View Full Version : Why Dont Lara's Pistols Ever Fall?
I Just Noticed That Lara's Holsters Dont Have Covers And I Thought About How Lara's Pistols Never Fall! Like In TRL And TRA!
Because they are Lara's guns. :)

The same way Lara's boobs defy gravity. It's not reality.

Oh. My. God. Some of you people need to get your priorities straight when it comes to games being realistic. What, do you want the first level of the game to be her trip to the gun shop to buy new holsters? I mean, it really doesn't matter. :p

I'll admit that it would be pretty damn cool if one dropped out sometimes and you had to fumble to get it..but very, VERY rarely. The last thing I want is for realism to completely spoil a game.

I already have my priorities straight about games being realistic, thank you.
And the same way Lara can cary an M16 (TR2) In her mini backpack...and a grenade launcher...rocket launcher...shotgum...Crossbow!:p

This doesnt keep me up at night :ton:
It's not a concern to me. Some things need to be unrealistic.;)

I always just figured they were magnetic. :)

Superglue.
i find it funnier that how persistent in gun handling safety lara is even the millisecond before she dies since TRL :P

have you ever put a gun in a holster? generally theyre in so tight that they wont just slip out. otherwise they'd be impractical right???

God this thread is stupid: Is it a common thing on this forum to create brain fart threads?
I 'm serious
Yes, and this isn't even the worst of the brain farts.
This doesnt keep me up at night :ton:

I thought about this before, I guess Lara's hostlers have magnets or something...
Fair enough if you want them to fall. But sometimes making a game too realistic can make the game very, dull and boring.
I think there was a game which they made a level, as an exact replica of London, but you couldn't do much in the game anyway. So it didn't get good reviews.
For God's sake, it's just a game.
What next? Why doesn't her boob slip out during handstands??? :ton: I personally would find it annoying if my guns fell out of my holsters. :whi:
Only someone who knows nothing about guns would wonder about this.

:rolleyes: Oooh... The things you guys think of... :rolleyes:
Well,indeed,it`s a logical question.Reality gives thousands of chances to a game,not totally real but a mix would be amazing...i mean,if her guns could fall,that add an extra difficult(must fight hand to hand until recover the duals,or escape,or use enviroment and stuff).Same with her backpack...

What people need to realise is that there needs to be a balance in realism.
Too much realism and things like Underpus and the like will not exist, not to mention any fictional or mythological creatures. You can also kiss goodbye infinte ammo (pistols) and ammo from 3000 year old locations...etc.
Even the possible locations will be marred if we get too much into realism.
However we dont want small realism. Lara shouldnt be able to do a million backflips effortlessly and shouldnt "shine" when healed and recover instantaneously.
The list for balance is endless really, lets just hope TRU has the perfect balance:)

Yep. It was called The Getaway. The London replica was actually the entire game not just a level. I played it and it wasn't that great of a game. Pretty boring and tedious really. Only really good part about it was the London replica. :( Sorry about the off-topic.
On topic: I honestly never paid THAT much attention to detail. As long as the pistols or other weapons work when needed, that's all i really care about. :)

sure I don't care either unless her pistols are working fine :)
It's because the designers didn't program her pistols to be able to fall.
/\ and those designers have said that Lara can swing/pick/drop/throw any object in tru

I didnt expect this to be some discussion...
The way you mentioned it...
But i would like it to be in a different manner...
Falling from holsters seems so out of mind because this is a game...
What feels tougher is that if someone kicks her and smacks her and when she is attacked, maybe her guns and bullets may fall from her and so this may make a combat mode acceptable and game becomes harder...
dont you think?
And the same way Lara can cary an M16 (TR2) In her mini backpack...and a grenade launcher...rocket launcher...shotgum...Crossbow!:pforget the m16 what about in TR3 the shiva sword that she picked up in temple ruins. It was bigger than her! :p
It'd be kinda funny if they fell, not in gameplay, but like in a cutscene when she's trying to kill something and, "oops there goes my gun". I'd like that, not in gameplay though. :)

The tip of her guns are velcro :P
It's just a game, it wouldn't be fun if we have to worry about details like this ;)

good point...boob...
This same question use to pop into my head back when the movie figures came out. Her damn pistols would fall off during her adventures in the neighbors pool :( Would take forever to find the damn things! xD

because it's LARA.
:D
(btw that wasn't sarcasm. i'm serious. i loved that answer. it's so obvious :hug:)
Aw thank you. :hug: :)
I seriously still want to know if Lara will have a shotgun, It's Larson's choice of weapon. ;)
Why are her boobs so perky when she's 40?
Why can she carry all sorts of stuff in her backpack when it's tiny?
Why does she wear next to nothing when she has to endure such terrible conditions?
The questions are endless but there's only one answer: because she can.
:p

hehe she might.
it would be pretty awesome though. i might like it better in TRU because in anniversary, when you would shoot something with it, that dreadful adrenaline dodge thingy would automatically kick in, and it got tedious REAL quick. hopefully there's no more annoying adrenaline dodge.
sorry i just got very :off: for a second.
anyways, they stay because they know that if they don't do as they're told, lara will chuck the little lovelies at the nearest animal for it to ingest :mis:
