firepork08 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Prices are pretty much the same where I am getting these so which one of these is the best to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyvanNav Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 If you have played the last AC games and liked them then go for it cause it's a more expanding and bigger experience than tomb raider. BUT! If you are looking for a polished, fun, and rich action adventure game both in terms of story and gameplay then get TR. Your Choice! Anyway I hope you enjoy whichever one of them you get.

captainskyhawk Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I played the PS3 version of Tomb Raider and I really enjoyed the single player but the multiplayer sucked. Unless the PS4 version is any better it is a hell of a lonely grind to max out your multiplayer for the trophies. If you only want to play the single player mode then thus game is def worth having. Haven't played AC4 as I find the AC games have very frustrating gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 A close call, but ACIV just wins it for me because the naval warfare was fun and refreshing. The TR reboot, very good though it is, is very much a linear experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlzaboPS Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'm more of a Tomb Raider fan I would recommend that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicodin_HP Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Tomb Raider has a much better campaign in my opinion, but Black Flag has a lot of optional side-content that'll occupy yout time more. You can blast through the tombs and obtain all the collectibles in Tomb Raider pretty quickly. The multiplayer components are a toss-up as I found neither enjoyable. If you want an amazing, satisfying campaign; pick Tomb Raider. If you want a more collectathon type game; pick AC. Either way, they're both good games.(However, my vote is for Tomb Raider) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intresseklubben Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I would give it to AC Iv since it will most likely last longer, and the naval part is really refreshing. Multiplayer is pretty bland in both of them in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltyie Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 ACIV, was not a fan of Tomb Raider, it had 0 replay value and most of the game is clunky combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goro Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I've completed both and Assassin's Creed IV was a hell of a lot better! Tomb Raider was overrated as hell, it had good graphics, mediocre gameplay, forgettable story, absolutely no replay value and an absolutely horrible multiplayer experience that you had to spend many miserable hours playing if you wanted the platinum trophy. I believe Tomb Raider has more votes because people just want to be different and not vote a game that receives yearly installments. On the other hand, Assassin's Creed IV had amazing graphics, very satisfying gameplay, an incredible story that i'll never ever forget and so much replay value that you'll have to end up making another poll to decide what to do next! Although the multiplayer isn't quite as horrible/boring/dead as Tomb Raider, you still will still need to spend many hours playing it for the platinum trophy as well and it does tend to get a little boring after the first few. For me it's an absolute no-brainer! Assassin's Creed IV was my GOTY 2013 while Tomb Raider didn't even make my top 10! Ignore those poll results and go and start Assassin's Creed IV right freakin' now and you definitely won't regret it! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condemned09 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 AC 4 has to be one of my best AC game its fucking awesome tomb raider was okay but the MP was garbage and if you want to platinum tomb raider be prepared to play mp for days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaSoOoN-MHD Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Wildly depends on your expectations. If you bought into that whole ''humanizing Laura'' crap they advertised, forget it, that stuff is nullified by killing armies of dudes a few hours into the game.

freddie1989 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I haven't actually got into AC yet but if it is like the others then this is a tough call. The story on Tomb Raider was excellent and definitely one to play but the MP was a bit crappy so I am torn!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar_Of_Battle Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Going with ACIV. I've played both on the PS3 and aside from graphical differences I don't know what else is different. ACIV was a ton of fun. It gets a lot of hate because it's part of the AC series, no ezio, and hurr durr an assassin can't be a pirate. However...that's all the reasons I loved this game. It's like other AC games in that it has some problems with the AI, you will run up a wall when you don't want to, and like the other games of course there are going to be things that are just plain odd. The naval missions are a ton of fun and it's the only game where you'll get to play something like this. Characters are enjoyable, and the gameplay is great. There is also so much more to do than Tomb Raider will have. I did force myself through the pointless MP though. It's boring as hell like all the other's but it was easy enough to do in the solo part that the platinum was obtainable. Tomb Raider, imo, was also a lot of fun to play. I hadn't played a TR game since Tomb Raider III on the PS1. Graphics are great. Lara will actually jump when you tell her to (most of the time lol) and as usual I love the mythological aspect of the game. I found it to be more irritating than ACIV regarding equipment...I won't spoil anything but sometimes my head almost fell off from it tilting so much at what she would find in certain areas. (people who've played this will understand) story isn't too bad and the characters are tolerable as well. However, the game felt too short to me. This is probably because I didn't waste time on a pointless MP or that I only played one time through though. All in all both are good games imo. If you are the kind of gamer who doesn't care for collecting all the stuff and doing everything possible ACIV is still going to last longer I think.

Annare_ Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, it's one of the best Assassin's Creed games, imo only behind ACII, and an amazing experience. I enjoyed Tomb Raider very much as well but Black Flag is a whole other beast, longer, more things to do, more fun and it's almost like two games in one with the ship. Plus now in the summer it feels really good sailing on a ship across the Caribbean sea. Edited July 21, 2015 by Annare_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willstown Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 If nothing else, the sailing on ACIV makes it one of the best open world games out there. It's pure fun to be a pirate, just cruising round exploring and raiding ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Assassin's Creed 4 has more to do, but Tomb Raider doesn't ask you to swallow your disbelief and do stealth missions with a goddamn pirate ship. So Tomb Raider. And that's with the stupid multiplayer taken into account. Especially with the multiplayer. I'd rather mindlessly grind Tomb Raider's tacked on multiplayer than do a stealth game riding in a pirate ship.

Anturak Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Weird comparison, prob Tomb Raider but I've only played a couple of BF on old systems when it came out. So Tomb Raider I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confon Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 As a long-time fan of the AC series, and Black Flag being my second favorite in the franchise, I would say Tomb Raider is slightly better. But still, as everyone has said, if you're looking to expend time in a sandbox game, Black Flag is one of the best, I played Black Flag for months. As for Tomb Raider, it's an incredible game that I enjoyed a lot, but, honestly, has no replay value. Still is a great experience that you should have. Both of them are two of my favorite games, no matter what you choose, it will be a good pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chell_Clare Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Prices are pretty much the same where I am getting these so which one of these is the best to get? Oo well, I've played all of the AC games and love them - if you've played the predecessors then absolutely go for AC (but be aware that you're likely to hit all the usual Ubisoft glitches). I've only just started playing Tomb Raider, which also has a few niggles in terms of glitches (but far fewer) - I started with the TR Definitive Edition; it's a bit slow to get going and lacks the vibrancy of AC in terms of detail and 'wow' factors in the environment (I was expecting different locations too) but I'm still really enjoying it. The map isn't as 'busy' as the AC map i.e., fewer side challenges, so it's a little less overwhelming for a completionist, but still plenty to do.

Mula_Alex Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I voted for Assassin's Creed IV because its the best AC game in my opinion, lets see if AC: Synidicate can top it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
