that's just stupid
where's the fun if when you get stuck there's a video to show you where to go, i love tomb raider games because you actually have to use your brain and when you complete a level that's been bugging you it's like the ultimate high, now when i get stuck i click a button and it shows me what to do. seems stupid to me
You wouldn't have to use the system if you don't want to. This is more for people that don't want to spend half an hour trying to solve one little puzzle. As it stands, right now all you have to do is click a button to find out what to do; the only difference is, that button is on your computer instead of your console.
I like the idea. Like I said, if you don't want to use it, then you don't have to, but if you're stuck at a certain part, it can be really nice to get some help. And it's not like people don't already cheat. Game guides are available for just about every game out there, and online guides are always being made. You can even find video walkthroughs on YouTube. With this system, you could get help without having to move away from your console to your computer, search Google for a guide, search the guide for the part you're on, and then move back to your console.
