted 1 and 2. Goddamn 2 was SO GOOD
I can't believe that they still refuse to give Lara her Dual pistols back ans still try to push this bow and arrow shtick, it's like making a Robin Hood movie where he never uses his bow and just runs around and fights with a bamboo staff instead and the filmmakers try to pretend that it's his new iconic weapon. And you can't claim that a bow is a more realistic option, in real life history bows were swapped for pistols for a good reason.
I don’t understand what the obsession with the dual pistols is. If she was going to use them, she would have carried them from the first reboot game onwards, where she used them in a QTE. It should be clear from that point that the developers had no intention of having them ever becoming the iconic version of this version. I dint see what using them has got to do with being angry either, or what this “defining”moment is supposed to be about.
gilgamesh310 because they’re her iconic weapons
Exactly, Lara's dual pistols are just as iconic as Indy's whip or Batman's batarangs, that's why people want to see her use them!
Dual smg it's a better choice for Lara
They’re not norm iconic to *this* Lara. It’s not the same character as the old. I don’t even like the concepts of duel wielding anyway.
haven't been able to truly enjoy a game ever since i started watching reviews...im gonna quit watching them and start forming my own opinions, it makes games so much more fun.
I feel that
Yeah for sure, if you pretend to play them, you should only watch reviews when you finish the game
I watch reviews of games I've finished so as to broaden my knowledge and opinion on them, and about games I expect not to like. This has always worked for me.
Definitively the weakest one of the three. I personally liked the second one best.
I think the first one was the best followed closely by the second one. The third one just had a completely uninteresting story.
Edit: I recently started playing the series again and tried Shadow after about a year since the last time i played it and realized that this game is actually pretty damn good with some epic horror elements that make the game pretty scary as well. My initial statement here about Shadow was way off base lol.
2013 and Rise are esquivalent in quality. Shadow is WAY worse than the first two.
@@tigga2300 got all 3 on the steam summer sale and doing a 3 game marathon. So far I'm about 1/5 I think of the way through rise and TR was pretty cool I rly enjoyed it and for 2013 was way ahead of it's time. Rise so far has me intregued and does a lot for qol and I like the upgrades tied to hunting more and the story seems interesting I hope they continue the franchise with this Lara but continue to innovate, i feel like it can be hard to keep these games fresh as they tend to have the same weapons and coming up with new interesting puzzles can also be a challenge so they should take their time maybe 3-5 years from shadow for Dev time also where TF is the classic Lara outfits come on crystal shouldn't have to mod that sht fr LoL
@@goofball1_134 Enjoy them, they are really good games. And i definitely agree that they should continue this series and inovate more things into it. Devs can do so much with this series.
GoofBall1 _ Just shows that if game companies really want to in 2020,they CAN do an awesome job with their games other than include tons of micro transactions
I feel like the trilogy as a whole is good but at the same time pretty forgettable
Salad Attack x Dead Webb yeh it’s good but nothing stands out about it . being a big tomb raider fan id be bias towards it but eh
It's definitely not memorable
Salad Attack x Dead Webb agreed
The 2013 reboot was good imo. The next two are...okay. Disappointing. I feel like an idiot for buying it before sale.
That's cause it dtiched its unique identity as a platforming series whilst doing nothing new or outstanding to even justify it. It'll be forgotten cause it's just trying to desperately be like other games. It's trying to be something it's not. The series is a shadow of its former self and yes in the long run it's going to slowly die off as people begin to realise that the developer's making these games are just exploiting current marketable trends.
Two reviews within a week? Christmas has come early this year. I must be dreaming.
eurosonly Ikr!!! :)
who els is watching this now that the whole trilogy is free on epic games store. . .
This was what Ghost Recon Breakpoint thought it would be.
Basically in the Trilogy, Trinity is Team Rocket at this point lol.
its not innovating anymore - 90% of AAA Game Development in a Nutshell since 2013
Most of AAA is only innovating in ways to fuck us over with microtransactions
This is Metal Gear Boobies
Dehumanize Damn right
Well at least the lack of innovation hurts here cause it never had an outstanding formula, it had one that needed severe changes(albeit nice enough for the first game) but it saw only mild ones.
2013? Lol, it's been much longer than that.
When Joe said "Heal, Heal, Heal" I felt that
Joe can't go one Tomb Raider review without calling "Lara" - "Laura" 😂
And yet for the 3rd game in a row we are upgrading weapons & ablities she should already have,smh
To be fair...would she carry all those weapons around to EVERY location? Like if I survived the first game I wouldn't just keep all those weapons on my person at all times. Usually she is thrust into situations where she loses her equipment. In this one their plane crashes and she only finds her bow I believe. So it makes sense.
G-Whiz she would realize shes always thrown into these situations somehow and start carrying all these weapons lol.
video games
The Arkham trilogy did this very well where Batman would keep a lot of the upgrades and equipment.
Now you know how Metroid fans feel
*Ding our dongs* should make that into a shirt.
Jack Collins I’d prefer “Dat look good!”
"You done fucked it up!"
Godzilla is approaching the generator
Jack Collins whos forcin him to say that. (Subscribe)
I love that this one actually feels like Tomb Raider. There is the Jungle, there are the Tombs, there are more climbing and puzzle sections. I'm a bit sad that this is supposedly the last one. As long as the mechanics and controls are good, I don't really need innovation in a Tomb Raider game. I just need more Tombs to raid.
It had more tombs, climbing and puzzles, but at it's core it was still the same 2 games from before,
that are quite toned town compared old Tomb Raider games.
Totally.
@@charmingpeasant9834 I agree it had to much stealth and combat then I would have liked.
Fair review, Though i enjoy the 2 previous installments more, this one was a good overall game. Some things that bothered me were the reuse of character models like crazy, how crafting the outfits and stuff pretty much was useless because you were forced to wear a specific outfit for most of, if not 90% of the game. The action was dropped down quite a bit from the previous ones rendering the weapon upgrades kind of useless for the majority of the game. The skill tree felt empty (while being huge) and a lot of skills were undesirable. Some of the good ones were pushed onto the outfits. Overall it was decent, and a fair 7/10. As for the dual pistols, one of the designers or directors said that this is the new Lara and was to be associated with her bow.
eLL I would give it a 6/10 tbh the hardest difficulty is pure shit with the checkpoints and the aiming is ass and the character are just dull expect Lara and Jonah still rest is the other characters from the first game again 6/10 just a disappointment even the graphics look muddy as hell
The tomb raider games always get buried by other games. This one was buried by Spider-Man, and Rise was buried by Fallout 4 unfortunately.
Geralt of Rivia Rise was great too.
Tissan Young I didn’t like it personally. I barely liked the first one tbh.
Idk mannn I'm done playing spiderman and was looking forward to playing shadow of the tomb raider but the game is just so blehhhhh
Drat 6767 I regret buying it for $60 tbh.

C'mon Joe, we live in a society!!! ...duel pistols are "iconic" like you said, so in 2018 they can't just be given away in a paid game. Anything iconic is to be sold as DLC :D
Nice to have you back mate!
Yeah I agreed but god damn it why they have to add on DLC
DLC? Nah, that's sooo 2014. Now a days you have to buy a Lootbox
Austin! Sup fam!
It's dual.
Simply Austin unchartead 4 review?
"Those really fun collectables where you turn it around" that Joe mentioned (10:07) are still in this game. You just have to go to the menu and look at them. I mean, the game tells you you can do this every time you find one!
I was really confused with the ending. At first they make u think she's dead but then all of a sudden she's not.did miss something?
No basically yh kulkulkan is a destroyer god he gives you visions so that you can pursue ur dreams but instead if you do pursue it will destroy the world "remake it" domimguez tried to do it and he became the vessel for kulkulkan so he had some powers when lara kept stabbing him with the knife that power got transferred to her. And when she died she killed the kulkulan god as he was inside her not lara if you know what I mean so she didn't die. The ritual was to sacrifice the destroyer god.
9:40 I’m not going in there, there could be CLOWNS 😂
It could be there.
He should have had another friend dress up as a clown just to scare him.
Other Joe is so lovable!
Or Alligator....or mutant turtles....and with no flashlight.
Played the first two but I’ll wait for a price drop on this one. Too many good games dropping !
Yeah I'd wait to but I've already paid for it
on steam the sale starts during summer and $60 will be $20 during the sale. i got all the games on steam literally
yee steam sale the best time to buy games im waiting too
it's a boring game
My thoughts exactly. Its a luxury problem these days. To many good games. To little time. Might as well save money between the games.
The jungle setting is beautiful! The attention to detail in the environmental design is intricate and lovingly crafted. Also love how cinematic it is from cutscene transitions to when Lara climbs through/under obstacles. I really enjoyed the platforming and how the descriptions for the collectables are fully voice acted. On the other hand, the menu design is horribly confusing and the shooting mechanics are some of the worst I’ve ever experienced.
Solid 7/10
idk what you mean by "iconic bow" everyone knows her new signature weapon is that sweet sexy red climbing ax, ALL HAIL THE AX.
Double climbing axes at that
Does anyone find it funny that when a new tomb raider game comes out nobody cares that the main character is a girl, the reason is, is because it fits that universe and doesn't betray the previous installments, that's why this series works and why I'm actually excited to play as Lora Croft again. It doesn't shove down your throat that it's pushing to be a "girls game and how it will empower women." This series works because that's how the world is structured and how you actually care about Loras character, she's not trying to push an agenda, she's just an everyday archeologist who stumbled onto some crazy shit.
TheMossBomb , yeah. Brutally killing dozens of people. That's the one of the biggest problems in all three new TR games. It's not Lara, it's damn butcher, or predator, or Rambo. It's anybody but an "everyday archeologist", anybody but Lara Croft, the tomb raider. So for me there will be only one Tomb Raider trilogy: Legend, Anniversary and Underworld.
Ever since i was a kid i didn't like the idea of a female protagonist so i skipped all the games lol
Yup, its just people trying to create a false narrative that men don’t want to play games with strong women. Lol then why is tomb raider and the last of us so popular?
Lara was always the protagonist, no duh people didn't complain about that. It'd be like complaining you play as Samus in Metroid.
Someone clearly never saw the promo material for 2013.Lara used to be a unique Character and now she's a generic poorly written mess.
I'm surprised OJ is having such a hard time climbing. That spidey suit most have been crucial.
*must
really chafe his crotch
I liked Rise the most out of the series. The first one was great, I just like Rise a lot because of the diversity of the environments within the game. But Shadow was definitely a let down in terms of feel, mechanics, story, and progression.
Very very booring game
I like the game, but I much preferred tomb raider reboot and rise of the Tomb raider. she does get on my nerves with her " I'm the only one who can do it" and " it's all my fault". I also think that on the reboot and rise she had more expression in her face and in her voice acting. I also don't get that she can leap and jump massive crevasses yet she can't always jump up and grab a ledge 2 foot above her.
Sounds like you're a man child.
You know Joe, I love how in depth you go in your reviews. Compared to IGN and Gamespot you spend a lot more time giving an actual good review for legitimately considering a purchase.
Great. Now bring back the dual pistols already!
Wow i never seen angry joe ask for subsribers or ask for support. It kind of just happens because he produces good content. Been watching since 2012.
He must adapt to new crappy RUclips
Obed Blas what massive break tho. this has already been debunked lol
I feel bad for you. pre-2012 joe was best joe. so many reviews. When 2012 came he took a huge break and still (in my opinion) hasn't gotten back to the glory days yet. Still love his channel though
I'm not speaking to the quality of his reviews, although he had many good ones, but am speaking to the reviews in general seeing as his reviews started dipping in uploads. I understood his break at first, but after a couple years he just seemed like he didn't want to do it anymore and was burnt out. Glad he's finding his stride again but post-2012 he started slacking.
New Tomb Raider trilogy is just boring. It tries too hard to be serious and Uncharted-like and it comes off as fake and not genuine.
I hope they make really good Lara Croft games and combine what was good in old ones with what we expect from an action game nowadays.
Make it as beautiful and detailed as Uncharted 4 but give it unique Lara Croft vibe. Dual pistols, backflips and multiple cool locations in one game. Let us go to Egypt, Greece, Mexico and other places in one game instead of confining us to one location.
Lol 1 country per game please, so we can fully experience each one. It would be a waste to just throw away 3 of them
@@Matpermad Lara Croft never stays in one location
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer You literally just described everything uncharted does dude 😂 but thanks for letting everyone know you've never played uncharted
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer I don't know a way to simplify myself anymore to make it easier for your underdeveloped brain to understand. You said word for word that uncharted doesn't have puzzles, tombs or massive jungles to explore yet uncharted has all of those things how can you fail to understand basic English!? Stop spreading misinformation, actually play uncharted 4 and make an educated opinion rather than straight up lie
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer Oh and also it has relics too
I was a new player and i thought it was badass. When i finished i bought the 1st 2 games and finished them in 4 nights. I then replayed shadow on hard mode (which was surprisingly easier then when i played normal) and finished it in a day. These games are now my favorite series EVER. I was kinda disappointed with rise's ending because it felt a bit rushed and unfinished. My favorite part of shadow was when she was enraged at Jonah's death, falls into the water, rises up like a badass and murders the guy crawling away in fear. I may be biased because it was my first game in the series, but this is my favorite.
2 reviews in a week?
Noo!! The *SKRULL* has taken over the angryjoeshow
THE WAH?!
When is the next Angry Review? This ones been old for a few hours.
What
I know who does Joe think he is?
@@bunathan2485 It's just a joke

Lol take shots at those "fans"
I Remember The Rumours Of The 2013 Game Was Supposed To Be Horror But It Got Scraped
I love how conan put it for the pronunciation of Lara's name, "...we all know it's Lara (pronounced Laura) and secretly everybody says Lara and then some prick came along and said no it's lairuh"
Currently playing Rise of the Tomb raider. Kinda was hoping that they would move beyond the plot force of "MY DAD FOUND SOMETHING THEREFORE I MUST FIND IT" thing that the first game had. Not saying it's bad or anything but after seeing it MULTIPLE times (in video games or movies) it gets annoying to the point were I just wanna scream. I hope that after this trilogy they start having her do adventures that are driven by HER lust for adventure. Uncharted did that in the second game and it worked so I see no reason that they cant have Laura say "You know what, I'm gonna go find some stuff because I WANT TO, no one telling me to find it cause of some Secret conspiracy but because I'm the MUTHA FUCKIN TOMB RAIDER AND I WANT TO RAID SOME TOMBS." love your vids joe, keep up the rage
Here's a problem I noticed. They made her a "legend" of some sort. Yeah, the bad guys and the locals knows the name "Lara Croft the tomb raider". "Be careful, she's dangerous," says a bad guys , "Lara croft the treasure hunter" - the kids knows her name.
And yet I play as her and she's still "becoming" the tomb raider.
It is bad. Rise's story is supremely stupid and it can't even play out the cliches in an interesting way.
btw it's Lara not Laura it's spelt the English way because she's English
ironic how nathan drake has a bit of the real lara's personality than reboot lara does.
uncharted 2 was godlike
I also agree: Tomb Raider 2013 is still my favorite of these 3.
It was the best one indeed. Played it multiple times.
Rise is my favorite of the trilogy
Nah
None of these are Tomb Raider games they might as well make this series a new IP cause it has nothing to do with the source material outside of sub-surface level bullshit.
Deanthony Potts rise is trash
This game is massively underrated in my opinion. Loved playing it.
Yeah, pretty much. The 7 dlc tombs as well.
The game is incredible. The further you get into a trilogy the louder the man children and cry babies become.
"I'll take 2 of those please!".Nice reference from the movie! It seems that's the only thing the movie got right and the games got wrong.
I actually didn't know that there was a movie.
My favorite part about these reboot games is seeing Lara squeeze through very tight narrow passages and knowing that the old-school Lara Croft had a couple...features... that meant she could never get through a passage like that.
The double gun part killed me with other joe hahah
I laugh my ass off when other Joe is scared because there clown in the tunnel
*rises with pistol and bow* No! Laura! God Damn it!
His face when he is not trying to laugh haha yea agreed.
I woulda died of laughter if OJ came up in the bit with dual weilding bows
i never laugh at youtube videos but that shit fucked me up lmao
Just had the pleasure of playing this game... AJS is on point with every aspect. Some great aspects, but some MAJOR flaws (akimbo guns). This is why I love this channel - these boys express my exact feelings as I play through any content .. well done boyos!!!
So far playing it’s been an very emotionalless journey and her expressionless face / hair looked totally like a mannequin. Some of the puzzles are simply just pure none sense
I bought it recently and was so excited to play this because i loved the first two.. but so far... im disappointed..
3 times the same game that filled to the rim with sexism. That whats called a more "realistic" tomb raider, im ashamed. Like more realistic? Ok let her whine about everything cause that is how womens are. Dafuq... Totally no sexism her uhugh. But a hotpants, sheeesh, go away you barbarian.
They nailed the atmosphere and music. Everything else is meh
"Ding our Dongs" - Angry Joe 2018
Good job Joe
DAT LOOK GUD
Time for a Uncharted and Tomb Raider crossover
Hell yeah, Nathan Drake and Laura croft multiplayer game.
Uncharted X Tomb Raider Battle Royale Mode.
I would love to see that happen
@@fuzzyapplepie6940 Lara*
I think that cannot be happen since the Uncharted series is a Playstation exclusive, unless this crossover is a ps4 exclusive or something.
Recovering from surgery catching up on all the Angry 😡 Joe Show's Reviews I missed over the past couple of years! These are all friggin hilarious guys, keep up the great f*****g work loving it!
Oh nooo it's an Angry Working Joe!!
“Das sum good mud joe!”-Angry joe
13:25"We all wanted to see her Guns"...True on so many levels....
I am glad a few of us caught that sly commentary.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Don't think i didn't notice you got a better camera for better looking videos, I noticed
I was going to comment the same thing, very nice looking video/camera!
Better looking to Blur Out Other Joe. Lol
I love this game so goddam much. I haven't finished it yet but there have already been some truly great moments. I don't know. It almost feels like people don't want this game to be great.
"It almost feels like people don't want this game to be great." hit the nail on the head.
Everyone needs a friend like a Angry Joe and Other Joe to get Real fun in life
Wow, that Jonah scene looked, or rather felt, genuinely emotional. I'm surprised. I hated the guy in the previous games, their relationship came out so forced.
Anyway, it's good to see you two are getting some sun, Joe. Great review.
Oh, and by the way, if Lara is supposed to be a Spanish name, then Joe's pronunciation is correct.
@dayzgone I wouldn't go that far. But just the fact that I didn't cringe when he appeared on screen is already a nice change. I'll see once I play it.
Lara is based off the Egyptian god Ra, So Lah-raw
Good point, @Hunter Hagelin. Laura is pronounced Lo-rah or even Lo-ruh, so with the 'u' missing from Lara it is Lah-rah. Also, British people seem to say it more smoothly with their accents where as others seem to always call her Laura.
I find it unbelievable that he is still following Lara around after nearly dying in the last game. It isn't like they are childhood friends. Seems incredibly fake and forced.
Pivotkid85 it’s called big crush lol
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is mostly fine, but it’s the weakest of the trilogy. Just feels like it’s going through the motions to a degree, less combat means more downtime between interesting stuff and I found it lacked polish. Rise is WAY better
I disagree this one beats rise by a thousand. In this one there's actually interesting places to explore and discover rather than being in a linear action set pieces 24/7
realy i loved first 2 games and i will buy this one but now im gona wait a little so the price drops i gues spider man will be coming home with me
You still haven't gotten Spiderman? Shame on you
Rise was polished ? Yeah jump in to the water in both and look closely :9 Shadow is the most polished game out of the 3. Exploring is superb and ofc there are more tombs at least.
@@ArkhamJacks whoa I say the first one is the worst. Linear environment and boring story.
15:35 - "PAITITI" lmao xD
I miss the dual handguns. TR 2013 at end of game give you a taste/tease. One of the reasons I prefer the originals, Legend and anniversary because of dual welding. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the reboots but I love those more.
The funny thing is Lara does get her double guns - during the first game! And it's somewhat easy to miss, at least I missed it on my first playthrough. It happens during the boss fight where you kill Mathias (or whatever his name was). There is a quicktime event where you pull your own pistol and then steal his from his belt and go to town with double guns. But it's very short and basically embedded in a cinematic/QTE so I guess it was easy to miss. But I think it was somehow meant to rationalize why she uses 2 guns.
It wasn't that easy to miss as they force you to use it.
Then let me rephrase: I didn't get it the first time, maybe because I most often don't pay attention during QTE sequences or whatever but it escaped me the first time
"There's been a bloodbath here"
I had the same thoughts as you guys. Actually, I was thinking Lara was possibly worse than whatever caused that bloodbath.
You don't have to kill everyone. You could avoid combat.
Stephanie B I’m not complaining, I just think it’s funny
I thought Lara was having a mental break and she killed them all
To me, the first Tomb Raider was 7/10 at most, not 9/10: too much of a third person shooter rather than an action/adventure, shallow tombs and enigms, too much handholding and visual indicators that show you were to jump and climb. The following two games are decisively 8/10, the reboot improved a lot, expanded its contents (particularly the amazing tombs), gave more depth to stealth and exploration.
Just tried it. Compared to the other games there were stretches for me that went too long without any real action, when compared to the other 2 games. It was a poor way to end that trilogy. When it is good, it is really good, but not enough enemy action.
It's Tomb Raider, Dumbo. Not COD. Your elementary attention span is a personal problem, not the game's.
First thing I realized was how damn dope your camera is. I was on 240p at first and it's crystal clear regardless lol
Nobody cares.
@@TobeyStarburst damn bruh
I almost didn't watch the review. I thought it was my eyes playing tricks on me that you released another review so soon.
i was surprised too haha
Angry joe more like speedy joe amirite
That xtra eye expression that Joe makes when he says “Payti-ti!” XD
Have you noticed. Lara only ever kills men.
Dude in like 95% of games you only kill men lol
She's a feminist
Probably because the evil henchmen and monsters are all male...
...
...
...
This was written by a feminist
Cant believe i never noticed this, if this was the other way around the game would never be released.
In the first game of this trilogy, u kill a women...but she is a god
You know the ending from the first game where she grabs her pistol and the villians gun and started shooting it dual weilded? That was an most epic fan service, I wonder why they didn't take this as an oppotunity for her to carry 2 gus in sequels now that it has a very reasonable explanation why.
The relics are in this game where you have to turn it around to get more story. They changed it so when you picked it up it doesnt automatically go to the screen which sucks because people will miss it. When you pick it up you have like 3 seconds to hit the option button to look at the relic
This game was terrible, the only good thing about it were the visuals. Tomb raider is not Uncharted.
Yup,its better
I loved the game! and I am still trying to find all the tombs. first game i dont uninstall after the main story play through.
my complaints:
-No double guns (talked about in this video)
-no short shorts option? common shorts are a staple of Lara's outfit ? why has that changed lately? was she raised in a convent ? hell even as a kid she does not wear shorts , what kid does not wear shorts when playing in the back of their house? it is not a perv thing, I just honestly don't know why there isn't an option to bring back the shorts .not even as a DLC, it is as if SquareEnix said "no you perv! you don't get to see Lara's legs!" and I know there are mods .. but common.. mods are complicated and not everyone has the know how to install complicated mods.
-The option of "immersion" to have the locals speak in their local lenguage was done lazily. I speak Spanish, so it is infuriating that the Peruvian locals have Mexican accents and not only that but Peruvians that live in outskirts do not speak like polished high class Mexicans too.,.I am Mexican so it is not like I am Peruvian but I know Peruvians speak, and all the locals were doubed by the same two people (male/female) very mono tone and bad voice acting in general. the people speaking in Native lenguages are using the wrong lenguage. and you can't tell they struggle with reading the lenguage off a script because they speak very slow.. could they not had hired a native Nauatl speaker ?? it seems the back ground voices when you walk around are fluid from natives..Also the programers were worried about immersion by forcing you to wear native only clothing when running around Taitit but Lara never , not once speaks the local lenguage when the option of immersion is enabled.. why have that option if you are going to do it so half ass..also all the main characters speak only fluid English.. even the little prince and the creepy looking assistant.. how hard would it had been after spending millions making this game to hire a crew to properly word natives with correct nauatlh (again wrong dialect for the local incans)
-Too many auto saves.. if you are playing the game in hard.. the auto saves should be far and less between , having an auto save every 10 seconds of the game makes the hard difficulty academic since you can just keep on trying that jump. In the original Tomb raider dying meant being sent back to the beginning of the level. That should be the case in the hardest difficulty.
-limited crafting options.. this game would had been really cool if the crafting was a bit more elavorate..also.. there is no reason to switch bows or weapons, once you get the ones you like all the other bows and weapons collect dust since the differences get tinned out after upgrading them.
-Bonus attached to certain clothing options:why ?? There are outfits that I like better, but I have to wear boring outfits for the bonuses... can there be a way to have the clothing separate from the bonuses so I can have Lara wear what I want?
-No need to use focus mechanics.. Honestly ..it seems like a chore.. and the bonuses it provides makes the game too easy. even in the hardest difficulty.. maybe if less auto saves were offered it would have a more significant impact...
-I know Lara kills people for the sake of gameplay and to make it fun.. but honestly she went from explorer with the random (I have to defend myself)human encounter to flat out special forces/Rambo killer in a few games.. Lara used to be an explorer. now she is psychopath killer.I mean all those random Incan/Aztec warriors that she kills are for the most part miss-guided by trinity and could be spared. in their mind they are just serving kukulklan.. Lara is leaving a lot of families without their father..
Anyhow I loved the game but sometimes I wonder who makes these decisions..
And I wish there were female enemies to fight cuz killing the dudes is kinda getting boring just saying
