They take any chance they can to show she can get hurt just as easily as us, I agree they are trying somewhat too hard.

I've kind of always thought that it's a bit much, but making an hour long podcast complaining about it all is taking it a lot farther if you ask me. They're making a mountain out of a molehill, as one of the comments stated.

This must be what Karl tweeted about a couple days ago. I was wondering what he was talking about.

What was the tweet? ^
I get what you mean. I totally understand why some would think its a little over the top. They want to make a huge emphasis on important moments that define Lara and show her growth as a character though. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Generally, it doesn't bother me really. I'll have to judge it in context.

The way I'm looking at it...this island is freaking crazy and dangerous. But time and time again Lara is proving herself to be one step ahead. She is slowly growing from being a victim on this island to conquering it and the only way to show that is to show how hostile the island is in the beginning. Traps are everywhere. Danger is everywhere and no one on the island is safe from it. No one. Look at it in context and it all makes sense. But yes, looking at it as just a game about Lara falling and getting hurt and it starts to look very excessive.

Still, I'm indifferent about it. I don't like it and I don't hate it. I think the reason people are being so hard on it is because they know it's Lara. They know she's supposed to be strong. But look at her as this average girl and it makes a bit more sense.

The gameplay does worry me though. That's the one thing I'm really worried about. But I truly think the context of these situations and Lara herself will all come full circle and make perfect sense by the end of the game. Even if someone thinks, in the beginning, that she's getting put through so much crap.

yeah I saw that tweet, I think that the podcast could have been a good idea but they ruined it. They all sound incredibly biased towards the game, morgan said all tomb raider games suck, and they said that the grunts unlike the ones in uncharted sound sexual.

Its all about context lol

Thanks. ^
LMAO

That's perfect. They don't sound any less sexual than Lara's.

Someone hits a devil's milestone on the other day.

Guess who.

^KARL! *Boom, tsk.*

Listening to the first minute, it felt like the guy was taking a hit at Tomb Raider by saying that normal people learn their lessons without needing to go through that.

I'm gonna watch it, but Morgan's weave might be intact after seen this if she gets too critical.

You are absolutely correct. How did you manage to give the correct answer from 7 billion+ people around the world? Pretty amazing stuff. :tmb:

Watching the video. I actually agree with some of their points. However, Morgan basically said that Tomb Raider was never a franchise that could be taken seriously and was always sexual..



:vlol:
