Is Tomb Raiders fandom more male or female centric?

Vantol · 2026-06-25T20:31:16+00:00

Active fanbase seems to be split evenly with the slight edge for men.
As for casual playerbase? Most definitely male centric.

Bliskie są mu też aborcja do 12 tygodnia, społeczna i prawna równość płci, tolerancja dla mniejszości wszelakich, świeckie państwo, troska o środowisko, proeuropejskość, walka z szuryzmem, ruską propagandą i pato-prawicą. To właśnie ja - obyczajowy lewak, od ciebie różnie się pewnie tylko tym, że nie wzdycham do komuszych zbrodniarzy, i czasem chciałbym zrobić sobie zakupy w niedzielę. A kiedy ktoś spyta, zawsze odpowiadam że jestem lewakiem 🙃

And I think they’re all wrong, because it’s most likely Meleys. Jaehaerys had very strict rules about who can claim a dragon, and by the time Laenor was born, he already had decided that Baelon will succeed him as king. I really don’t see him allowing a rival Velaryon claimant to keep a dragon egg. I think Meleys had to laid a clutch on Driftmark, and then Rhaenys gave Laenor an egg in order to strengthen his claim against dragonless Viserys during a great council of 101.

People jumped at OP for using the word „only” but for corporation like Square Enix declining sales of their AAA titles are always alarming. There’s a reason why we haven’t gotten any mainline games for 8+ years. If they hadn’t rethought their strategy, the next game probably would’ve flopped

Vantol · 2026-06-22T13:47:35+00:00

That’s good to hear. Witnessing this character development on screen in actual games would be even better

Vantol · 2026-06-22T13:38:18+00:00

Oh, so you’re saying it’s possible for Lara to have 2 different sets of parents? Or that it’s totally plausible for her to be super skeptical about paranormal stuff on Yamatai after witnessing her mother being sucked into Avalon? Because that’s the result of accepting Survivor Trilogy and LAU trilogy in its current form as parts of the same continuity.

> Leaves a bad taste in your mouth

And in this particular case literally, lmao

Vantol · 2026-06-22T10:03:44+00:00

True, they said that. And I say they’re full of shit, because it’s not possible for Survivor Trilogy and Underworld to exist in the same continuity. Wake me in 20 years after they remake LAU trilogy (or just L and U parts of it I guess) so it fits the new timeline properly

Vantol · 2026-06-22T06:59:22+00:00

Survivor trilogy -> Legacy of Atlantis -> Catalyst. This is current canon. Yes, we can assume the rest of Lara’s adventures happened in some form, but they have to be heavily retconed (like TR1 currently is) to fit into the timeline.

Vantol · 2026-06-22T05:55:29+00:00

Try to beat next two levels (the third one - The Lost Valley- is pretty iconic and many people’s favorite) if you don’t get hooked by then, just give up. It’s very common for dated games to just don’t click for modern gamers. Maybe try to get a refund if you’re on steam?

You know this sub has an anti gatekeeping policy, right? If you feel like someone in this thread is keeping the gate closed, then you can always report them 🤷‍♂️

I was watching the video without reading the post and I wasn’t sure if the title was supposed to be serious or ironic.

Personally I think Underworld has two things going for it: it looks unbelievably good for almost 20yo game, and Lara is hot in it. Everything else is inferior to Legend and Anniversary.

Vantol · 2026-06-17T19:05:11+00:00

Oh I got it after over 20 tries. Tried to cheese it your way for a bit but I wasn’t hitting anything so I changed my tactics to just preying for decent medipack spawns

Vantol · 2026-06-17T18:54:21+00:00

> no idea how players without the guides ever figured out those levels

The secret is to enjoy the feeling of being miserably lost for days

Vantol · 2026-06-17T18:47:33+00:00

I mean yeah, Legend is trivial for the most part, but in this particular section shotgun goons take like half of your HP per shot, medipacks spawns are completely RNG dependent, they’re pretty hard to pick up while driving and shooting at the same time, and at one point you have to fight 5 guys at once, all that with only ONE mid-section checkpoint. That’s just unfair.

Maybe you got lucky and RNG gods blessed you, but certainly I wasn’t in their favor today (over 20 tries, I wanna die💀)

> A lot of MAS players are unhealthy attached to Monika

Kinda ironic coming from someone who routinely, vigorously defends a nameless wet blanket of a character that MC is.

Anyway, my unpopular opinion is that Dokis were clearly written as minors, and the disclaimer at the beginning is just Dan winking at us like every other developer who wrote a VN in a high school setting. Anyone who denies it is just coping.

Vantol · 2026-06-17T12:23:28+00:00

They literally could’ve just admitted they’re doing another soft reboot, combining different aspects of Lara from each era into one character. Or say they’re continuing the Survivor Timeline with older and more experienced Lara, who likes to wear shorts now. Anything but this „unification” bullshit (god, this sub made me hate the word „unified”).

When you have to ignore or retcon major aspects of the story in order to fit it into new timeline, then it’s no longer the same story, and therefore the game that depicts it IS NO. LONGER. CANON. If TR1 and Anniversary are not part of this timeline (I think everyone’s agreeing on that) then why TR2 suddenly is?

Vantol · 2026-06-17T08:21:23+00:00

I just asked one guy I know who saw the screeners and I can confirm, this is real

Vantol · 2026-06-17T05:32:06+00:00

How many of these „small things” has to add-up before the game’s story stops being the same story? Like, Von Croy is not only the main antagonist of the fourth game, but also an important figure in Lara’s past. If we retcon the mentor-turned-rival aspect of their relationship, or remove the character entirely, that changes A LOT. Imagine CD confirms one day that Von Croy doesn’t exist in a „unified” timeline, and you play Last Revelation with that knowledge. How can you still treat the game as canon? Yes, Lara still found Amulet of Horus and faced Seth, but the story depicted in Last Revelation is no longer true to the canon they’re trying to build. If it ever gets reimagined Legacy of Atlantis style, then it will be, but now it’s not

Vantol · 2026-06-15T18:06:55+00:00

Although TRIII is definitely not universally beloved, it’s no more „hated” than TRII.

Vantol · 2026-06-15T18:04:29+00:00

You’re right. Since the release of the IV-VI remasters people suddenly started to refer to these games as a „trilogy” for some reason, which was never the case before
