@dagbiker: The Dota 2, CSGO and TF2 model could be seen as gambling too. Depends on how you look at it. ;p

Totally correct. But for me its one thing if its just cosmetics, and its another if its game mechanics. Maybe that's really it. When you put game mechanics behind a pay wall every x minuets, i would rather just pay a flat fee.

I agree with a lot of your points, In fact on the other end, i have no problem paying micro transactions for things. And its gotten alot better, Guild Wars 2, and TF2 as an example, who sell only cosmetic things, what i dont like is the gambling systems often put into place. Often used by EA.

I'm actually quite disappointed on the reporting of this whole tomb raider thing. It seems like everyone that reported on this, including here on giant bomb, reported the story as though this was for sure a lifetime exclusive. It would've been nice if in their articles, reporters stated that they were awaiting for further clarification or definitive confirmation about whether or not this was the case, as we've gotten now. While it is their job to report the news as it happens, on a story like this where there is much confusion considering how the statement was made at the conference, it would've been better to see the story reported as a possibility of lifetime exclusivity rather than a statement of fact.

I'm all for being patient with reporting the news, but there was nothing ambiguous about what Microsoft announced yesterday. It said it was an exclusive to Xbox One. That word has a very specific term, and Microsoft deliberately mislead people. Microsoft knew exactly what it was doing when it trotted out that term the way it did.

exactly. and this is the real story. this included microsoft directly responding after the fact to people who said it was probably a timed exclusive with the opposite information.

It will be interesting to see how this effects sales. I mean microsoft already doesn't have have huge grab of gamers right now and I wonder how many who were thinking of investing to get the game will not based on how they feel they were treated.

I usually judge the average opinion by the comments section on IGN and the consensus seems to be "im upset about this but still going to buy it"

much like the people that said they would leave twitch forever this is probably the minority. but when you have a smaller peice of the gaming pie even a small amount of people can make a difference. I guess my point is it will be really interesting to see the sales numbers for this...in like a year and half : /

If i judged the average opnion in the comments, then the only thing people watching youtube want is

A. for others to "Die in a fire"

or

B. "Face Cam"

I hope its more like Silent Hill Shattered Memories, That was honestly the scarest Silent Hill game i have ever played, At least the first time. Running through the same paths multipule times sucked. But The tension of no way to fight, and knowing that the world just decided to fuck your day up was great.

I am farly confident this is a timed exclusive.

1. Square Enix would never sell Tomb Raider, at least not the name.

2. Square Enix might make a game a console exclusive, but I doubt they would sell the rights to a game whole sale, and that means that there has to be an ending, ether in a year, a month, or who knows.

3. Square Enix JUST started making good PC ports, infact some of the best PC ports i have played were Square Enix ports.

Im not saying that any of this is proof, but i bet that a Strong IP like Tomb Raider would not be console excluseive for long. Even if it just gets ported to PC.
