Why did they try to erase OG Lara so badly?

>>715233107 (OP)
Modern women and numales feel intimidated by her

>>715233107 (OP)
AoD Lara is not OG.

>>715233107 (OP)
Cause a bunch of people got involved who for some reason believe they're not sexist when really they're the most sexist of all.

>>715233107 (OP)
too much of a girlboss

>Because my industry is trying to move beyond the sexist mentality of its former mindset
How lmao? the old Lara is literally anti-sexist. She's like what feminists want to be
>Strong and independent girlboss who need no man to steal artifacts from dead ancient spics
>Wears whatever the fuck she wants, not caring her outfit is a bit impractical for her escapades
>Isn't an absolute pussy stereotype of what a virgin thinks a woman is, and is pretty badass
This spicnigga has no idea what he's talking about

>Eric Wile is an accredited video game designer
meanwhile this is all he has listed on mobygames

the soccer moms won in the end, their victory just came in the form of dishonest sjws infiltrating the industry and corrupting it from the inside out, as opposed to the religious right wingers that only attacked it externally from the sidelines

imagine if the anti violence conservatives won and got anti-violence schizos into every video game company like soviet union commisars, this is basically the world we're in but with sjw loonys

Katniss Everdeen and her consequences have been a disaster for the female sex

>>715233107 (OP)
Because men liked her, and that's the opposite of what feminists wanted, they wanted a character which caused a constant discomfort on that fanbase.

Yet, they didn't foresaw the character basically being transformed into a parody of herself.

>>715233107 (OP)
she was too good for everybody

>>715235917
The religious tryhards always give up eventually.
The leftist power chasers never sleep.

>>715236581
The religious tryhards never gave up though?
They literally control the credit card companies for one. If you ever wonder why porn is so fickle and why anime is getting neutered, it's because Japan uses Western credit card companies for payments, and they have to answer to the Christcucks

>>715234461
Those same people feel intimidated by the prospect of public transport. I have no idea why anyone gives them the time of day.

>>715234461
Damn Linkin Park singer is lame as fuck

They gave up attacking video games seriously around 2009 after Jack Thompsons attacks on gta 4 failed

>>715233107 (OP)
too hot for today's plot

AOD Lara my beloved

>>715238497
AOD's graphics and art style are really great besides a lot of the NPC models. In fact I would prefer if new Tomb Raider games were made with that aesthetic rather than aiming for realism.

>>715238497
AoD is trash, always was, always will be.

>>715233107 (OP)
Was Tomb Raider even any good or did it just bank entirely on sex appeal?

>WOMEN NEED TO BE COMPETENT AND STRONG IN GAMES!
>NOOO NOT IF THEY'RE ALSO ATTRACTIVE!!

>>715239315
The first game is the best platformer of all time
2 is overrated and mostly sucks
3 and 4 are 9/10 games
Chronicles is decent
AoD is totally captivating

Yes they are fantastic games overall and worth playing through at least once in your life

>>715239315
The original? It was excellent.

this but in reverse

>>715239562
2 opens with a 10/10 level and then devolves into pure dogshit thereafter until you reach Tibet. Overall only like 4 good levels in the whole game. Before I played these games myself I always saw people btiching about TR3 being unfairly difficult or having too much trial and error but I believe that criticism applies much better to TR2 than any other TR game. TR2 is full of total bullshit design.

>sliding forward into unknown area
you only got yourself to blame

>>715240052
my other option was sliding backwards and grabbing the ledge, which of course ended up being the correct solution but could have equally fucked me if below the ledge there was nothing to drop down to except a fire pit. A first time player cannot make any sort of educated guess on what is at the end of that corridor. Horrible level design, no excuse.

>>715240138
you pull yourself back up and jump

>>715240185
You would be jumping backwards, which fucks you if there happens to be a ledge which you are supposed to grab but cannot reach unless you are holding the grab button, since you cannot grab ledges while jumping backwards even if you press Roll to turn around mid-jump.

The option in the webm was safest because it would have allowed me to either drop straight down without jumping or make a jump to a far away ledge depending on what I saw in the camera angle change.
