One thing that is puzzling me and that is at the beginning of Tomb Raider we were asked to hunt for food (killing deer etc) in order for Lara to survive. Apparently she also needs water.,

So i did just that. Since then there has been indication that Lara needs food or water. I thought she would need it right through the game. I find that very strange and in a way disappointed.

Also, we never seem to see her health bar.

Why?

There is no health bar. The red gory stuff around the screen gets worse as you take damage and fades as you regain health.

Yes, that's another thing....so Lara doesn't need health packs anymore? We have no way of knowing how bad Lara is injured, which is wrong. It's all wrong.

Yeah i've seen that in some other games i've played, like Uncharted and Infamous.

Remember the part where Lara fell from detaching the parachute, she couldn't climb up onto anything afterward. That's about as badly injured that she gets for the entire game.

I havn't got to that part yet....oh poor Lara.

It's only a game, don't get so involved.....anyway. I am the real Lara, so you can feel sorry for me!

I guess in playing through I've realized I don't miss the health pack thing. This game is much more like Uncharted (which I love) than the old TR games (which I also loved). So I suppose this is the way the game had to evolve to keep its audience and get new players to try it.

I remember getting lost in the early TR games for hours, wandering around hallways and going in circles. There isn't any of that in the new game, and realy the game is more of an action adventure (almost like a movie) than a puzzle/exploring game.

That's all OK with me, so I guess my style of play and the games I like has evolved too.

Life is Change.

Sorry i spoiled that for you, i should've used the spoiler tags there. But you'll see for yourself what i'm talking about when you get to that point.
