Yes! To end it!
RIP Amelia! or we will have a unfinished problem
No. I despise these "Lost family member" storyline; they are too soppy, not to mention cliché and had been used to death by Hollywood. I don't care where Lara's mother or father is.
Plus I don't think that Tomb Raiding should be about Lara's personal problems. I want to play action/adventure, not action/drama.
No. It's a load of emotional trash and it's not even Tomb Raider. Let's forget this piece of crap and go back to the AoD storyline. :D
Yes finish it off and then move on to something new :)
Sara Croft
21-08-07, 15:01
Yes.
As much as I hate it, and I hate Lara in it, I want it to finish. I dont want another AoD and I am sure CD can somehow make up the terrible, terrible misstake they did. I am very innteresded about avalon (If we ever get there) and perhaps something really innteresting happens to her mother or her or even her father?
I hate the new bio, but when you hit the buttom, you cant get further down ;)
yep,.. it needs an end,.. i think it was a nice turn of events... they just need to get rid of the whole perfect lara once and for all... and the same way she have feelings, the same way she makes mistakes along the game...
Marija_Croft
21-08-07, 15:10
No, of course not! :pi:
Yes. I'd like to see it resolved. And IMO, having Lara's mother in the story doesn't necessarily mean having emotional trash in future TR games. There's always going to be a way to circumvent that. Who knows, the biggest twist might be just around the corner...without having to resort to the so-called emotional trash and sappy soap-opera Legend was.
Power-Evolution
21-08-07, 15:25
yes finish the mother-story in TR8 or in TR9
...and make new Story's or Story-Trilogy's :)
Yes of course, they are actually working on it and we need the continuation and the end to this story before starting something else.
It would be too silly to have another plot started and never finished !
I love the Legend storyline and I can't wait to discover what will happen next in the future game. :tmb:
It would be too silly to have another plot started and never finished !
Don't you mean: It was silly?
I voted no, I think having Lara's family in the games severely hurts her independent attitude. For the same reason, I'm 100% against any sidekicks. Lara doesn't need constant help (I don't mind her contacting friends once in a while), and I don't think she should simply be continuing somebody else's work. It's always been part of her appeal that she does stuff nobody else would do.
Just to make myself clear, I don't like cliffhangers and unfinished stories any more than all you other guys seem to do. But if having another TR4/AOD style cliffhanger is the price to pay for not having Amelia or Richard in future games, it's one I'm willing to pay.

21-08-07, 15:33
It was a rather unclear question. I voted "no", as I despise the storyline, however I would like it to be tied off as quickly as possible just to end it ... which would have to result in some sort of continuation. The TR series has left too many loose threads; it could do without another one!
Clara [CA]
21-08-07, 15:34
Yes. Any other unfinished storyline in the TR series would make me quit. :p (and I'm just half-kidding)
Now if I like the storyline of Legend ? I'm not sure yet. It was interesting, of course, and I'm impatient to know what happens next. I like when games have a real plot and aren't only about wandering around collecting artifacts. Some of us found Legend storyline too emotional, and I can understand. But maybe it's possible to get rid off the emotional Lara and still end the storyline properly. In any case, emo or not, my vote is yes.
Yes. Let's get done with her (and father as well) once and for all. The whole thing about Amelia and Richard was wrong when it occurred to CD to tie this into the story imo. I do agree with many on this point - why do we have to waste our time trying to uncover cheap and soppy family mysteries instead of just having a good adventure (which all previous TRs prove to be)? BTW - the game's called Lara Croft:Tomb Raider - not Amelia+Richard Croft: Sweet-Family Reunion-or-How-to-Make-Tomb-Raider-Suck...:cen:
Like other's said, it needs to be finished.
I don't really see it as the "mommy storyline," though. Yes, the absence of her mother played a large part in the story and certainly acted as a catalyst, but I see it as something bigger: the discovery of Avalon.
I don't like unfinished so Yes. End it in TR8 and move one. TR9 should be a fresh story and so should be games that follow.
No, Mad Tony. I'm taking about the Legend plot. It would be silly to stop here with the Legend story. That's what I meant. :)
The AOD story has been stopped (and I don't care that much about it BTW) but I couldn't stand a non-continuation or a cancellation to the Legend plot. That's enough with the non-continuations and cancellations !!
Fortunately, the next Tomb Raider game will be Legend 2 and I can't wait for it. :yah:

Yes, just so I can find out the end of it.

I hope somebody from CD doesn't only look at the poll, but also at the thread. Looks like most of the people voting 'yes' actually mean 'yes, but...'.
You're right, Mona.
But I'm sure they won't deceive us and they will make a great storyline. :)

I hear ya! :tmb: Just put in a footnote that lara's mum died and lets get back to TOMB RAIDING! ;) I agree, lara should be running her own agenda, not trying to revisit old family woes. Unless they can tie in some way Z&A meet amelia and they all die a tragic death together, that I'd pay to watch... :mis: I want lara to get back to her tough, take no bull, doesn't hesitate for a second, go for it attitude! :jmp: We all know the old saying "you snooze, you lose"? In lara's case it would be death to hesitate in many of her situations, gimme back our girl of action, not indecision. :ohn:

Just to clear what I said - Yes but Yes as in continue it AND THEN END IT :).

Indeed (http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=64506), having some unfinished storyline can be a problem for a series. ;)
But I think Domina has a point, as it's not really the mother's part that matters, it was just a way to introduce the quest for Avalon...
Unless they can tie in some way Z&A meet amelia and they all die a tragic death together, that I'd pay to watch... :mis:
LMAO !
I just hope they give it a happy ending - Amelia dying and is never seen/mentioned again. It is a happy ending for me at least. And Lara gets back to being the bad ass we once knew...here's hoping...:o

I've already seen and signed that. :p
i would prefer it to end in TRL but since it didn't.....well end it in another game.
I think the story has potential, I voted yes, I just hope the don't spoil it and make some cheesy game out of it.
Nay! I would much rather a Nephilim related story. A continuation or remake of AoD perhaps?
Yes!It's a very nice storyline.
But not the usual stuff like Lara finds Amelia(hugs).....The End.
I want betrayal!Amelia and Amanda kidnap Z&A and Lara goes after Amanda to find out that her mother is evil!And she has to kill Amanda.Amelia kills Z&A and she escapes,because there has to be a TRL3(:mis:)

Melonie Tomb Raider
21-08-07, 16:30
Absolutely not... It really isn't "Tomb Raider", it's more of a drama. Although, the main reason I do not wish to see the TRL story to continue is that I do NOT want to see Zip or Allister again. Nothing against them personally, but Tomb Raiding is supposed to be seclusive, and it's just not when you've got people watching you and talking to you through a headset...
TRA really did things right, I want to see TR8 follow a lot of the same examples that TRA set. :tmb:
Indiana Croft
21-08-07, 16:36
Yes! That way Lara can move on and just raid tombs:)
I don't know what to vote to be honest. Like Mona said, there's a big aspect of "Yes...but".
Yes because: I want it over, I want Amelia to be evil/Lara has to kill her - I want to move on to something new after a quick resolution to it.
No because: I don't like it, I don't like the 'Lara's family' aspect especially - it totally ruins her character and her motivations by turning her into someone she isn't. She's an individual, disowned by her family - she's not someone who's sentimentally attatched to her past and obsessed with discovering what happened to her "dead" parents like she's currently being portrayed. I want it to move on to something better, and get our colder, tough heroine back.
I think I'll vote No because I guess I feel stronger about that side.
just*raidin*tomb
21-08-07, 16:39
yes! but only to end in tr8. i like the story! but i dont want it to last 4 ever.
im hoping for a AOD trilogy after Legend, alto unlikely:D
OMFG why do you want lara's mother? i say no, because imo is a stupid adition to the games... why do we need her mother? in the other games she never talked about her mother or her father and the games were great!
i say yes if lara mother appears, and we need to kill her, because she was a mutated ***** or something

Can't you change it to:
1. Yes, but the Lara's Mother story must end
2. Yes, continue as intended
3. No, nor even continue the Mom's story
I would vote 1.
VonCroy360
21-08-07, 16:51
Yes. I'm not a big fan of that storyline, but I think it should be finished in the next game.
:)
No I personally would prefer if mother Croft was forgotten about the storyline was pure pooh. Lara stands alone not with the emotional baggage of mummy being stuck in bloody Avalon. But if she really has to be in the next game I hope they bump her off real quickly.
That's a point. If "Lara's" mother dies in Legend II, there'll be a sequel after that which involves helping "Lara" plan for dear mommy's funeral.

Yes i want they to finish the story in TR8 and then we dont have to hear about it ever again because i simply cant stand it! Its too soppy for being a Tomb Raider game.
And bring back the independent, sometimes cold-hearted bad-ass Lara:tmb:

Why not a Happy end:
The beginning should be mysterious and be creepy.
In the end (Amanda &) Amelia alive in TR8 and never comeback in new Storys :D
I voted No. I can live without sequel to Mommy story...would much rather a fresh start with single game story and lots of puzzles and challenges.
They can always release an extension pack to finish the storyline...or finish it in the 3rd movie.

Don't be rude! Lux Veritata probably doesn't speak English very well.
Anyways, even though I like the 'Mother storyline', it's gotta be ended in TR8. And they shouldn't dwell on it too much in TR8 either, I'd rather they focus on everything else regarding story and sprinkle a few Mother moments throughout and at the end of the game.
They have to provide a satisfactory conclusion to it now so yes, lets stick with it for TR8.
But... really, they should have done this story in one outing instead of making Legend 0.5 of a game. And I really hope they don't try and milk this out over 3 games...
Ditto. :D
Look who's finally come back :D

Look who's finally come back :D
Surprise! :p
Tom's Heart says:
**** this emotional crap. We don't need a stupid emotional storyline that completely ****es on everything that went before it. Continue AOD dammit!
Tom's Brain says:
It makes sense that CD at least wrap up the current storyline before continuing the AOD storyline once more. I'm sure this will be the case following TR8...or at least I hope so.
Conclusion:
I strongly feel AOD should be continued and I strongly dislike the Legend storyline but let the Legend storyline fans have some closure before going back and finishing what was started a long time before Legend had even been thought of.
Lara's Boy
21-08-07, 18:34
I voted yes, simply because I want it to be completely over with, and the sooner the better imo.
After the next TR, let's move on to actually raiding Tombs for sport...not looking for long lost family.
No. It's rubbish and cliche+cheesy.
i think they need to finish it in the next game and i think that will happen. if they do make laras mother turn out to be natlas side kick then i think that will be the reason lara has an attitude.

Ward Dragon
21-08-07, 19:18
No. I am assuming that it will be followed up in TR8, so I want that game to be the end of it. That way, people who like the story get closure, and then afterwards I can look forward to TR games that aren't driven by Lara's emotional state. I like the TR games to be all about the artifacts, exploration and bad guys, not how Lara feels.

21-08-07, 19:18
I think that they should finish it in the next game and then create a new story. A whole trilogy about finding Mommy doesn't sound too good.:(
I voted "yes" - not so much because I like the "hunting for Mummy" aspect of Legend's story, but because I don't like stories being left unfinished - and I really, really want to see Avalon. :jmp:
I do hope that the Mummy plotline is only a side issue in Legend2. Maybe Lara could get so involved in the quest for Avalon, that getting there would become her goal in itself, and not just because she wants to rescue Mummy.
Hells no. I don't like emotional mummy story lines in my tomb raider. Please.
I would like it to continue.But not be active forever,of course.I think they can make it really interesting :)

AmericanAssassin
21-08-07, 20:31
Yes, because I like Amanda being involved and I don't want another unsolved loose end. ;)
Yep, I want to. Reason: I never considered it to be bad. It's the second time we get an actual storyline in Tomb Raider, and in contrast to Angel of Darkness, it's not completely messed up right from the beginning (AoD's story might have been interesting, had it been done right), so I sure want to see where it leads. I don't care about Lara's personality, as she didn't have any in the previous games (except, possibly, for AoD, but she's too much on the run there to show it). So I say, go ahead!
Yes! I want it to continue till TR8, then Lara find out that her mother is dead and end of TR8. :D
xcrushterx
21-08-07, 22:06
I don't want her motivation for going to Avalon to be her mother. Like she has to save the world by going to Avalon and meeting her in the process, like a sub-plot. So my answer is no :wve:
Lara Croft!
21-08-07, 22:09
Νο, because it brings up the weak and sentimental Lara and I prefer the cruel one!
silver_wolf
21-08-07, 22:13
so someone with emotion is weak? wow,you just insulted ever single person on earth, except Clint Eastwood (if he can keep that squinty-eyed look all throughout his movies you know he's a robot). In other words, poor choice of words.
Absolutely not. Lara is forward thinking, and foremost on her mind is tomb raiding, not hang-ups about what happened to mom. BTW, nothing really happened to mom, Legend was only a dream.

I voted for "no" but I think that something worse than a mushy storyline is an unfinished mushy storyline. Let them finish it and have it done with.
And I'd like to see some closure to the plot-besides the Avalon business does seem interesting- but without the whole emotional aspect.

Νο, because it brings up the weak and sentimental Lara and I prefer the cruel one!
What about "MAKE SENSE RIGHT THIS SECOND OR I SWEAR ILL EXECUTE YOU WHERE YOU STAND!!!"
ok she didnt kill her but you wouldnt get that on your average trip to Egypt
I voted yes because its always nice to see someones soft side even Lara Croft and it made the game worth playing if it was JUST for Excaliber it wouldnt have really gripped me as much.
What about "MAKE SENSE RIGHT THIS SECOND OR I SWEAR ILL EXECUTE YOU WHERE YOU STAND!!!"
Err, let's not forget why she said that. She was worried about mommy. The real Lara wouldn't of even been such an emo ***** :p
I think it should be a Final Fantasy-style trilogy.
By that it should go on for the rest of the entire series.

Yes but with all these whiners i dont know. :rolleyes:
"Whining" is a weasel word used simply to demean those who constructively complain, and therefore you yourself are no better than the whiner.
Interesting to see how the majority rather have them drop the storyline than continue with this mother nonsense.

I sort of guessed as much when i saw this thread even though i want it to continue. IMO crystal can easily turn the storyline around alot in TR8, without getting rid of amelia of course.
For example they could make tr8 all about trying to find a way to get into avalon (with artifacts and secret ruins and portals...) which could end up being a little more classic as that has many possibilities. Then we cant really avoid TR9 blabbing on about lara's mother of course;)

You might never know.
I urge people to check out this (http://www.indycroft.com/talesofprophecy/index.html) TR/Indiana Jones crossover fanfic to see how Lara should deal with deaths of her parents. Her motivations and how she expresses her emotion in concerns with the deaths of her parents are spot on. I've nothing against a storyline that involves her folks but its being executed in a far too cliche manner.
silver_wolf
22-08-07, 00:19
But Lara believes her mother is still alive, so dealing with the death of her parents is a different matter.
Well I'm not interested in that concept. If that was the driving force behind the fanfic I recommended I wouldn't read it.

If only I got a buck everytime somebody said that. I don't care how Lara feels about her parents and friends, I only care how I feel about them (Lara's parents and friends, not mine!). It's not Lara who has to play the game, it's me. Lara's not real. Thus, give me a motivation I can identify with. I'm sorry, but I don't give a damn about Amelia, 'Richard' (who's actually called Henshingly) and Amanda.
I don't give a damn about Amelia, 'Richard' (who's actually called Henshingly)
And so you shouldn't, and neither should Lara - they're perfectly alive and well, living blissfully ignorant of the world around them in their mansion somewhere else in Surrey. ;)
you'd think caring about your mom was a crime these days. If loving your family makes you an "emo *****" then I'd say most all of us are "emo *****"s.FFS, peopl who share the same views as me can't stress enough that we're not talking about real life. We're talking about Lara. ;)
@Forever Laras: No, you're right. She isn't. I meant, Legend "Lara". ;)
LuigiEspadachin
22-08-07, 09:38
I personally want it to continue simply because I like the TLR/TRC/TRAOD idea of a story arc over three games. It gives some sense of consistency with the three games, of course the random adventures are fine, but having story arcs linking the three games are interesting. And in the words of Karima Adebibe, "It's like you're getting to know Lara for the first time".
She's mysterious yes, but aside from the young Lara bits in The Last Revelation and Chronicles, didn't you want to see what bits of Lara's past were like (maybe play them occasionally, but that's irrelelvant) like the crash in the Himalayas? I know Lara isn't real, but no fictional character (except of course the actors that play them on movies/TV Shows/Video games) isn't real, but yet a lot of fiction material tries to get you to become attached to the main character or any other character. Fahrenheit (known as Indigo Prophecy for some US people) tried to get you to sympathise and relate to the characters.
Alright, I'm ranting now, but that's what I think.

finish it so we can close this chpter of emo-lara & get bak to ass-kicking lara! :ton:
i'd wan to giv it closure ;)
I voted no. I'm more on the side of I don't want it finished but I don't mind it. I'd like them to finish it instead of having TWO stories with loose ends. I voted no because I'd rather Crystal Dynamics never started it. Changing everything about Lara just for the story to git is stupid to me and not something I want. Finish it by all means but never ever do anything like it again in Tomb Raider.
I voted yes.
Lara Croft is human. She had a family one day and until Legend, we never knew her past. I don't say I agree or disagree of what they've done. I'm just not complaining of the two sides. It's all right and not right at the time.
And cutting the story right there, I don't want to. I want it to finish. They did that with AoD, cutting it right at the end. We never found out what happened. I don't want that to repeat. It's like not doing the third part of The Lord of The Ring...

Let me explain this to you. Personally, I think the Lara made by CORE was cool. I'm fine with her. She was awesome.
I think this new character made my CD who also has the same name, is lame. Sorry, just my opinion.
oh i feel the same way to thay made her to cartoony

Nope. Not epic or creative enough for TR. It's not even emotional, it's just cheesy.
Yes, I want a proper ending.
touchmyheart
22-08-07, 18:22
Yes, but ONLY because CD need to tie off the loose ends left after Legend. Discontinuing the "Mother" storyline now seems pointless when all signs from the last game pointed in that direction. :)
No. For me this even feels like its not Lara anymore! I am not used to seeing Lara in such situation especially mourning for her mommy!I am not saying that she shouldnt care if her mum is in trouble ther fiore turning her in a (qoutinng) "emotionless robot" :rolleyes: - I am saying that Toby gard shouldnt have put lara in such a position at all! I have always imagened lara as a looner which was left from everyone - even her own parent! Which gives her a spice that no other hero has! This is a lot better then "raiding tombs to find out aput her parents" THIS IS EVEN WRITTEN IN THE MANUAL IN THE ANNIVERSRY COLLECTORS EDITION! I am sure I am not the only one who feels dissapointed by ruining beliefs towards the character of lara. I just hope that Toby gard realises he is wrong at some point. (toby gard made those changes in the bio, looks, moves, plot everything) Cause I dont want each artefact lara seeks and each tomb she raids to be oriented in one goal - I want mummy I want daddy :rolleyes: pffffff! Thats a big pile of poo
I am saying that Toby gard shouldnt have put lara in such a position at all!
I think this is an important point. People keep saying that it's only natural and human for Lara to go searching for her lost parents - no argument there. The point is, is this quest interesting for us players? Personally, I don't think so. I'd rather see Lara in situations where she doesn't have to worry about personal problems. Let's take another example - James Bond. His personality is quite similar to Lara's. He's also silent, cold, tough and uncompromising. Now, I'm sure if his parents were alive and missing, he'd try to find them. But... would you want to see a Bond movie based on that? I wouldn't, I just wouldn't care about Bond's parents, and I wouldn't like to see an (understandably) emotional Bond. Thus, James Bond shouldn't be put in any such situation by the screenwriters (by the way, this would also mean changing Bond's biography, just like Lara's was changed - a big no-no, if you ask me). Same goes for TR.
Add to that the fact (;)) that Lara's parents are exceptionally boring. They're way too good and perfect to be interesting.

Would you want the "Lara's Mother" storyline to continue?
Yay or Nay.
Please specify your reasons.

Exactly! I hope the developers realise a lot of peole feel lile this towards this issue. Just look at the results
I actually like the mother-storyline. I wouldn't want it to continue beyond the next TR game, but I do want to see what happens. I think the storyline is captivating, but like I said, I wouldn't want it to be drawn out too much.
I have to say that I don't really like the storyline.
BUT: I don't want another unfinished Story in a TR-Game like in AoD. So YES they should continue it with TR8. But I don't want a trilogy! TR9 should be something unrelated to TRL.
No. It makes Lara overly emotional and it doesn't suit her very well. I liked her better when she was disowned by her parents and they weren't a driving/disturbing factor in her tomb raiding adventures.

yes, althought I didn't like it don't end it stupidly like AoD that's worse. besides since they added a touch of that storyline in TRA I'm almoust sure they will continue with it.;)

C'mon,Mona,don't tell me you don't know the next Bond plot: finding his biological parents :D!
And the new Max Payne 3: Max is going to look for his grandparents, living in a Mafia dominated city. In certain levels,we'll have them as playable characters!!:D:jmp:
Seriously,it's not only the plot or perhaps the main point is not even the plot,but the new Lara:wimpy,sissy. I mean,she killed 273429 baddies in Venice,328230 in TR3,innocent museum guards ,though,she was hesitating about killing Larsson,who was menacing her with a shotgun,Kold,who was a psycopath,and the Kid,who was a plain idiot,also trying to kill her?!
It's all just so un-Larish!

Don't worry,Chris:us,the cruel ones,have the Kalashnikov :D!
I voted no.
Mainly because I despise the rewriting of Lara's history.
I prefer the original version about the plane crash (not the one you see in Legend!), the trek out of the mountains, being disowned (I'm assuming Lara and her parents may made up their differences following TRV), etc.
If you give someone a backstory, stick to it!
Don't change it just because some idiots made a mistake (somehow, I have no idea how, these people linked Lara's plane crash and seperation from her parents together, making a new version where Lara's parents died in the crash) which then became accepted as the semi-official version.
But mostly, I assume it was match Lara up with the movies, which are probably (I hope not) more well known then the game. If you don't already know, I HATE those movies!!!!! :hea: :mad: :cen: But I'm not going to discuss that, so please do the other readers of this topic a favor and don't talk about it here.
Nice analogy using bond looking for his parents mona, now that does show how lame the idea is and how much it doesn't belong in a TR storyline either. Boring, cliche, nothing to do with raiding tombs. :ohn:
NW, totally agree there too, hate them ruining her backstory so they can fit in some sweet story about her parents. Lara was always a loner, a loose canon, able to do as she please with no ties to anyone to slow her down. It's almost turning TR into a disney story now... :hea:
HELLANO.
I personally despise the whole pathetic egoistic Lara that's just trying to discover her past etc, it's got to stop; she saves the world. Not mothers, that's just the way it is. :wve:

Exactly, if they were an old man in a Hawaii Shirt who always wears a duckie swimming balloon around the waist, and her mom was a wacky ol' extreme sport champion with her own pet weasel... Maybe i'd be interested. :D
And so you shouldn't, and neither should Lara - they're perfectly alive and well, living blissfully ignorant of the world around them in their mansion somewhere else in Surrey. ;)
That's what I always counted on in the old TR, she can visit them on weekends, now stop whining we've got some exploring to do! :p
you'd think caring about your mom was a crime these days. If loving your family makes you an "emo *****" then I'd say most all of us are "emo *****"s.
Ben stated wrongly, she's not an emo. She's a BARBIE! :D (jk) Don't take this the wrong way SW, but they didn't have to change her biographhy to make her go crying after her parents, no they could have continued living happily in the Bahamas on their private Island, and see her each Sunday. :p But since Snobby Tard is such a Drama Queen he had to make Lara a bimbo who waves her butt and cries to attract an audience.

Did we know that TR ever going to be made by CD? No.

So, no one can tell..maybe then CD got sold and replaced by Ubisoft? At least they don't make such tragic mommy story.

Kara this is not about avalon - its about lara's mother - there could have been million other ways to get lara in avalon and each option is a millio times better then the mummy hunt.
I am saying this because people should understand what exactly the poll asks
I'm not overjoyed with some of the things they've done with TR, but now this saga is "out there" as such, I do need to know what's happened to poor Amelia. Seriously. :D And, I hope they manage to pull off something credible and worthy... *shudders at the most obvious solutions to this conundrum*

I'd like to see the mother plot line scrapped. After years of old Lara history (aka. her parent's disowning her, Von Croy as tutor), to have a new history thrown at you that has obviously been ripped from the films is both confusing and annoying. And this was agreed to by the man who gave Lara her original brilliant and strong background! Shame on you, Toby Gard. :ohn:
XxX
I would like the TR games to have continuity from now on, so yes
But I don't the whole TR8 story-line to be about the mother
another reason I want it to contine it's because it might take us to visit Avalon, which sound very interesting

Maybe that's what's in Crystal mind. After Legend lots of gamers were already complaining about the emo overload. And with Anniversary, where Lara is most of the time alone, there are still complaints about the dramatic effects in the cutscenes. So what if these games (Legend with Amelia and Amanda - how Lara lost her best friend and started being a Tomb Raider; and Anniversary - one of Lara's very first adventures and the first time she killed a man) were just setting up the basis, trying to make Lara more human for the public (and especially for the new gamers). And now, the introducing part is over...
But I still want answers, not anymore question about what happened to a character though :o , so my vote is still yes :D

I know that most of the people in here know the time line's, bio's, etc and argue about the nuances within each one and which is more the real Lara, etc. They relish in the details of the stories, and believe that this aspect of the game is very important. Totally understandable.
I on the other hand don't care at all. In fact, it wouldn't faze me one bit if all of the games in the series conflicted, contrasted or ignored one another. I simply want a good game. One with a story that is self-contained, with a singular, good plot without a set-up for a sequel and no pre-existing barriers to what can and cannot be done. Having a tight biography and an existing storyline to follow constrains each game and makes for much angst within the TR fandom.
Why not just make each game a singular adventure. No long term motivations, no limiting storylines to continue, just an adventure without limitations for each and every game. Just my two cents. :)

Yes and that is what we got. JUST A GOOD GAME. And it could be any game. It doesnt FEEL like Tomb raider. When I got legend and I was 100% spoiler free - and started it I felt liek this isnt Lara I am playing and it isnt Tomb raider. Just one descend game inspired a lot from Prince of persia nad the average hollywood drama.
Yes it was entertaining but for me it has lost the essense of what Tomb raider was. the irony is that its ITS OWN CREATOR'S FAULT.

That's not exactly what I meant. Lara would have a set personality and game style that is unique. This would not change from game to game. Of course, I am severely biased to the old games so that is how I would want the game play to be. The only point I was making was in terms of the bio and it's effect on constraining the story, plot and sequels.

A lot of great games have sequels and prequels, though. It would probably be hard to keep up making good games that each have their own individual story. They'd run out of ideas, like Core did, which is probably why they started the AOD trilogy.

If I understand you correctly, you are saying that the new games bio and plot are unique? Or not? It doesn't matter to me anyway, since the lousy gameplay, controls and camera on these CD games preclude any in depth analysis from my viewpoint.
And whenever you hear stuff like it's hard to come up with idea's, remember that music has been around since the first caveman grunted a tune, and yet new songs are still being made to this day. Stories have been written since the time a Neanderthal recounted his fathers death by a Cave Bear by carving pictographs on a mammoth tusk, and still, new stories are created every day.
I could probably write Tomb Raider stories/plots one a week until the day I day I die. Some would not be that good, but than again, I'm not a paid writer.

No, I am saying that the Crystal TR isnt unique. the gameplay is entertaining but in the average kind of way. And the plot and bio are a big cliche. Toby Gards idea of the Mother plot has stole teh plot og 98% of all soap operas!

How is that connected to anything I said?
Most of you want or think that Lara will go to Avalon, find her mother and that's the end of it, I guess the endless routes Legend unlocks are obscured by your; hatred[?] and only the fans that enjoyed it can see those paths. There are numerous possibilities and if you put your mind to it you can definitely see them.

i'd like her to find her mother in tr 8(possibly still alive, maybe dead:whi:) but not to take up the whole game, and i dont want to spend the whole game in avalon either:hea:. she could finally make it to avalon for the last few levels at the end.
GOD NO :hea:
what a dumb story line
START OVER PLEASE >=[
( or continue with AOD ! PLEASSEEE ) :D
I voted "No". I want it finished as soon as possible so that they can move on to more Tomb Raider-ish storylines.
I once read in a magazine that Tomb Raider AoD was the first in a trilogy about the Nephilim and all. I guess that's dead and buried. I don't dislike the "Find my mother" storyline, but it's sort of uninteresting. Finding artefacts was much more gratifying. And if anything, this might make the game even more linear.
I believe Legend was based a lot on the TopCow comics, which are quite lame if you ask me. But even those storylines were more intriguing.

I agree with Nightwish and dragoness_crysta... I'm tired of Lara's family. I don't care! I want the old fun Lara who I fell in love with... the one who raided tombs because she loved it, not looking for any stupid explanation for something she needs to just get over... :rolleyes:
TR8, I want them to finish the Legend story, but just because I hate loose ends... That's why I'm still working on my site for AOD continuation! :D
No .. where the hell did her mother come from anyway?

Soon Tomb Raider shall change to...
Relative Raider....
Definitely - yes. Once Crystal start something they should finish it, or that would make them look like fools. Fools, who can't make a perminete image over Lara and her background. If they finish it with another 2 or 3 games, it'll be cool. We'll be back to a more random approach over the places she goes and the things she does.. Something similar to the classics, something not so linked. But I don't think Crystal made a mistake by making that story for Lara. They changed her image a bit (making her older is the thing I hate most in it all :S) and to a good one too. But I think it should run it's course ;) No casual: "CRYSTAL, YOU'RE FIRED, YOU :cen:!!" (Sounds fimiliar? :whi:) And then the story with her mom ends casually and very stupid as if it was like made up in one breath xD Good things happen slooooowly, Eidos :p (kidding, I'm done abusing them :/) And if Crystal don't finish it properly, it will be yet another failiour in TR after AoD... A failiour, that could've been great.. But lets not dwell in the past and build for the future!! :tmb:
