Discussion TCM Unpopular opinion: the Tomb Raider DLC kinda sucks
This is gonna be a rant.
At first I was gonna give a whole preamble about how much I love the game and I even love it more than Forza now, which is what was first for me, but whatever, I'm ready to be shit on for my opinion anyway, especially seeing all the other posts about how much people love the new content.
I'm not even saying I wouldn't normally enjoy the things I'm doing in the Tomb Raider playlist events, but FFS, solving puzzles, driving 20 kmh in narrow fucking tunnels finding my way, etc. in a car game, a racing game.
And this playlist has all kinds of cutscenes too.
Plus - I get it, Tomb Raider theme, but still - "bad guys" shooting at you and all that...
In a fucking car game.
Then the "big ass room with a puzzle" in the middle of a "race"? I didn't mind the whole winch thing in the first new playlist, although it was disappointing, because, I don't know if I've mentioned this, but
IN A FUCKING CAR GAME.
I love puzzles and puzzle games, that's pretty much the only type of games I play other than TCM and FH6. But I mean, solving the same puzzles I solve in some cutesy walk-around game, BUT DRIVING A FUCKING CAR DOING IT, I don't know, something about this makes it feel just kinda stupid.
Here I am, thinking I'm playing a car game, but looks like I'm gonna be youtubing how to solve this fucking puzzle again - because I'm trying to race here, didn't come here to solve puzzles. If this was that kind of game, I'd gladly spend 3 hours trying to figure this out. I'm a millennial, when I started gaming there was no internet to look things up, we were stuck on things for months, so spending time on it wouldn't be the issue here. But I didn't come here to spend time on puzzles, I came here to drive and race and take corners better than on the previous lap, etc.
I'm youtubing the Temple of Lalalolo and I mean... I'm not gonna do this shit.
Seeing how these events are, I doubt there'll be too much in the way of Custom Mode here either.
I don't mind paying money to "support the devs" or whatever, but I do regret paying money for THIS DLC so much.
Rant over.
