Do people still care about Tomb Raider in 2025?

go back

Literally everyone knows tomb raider.

>>717923157 (OP)
yeah beacause they fucking raped the ip to death with faggotry

>>717923157 (OP)
No. It's a franchise best left forgotten.

you don't let women handle a woman character period. women are incredibly insecure about their looks, and even when faced with a fictional character they will inevitably try to make it ugly in order to feel better about themselves.

>>717923157 (OP)
no, it's been dragged through the mud since 2014 and destroying the classic Lara look was a feminist prestige project

The only chance Tomb Raider had to survive was if Square Enix ended up selling the IP to a japanese company back when Avengers almost killed them, but that didn't happen.

>>717923157 (OP)
The Crystal Dynamic years were dark years.
Best forgotten

>>717923157 (OP)
oh gee i wonder why that ip is dead. nothing at all comes to mind there

>>717923646
Underworld literally had the best Lara

huh I wonder why lara lost her cultural relevance
a mystery for the ages to be sure

I saw a Lara Croft reference in King of the Hill yesterday.

>>717923157 (OP)
>Household name
Was it? Your mom and dad would recognize Lara Croft?

>>717924029
My mom played Tomb Raider 1 for a bit, and we went to the cinema to watch the 2001 Tomb Raider movie together, so yes.

The only reason for this was because of Angelina Jolie

She was the Sydney Sweeney of 25 years ago (ok you may kill me after uttering this phrase), imagine if she played a game character, normies would learn about that character overnight

>>717923157 (OP)
More like it's the most overmilked franchise out there. Imagine if they had made, say, a dozen Gex games, a film adaptation series etc. Mario and Sonic got more, but they also have a whole cast of pretty well known characters and have branched out in various other genres and not just platformers.

>>717923157 (OP)
Who

>>717923157 (OP)
Lara deserved better than the last 15 years of the shitshow that happened to her franchise

>>717923157 (OP)
>make the whole series teenage daddy issues the game
>make her have "realistic" female figure out of fear of sexualising a fiction character
>story and gameplay is forgettable because no stakes other than save brown people in latest games
>wonder why nobody gives a fuck

>>717923157 (OP)
Blame the "I hate tombs" weirdly sexual torture porn reboot.
>0 boob Lara misses a QTE, she is impaled through the throat by a sharp rock *sexual gagging sounds play* as she wriggles and dies

>>717923157 (OP)
did people ever? (no)

>>717923157 (OP)
I cared about the 1 - 3 remasters at least. Everything else can fuck off. Okay, 4 was good, but 5 and 6 are awful and it only gets worse from there.

>>717923727
I disagree, bust too small
but certainly CD's best tomb raider

>>717924529
If a TR with the plot of AoD came out today everyone would cry it's a cuck game.

>>717925092
it was the only good part of the games, my favourite scene is when she falls into the pit of dogs I didn't realise they could do that legal wise.

>>717923157 (OP)
I saw a movie called Womb Raider. I coomed 15 times while watching it.

>>717923470
That's only true for Western women. Eastern women do the entire "Hold my beer," when a man draws a woman with a great tits and ass.

When I watch a quiz show if there's a video game question it's always about either Mario, Zelda, Sonic, or Tomb Raider, so I don't think there's any truth in that. unless you're talking about little kids I guess

>>717923470
Look up Vicky Arnold

>>717924029
It was my parents who introduced me to the classic games installed in the family computer, so yeah

>>717924949
She was a beautiful independent treasure hunter and then they turned her into a generic modern female protagonist.

>>717925425
>give woman reasonably big boobs
>EWW DELETE THIS
>have woman mangled to death by pack of rabid dogs
>NOW WERE TALKIN
the reboot was fucking weird

>>717925620
False, you are just a stupid weeb that doesn't understand women.

>>717925404
What the hell are you talking about. People would lose their shit when Kurtis gropes Lara at the end of the Louvre section lol

>>717923470
The new Lara games were an exception though, she became hotter than ever. The games themselves were underwhelming Uncharted copies though.

>>717925986
Do you also remember when your stepdad introduced you to playing hide the sausage at 2am in your room?

>>717923157 (OP)
no. it's been destroyed by feminists

Let's be honest, TR peaked with III.

There is indication the next tombraider is (4 player?) GaaS slop with lara leading a bunch of tombraiders, IP will be dead if true

I'm surprised nobody has posted any rule34

>>717925994
She was better than that. She was a fucking sociopath kleptomaniac who happened to be a 10/10.
>Whoops the artifact I stole will end the world lol
>Oh shit, the villain has it
>Goes to kill the villain. Not to save the world, but because that thing is HERS and it is going on HER mantelpiece. Saving the world is just the byproduct of this.

>>717926185
Let's be honest TR is just an uncharted knock off

>>717923157 (OP)
i didn't care about it in the 90s
it was a dumb tech demo playstation game that i was never sure what the appeal was

>>717926113
>she became hotter than ever.
She really didnt though. They completely toned down her curvy body, made her look more like an average mid white girl rather than a kickass supermodel with giant tits, shades, and cool outfits. Instead you get a plain jane in a tanktop with B cups and dirt smeared on her face. She da man now!
The entire point was to “lessen” the emphasis of DA MALE GAZE. Cant have female characters being too sexy.

>>717926271
it's worse than a knock off. the puzzles and platforming are fucking brain dead easy.

>>717926271
Terrible bait. Unless you're talking about modern TR which is true and was unnecessary.

>>717926215
Apparently in development hell now because of recent backlash with other Tomb Raider media. The netflix show was not well received and that woke tabletop RPG got shit canned.

>>717926113
>bombshell turned into flat chested Australian dyke
>SHES EVEN HOTTER
no

>>717926114
Well that came outta nowhere. Something to confess anon?

>>717926408
>Australian dyke
What?

>>717924029
It had a movie series with one of the biggest sex symbols of the early 200s and was a popular theme for rides at amusement parks

>>717926439
She has the face of an Australian dyke

>>717926113
they progressively increased her chin surface area with the second and third installments you goddamn retard. That it women being inesecure about fictional characters looks like.

>>717926326
>The entire point was to “lessen” the emphasis of DA MALE GAZE.
I still can't believe you have people in the industry openly saying this shit. Like why is the sexuality of half the population of the planet a bad thing? Surely to anyone healthy talking about socially engineering men to not like attractive women sounds positively insane.
Luckily the pushback got back enough for them to either stop or to be more secretive and therefore less effective with it.

>>717926438
You tell us sausage boy

>>717924029
>I'm a zoomer and I'm going to proudly announce my ignorance here
Lara Croft's name was up there with Mario in the 90s. Even people who didn't play games knew about her.

>>717926240
She's not heartless, she can show compassion to others but God help you if you get between her and an artifact she's chasing.

>>717926547
They always say representation matters, well what about girls with big boobs? They deserve representation too.

nu lara is no where near as hot as original lara croft

>>717926656
I knew a girl name Lara Craft. She was a pig but I fucked her.

>>717926113
zoomer Lara is decently attractive, while classic Lara is a sex symbol

>>717926731
no shame in having a fuck pig.

>>717926668
Tomb Raider 4s entire plot is her ignoring warnings and unleashing Set upon the world. Normally you could chalk that up to superstitious nonsense but Lara lives in a world where all myths and legends are provably true.

>>717926326
Her face is really good the issue was making it a serious game. When it was always a campy game about a chick with big tits

>>717926547
The problem is that this shit was taught in schools and companies letting the HR department get involved with the creative output.

We need the next generation to come in and chase out the woke culture out of production.

>>717925467
I remember Adam Sessler say something about womb raider during his review in relation to the rape scene

>>717926879
Well it seems to be happening. The only disappointing part (other than man hating psychos getting the power in the first place) is that nobody will ever be held accountable. It has damaged leftism across the west for at least a generation or two though.

>>717923470
>let a woman design girls for men
>she just takes everything thats popular with men
>gives em massive tiddies
>>>>>>always has at minimum one scene in the game where you turn into a shota and you an get ara ara breastfeedhandjob
You just gotta broaden you're horizons, anon.

>>717923157 (OP)
No, Tomb Raider was a bimbo explorer and that was a big nono around 2010's to the point that today they relate more Tomb Raider with bestiality porn

>>717923157 (OP)
They know the game's name, but they probably wouldn't know Lara Croft's name and they definitely wouldn't know what the games are like.

Most series that were heavily associated with PSX ended up in a similar boat, because Sony didn't own most of those franchises and even if they did they didn't put enough work toward keeping them in the public consciousness.

>>717923157 (OP)
Nobody ever cared about TR. It survived on the pointy chest meme with mid ass fuck games until become completely irrelevant because better games become more commonplace.

>this is actually not hot, trust me i'm a /v/amer
Hopefully the IP gets even more raped and you get some Debra Wilson Lara next maybe then you'll realize how stupid you were. Ungrateful pieces of SHIT

>>717923470
The original game had one female on the main dev team of six, and the lead writer was also female.

>>717928220
It's not. It's actually quite homely.

>>717928075
Poor bait or a stupid zoomer pretending to know anything about the better times.

>>717928220
pretty =/= hot

>>717924358
The only reason there was a movie was because the game series was already a household name. The TR movies were shit.

>>717928297
You have to be the biggest faggot in the history of faggots

>>717928268
>>717928361
ehh i guess

>>717928427
Faggot fanart =/= actual character

>>717928756
ehh i guess

>>717928268
>>717928361
I'm convinced these kind of opinions come from actual anime brainrot. ffs she's a bong and always has been, intended to have european features.

>>717928873
Shitty fan mods =/= actual character
Keep trying though and past the actual game character

>>717929197
ehh..

>>717929268
Fat cows cosplaying =/= actual character
Keep going and keep avoiding the actual game character model

fpbp

>>717926185
I agree, but IV is still worth playing and had the hottest Lara.

>>717923727
Shame she died in the first mission of the game

>>717929332
ehhh...

>>717923157 (OP)
Since when did lara wear knee-high boots?

>>717929471
In the Angelina Jolie movies.

>>717929471
God. What a gay post.

>>717923157 (OP)
NuRaider killed it.

>>717929595
Angel of darkness killed it

She ironically had her big moment then faded away just like real women stars.

Nulara is a different character with a different appeal, let just leave it at that.

>>717929678
Legend, Anniversary and Underworld came out after those, and they were pretty good.

Honestly, they should have leaned into sex-appeal even harder than they did, but they tried to take themselves all serious early on. Why don't all the games have sexy alt costumes to put Lara in? Would have been an easy slam dunk.
