I try looking at Lara's strength through 2 dimensions. The first dimension is pre-truamatic experience. Where she is still a strong character, she climbs mountains in her spare time, apparently. For the thrill maybe? (This is actually a reboot thing). And that in itself is bad ass, for a "civilian". These experiences incite thrill and danger, but it's not live or die, it's not as severe as the truama experience each Lara encounters. Then of course there is the strength that comes through the real truamatic experience, and just because this experience tests and breaks Lara, it doesn't mean she wasn't a strong person to begin with. She's brave, she's smart, she's strong, but she has a limit prior to being exposed to the worst. It could have been the same for classic Lara. Who was she prior to surviving the plane wreck? People often use young Lara from TR4 and TR5 as a gauge for how fearless, and how much of "herself" was already there when she was young, prior to the plane crash. But I still think they are 2 different dimensions. No doubt there is real danger involved in what young Lara experienced, however the tone never tried to convey what the reboot does. Of course you can accept that, if your Lara is more of a "cartoon" (for lack of a better word) then she was brave, and the same person in the young Lara levels. But if that is not what you expect from your Lara, that she does grow and isn't as simplistic, then shouldn't this new portrayal of Lara be starting some fire? |
has anyone seen this?

Should be firing...

But experiences do change people, and this experience, this landmark in Lara's origins has always existed, since the beginning as far as I've known.

^I thought the level design was kind of...non-existent in some parts, or so simple and to the point.
Of course there were cool nooks, and the design of the events was incredibly well done. But I guess I just expect...more interior exploration. Quote:
Y'all don't know what went down that night in Brighton. Anyways, I assume Lara's just going to become more enjoyable for those who can't stand to see her wimper. CD seem to want to portray her as a brutal action hero, or something like that. However that in itself isn't equal to classic Lara bad assery, simply because she's brutal and capable. There's more skill and charm to it than that. But whatevsiez. |

Or maybe there was good level design. Something was good about this game, it has done well. |
I utterly confused, to be honest.
I can't decide if CD should follow the path of action aesthetics, character exploration and stereotyped Hollywood glamour or the aspect of concentrating on open world exploration, platforming , puzzle solving and freedom. I actually want them to focus on both aspects but we just had too much character exploration in the reboot. I want more freedom. The next game. Well, the next game has to be more about gameplay and levels and not about Lara. |

^Guurl, they can do that stuff with the flick of a wand, we can't just script things in the LE like they can. TBH.

Alternatively it was a lot of fun and Lesbiany and was made into a movie: http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps20a72040.png |
Lara looks so innocent, and Sam looks all devious and stuff. ^:pi:
:vlol: |
Quote:
Well, judging from Sam's journals they had "fun" in many places, ranging from Bulgaria to mountains. Brighton might have been one of those places :p ! |
Honestly.
This is bad to say, and I shouldn't. No no. But I will. I'D LOOOOVE to see an even...slightly younger Lara, maybe 20 (lol) with Sam, in some exotic city, just messing around, sneaking out of a balcony, something that plays sort of like the flashback level in Uncharted 3. It would be so awesome. I wanna see them get into trouble and be mischievous. It could be like an Olsen Twins movie. But no. This is bad. >_> |
^ Tomb Raider meets The Olsen Twins. D:
... ... [insert crazy gif here, tbh] :D |
