They're probably out of touch with reality, but i can't blame them for expecting more sales from the Tomb Raider reboot if you consider the franchise's 18 year history that's backed by a multitude of Image comics, parody porn and two summer blockbuster films that were headlined by Angelina Jolie.
Never let expectations get in the way of reality. If they would've lowered their expectations they would've realized how much of a hit the reboot really was.

You need to STICK AROUND THIS TIME
Alright alright, sheesh, Here to stay. On that note, is there an iPhone app that's easy to use for this or just the site?

I really loved the reboot, It was fantastic to see how similar The Last of Us and Tomb Raider were, with how satisfying combat was

I never even thought to compare the TR reboot with TLOU
Yeah, as far as I know Halo or Call of Duty doesn't have parody porn. I can see where Square Enix is coming from now. Tomb Raider>
It might be exclusive at the moment, but I don't believe it will stay that way. The Tomb Raider reboot disappointed Square Enix in the sales department and it was on multiple platforms, the Xbox One has far less owners than the last gen consoles did and the Playstation 4, this won't last and is simply a tactic to try and boost sales of the Xbox One, Capcom tried the same thing with Resident Evil 4 on the Gamecube and if I recall correctly it ended up being the lowest grossing entry in the series history, this caused them to cave and port it and in my opinion Tomb Raider will have to follow suit or it will go bust.

They finally included a Show Only BioWare posts!

Halo absolutely does. Cortana has to be popular for that sort of thing.

I don't know about going bust. I still think people are exaggerating.

Not to mention that Sony just announced 10million PS4's sold into consumers homes
True. You hit the nail on the head on this one.The Problem is gamers expect a lot more out of games these days, and Gamers who were teenagers ten years ago are still playing games and their tastes have evolved as well as their expectations.

Lol, I just came across this : https://twitter.com/...187317735956480
Maybe he meant Uncharted instead of the Last of Us. It was hard to play the Tomb Raider reboot without thinking about all the little things it had incorporated from the Uncharted series. Of course Lara Croft did tomb raiding adventurer thing long before Nathan Drake came along so I guess that makes things even.
Good. Tomb Raider needed to grow up and be taken seriously anyway.
Lol, hmm, guess I can't embed tweets or edit previous posts

Now sure Tomb Raider's story was over the top, but I'm referring to the punchiness of melee combat and how the animations react to damage, and blurry screens during high action sequences. When you play the game on the Survival difficulty in TombRaider, ammo feels not so rampant and it feels alot more enjoyable
I just used the bow predominantly.

I messed up in my wording, I didn't mean that the franchise would go bust, but rather if it did poorly Crystal Dynamics could possibly lose the rights to make another Tomb Raider game and would go bust. I believe that Tomb Raider is a very strong IP and is going to be around for a very long time, I mean just look at how the internet has exploded about its "exclusivity".

Yeah, I was really impressed when I heard the news earlier. I don't know how credible this source is: http://www.extremete...on-vs-5-million
(but its the only one that I could find with any mention of how many units of Xbox Ones have been sold.) The website guesstimates that around 5 million Xbox Ones have been sold in total.
Haha, Moneysoft be bangin' Laura exclusively now. Haha.

I think part of it also has to do with platform wars and people seeing Microsoft and the Xbox One as boogeymen.
Ex- People jumping to the conclusion that MS bought the franchise and brought it over to X1 instead of possibly being in a similar situation like with Titanfall and Sunset Overdrive.

It's hardly jumping to conclusions (unless those people specifically mean the entire franchise going XBox only in the future, which is of course unsubstantiated).
The marketing wording specifically says "exclusive". That is the term they chose to market the game with and any reaction stemming from said wording, like say extreme discontent, is entirely within the scope of reactions the marketing team will no doubt have anticipated when they chose that wording (and chose to stay with upon further inquiries after the reveal).
The current reaction waving through the gamer populaces is exactly what Microsoft intended or at the very least willingly accepted.
They are probably trying to ride the old marketing adage of "there is no such thing like bad PR" ... not for Tomb Raider of course, but rather to persuade some on-the-fence consumers to go buy their XBone. This most likely has little to do with Tomb Raider at all. It's not a software exclusivity they are trying to sell, it's hardware exclusivity.
