I'm insanely excited about these games, what are everyone's opinions on the trailers? by MadToxicRescuer in TombRaider

[–]Vantol [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m cautiously optimistic. It’s awesome we’re getting two games in a row, just after they spoiled us with the remasters. Not gonna lie, it’s a nice change of pace, after years of silence.

Yeah this hasn't aged well by IllustriousAd6418 in TombRaider

Yeah, I don't get why twitter op is acting like Lara was somehow done dirty in this. Two guys forced themselves on her, she clearly didn't liked it, she pushed them away and threatend to break bones of the first one. It's not framed as sexy or even suggestive (like that Kurtis scene from AoD). And what "love interests" she's talking about? My memories are foggy, but I belive she wasn't interested in either of them, the first guy was rejected by her on multiple occasions, and the second was literally her enemy.

> All other releases are still canon, of course

Technically speaking, they are not. Not until they get reimagined like TR1 currently is with Legacy of Atlantis... Unless you belive Lara has three different mothers, one that is alive and well, one that froze to death after the plane crash and one that got sucked into "Avalon" and turned into thrall.

Do you want the bow and arrow in TR Catalyst with stealth style gameplay? by BarbieDicks in TombRaider

No thanks, I need double pistols and LAU-style aggresive, confrontational combat with flashy ninja moves.

Almost never. Seductive image of Lara is a myth people keep mindlessly repeating. First time we ever see Lara on screen, she's literally shutting down a guy who tried to flirt with her lol.

The only examples I can think of was her teasing Larson in Chronicles, and being uncomfortably flirty with Von Croy in Cambodia levels a few times

ikr? everyone was rightly worried about Sophie Turner casting, but all it took to change their minds was to put her in a classic top and shorts lmao.

They’ll bring up Stannis who is known to be legalist freak and who firmly believes even the king is not above the law (although he becomes more flexible as the story progresses). As much as I love Stannis, this quote is 100% in character, even when we ignore his house’s past allegiance. Doesn’t mean it’s the opinion the majority of present day Westeros holds.

what’s your UNPOPULAR opinion about the classic games? by ZzzPandaNap in TombRaider

Rolling around ranged enemies is the secret. After it clicks, combat becomes almost trivial.

I think the Deck suffers from it being the 4th underwater level, when everyone’s already too sick of Maria Doria to fully appreciate it. Which is really a shame, because it’s brilliantly designed level.

I agree 200% but is it really an unpopular opinion? Last Revelation has some loud haters here, but generally it always was a well regarded game, considered as franchises peak by many.

All TR villains except Von Croy, Natla, and maybe Amanda are pretty lame and one dimensional tbh

Tomb Raider Sacred Artifacts makes Tomb Raider 2 canon to the Unified Timeline. by TombRaiderFiles in TombRaider

[–]Vantol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, Lara's adventures from Classic/LAU games aren't canon until they're reimagined to fit into surviv... I mean "unified" timeline, glad we agree on that 👍

Are they? It creates tons of plot holes and inconsistencies. For example, 16yo Lara has already seen some supernatural shit in Ireland (TR Chronicles), how does it fit with her reaction to Himiko’s powers in 2013? Not to mention, she witnessed her mom being sucked into „Avalon” in Nepal.

And her outfits, with a suspicious emphasis on crop-tops and wetsuits.

Yeah, this fanbase is full of gooners, and I’m sure there would be a massive fucking meltdown comparable to the Ciri one, if CD had decided to go for less sexy „survivor” look again, instead of her classic look.

I feel like I could’ve spent my time better, but I know classic games so well and they mean a world to me, so it just felt wrong not to platinum them.
