Tomb Raider. They used an entirely different woman who also happened to be named Lara Croft.

What type of shit DC did this time?
Carter Flores
Fuck Batman

Is doomsday clock finished yet? Did they bring back the pre-flashpoint canon yet too?
Bentley Williams
Fuck, it's been so long since I've kept up with DC. Last time I tried was DC Rebirth. I really want to get back into my favorite fictional universe but fuck, everything seems like it went to shit awhile ago.
That was a straight up reboot, not that it makes it any good.
Brody Cox
They did a combined universe thing where Dr Manhattan is an evil God for some raeson.
Jonathan Miller
No, it got delayed again. And, yes but not in the way you might think

Metal Gear Solid V
It's bullshit.
Adam Sullivan
Mgsv is a spin-off like pw
Jaxon Phillips
What are you talking about? It's part of the main series. The whole Venom Snake bullshit is canon now.
Logan Cooper
I've never played any of the Metal Gear games.
Is it anything like this video? youtube.com
If so I might give them a look.
Jordan Gutierrez
PW is not spin off
Alexander Adams
Moore wouldn't talk to DC anymore (maybe except for Jim Lee).

Games generally speaking don't do retcons. They do reboots, but reboots are kind of always implied to be their own continuity that has no contact with the older version.
I guess the biggest example would be something like Kingdom Hearts, which had a relatively straightforward story at the start but the spinoff games kept adding so much bullshit to it that it became incomprehensible.
Cameron Young
Not quite. Metal Gear Rising was made by Platinum Games and is a little more over the top.
Metal Gear Solid is political by nature but it's more subtle and delves more into secret societies (the Patriots, etc)

That's japanese games in general, I've noticed.. after a few games the stories become to convoluted with bullshit that it just doesn't make sense.
I heard someone say they value twists over a coherent story in order to make people surprised, then they write themselves into a corner.. it seems to be true.

And WC3 reforged will probably ruin shit as well.
