But fuck those QTEs which don't tell you which key to press. And the depiction of wolves in this game.

when the game offers you to kill hundreds of people


But they're all men, and therefore don't count. If all that horrible stuff was happening to a male protagonist, nobody would give a toss.
Case in point; Dead Space, where the various horrific, macabre, and excrutiatingly painful ways to die in the game were used as a marketing gimmick.

Or Sniper Elite V2. Somehow I think if TR had closeup X-ray shots of bullets perforating Lara's ovaries people would raise a fuss.

What is worse is seeing emasculated men defending this bullshit. Everywhere men are depicted as dumb, irresponsible, not better than children and on every action movie ever, men are disposable, targets to be shot. Women are depicted as responsible, courageous, caring, incapable of lying, if they are so good and being half of the population, why the world is this piece of shit? This game is based on a gimmick: Gratuitous shock scenes, you should care for Lara suffering. Why? Because she is a beautiful womin. Apparently, nobody care about ugly bitches.

Ugly bitches dying would still make more fuss than men dying. I woudn't care that much if women didn't raised much of a fuss about it. If They want to be a man, treat them like a man.

"when a game sexualizes some of its characters and then lets you bash their heads in the ground and rip them in two. That's when it feels weird." Translation: I have a hard on when a woman is brutalized, is this wrong?

Just finished it. Well, the best i can say it was moderately entertaining at times.

Pros:
- beatiful locations in the second part of the game that can be fun to explore.
- shooting rape gangers with napalm arrows is fun.
- some beatiful visuals, awesome fire effects.
- pretty original setting,

Cons:
- unbearable overdose of QTE's and cutscenes, game just won't let you play it.
- absolutely shit story. In addition to being shit it fails as a prequel.
- most non-combat gameplay elements are repetetive,boring, shallow and half-assed.
- overall unispired game design, most of the time game feels just like any other popamole military shooter.

Verdict: could have been good for what it is, but ruined by too much shit game design and bad story.

Tombshit Raider

Wouldn't call it that. It certainly is an improvement considering how shit all TR were after Last Revelation. That's where relatively-low sales come from I think, not quality of the game.

Legend was okay, Anniversary was good but then it was mostly a copypaste of TR1 levels, Underworld was good too. The last three, from Legend to Underworld, got better with each iteration, but then they decided to make derp instead of continuing to improve the formula.

Underworld was my favourite of those three. Anniversary was immensely loyal to TR1 - it definitely wasn't dumbed down. Legend was more action-focused, but not as combat heavy as the 2013 reboot.

True that. I remember one particularly fiendish grapple jump in the coliseum level that had me rage quitting a few times.

The creator of Tomb Raider 1 worked on Anniversary, too. I can't imagine him having had any input into the 2013 reboot. It simply isn't Tomb Raider.

Not only that, but they showed moms being exposed to Isaac's horrible deaths. Interestingly, no one thought they were getting off on it.








This one is great because of the article in middle of the page. I wonder if those moms are codexers?

Why you guys defending this shitty game?

Lets see a game with attempted rape of a male protagonist and how people react to it.
