Re: Pulled The Trigger
Yea they are console games ported to the PC, that is why I wasn't crushed ordering on amazon instead of newegg. The fact that I ended up getting them anyway was an unexpected surprise. I think to really play them I will need a like a PS4 game controller for my PC cause the keyboard controls don't necessarily match the onscreen commands. The games are pretty though, nice graphics. I will get around to playing them more eventually once I get a game controller.

My experience with the first Tomb Raider was a bit different. I originally got the game for Christmas in 1996, but was so obsessed with Quake at the time that I didn't really play it until summer 1997, which was okay because I had been given a 3DFX Voodoo PURE 3D card so I could really make Tomb Raider look amazing.
Not only did the game have great graphics and sound for the era, but it was a great change of pace compared to the FPS games of the same era. I loved Quake and Duke Nukem, but the formula of finding key cards, opening doors, and blasting enemies was starting to get stale. Having to think and solve puzzles might be a bit eye rolling for modern games, but this element is also what made Half Life such a great game. Sometimes the combat would stop and you would have to explore around a bit and interact with part of your environment before continuing.
It was a formula that worked and was a breath of fresh air to those of us that had been rocket jumping around Quake in Nightmare mode. I still say Tomb Raider 1 and 2 are great games, but every one after that I didn't even bother with until the 2013 reboot.

Pulled The Trigger
I did manage to squeeze out an average of 120 fps in BF4 on ultra with a few tweaks ( thanks Warprosper)
