The first time I saw the TR1 cover art I thought “She looks scary (intimidating)..”

Watching my mom play the game I thought she was very brave to fight wolves and bears. I really wanted to jump as high as she could and do all these flips and whatnot. My parents totally should’ve put me in gymnastics as a kid. I probably would’ve loved that. We were too poor

I still remember watching Lara battle against these animals and monsters and always thought “She’s so strong and brave!” I was a scared little kid of the game. Egypt are the levels I refused to watch my mom play bc they were so scary to me haha! The mummies and their groans haunted me for years.

I thought she looked silly in shorts in the middle of snow and I thought the holsters looked like she was wearing suspenders with her shorts, which was a bit weird too.

But other than that I liked her, she wasn't your typical female character. Her age, late twenties was unusual and her manner of strong and calm suited her.

I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times: if Ascension was actually developed as anything related to Tomb Raider, many here would still mindlessly hate just because it dared to do something different.

Yes, because it's not Tomb Raider. I really don't understand why some people and devs find this so hard to grasp: this isn't an accusation agains you personally btw it's more of a reference to the whole 'this is a reboot so it can be whatever we want' mentality. Tomb Raider as an established franchise will always have an expectation about it so if you try to shove something in there which isn't what that expectation relates to, whether that be too much action or the whole Ascension premise, then it will not be accepted by most. People will say that they would have preferred to have Ascension in hindsight but it's no closer to TR than some elements of the reboot and it would have been equally as critiqued and ripped apart for the same reasons.
The sad thing is if the reboot were a new IP with a new character then it would have been equally as successful. Ascension as a new IP could also have been successful. It really is a shame developers want to much to shove ideas into established IPs to ensure it sells that we are letting genuinely good ideas not get the recognition they deserve.

I used the Amanda skin during the last level of Legend. A true doppelgänger moment.
