Why I Hate This New Tomb Raider

new tomb raider Why I Hate This New Tomb Raider

Something is off here, I am not sure what’s going on but for some reason the non Tomb Raider players with blogs out there are trying to paint us die-hards as pervs who cared for the franchise only because Lara had big boobs, a nice ass and a British accent. This really pisses me off, especially knowing that for all my perversions, lusting after Lara was not one of them.

As an Indiana Jones fan growing up I remember the day when Tomb Raider launched and I ignored it. Then one day my roommate in college left for the summer and I had the place to myself during summer school where the women were few, the days long, and the time boring. He had left his Playstation with Tomb Raider on it and out of boredom I popped it in, took it for a spin and lost my mind. From that day on I have played every Tomb Raider and enjoyed them with the exception of 3 and Angel of Darkness. That’s right, I enjoyed the gameplay that you casuals bitch about on every new release of a sequel. I was not one of the pervs forcing her to crawl backwards so that I can scope out polygon ass, or backing her up against a wall so that I can see polygon boobs. I actually played the frickin game, I am a fan of Tomb Raider not polygon booty.

They are trying to paint us die-hards as pervs

So yes when I saw this new Lara Croft and her boyish, Loli body and cuts and bruises I rolled my eyes at their supposed “fix” of a game series that I have always loved. What game will they be emulating for new Lara I wonder and will this be the time that she and I go our separate ways? There was nothing wrong with Lara, there was something wrong with her games after the greatness of the original 2. But to fans like myself we enjoyed the last game, but of course bloggers who didn’t really play it wrote it off in lieu of making fun of real life Lara Croft model Alison Carrell.

So consider this a gigantic fuck you to all bloggers and new fanbois for this “reboot” that judge us old fans as if the game never mattered to us. I hope for the series sake that they can find an engine that will satisfy your salty asses as much as the new 12-year old looking Lara does.

    I really could not have said it better myself… I looked at the new one and was really kinda pissed, this is NOT Lara. I’m sure all the adolescents who probably started playing at the “Tomb Raider A.O.D time, probably thought that was awesome too. All I can say is I hope it flops and the makers will go back to making Lara the way she was envisioned, not the way ppl thought she should be. I don’t even think I’ll buy it. If they didn’t smack the Tomb Raider Lara Croft name on there it might actually be a decent game.

    I dislike this new game. We don’t need an origin story. More importantly, we don’t need all the dramatic events. When I play Tomb Raider, I want to have fun while playing the game, not get depressed from all the shit that happens to her.

    And who the fuck chose Alison Carroll as the model? Lara is a woman, not a girl. That girl wouldn’t last a minute in a tomb and looks nothing like an adventurer. Personally, I think the best real-life version of Lara Croft is Angelina Jolie. Regardless of how the films did critically, Jolie does fit the role perfectly.

    I have played all Tomb Raider games and have to say I am not interested nor impressed by this one. No, I am not narrow-minded either. I believe change is good but that doesn’t mean every change is good. The new approach for Tomb Raider being one of them. I will pass on this one.

    I agree 100 percent. i will ot even bother with this one and I have played them all up to anniversary. its just not lara anymore.
    I didn’t even rate anniversary, but I would welcome that over thos new abomination. I always liked the gameplay of the old tombraiders not the look of laras ‘boobs’

    I think people are making fun of you because you’re whining like a high speed drill over a game that hasn’t been released yet.

    And also because you have a really weird idea of what 12 year old girls look like.

      Well said.

    Boyish and 12 years old? What kind of women have you been seeing? What kind of boys and 12-year-olds have you been seeing?

    It’s fine if you don’t like the reboot BUT

    A) Bitch about something other than simply the appearance (especially when you’re adjectives are…. just… wrong). Talk about gameplay, character development or SOMETHING in additions.

    B) If you’re trying to say that men who play Tomb Raider aren’t all just shallow pervs (which I agree, many enjoyed the game) ONLY bitching about her “less attractive” appearance re-asserts the very stereotype you’re trying to prove wrong…..

    Logic: you have none.
