  • Honestly it is. The remaster is beautiful. But the games are very much tank controls at heart. So even though it might feel counter intuitive to use the old tank controls; it definitely is the best way to play these games.

    I’ve tried the modern controls, and it becomes apparent really fast that these games were not made for it. It’s clunky and unwieldy at best, and completely illogical and unresponsive at worst.

    The tank controls take some getting used to, but if you play Lara’s home you can get used to them in peace.




















  • Implying that Kubrick isn’t a genius in his own right.

    Stephen King wrote a lot of stories. Not saying that a lot of them aren’t good. But it feels, to me, like he’s been throwing a lot of shit at the wall to see what sticks with a lot of years even releasing multiple books in a year. The man is a machine, with some good stories sometimes.

    Kubrick’s movies on the other hand have been classics for the most part. And yes, that includes the Shining.
