I don't know, maybe I'm the only person that doesn't throw money in the trash... $2.90 is a gallon of gas
Not for those of us that have to run 93 octane

Same here, and the WRX is thirsty.

still chugging its countdown in the uk.
think I`ll go for the regular size tomb raider.
extra sprinkles version seems pointless to me having no intent on multiplayer.
wish they had put Giana Sisters twisted dreams on offer yesterday when I bought it... still retro fun with eye candy
worth it.

I just wanted to let bamato know that I don't think he missed out on anything by not getting the GOTY edition.

Is there some point in the game where Lara has to pick a good little runner and decent roadside recovery plan 
all these spoilers... I`ve only just downloaded it

Sorry if there were any spoilers in this thread. All I said was that you shoot a deer. Lara's big boobs need nutrition! Although, I think they may not be getting enough... they really shrank since last time I played a Tomb Raider game. Went down about 2 or 3 cup sizes... I'd have preferred the resources for the hair physics in the latest TR were used for boob physics but that's probably just me.

knew I should have a better GPU than a 520m... she`s only got adequate melons on my computer 
probably have to snare a rabbit when I get to the same spot you played up to
as long as she doesn't have to fill up at a gas station I`m ready to rock... with my texture mapping I may put in diesel by mistake

The game is running like butter on my 580 1.5GB. I have AA and AF at 2X and no TressFX on the hair. I'm enjoying the game. I'm 3 hours into it now. The environments are very well crafted. It doesn't have "OMG WOW!" graphics, but it does have compelling graphics. It was worth the money I spent on it. Can't say I'd be happy had I spent $50 on it though. I'd be disappointed. But for under $5 I'm quite happy. The quick time events make me angry though. I loathe quick time events... so lame... And there are a LOOOOT of them in this game.... (Is that a spoiler??? I don't think it is. Plz don't get mad at me if you do...)

I never meant the spoiler thing in the slightest... just amused me we talked about the price of starbucks coffee and fuel prices on a tomb raider thread. lol
for £2.99 I`m not complaining
I checked out the minimum specs before I bought it... seems potentially playable when I ran the benchmark.
graphics will do me fine. I spend more time in retro games than modern stuff. I just don't posses the interest to learn some alternate reality or the ability to submerse myself into it. As my eyes have got a bit more woolly and reflexes slowed my serious gaming days are over. playability and being allowed to win takes priority. lol
I had a 780 gpu for about a week then gave it away to a close friend for his kids to use. once upon a time I`d get excited about carving edge graphical experiences but I realised I didn't care anymore after I spent a fortune on that card then gave it away.

You gave away a 780??
When did you buy it? When it was more expensive than a kidney? Or when it was more expensive than a decent mattress? Either way... that's very generous. I can't afford to be that generous with a $650 item myself personally.

when it first came out 
my friends the closest thing I`ve got to a brother... we even call each other brother and that's unusual being English
divide the cost per family member by four just means they consolidated a few Christmas and birthday gifts lol
why have a cake or nice card when you can give away a £600 gpu and be held in an eternal good light

Yes, the eternal good light is a nice thing, but 600GBP? On a single gift? Herm... Maybe for your mother on her birthday but for a friend? Herrg... I couldn't do it. If you have money coming out your you know where then that's cool, but if you're an average lower to middle class person like I am, that's just way too much money.

I've seen plenty of production cars require 93 octane, at least here in the states.
Anyway, grabbed up the base game plus that one single-player DLC. Started playing it last night and didn't stop until this morning.
I got the settings maxed out at 1600x900 (my monitor's res
) with my HD 7850. I only noticed it hiccup when most of the characters from the ship find Lara and it only slowed down when it showed her floaty hair.
^^^heh sandy
I paid a hefty price for tomb raider... £7.50... which is still a bargain!!

that's the same price as a large Starbucks coffee here to give perspective
As well you didn't go the whole hog and have both... you`d have had to re-mortgage the house
I paid £13 for Giana Sisters twisted dreams and Rise of the owlverlord... bailiffs are coming round next week for a kidney

Why? Just friendly convo... Off topic yes, but nothing wrong with that in a casual thread such as this IMO. JM2C.
