@beardalaxy I loved the first one of the (new) series. She goes from some your average entitled american white girl, getting ripped out her comfort zone, having issues climbing a tower, getting beaten up, getting (almost?) raped.. Ultimately developing and maturing, learning.. Able to climb the tower, fighting back, earning her peace.

None of the other instalments were able to replicate this growth of the character. Missed opportunity really.

@xyfdi @beardalaxy
I played the first new one, and first one was just gore porn...

But, it did humanize her a lot, so it helped a lot in making Lara quite human. (Well, until it turned into an FPS for some reason)

@LukeAlmighty @xyfdi that was definitely back in the day when it was cool to have detailed death animations, dead space popularized that.

i liked the game because it was like a grittier uncharted. tomb raider got inspiration from indiana jones, uncharted got inspiration from tomb raider, and then tomb raider got inspiration from uncharted. then, uncharted got some inspiration from tomb raider again but did it worse xD the stealth parts in uncharted 4 suck ass.

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty @xyfdi the only dead source I played was the one on the wii. It was pretty good

@ZRDR_DelRio @LukeAlmighty @xyfdi dead source?

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty @xyfdi I don't remember what ìt was called, it was an on trails shooter that's great until it fucking crashes in the multi-player campaign and your woman has to calm you down so you don't throw the TV

@ZRDR_DelRio @LukeAlmighty @xyfdi oh you mean dead space extraction lol. yeah it was fun, i didn't play a whole lot of it but it was fun.

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty @xyfdi it is good! Really good! I still haven't finished it because that was fucking bullshit.
It wasn't even like it was just me,we were playing coop and suddenly BRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIÌIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII and all our progress is gone

I'm mad at the game

@ZRDR_DelRio @LukeAlmighty @xyfdi oh dude the Wii freeze sound is iconic

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty @xyfdi I first heard it after fiddling around with homebrewing. Scared my dog

@ZRDR_DelRio @LukeAlmighty @xyfdi yeah mods for brawl would cause it to happen every now and then. It was the worst when you were in the middle of a tournament match and then EEEEEEEEEEEE

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty @xyfdi some emulators just make that noise and nothing else

@beardalaxy @xyfdi
Well, that is on the other hand kind of the problem.

I liked the Lara Croft as a larger then life kind of figure. She has 10/10 figure, is athletic, uses 2 guns and lives in a mantion, that she pays for by traveling.

No need to add realism into that out of all things.
