people loved Lara Croft but they only tolerated Tomb Raider

>>12103560 (OP)
Tomb Raider games are very popular with women

>>12103560 (OP)
it was crystal dynamics that only tolerated tomb raider

>>12103568
They want to be a rich Bri'ish slag, like Lara

>>12103560 (OP)
God I love big polygonal female butts

Did boomers really shit and piss and cum their pants over this low poly garbage?

>>12103635
Millennials actually, but yeah

>>12103635
Nude Raider was unironically the most anticipated mod of the 90s

>>12103560 (OP)
Lara as a phenomenon was funny. She was sold as this hyper sexual feminist rage bait, and pop culture generally was aware of the character and thought of her like this, but the actual games had real involvement from women in their design, avoided demeaning the character and were appreciated by the women who actually played them.

Modern Lara OTOH is this extremely ryona fetish pandering character who actually makes for a great CGI fuckdoll.

>>12103560 (OP)
loved TR, liked Lara, simple as.

Breast cancer?

Tomb Raider sold more copies than Metal Gear Solid. You can't do that on sex appeal alone.

>>12103560 (OP)
Not true. You made up that lie to claim it's all about the tits. The games were fun. The worlds were massive with a lot of richly-designed levels, and they gave you a real sense of exploring that most modern games still don't have.

>>12103568
this is true, my sister finished all the original games.

>>12103635
You spent 95% of the game looking at her ass, so yeah.

>>12103635
The renders though

>>12103560 (OP)
controls were shit and levels were boring but she was iconic cause she had fat tiddys before the internet was mainstream.

>>12105809
Sex appeal plus bare minimum competence, though? Sure.

Holy faggot. LGBT is that way ---->

Tomb Raider 1 was ground breaking when it came out.

I should reinstall TRX.

Even as kid I was like "the renders look like a plastic barbie doll, and everyone is just pretending to get turned on by this".

>>12106564
Funny, I was saying the same thing about Final Fantasy 7.

should i get the tomb raider I-III collection? never played them

>>12106691
Yea, those are the best ones.

>>12106185
we love Lara

>>12106774
I bought several magazines with her on the cover. Now I got a collection of nude pics and vids of her on my hard drive.

Great fucking series. There's something incredibly genuine about the game world. The textures, the sounds, the layout. Everything felt like it belonged and it sucked you in. I wonder how they did it.

>>12106138
This. The games are really well made puzzle platformers with minor combat. Some levels puzzles are just awesome

>>12107219
>I wonder how they did it.
They were British

>>12103635
low poly lara is for high test only

>>12103560 (OP)
They're decent exploration games which were considered bangers in the Gen 1 3D era. Don't be retarded.

>>12106564
Low test "im abuv bean horby" fag

>>12106256
so doa and rumble roses also outsold metal gear

>>12107252
I'm not above being horny. Lara is shit at making me horny. That's what I'm saying.
You know there were fighting games like Street Fighter and King of Fighters out at this point, that actually have smoking hot women in them?

>>12103560 (OP)
Revisionist retard. What youtuber gave you that opinion.

>>12103560 (OP)
The atmosphere of these games is fucking incredible.

No sensory ovearload, no non-stop music.

Just you, quietness, nature and exploring. It's almost zen like. It only had music in rare moments and that's what made it amazing. You genuinely felt like you are in some exotic place that was abandoned 1000 years ago.

Women and gay men were always the backbone of the TR community.

>>12107728
And of any community to begin with. A game does not need a community, just players.

>>12103560 (OP)
this series ran itself into the ground faster than anything I can think of

1 and 2: great, classics
3: ok
4: bad
5: horrible
6: literally killed the studio

>>12103635
We get it, you need 4k VR hardcore porn to get a chub so this is unfathomable for you.

>>12108019
Mortal Kombat takes the cake imo, between 1995-1997 it went from a mainstream series to C-list status with kusoge spinoffs (Sub Zero Mythologies, Special Forces).

>>12108019
Accurate listing

>>12108019
wasn't 6 bad because the studio was already dead and they weren't allowed to finish developing the game?
