Bug Infested Tombs.

So as amazing as this installment was for the TR series, I only had one complaint; the bugs.

No, I'm not talking about the annoying critters that latch onto Lara. I'm talking about the constant glitches I faced while playing. While the movement system was upgraded, there were a few times that when Lara was interacting with the environment, she got stuck in place. I had to 'nade myself just to get unstuck sometimes. I also ran into a flock of bats stuck on a wall that I easily picked off with my trusty pistols. Once I even tried crushing a nearby pot and my game froze.

Don't get me started on the camera system, though. I'm just glad that the odd camera angles didn't entirely ruin my gaming experience. While swimming, the camera angles shifted oddly when I was in a corner, causing Lara to turn and look left and right continuously. Not until I rotated the camera out, did she stop this directional confusion.

Anyone else have any strange bug-related problems?

re: Bug Infested Tombs.

I just started the game. But yeah.

I can't believe Lara got stuck in the middle of the ocean in the first ten minutes of the game.

Literally. In the middle of ocean water. Nothing around. I push her to swim and she starts an epileptic seizure and won't move. In the middle of the water, with nothing around her....

re: Bug Infested Tombs.

Was probably the camera-shifting issue I mentioned... it was pretty ridiculous.

But hey, if I have to deal with a sucky camera to get an amazing TR game, I'd gladly take up that deal.

re: Bug Infested Tombs.

Haven't done much of the game after only getting it for xmas, but i really dont like the camera. Sometimes if i'm hanging on a ledge in a small room or something, it's actually impossible to see anything and then i dont have a clue what to do. Especially if it's pitch black, which it usually is, and so i cant see anything anyway lol. Do i jump backwards? Do i drop? Do i jump sideways? Or up? I dont know, because i cant see a damn thing. Usually i end up randomly jumping and then i die.

And not only this, even when i can see the ledge i want to jump onto, sometimes i cant. The camera angle is so rubbish sometimes, i aim towards the ledge and Lara jumps in a different direction and completely misses it.

You may have been out of bounds. You cant swim around in the entire ocean mind. The boundaries are not far away. Then again it may not have been, because they usually push you back.

When I had the problem, it was when during a fight with a shark. I was rotating the camera, trying to find him, but the camera and Lara got stuck for a good few minutes.

re: Bug Infested Tombs.

I was having problems with problems with Lara suddenly having strange seizures in the middle of the sea (in bounds).

The camera is also hopeless. I can sort of get it in the right position but my Dad with not much gaming experience cannot even see where he is going most of the time.

re: Bug Infested Tombs.

I don't understand why some people complain about the camera in this game. I mean, you just have to get used to it, and not touch it in example while jumping on/between the ledges. it basically always auto-chooses the best view..

re: Bug Infested Tombs.

hmm..
Lara got stuck on the Kraken's head in one of the levels.
She got stuck to a tiger.
She wouldn't get off of her bike.
I threw a sticky bomb but it got stuck to Lara?

meh, i could go on all day.
Not to mention the crap camera controlls.

re: Bug Infested Tombs.

you just have to get used to it.

when jumping between ledges, don't touch it. it chooses the best angle automatically.

and besides, Eidos did release a patch for all that.
