Dark and Edgy Tomb Raider includes attempted rape

Or outfit her with a huge cock.

Flashbacks in other games show that Lara was a precocious, curious, bold young woman, not a shrinking violet victim. The new Tomb Raider doesn't give gamers the opportunity to play a compelling character, it gives them the opportunity to watch torture porn.

Truth. But the decline of Lara already started with Legend and Underworld, and even a little in Anniversary, where she'd get slightly emo instead of just being badass.
Tomb Raider 1: you kill those thugs who steal your weapons and Lara is all like AWW YEAAH
Tomb Raider Anniversary: you kill those thugs who steal your weapons and the expression on Lara's face is regretful because she just killed a person

It's like Indy taking off his hat after blowing up a tank that was just about to fire at him.

I don't know, I wouldn't immediately dismiss this. Like you say, it depends on the context.

That's what I say for each rape.

More seriously, I do hope it's a QTE I can fail on purpose.

98% of players failed a specific QTE

Interesting approach. At the end of the game, reveal that she is a MtF transsexual.

This will also take care of the boob growth canon as they can all be successive operations funded by action archaeology.

Oh my god! We need to streamline it further!

 

[GarfunkeL]

Lots of ado over nothing.

Source?

 

[JarlFrank]

Yeah, it should be 99% at least.

 

[MetalCraze]

It has QTEs now?


Why the fuck people enjoy them? I can't understand.

normal gameplay commands have you do preset actions suitable for reacting to most gameplay events, i.e. move, shoot, jump, hit button

in QTE an unique or elaborate skillful maneuver can be presented in a cinematic and compelling way with exciting visuals seperate from normal gameplay view but with simple controller commands as the requirement for succeeding

this will further immerse the player into the role of a badass who does awesome things with one button

in the case of visceral non-combat events like opening grates with repeated presses this conveys the feedback of sustained character effort
as pressing a button several times is harder than pressing the button once, which demonstrates the difficulty of the task to the player and results in greater obstacle surmounting satisfaction, which in turn imparts emotion to the act of opening grates

Why don't you ad block them and visit, costing them bandwith but giving them no ad money?

I played the first one on the PlayStation. Bill Clinton was president at the time. What is this shit again?

Can we make her take a bath? She's so dirty. Goddamn.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

She's so dirty.

this entertainment product is taking a stand against those damn dove advertisements

women can be naturally beautiful too when covered in soil and their own blood

Can we make her take a bath? She's so dirty. Goddamn.

By the logic so far, at the end of the game you make her take a bath, wear a dress and go to a good college...

she still has to be cared for after she escapes the island after all

and what better way to understand the opposite gender than to take up their challenging role when going on a blind date in civilisation and make sure the evening goes well

and then choosing from her emotional dialog trees when she wakes up screaming about jungle scavenger rapists next to her boyfriend

Suddenly, you're playing Tomb Raider Maker 2...

I do, but the less intelligent codexers might not

Plus visiting them still gives them hits that they can use to "prove" to others (their readers, advertisers) that they are "relevant".

Best to just not go there at all, adblock or not.

Fixed.

Man, meltdown is on a roll. I'm already emotionally engaged!

Bro, it's a joke. On how players would intentionally fail the QTE to see Lara getting raped.

And she's not getting raped in the game. Not even close. Case closed.

Sure - clean skin DLC, only $4.99

But she was groped, which is ALMOST RAPE

Who cares about the official Tomb Raider sequel when the fans go on making FMs.
