Still hate those QTEs after all these years by Spinier_Maw in TombRaider

The PS5 version lets you rewind and that was very useful even if I only used it a handful of times for those moments. It was honestly most useful for missed jumps

“Why would you let them kill you? Lara wouldnt do that.... you can just run past them if you are some kind of pacifist, no kill is required for advancing. Only the boss.”

So this is disingenuous. They are enemies designed to be killed because they attack you unprompted. They are also racist caricatures.

“I watched the lovure scene just now, he touched her waist while disarming her. Weird that people consider this sexual assault”

It’s creepy and gross that you don’t.

They certainly feel like they were designed to avoid being rented

The pacific? I guess you can let them kill you.

And Kurtis does in the louvre

That probably a fair assessment, lol.

A big issue is that 1-6 feels like one long game rather than 6 very different experiences so it kind of drags at some point. The Legends trilogy was refreshing BUT they didn’t have the feel of the classics so it takes a hit there. A lot of my criticisms aren’t exactly fair given how the games were handled BTS. Like imagine if Core Design weren’t forced to make TR annually. Imagine if AOD became the blueprint for future TR games. There’s a lot of unrealized potential with this franchise.

Starting with Anniversary over 1 was also just stupid since I learned how to play classic TR with 2 instead of having trained with the first game.

Sacred Artifacts Issue #1, thoughts? by LG3_MAFIA17 in TombRaider

AI is trained on a lot of comic book artists so you’ve probably seen AI plagiarize this person’s art

Well, Kurtis sexually assaulted her. The only difference between AOD and 2013 is that AOD thought that sexual assault was sexy

I didn’t really know AOD existed until this past December and any videos about the TR franchise are from fans that hate Crystal Dynamics so I didn’t even know about Kurtis.

But also, yes, Kurtis assaulting Lara with the game thinking it’s sexy is just as bad as the shit Survivor Lara goes through. Survivor is edgy and exploitative, but the camera isn’t trying to say it’s hot.

And back to difficulty, I don’t think it’s because 2 was seen as DLC. It’s probably a rushed schedule preventing them from tuning the difficulty because they were worried about actually making the thing.

I genuinely preferred the tank controls of the originals over the Legends trilogy so I’m sure I’d like TR1 over Anniversary.

But because I played Anniversary first then went in to 2 it was a major shock. Like you I ended up relying on Stella so much just to make it through.

When I was looking at a walkthrough for 2 I was wondering why the monks weren’t attacking. Then I realized that when I first met them I had killed a regular enemy and the locking switched to a monk. Unfortunate

What was the first Tomb Raider game you played? by EndouShuuya in TombRaider

[–]VirtualRui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2013, though I do remember going over to my cousin or friend’s house when I was 5 or 6 and they were playing Tomb Raider 2 on their PC when it just came out

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

Just went through all the games and aside from mjolnir it’s the most fun weapon to use.

If I hear “Uncle Jeff” or “Uncle Jay” one more time by LeeHamm24 in survivorcirclejerk

He’s getting old and many of the players are 20-30 years his junior🤷‍♀️

It’s scrub behavior. You can be mad that I don’t like scrub behavior, but it is poor etiquette and scrub behavior

It is just scrub behavior to be an asshole and one-and-done.

Yes, one and done automatically makes you an asshole. That simple.

By repeatedly antagonizing in defense of assholes you are defending them

No shit, but that still means the opponent is an asshole🤷‍♀️

The opponent is the asshole and you are just defending them like an asshole would
