We're talking about a company that gives each annual COD release a 5 out of 5.

Either way, I still don't feel the need to watch it. I doubt they spend an hour spouting off about how bad it's going to be, but the comments on the video have given me a pretty good idea of what's said.

And please, stop referring to Morgan Webb as a "bitch" or a "slut". It's inappropriate.

She seems to refer to everyone else as "bitches" so why not? :p

:p It just doesn't seem right to stoop to that level. I personally don't like her either, but to each his own I guess.

I'm assuming they've never played a tomb raider game because I've never seen a scene in any tomb raider where it was all about her boobs. Perhaps there are a few exceptions here and there like Legend dress or something, but I don't really get it.

It's about the tombs. It has been in every game really. Labeling the series as nothing but a boob game is a little exaggarated.

And they're okay with Lolipop Chainsaw? What?

This logic I'll never understand. Their only issue with Lollipop Chainsaw's protagonist is that she's "hollow", apparently.

Huh.

I've never played it, so I can't make comparisons.

I actually like her, even though her biased opinion towards Tomb Raider is infuriating. That alone isn't enough for me to hate someone. :pi:

She seems fun to be around, tbh.

Well, in the interview, they were discussing games that are accepted with sexualization, and IIRC, they mentioned some game that gives an achievement for looking under a girls skirt, and they said that blends well because the game overall is OTT, just like Saints Row and a few select other games, thus it doesn't just feel like they're using the sexualization as an addon to the game to make it more appealing, but it actually is there because it is OTT just like the rest of the game.

When they were talking about Tomb Raider, they said the problem is that the devs try to make out the the franchise isn't sexualized, but they make proportions of her body exaggerated (in the past) and now it seems that they're making Lara weak and moaning as a way of sexualization. They discussed Darrel's comments to dispel the controversay of the rape scene debacle and said that it was silly that he said it wasn't attempted rape when it clearly was and everyone can see it, and that applies to their argument. CD try and deny what is, infact true (If that makes sense). Which I completely agree with.

They had good points, tbh. Y'all calling Morgan a slut and an idiot isn't justified.
