Poll: Has Square Enix Enticed You with Rise of the Tomb Raider PS4's Extras?

Nope

If I buy something at launch is the Artwork edition, depending on price of course. If it is expensive I will wait to get the game on a discount.

Not a chance.

Goes to show most people just don't buy full price no matter what.

Only a small percentage of gamers actually preorder.

I won't be buying day one, but I already own the game. I will be buying it though, down the line.

No.

No 400 Magikarp DLC no buy.

I am genuinely baffled by people's attitudes.
I will be buying this as its a great game, I don't own an Xbox so how long it's been out on that system and the Xbox game price is irrelevant to me.
I'm not the least bit interested in any perceived or actual politics concerning exclusivity deals.
The world is a scary place at the moment with very serious issues and I certainly don't count gaming amongst them.
I view gaming as enjoyment and escapism and this is obviously a very good game so I will buy it at launch.

@JaxonH Or we don't want to support like SQEnix.

_{Language -Tasuki-}

@Serf How dare we not accept being treated like dirt for over a year.

@DaveIsAnAceGamer
Ya, such evil horrible Square Enix put one game on another system before yours.

How dare they the evil bastards. They should grovel at your feet and beg for forgiveness- they've mistreated you so horribly

/s

@JaxonH I own every system so I've played it on PC, it's trash.

Also never once called them evil, just not supporting them, I remember companies treating me like filth and put them on my s**tlist.

@Grawlog All those games that I'll get pre-owned

cept XV cause oh my god are those demos god awful

@Grawlog
Perfectly ok with preferential treatment and exclusivity deals, as log as he's on the receiving end.

@Grawlog I've never supported Activision so nothing to boycott, I'mm fine with exclusive deals but not when they pussyfoot around and leave fanbases hanging.

Least with SFV they made it damn clear it'll never come to Xbox One. Oh and before you start "guess it's only when Sony do it you'll support them".

I supported Bayonetta 2 and DR3, this game however can get completely and totally f***ed

@JaxonH Only issue with that, I'm on the receiving end no matter what, shouldn't Xbox fanboys be off on IGN or PureXbox?

I might just because they company behind the game does not have a long track record of releasing games that are broken. Games that some say suck yea but games that just dont function right like Fallout 4 I know I live Faloout always have but on ps4 Fallout was and in alot of ways still is broken. So I think the Tomb Raider will do alright. One last thing what is everyones deal with the box.? I read the articles about upcoming vr games and there was alot of crying about what the game box and packaging looks like. Really? If thats someones biggest thing in the gaming world is what the game retail packaging looks like please stop playing video games and go outside or something. I mean when how the retail packaging looks is more important than how the game fumctions and plays why are you a gamer? For the package?

_{Language -Tasuki-}

Hope much are those extra contents worth?

Yes, we're getting season pass free + ps vr content + limited edition packaging with artbook, I think it's a good value, althought I must admit I like physical limited edition so if tr doesn't have limited physical edition I'm going to wait for a discount on psn.

It suck we ps owner have to wait for new tr since ps audience is the biggest supporter of tr series (the 2013 reboot sold way better on ps system), but I'm sure the sales failure of new tr will make square enix doesn't try this kind of exclusivity again. Beside they give us many exclusive like world of ff, kingdom hearts 2.8 and nier 2 so they kind of redeemed themself in my book

@DaveIsAnAceGamer

Lol, the biggest PS drone I've spoken to in months, calling me an Xbox fanboy? Please. Xbox is my least favorite platform of the big 3. But I most definitely am a fan just like I'm a fan of PlayStation and a fan of Nintendo, because I'm a fan of great games no matter what platform they're on. But that is actually how real fanboys think and behave: routinely labeling normal people as fanboys because they're not as fanatic as they are for their precious console. Basically, anyone not all hot and bothered in jealous fanboy spite like you = Xbox fanoy.

But you go ahead and tell yourself whatever you want.

It's like this group of Nintendo fanboys over on player essence. Always talking crap about Sony, their games, just trashing Sony all the time. And if you dare speak out against that and say hey, you're acting like a fanatic, The whole lot of them will jump on you and call you a Sony fanboy for not agreeing with them.

Kinda same thing you have going on here.

I was planning on paying full price, I love the old and reboot Tomb Raider games.

@JaxonH Lol I'm a PlayStation drone even though I've not touched a PS system since I finished Uncharted 4 and have spent the last 2 months playing Fire Emblem Fates and Danganronpa on Steam.

This clown is an absolute riot.

@DaveIsAnAceGamer
No more ludicrous than you calling me an Xbox drone.

Perhaps you should treat your own words as you do mine. And you'll realize that you, sir clown, were a riot far before I was

@JaxonH You're the one getting so so butthurt over people not wanting to support a game that in no way affects you XD

Also you're the one who started that whole fanboy nonsense clown, it'll be brought back up whether you want it too or not.

I know it's hard for a clown to grasp this but not everyone has money to burn and not everyone wants to support a shady deal ridden game just because you want them too.

Now off you go, back to IGN so you can cry about Sony fans to your hearts content with some of the worst modding in the gaming community.

@Serf +1

_{If your comment is removed please do not repost it -Tasuki-}

No, but these are pretty great add one, will definitely be getting at some point

Not sure Nixxes doing the port is a good thing.

I was most likely buying it anyway. I loved the first one and everything I have read says this one is even better. I honesty don't see why people have a problem with a game like this being full price. Though I think he same with No Man Sky. I don't really why it being an Indy studio means it should be cheaper.

@Grawlog I am a fanboy but im not salty can't wait to play. I was mad at first but we got Uncharted. And if it's a good game who cares the only thing I hate was the secrecy. With games like COD i did not buy it because I will not wait for online DLC with a shooter.

LoL... look at the chart change... people are so easily swayed...

I got excited yesterday and thought I would order at full price but then I thought about it and think I will wait for sales. I think it justifies full price now but it is a bad release window and I need to save up for PSVR.

Tomb Raider 1 was one of the first games I bought with my own i'm-a-big-boy-now money and the nostalgia is strong, but i'm a stubborn bastard and as far as i'm concerned they can go suck a fat one after what they pulled. They lost me to Uncharted.

@johncalmc I was also going to buy anyway as thoroughly enjoyed the last one.

I think people are boycotting because Tomb Raider made it's name on playstation (about 15 years ago) and they decided to make the timed exclusive agreement with MS for money. People find it terrible that a company would do something for money over it's fan and are therefore boycotting it.

Not boycotting the game but will wait another year to buy it. SE has their reasons for doing what they did. Timed exclusives are not good for anyone xbox or ps4 players. I do not know if the game would have been made without the extra money from MS so maybe we should be thankful about the deal if it meant the game got made.

For me the first one was alright nothing ground breaking with god awful multiplayer, so as far as this one goes for me there are better games coming out.

I was always going to get it as a budget pickup anyway, I get most of of my games after a few months grace now. Just glad that it will have a full compliment of extras.

It does read odd to me that people are ANGRY and are comparing their treatment to "filth" because they are playing a contemporary video game at a later date (but with bonus content, so it's marguably better "value" than the Xbox offering.). Us old farts remember late and inferior Streetfighter II ports on the Mega Drive that possibly cost more than the SNES and we were just happy to play the game; "Simpler times".

Not saying it isn't frustrating, but the anger seems disproportionate to the situation at first reading.

Infact, i'd RATHER wait till solo games are reduced or come in a GOTY with DLC for the majority of the time now because for me, the wait is more bearable than the paywall for the full experience.

I always preferred the old classic puzzle games over the reboot but the first game was decent enough. I've heard nothing but good things about this one so I'll be getting it definitely at some point.

TR's suck anyway, it was never one to buy for full price anyway for me, but if I was intrested and as long as it come's with EVERY piece of DLC then I would pay full wack for it. Hate year exclusive's though it's just company's squeezing as much money out of people as possible, a trend that has turned our beautiful world into the crap hole it is today

I never pay full price for a game. There are so many games to play you have the time to wait. This game will be $30 or $40 before you know it.

Might get it when it's going cheap. I got a bit bored with the previous game and never completed it though so that does create an extra barrier for me.

Too much killing groups of bad guys, not enough puzzle solving like in the originals. Story seemed good though so tempted to give it another chance.

@Neolit You've certainly a lot more knowledge about the whole ordeal than I have with some decent facts and history to it all! I'm relatively new to it all so my views on it don't take it's history into consideration really. I'm glad some people in this comment section can present their views in a non offence manor

@JaxonH not entirely true, its a year-old game. Don't forget about that, people is upset.

@Serf genuinely puzzled why my comment was removed?
Won't comment again. Cheers.

The extra content's nice but money talks...

@belmont £44.99 for the Art Book edition

I'll get on release and would have without the extras. As for this boycott trending here, remember when we used to get games well after the Japs and US anyway as standard? No?

Honestly Uncharted 4 was pretty much the perfect globetrotting adventure game, and as much as I loved the reboot Tomb Raider I wasn't that interested.
But it seems like Square isn't pushing it out for a quick buck, but bothering to add to an already good game, so consider me interested/

I wouldn't ordinarily hand any money to Game, but I will in this instance, for a used copy.

@Neolit "Soon enough Tomb Raider became synonymous with PlayStation. For the younger push square audience: What Uncharted is today to PlayStation, that was Tomb Raider."

I can see where you're going, but at the same time, your analogy as a whole is slightly uneven. Just because a brand became synonymous with another, doesn't automatically make it that other brand's property, thus meaning entitled to special treatment. Uncharted is developed by a subsidiary of Sony and as such the only place you'll ever see an Uncharted game is on a Sony system unless they do something crazy and sell the company and it's IP. Like you said, and I'm well aware of this as well, Tomb Raider started life as a multi-platform game, as such could probably go anywhere as it pleases. As a matter of fact Tomb Raider (at launch, not the re-releases) has been on a number of platforms throughout the years, released on various consoles. With the exception of TR2, the series has seen it's release on Sega consoles, until the Dreamcast's demise. As a gamer that's not tied to any one system (well Nintendo has a special place in my heart, but that's irrelevant to the discussion ) That's how I see the whole thing.

Also, we don't know the specifics, Square Enix could have very well went to Sony first and and asked for finances, and they could've been, "Nah, we're good. We already have a game like that in our portfolio and it's called Uncharted" Not to mention, Sony may have wanted to lock exclusivity, So they went to MS. That's all in my head cannon, though. Ha.

Though I see you, as evidenced by your posts, that you're a stand up guy with decorum and you would have that same stance no matter what system it was, so really I'm not knocking on you. My stance just happens to be that deals happen like this all the time, so it's not a big deal to me, and people shouldn't feel slapped in the face, because they didn't what they wanted when they wanted. At the end of the day, these entities are businesses and they follow the money. If MS gave them what they needed to make the game they wanted, then I can't be too mad at that.

And that's not to say I don't understand the consumer side, I just hope PS4 sales don't suffer so much, because people refuse to buy it, that they confuse consumer's discontent about how everything played out with "I guess they don't want another TR." That's the part that sucks about voting with your wallet, particularly in the video game industry. If you buy the game in swaths, then they think how they handle business is okay, but if sales suffer, even an iota, they think in the other extreme

I'm not paying full price for a year old game like this no.
When it hits the sub €20 range I might pick it up, but certainly not sooner.

@FullbringIchigo That's great, yet for some reason they charge more in euros (60)
https://store.eu.square-enix.com/eu/product/413553/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-20-year-celebration-ps4
The artbook has me almost sold but I may wait a bit before preordering.

Whatever peoples stances are on the game unless it sells in good numbers at a decent price it probably will not get another sequel.

Square Enix is pricing Rise of the Tomb Raider to fail on PS4. They can dress it up like a new release or a premium edition, but we all know it'll be an almost year old title on release and most everyone is only interested in the main game. The PS4 version will be discounted to $25 by Christmas.

@dryrain Tough, they should've considered that when they sold out

Still got Witcher 3 dlc to play, fallout 4 to finish(if I stick with a character and don't get creators remorse), Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 to get average at (never mind good) so I'm happy to wait off for a price cut.
If Square Enix had pulled a similar stunt with Deus Ex, I'd have also held off on the purchase but they haven't so I won't.

Nope. This game will be heavily discounted by Christmas. I will probably buy this sometime after the new year. Sorry SquareEnix. You were in no hurry to sell me this game last year, so I'm in no hurry to buy this year.

Probably not. I'll wait til Christmas and see what happens.
If it hits USD25, then I'll reconsider.

@Tabi_zmttns LOL, the perfect remark.

Eh, I'm not bothered about the game.

@Neolit thanks for your support, but...

I was and still am annoyed.
I simply asked politely why someone felt that they had been treated like dirt. My question was removed with a warning that I shouldn't repost a removed post. I didn't.
I asked the question, noticed a poor autocorrect and changed it within a minute or two. I am a polite, middle-aged man with a lifelong interest in games ever since I received a 48k spectrum with atic atac and jetpac.
The post that I felt was too extreme and I was simply questioning remains, but my polite question was removed without any explanation whatsoever.
I have enjoyed pushsquare and have always trusted their reviews and enjoyed the educated and polite debate, with a range of mostly well-educated viewpoints.
Thanks again.
