***CONTINUED FROM THE "WHO WANTS TO PLAY TR4 WITH ME?" THREAD***

TOMB OF SETH

aka the rolling blade log makes for GREAT death montages!!!!

Obligotory shot of Lara's massive chest.

My old nemisis! WE meet again! But this time I wi--

The guide just stands there like an idiot. It's no wonder that he works for the old fart.

*briiiiiing*

Yay, secrets!

Oh wait...it's THIS secret.

CUE THE YAKKITY SAX*!!!!

Playing in the oil is so fun ^-^

It just isn't the same

Stupid tour guide...

I loaded a savegame after I got the Hourglass of Whatever and this camera angle greeted me.

I couldn't show it very well in a screenshot, but it should be noted that the guide CAME SPRINTING OUT OF NOWHERE AND SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME!!!!

Must...resist...urge...to...become....Shrensh.

TOO LATE!

Peh, I see how much help YOU are. *hmph*

How did he exit, anyway? He just runs into the lava pit room. Perhaps he commited suicide?

Hmmm...he IS in the cutscene after Guardian of Semerkhet AND Valley of the Kings....whatever. Tomb Raider never HAS made sense, why should it start?

You know that phrase "jump down someone's throat"?

Yeah...

Gia says that this screen is too dark and she can't see it. If anyone else has trouble, just tell me. I seem to have problems with making it brighter...

OMG IT'S A STATS SCREEN!!!!!!!

*Yakity Sax!!!

The version I wanted to use is really fast but I couldn't find it

er why is this on a new topic

~So others posting stats to the other thread don't have to scroll thru 50 million pictures first. Gia~

Very good screenies More please!

(I see that my influence has corrupted you... Welcome to the Dark Side! )

You'll feel right at home Shrensh.

I've made it a point to break Lara's neck and post pictures of it at least once a level.

As far as when I'll pe putting up Burial Chambers, it'll probably be late tomorrow. I played a bit today and decided that that was enough for one day. I actually got the pick-ups on the spinning blade trap (After you use the Hand of Orion) for once! I had to use a small medi-pack, though.

I used it right as she was fataly hit by a blade, so after I used it the blade literally passed through her.

if you do a run jump and grab she should pick it up as soon as she lands and the blade passes through her then you can jump to the exit

BURIAL CHAMBERS

aka Tomb Raider LAUGHS in the face of physics!

It's like a wheatfield of death!

Because everyone checks what's inside compartments by blowing them to pieces!

(unsure) "Listen, Ms. Croft, I'm not sure we should do this..."

(angry2) "Don't be such a sissy, Set. Your wife won't be home for about 1000 decades, remember?"

(unsure) "Well, I guess you're right..."

(angry) "HONEY!"

(unsure) "I can explain!"

(angry:) *runs off sobing*

(angry2) ".......shiney ankh!"

"Mummy want friend....huuuuugs...."

"AGH! *plop*"

"Mummy is sad....mummy no get friend....

*sigh*

This is that non-burning kinda fire.

I never had to pull the switch on the wall....?

If Lara had to, she wouldn't have had to kill herself to go flip the room, she could just pull it as is. But again, TR has never made sense, why should it start....

This boggles my mind. Wouldn't the artifact have to be laying on the floor of the room before it was flipped to land like that? Lara could've just picked it up off of the ground...

"Lara?"

"Yes?"

"Oh nevermind..."

Gee, Horus must have HATED Sirius or something. Orion's hand got to trigger a trap that nearly sliced my legs off, but poor Sirius only gets to lower a measly rope.

Oh, and btw, let's just say Lara defeated her opponent for now*.

Call me stupid, but shouldn't the sand have stopped rising at this point? The holes that spewed sand would be covered, so the extra sand would've just mixed in with another layer. But apparently in Tomb Raider Land, sand has the same density as water**.

"Go into the liii--"

"SHUT UP!"

*: A nice way of saying I spaced out and forgot to make her jump off of the rope and break her neck. At least you'll get to see Lara go boooom in the next update.

**: Since I'm not a physics major and just working on common sense, I might be wrong about the whole sand thing. Maybe someone could shed further light on this situation?

"Wheatfield of Death"..... not what I was calling it every time Lara got sliced and diced. LOL

ok, its a game...

lol

lol, great screenshots

That rotating room gave me a terrible time when I played... I got all turned around and I remember trying for ages to get where I thought I was supposed to go, only to find out that it was the place I had just come from when I finally got there. I have no sense of direction and the whole room rotating definitely didn't help

"Wheatfield of Death"..... not what I was calling it every time Lara got sliced and diced. LOL

People actually had trouble with that thing? I always get through it so fast, I hear the spikes jutting out when I get past the first circular blade thingie!

I had to wait, like, a minute for Lara to actually get killed by it.

Valley of the Kings/KV5 might be a bit hard to take pictures of, since people are shooting at you with uzis constantly so there's no time to waste. Driving over them *is* fun, though.

(As to avoid double posting)

TOMB RAIDER DOUBLE FEATURE (OMG I'M SO EXCITED!!!):

VALLEY OF THE KINGS/KV5

aka couldn't this have been an fmv???

Ah, fresh air at last.

"OW, WHO'S SHOOTING?! STOP SHOOTING!!!"

Yep, that pretty much sums of the entirety of Valley of the Kings/KV5. There's also an annoying driving part but whatever.

THE END

As far as Temple of Karnak...

...

I had you all going for a second there, didn't I?!

But seriously:

I was going to cover the fact that there's modern ammunition/weaponry in rotting tombs earlier, but I remembered this part. Was everyone storing their luggage on top of this entrance for some reason? I don't know. I took everything, anyway.

Lazy developers. A fresh, unopened tomb is right in Lara's nose and yet she prefers driving like a madman in one of the most frustrating sections of the game thusfar. What will that cooky Lara do next?

He could have done myriad things here. Run over me, throw a grenade, shoot me, etc. But what does he do? He just sits there while I stare him in the face. Eh, the old bat is in the car with him, so maybe some of his incompitance rubbed off on our annoying little tour guide here.

We soon discover that this is why he chose not to blow Lara to high heavens with a grenade. For some odd reason, the grenades don't harm Lara in the least, even if she leaves the Jeep*.

Time for another crazy Lara moment! Yaaaay!

Why is she looking behind her? What does she expect to hit? It's the middle of the dessert** for god's sake! It's not like she has problems with running over minions head-on at easily 100 mph or anything.

Just because I promised.

And Lara was starting to *beep* me off with her erratic driving skills

Lara never let go of this flare even after I got her into the Jeep and even had her draw a weapon. It carries on into KV5, as you'll soon see.

Lara missed the "AoD iz bettr th@n Tr:L!!1!11" bandwagon juuuust by a bit.

"Hmmm, I'm thinking of jumping on that platform that was supposed to be collapsed, but I'm not sure what'll happen...what do you think Mr.DisembodiedRope***?"

"I don't knoooooow"

"Well, here goes nothin'..."

"Wheeeee! Mr.DisembodiedRope, you should try this!"

"Nooooo....I'm fiiiiiiiine...."

Yaaay! Mr.DisembodiedRope has a body now!"

I thought we were friends, Mr.Rope! I thought we were friiiiiends!!!"

This section leads me to beleive that Mr.ObliviousGuide was on some questionable substances.

"Okay, I'll go LEFT! SHARP RIGHT TURN! U-TURN! LEFT! RIGHT! LEFT!"

*level ends*

Lara seems to go into another tomb with the tour guide (oh god help us) but the FMV has her placed back in the dessert???

*: This is at least true for the PC version. I saw a video of the PS Valley of Kings and they seemed to get hurt when they went off so idk.

**: A hot ecosystem or a delicious treat? YOU DECIDE! Because I can't spell worth crap and won't bother to run spell scheck!

***:If you don't know what I'm talking about (people usually don't, beleive me); the little strip of slightly darker brown (the whole game ammounts to shades of brown!) in the screenshot before the sliding is actually the rope that you encounter later. For some reason it showed up in the fog but nothing else did....

TEMPLE OF KARNAK

aka Wow, that's gross.

I'm surprised this hadn't happened earlier. As I said in the last update, lara drives like a madman!

Considering the placement of this item, I assume that the medipack is some sort of shrine offering. Lara promptly steals it. This is the stuff that makes me wonder why Lara is respected in the Archaeological community at all. :S

Lara is in hog heaven.

Ah, she'll sleep well, tonight....

(At least as good as someone CAN sleep when they've just started the apocolypse)

Although this pickup is a *beep* to get to, it provides a sorta nice view.

(taken from the roof of the area where you get Canopic Jar 1)

I honestly don't know how this entire area has laid undiscovered for Karnak's entire existance. I mean, the city of Karnak is a quite popular tourist destination, right up there with the Sphinx, yet gold trinkets in the rafters of a small building are yet to be discovered.

Must...kill....self....for....secrets!

"Braaaaains"

Just imagine: Just two hours ago Lara was happily riding a camel with not a care in the world. Now she's triggered the end of the world and has an old windbag psycopath hot on her trails.

*sigh* Only in video games, folks....

Great screenshots VCJ, keep them coming

I particularly like the one of the jeep exploding at the bottom of the pit

Please keep the great screen shots coming!!

Since I have been stuck in City Of The Dead for ages, now I know who to contact for help and screenshots

Love all the images

wherabouts r u stuck

wherabouts r u stuck

Actully since I got lazy I deleted my saved data for TR4 so I pretty much have to start all over if I want to pass it. If I do I will most lkely get stuck again so I will let you know *giggles*

I have some bad news and some good news for you all.

Bad news:

This thread is over.

Do to my computer getting a virus, I had to back-up everything on my computer. I actually forgot to back up the ENTIRE Karnak section's screenshots!

And on top of that, the computer won't re-install the game for some reason.

Anyway,

Good News:

Since I'm getting Tomb Raider II in at most a week, I'll start a "VCJ's Superawesomeamazing playthrough of TR2" in about a week or two.
