Just kinda seems like the family kiss to me honestly, e.g. thank you etc. Its a new take on Lara Croft. |

The devs didn't mean that every single thing in their game is intended to be realistic (proof is : their entire premise of Yamatai is about fantasy and the supernatural being real) , people just love to put words in their (Crystal's) mouth and pick on the tiniest details possible and triumphantly go like "Ha ! x y z isn't realistic ! in your face CD !" . If we're going to go super-realistic , any shot Lara would take during in-game gunfights should instantly kill her AND the game should END (no load game and Lara respawning) because realistically speaking dead people can't go back into the living world , imagine if the game was designed this way . What matters is : Lara is a good combatant who received extensive training from her mentor , and she can take care of herself alright . Some video-gamey conveniences are bound to be there no matter what approach the devs could be leaning towards (whether more grounded or more outrageous one) imo . Anyway , let us not forget that the Solari are quite ordinary people (former survivors) . They're not the cleverest , most tactical best "soldiers" ever . It's even mentioned more than once in the documents that Mathias went for men strong in body but stupid and weak in almost everything else , so it's not like Lara in her first true adventure killed loads of veteran Mafia hitmen or advanced giant cyborgs . |

Because it kills any chance of me taking the story seriously with how absurd the combat sections are. Then she kills even more people in Rise who are Trinity mercs. Its not helped by the fact there are plenty of moments where Lara should be dead but Plot-Armor prevails. I can't take a "Survivor" narrative seriously when she's slaughtering her way effortlessly through braindead hordes. Last edited by Samz; 28-08-19 at 14:43. |

You misunderstood the question I asked.
I just asked this question; I think Alex turned his head away when Lara went to kiss him on the lips. Lara wanted to kiss alex on the lips? (I am sorry for being late and my bad English.) |

I 100% agree tho. I love your take on Lara's character a lot more, too. just the no-nonsense additude. I love TR2013 but the story is an absolute trainwreck |

Actually it was definitely Alex that turned his head allowing Lara's kiss to reach his cheek instead.

She was definitely trying to give him a pity kiss on the lips. But Alex turned his head away because he's a dumb ass.

But in post-orgasmic bliss he probably wouldn't have felt like blowing himself up, so the Solarii would have got him, and then stepped out through the door and cut the rope while Lara was trying to zip back up to the front of the Endurance. If they ever reboot the reboot Lara should go back to Yamatai and find Alex's skull, and polish it up for a Manor souvenir. Then wait 'til Reyes sees it. |
