Honestly after the three games. They are seriously just baiting us at this point. Would it be so hard for CD/EM to give Lara dual pistols?

You guys do make good points and, believe me, I want stuff like the dual pistols back as much as anyone.
I think that their approach was to create a super fleshed out origins story for Lara in a way that makes her feel like a fully-realised and not a one-dimensional character but eventually make her feel more fun like she used to be. There's been little signs of that in all three games so I'm thinking we're getting there. I do think that it took too long and that some parts of the origins trilogy were a bit off but, overall, it did succeed in bringing the series back in the mainstream and making lots of money in the process so they at least get props for that. TRII and III sold less than TR and Anniversary and Underworld sold less than Legend so Rise and Shadow selling less than 2013 does not indicate that the series flopped in any way, this is how it's always been. How I perceive things is that now that they've told their dark and gritty reimagined story of how Lara Croft came to be she will start resembling her former self. People seem to think this would only be possible with a "personality transplant" but I don't think that's the case. Reboot Lara can be fun and witty, she just hasn't had many of these chances yet. If the games' mood shifts from gloomy and personal she'll be a lot less tense. She also admitted it herself that she needs to be more chill from now on, right? I'd be lying if I didn't admit I have doubts or fears about how true this new Lara will be to her former self but all things seem to lead to this direction We'll see. Maybe their Marvel brake will help them come back to the franchise with a fresh mindset and fresh goals. Last edited by XXIIXX; 10-11-19 at 08:32. |

Yeah, I honestly don't have a sliver of hope. They'll announce the next game in 2020 or 2021 maybe, bait us with the proverbial carrot once again and then slowly backpedal on everything. It's a joke. And frankly I also lost respect for them due to the total refusal for communication with us.
I'm sure I'll buy the next game, I'll probably enjoy it too, but I heavily dislike all the companies involved with the game now. They suck. I'm so sick of supporting companies that think so little of us. |

The lack of communication part I can agree on. It's one of the most bizarre handling of a tough situation I've seen in a lot of time...

It's also from their Japanese side of the branch so I doubt it has anything at all to do with Tomb Raider.
