      @@mugen1777 They've had a superiority complex from day one, have completely and utterly destroyed Lara Croft and everything that made her an icon, and consistently (all the way up to 2018's SOTTR) make jabs at Core Design (who has LONG since been out of business) in their TR games. I love to break it to them, so; without Core Design, they wouldn't even have Tomb Raider to work on. They need to learn some respect bc the disrespect is absolutely disgusting. It's not hard to see why people hate them.

      They still censored some stuff of Tomb Raider, at least i heard of that. At least they removed the censorship and i dont even see any point for that. I am playing the remasters 1-3 right now and damn i love it (i am nearly there where the t-rex is comming xD), especially the music. What i dont understand it is why they call the old Tomb Raider games racist, at least you see a text with that when you start the game. Why do these people always try to find any evidence of racism, even that there was nothing?

Heck even all the enemies in the Nevada level are all stereotypical American bikers (working at a dam for some reason).

    I just wish Lara actually progressed into the badass that she is in the original games from the 2013 reboot. But she never did.

Are they trying to destroy her character on purpose? Do they not want my money? So weird...

      It's been over 20 years since we last saw the iconic Lara Croft that we all know and love (15 years if you still count the "Legend" games). There's literally no incentive for them to go back to that version of Lara. The reboots created an entirely different fanbase for those who like the new games, dividing the Tomb Raider fans between new and old. The only reason they keep promising to toe the line between new and old is because they want to string the old fans along for more profit, but honestly if they had to make a cold hard choice to go back to old or stick with the new, they will always stick with the new. Old fans are a dying breed, and dying breeds don't help a company progress.

      I agree with you and I think it's funny how they say OG Lara couldn't exist today due to 'colonization' concerns. There are so many ways to address this with good writing! Imagine if Lara were hired by governments around the world to help find relics, or if she sent her findings to local museums as part of the story. Even receiving items as a thank you would add a layer of respect and collaboration. Easy peasy! This would only enhance her image as a good role model since she helps people, while keeping her as the adventurous tomb raider she’s always been. The original Lara thrived on raiding tombs for sport-remember her magazine cover in the very first game? There's nothing wrong with that OG Lara, except for the lack of creativity from writers who miss out on expanding her story with simple, yet meaningful, changes.

The survivor trilogy is decent and they are good games but it doesn’t rlly feel like tomb raider. Like I liked the stealth and shooting sections but it was more gun based rather than exploration as well. I liked the 2013 one a lot compared to the last 2. I just hope her character returns to either AOD or Legend Lara as they were my personal faves. Lara being sassy and sometimes rude was fun to watch XD.

    I personally enjoyed Legend, Anniversary and Underworld and I didn't mind the newer Tomb Raider titles, but none of them came anywhere close to the joy I got from the original games.
    I miss the days when we had mysterious and epic places to explore like St Francis Folly, Lost Valley etc, plenty of mythological creatures to fight like Yeti's and the Dragon....not the odd 1 or 2 leopards and a few mercenaries like we got in the newer adaptions.
    I'm honestly more excited for the remasters coming in February.

      This reboot only have the name of the character and franchise but they are not TR, not because of GP but how they wrote Lara's character it has nothing to do with the lara we all know. and no is not because she's your cause u have chronicles, The first level of Last revelation where shes young and she's is not the same way this Crybaby is. Sadly u knew her in the worst trilogy.

Something tells me there's new people running Crystal Dynamics. Not the same people who did Legacy of Kain. Silicon Knights made the original Legacy of Kain game. That's also the same company who made Eternal Darkness, that underrated Horror game on GameCube. But they also made Twin Snakes unfortunately. So yeah. Even talented Devs can have some bad games under their belt.

    the fact Amazon is involved, you can expect the next mainline installment
    won't be like the classics. that being said im surprised Crystal is doing
    the game at all, because Square was the publisher after buying it from
    Eidos Interactive. so i thought they sold it to Embracer group, the people
    that are doing the remasters. but it looks like they may have sold it to
    Amazon, unless Square just gave the series over to Crystal. but that would
    be kind of weird for them, considering they had a falling out with Crystal
    Dynamics. i don't know what the story, but they already wrapped up
    the reboot trilogy, so the next game likely won't be related at all.
    the question is, what kind of game are we getting, and how old will Lara be.
    i don't have much hope for the series after Shadow and Rise,
    only the first game was any good, even though it's still not Tomb Raider.
    but atleast that Lara had some resemblance to classic and Legends
    Lara, Underworld comes to mind. but the games after that, Rise and Shadow
    were modeled after the voice actor, but the first game had someone else.

    My main concern is them calling it "unified" but all they will really do is put their version into the classic outfit with dual pistols and call it a day. As a 96' fan this is not the representation i'm looking for and is only "skin" deep.
    The survival version of the character was meant to evolve into the classic character we remember and i've been waiting for that since 2013. That being said these versions have become so drastically different that they are essentially different characters at this point, which is sad for old fans.
    Lara Croft is a badass - intelligent, strong yet incredibly feminine, former aristocrat and her own confident person. She lives her life her way and with a sense of discovery and thrill. She doesn't wear converse with a dress or shy away from being "proper British." She knows who she is and doesn't second guess herself. I know you all miss this character too.
    Also stop with the crying and the little bird nonsense please. I don't see classic Lara putting up with it.

    Hey there! I just found your channel recently and I just wanna say I love your TR content and stances which I mostly agree with. One thing I wanna say is that I don't mind if Lara's adventures start focusing on different motives throughout her games, whether it's her family, friends, past, lovers whatever. Remember AOD was entirely different than the rest of the games up to that point and the story still worked perfectly in the Core Design era. Changing her personality is where it became a huge deal breaker for me. I actually enjoyed the LAU trilogy because badass Lara was still present. Even TR 2013 was fine because I was open to the idea of seeing Lara who she was before becoming independent and confident. It was with RoTR where all the issues began for me because it seemed like Crystal Dynamics wanted to keep this Lara longterm, thus making this victim-loserish the personality to remain on, which really sucks.

    I played Tomb Raider back in the day on my Sega Saturn where it released first in EU, later I got the PS1 version as well, bought it off of someone wanting to get rid of it. I liked it. When Tomb Raider 2 released, I bought it but... was disappointed because suddenly the main game play was not you running around in one or the other tomb with mainly exploration and occasional animals as enemies, now it was humans as enemies mainly. You ran around in Venedig. That made me not interested in Tomb Raider anymore, just out of coincidence I got my hands on a Dreamcast Tomb Raider (4 or 5, I don't remember anymore) which I also didn't like and thus never finished.
    Years later, in 2007 they released Tomb Raider: Anniversary which I took a look at and... because it was a remake of the first Tomb Raider I liked... allot. Played it, beat it, loved it. That made me take another look at the main series, Tomb Raider Legends and so, which I didn't like. I looked at Tomb Raider : Underworld, which again I didn't like.
    I played 2013s "Tomb Raider" which was fun enough, but I did not like those quick time events, they where so bad.
    I don't know why, but they keep going away from what Tomb Raider 1 did, and did well... and it turns into a generic game like many others like it.
