Do we even know yet if his wife has given birth? :p

No, I said which meal the baby is going to taste first in his/her life. :p

Thoughts on this? I do not really agree with him..

Mikky 26-09-12 18:46

But it's not an attempted rape scene. At least, I don't see it that way.

Linoshi Croft 26-09-12 18:48

Stupid.
He has some points with the scene, I think they could of had used a much more appropriate and interesting (less obvious) character arc to show Lara becoming stronger. Although, to say actually giving her an origins and a reason to why she was the way she was is pointless I completely disagree with. I like the idea of seeing her origins. Plus, I still stand by that I feel reboot Lara has proved she is just as or more badass than previous Lara considering the ammount she goes through and still comes back fighting. The only difference is Lara actually reacts more naturally and feels pain rather than just absorbing bullets and having super legs. :p

larafan25 26-09-12 18:52

Well first off it's not about having a rape backstory, that idea is kind of "absurd".

Lara Croft is being put through these trials that are not all based around her sexuality, to show growth.

Lara Croft in every incarnation whether you overlooked it or not, had gone through a traumatizing event in her backstory taking her from a pretty common life (for whichever age she comes from) to the life of a tomb raider.

It's no different in this reboot.

The cutscene has a sexual tone, and it's something that most people would obviously report as creepy sexual assault. Though before we're given the chance to take the scene into our own hands, the tone shifts to live or die.

edit: If anything it's just there, it's just a reflection of truth and the reality of humanity. Unless you're stranded on an island full of gay scavengers, as a young woman that's probably going to be one of your worries. It's worry people have just walking down the street at night.

It shows from the scavenger perspective, an undermining of who Lara Croft is and what she's about, so technically from the scavenger character's point of view it's an insult to Lara's power, but not an insult from the developers on Lara as a female character.

Mikky 26-09-12 18:52

I also think he's forgetting (or completely ignoring the fact) that that's not the only reason why Lara's going to become stronger. I mean, the way that guy was going on about it in the video made it seem like that was the sole reason for Lara becoming "badass" or whatever. It's not; she's going to go through much more in the game.

larafan25 26-09-12 19:11

I really want this game to have a screenshot feature.

This, plus the fact that it's not the attempted assault that's the turning point for Lara to begin to turn badass, but the fact the assault and the struggle that follows results in Lara's first human kill. It's the underlined part that's the important part to the start of her change. (Although I'm sure the attempted assault did have an affect on Lara, she did fight back, so she does have some of that badassness in her already).

Ross C 26-09-12 22:36

Can everyone on here please, for the love of god, stop calling it a rape scene, even if your talking about someone else. The sooner that dies away the better.

Agreed. It's been annoying when it started and it's still annoying. Who even started this whole "raped-scene" nonsense?
