Thread 715634810

I've yet to play the classic Tomb Raider games but I am very fond of Legend series. It has that perfect mid 6th gen vibe to it and a great atmospheric score. Comfyness all-around.

I played classics but finished only half of LAU trilogy. I set hard difficulty in legend and these bike sections were a nightmare.

I've only played the classic series. Never really took a good look at the later games so I'm probably wrong with my assumption, but I always assumed they were souless reboots.

Damn this Lara was the semen demon

Ayo hol up

>>715636678

>>715634810 (OP)
Legend has some great cutscenes and not too long, the perfect length

>>715638132
gameplay is shit

>>715638132

Did you mean to imply something or are you just incapable of communicating without using twitter memes?

One of those games available as an early 7th gen release, but best played on previous gen. Art assets are much better on 6th gen hardware, and framerate is 60fps unlike 30 on 7th gen.

True about everything

my wife

BOOBA

>>715639405
PC let you switch between the two and it was night and day
Never before or since have I seen a cross gen game that looks so much worse in the later gen

do weall agree that legend is the best one?

>>715643135
It's a tie between Legend and Remaster for me

>>715643135
yeah

>>715634810 (OP)
Legends was a nice "modern" take on Tomb Raider before the little bow bitch era began and ruined her

>>715634810 (OP)
I preferred anniversary. i didn't care for the human combat and most of the levels didn't have as much as a wow effect as Anniversary's levels.
also Anniversery had actual boss fights which were fun.

>>715643135
I think so, i really loved her eye shadow and she had the most booba outfits of the entire series

>>715634810 (OP)
I liked the LAU games

>>715645968
I liked the underwater section when she's wearing the diving suit. I wish that part was longer.

>>715643135
By far, yeah.

>>715645968
>that unnecessary handstand move when she climbs up a ledge

>>715646091
That's underworld

>>715646312
>unnecessary

>>715647179
Nice.

>>715645468
Anniversary feels like a DLC.

>>715648863
i played it before i played legends so legends felt like a big step down and less polished

>>715649075
but it's the other way around

i still haven't played past the first few levels in 4remaster.. and haven't touched 5/6. gotta get back to it at some point

>>715651534
AoD Lara has even more insane eyeliner (and I love it)

>>715634810 (OP)
I like both kinds of games, but legends felt too "automated" for me when compared to the classics
Something as simple as movement in the classics was a challenge, and that's part of what made them so fun and unique. Then Legends comes out, and the controls are just as smooth and intuitive as any other 3D console action game, so instead of being like "aw yeah, I'm playing Tomb Raider", you're like, "why am I playing this when I could be playing God of War or Zelda or Devil May Cry"

>>715634810 (OP)
I don't remember the swimwear outfit.

Legends era gameplay looks very clumsy and the start of the Assassin's Creed style of "hold X and run forward" type of platforming. Classic games made the platforming the entire gameplay so it was more fun.

For me, it's LAU!Doppelganger Lara

>>715636670
LAU Lara was the first reboot yeah, inspired by the Angelina Jolie movies. It was the first time in the series Lara's motivations went from "raiding tombs for shits and giggles" to "raiding tombs because daddy did it first and I'm gonna finish what he started".

don't think so faggot, i'd rather torrent

croft manor........... home

I've been playing the remaster of 1 for the first time, back when I was a kid with just a PS1 demo disc I was too confused by the controls but now I really appreciate how precise everything is (except the combat which blows ass).
I now also understand why EGM kept making derogatory comments about box puzzles in so many articles and reviews, at the time I only experienced them from games where they weren't nearly as bad but Lara's box moving animations being so slow had to have some kind of story behind them among the devs because that shit is torture.

The problem with modern Tomb Raider is that they can't accept the fact that Laura is supposed to be a bad person. Like she's a bored rich kid who travels the world to loot heritage sites, trying to make her sympathetic is missing the point. She needs to be written like a borderline sociopath who is only better than the people she's killing because she wants to use the magical McGuffin as an ornament rather than to take over the world.

Play the 1-3 remasters with the gold edition mod from nexus. Fixes the fucked up tiling on the AI made textures among other tweaks. Wait a year for aspyr finally fix the 4-6 remasters.

Recently played the 2013 Tomb Raider and was surprised how much I liked it. 2013 was still a good year for soul in your games. I loved seeing the lack of women or minorities in the credits with all the pics of the devs.

>>715660702
It's a really pointless attempt at making her a "good tomb raider" when she's still taking artifacts from other cultures. The writing is just bad all around. At least classic Lara stayed consistent and wasn't trying to be a colonial white savior.

>>715662520
you owe me a blue (You)

>>715651534
>demaster

>>715662901
That only works when they make the game look worse and take away the original vision. You can change between both and full play the games with the classic graphics in the TR remasters.

stopped reading. kys

>>715656613
It never ceases to amaze me, the amount of people online who will espouse opinions on subjects they know absolutely nothing about. Nobody who'd actually played the LAU games would ever equate them to Assassins Creed of all things
>>715658094
>raiding tombs because daddy did it first and I'm gonna finish what he started
She's raiding tombs because her mum is trapped in Asgard

>>715645968
This is the only game I've ever played where you can play as a barefoot woman and her feet make that suction-ish sound they should make on hard surfaces like stone instead of still sounding like she has shoes on. I bet the devs were footfags.

>>715663057
Anniversary is all about daddy Croft

>>715663096
You're not gonna win over me on the hating of remakes little nigger, I created pic related and >>715497871. The TR remasters are still the exception to the rule
