I had it preloaded on my XBox and haven't even launched it yet, with Fallout releasing at the same time. Glad to hear it's pretty, though. I'm sure I'll at least try it tomorrow.

From the Deals thread:
sportdan30 wrote:BB has a deal if you buy Tomb Raider or Fallout 4, you get $25 off your choice of Madden 16, FIFA 16, HALO 5, GTA 5, or Forza 6.

If you have the Gamers Club, you can essentially get either Tomb Raider or Fallout 4 for $48, and your second game for $25 after the GC discount.

I'm assuming these are physical copies only and not download codes?

Yes I went into Target and got Tomb Raider, Halo 5 and picked up WWE 2k16 Wrestling because I'm a sucker for those games.

I'm only about 1.5 hours in, but yes it is better (my opinion of course). Stunning visuals. So far the story is very engaging. It has that "just a little bit longer" quality to it. I haven't had that feeling since The Last of Us. Top notch game. So glad I got it.

I got stuck early on.. died a bunch at the beginning too figuring out the controls a bit. There is no doubt, this is the most beautiful game I've played on xb1 to date. It's just so life like and engaging.. just getting to a point where I can rest feels like an accomplishment. :) I'm really drawn in..... you can really feel the environment around you. Just amazing!

Continued WOW from this game. I can't stop exploring and scavenging :). The game is SICK.

Pulled myself away from FO4 to try this and now I don't think I'll be going back to FO4 until this one is done. Probably the best looking NG game by far

Exactly what I did last night. Put in about an hour or so of FO4. There's no doubt FO4 is a deep engrossing game, but the action, adventure, adrenaline rush, and visuals you get from TR is really top notch.

Agreed.. the cold arctic air blowing snow and walking through the deep snow is just something to behold. I continue to be amazed at the visuals as well as the game play.

The last Tomb Raider was probably my favorite game of the last several years and this one is off to a great start. I'm extremely sleepy at work this morning. :D
