Will Tomb Raider ever recover from the damage caused by the latest trilogy?

they made lara unlikeable, also the games are shit

Tomb Raider was literally like Resident Evil, a miracle born from hardware limitations of the time that could never be replicated in modern times at the same degree.
>graphics look like shit
>it's actually helpful because that makes it hard to figure out where to go
>tank controls and early 3D animations make it vital to time jumps and calculate where to jump, whether it was vital to spring from the very edge of the platform or not
>that makes for thorough exploration and challenging platforming
What we got later
>Uncharted with semi-open world gimmicks.

BIG BOOBY WOMAN MAKE PEEPEE HARD! ME WANT BIG BOOBY WOMAN!!!

They really beat the shit out of her in the new games. Getting impaled by rebar, stabbed, attempted rape, spiked through the throat.

Dilate

I hope animopron does something with dogs next

Nu lara is hotter, stay mad faggot

Oh no muh tiddies and awful controls
Shadow is a good game and a good tomb raider game. Whine harder.
It wasn't the new trilogy that did that. It was Core fucking up. Turns out if you don't maintain what you have even for a short while, you won't get it back. The legends trilogy was good, but it wasn't good enough to get back the status TR had at the start.

DELET! This is an unrealistic depiction of the female form and NO real woman could attain it.

Females can still be attractive, they just can't be attractive and shapely. They have to like nu lara with very little figure and just be as vanilla and bland as possible.

Where the fuck do you people even come from? Are you just constantly here as some invasion from somewhere else? Get a fucking life.

The NuLara Tomb Raiders are essentially just Uncharted games except with an area-gated open world. Lara's generally played up as a girl who is constantly getting beaten up, injured, or just has bad things happen to her in general while trying to act tough and make it out alive. She didn't even like tombs in 2013 and only with Rise did they actually start having you visit ancient areas or derelict places instead of just one big old area with some side tombs. They basically made her to be the "Strong and stoic" woman who doesn't show off her sexuality and can prove she's strong when instead she ends up covered in mud, sweat, torn clothing, shows off her ass constantly, and generally acts quite sexual which is hilarious when it comes to how they keep trying to push her.

OldLara was more charismatic, she was able to hold her own, she wasn't bound by realism and was able to do more fantastical things (Like fighting dinosaurs for instance), and the gameplay was more puzzle-esque but still filled with action. NuLara has some of those in its structure but it doesn't really want to work with it and tries to stick far more with realism for some insane reason considering the source material. They even refuse to have NuLara carry around her dual pistols for some idiotic reason, particularly since at the end of 2013 she had two.

It's understandable why the older fans dislike her, she's basically the complete antithesis to what the older one was and so are her games.

I was thinking just the other day how Lara Croft was indeed a big mainstream icon. She was even an answer to a question on a quiz show recently, the guys clearly don't play games but they knew Lara Croft.

Based user thinking of the right things.

New-lara is much more attractive than old lara

It was kind of funny because original Lara was a sex object but she wasn't a bimbo. She was self assured, confident, even egotistical and had the skills to back up her words. New Lara was alternating between waifish damsel in distress and murder machine Rambo constantly in the first game and she still never developed a personality as well rounded as old Lara. Plus the original Lara had her own distinct look. The new one has no distinguishing characteristics at all besides "she uses a bow".

perfect for horsecocks.

She had some pretty big tits, just nowhere as big as original Lara.

Damage? I'm pretty sure the latest trilogy was highly successful. Even Shadow, which was probably the weakest of the series is around 7/10 on metacritic, which means it's a good game.

Looks fine to me. A message to women go fuck yourselves your gender is shit and i can't wait till we start to go back to TAKING what we want.

Real talk; was Tomb Raider ever good? I know that Lara Croft is an icon and everything, but I can't remember ever seeing anyone praising the games themselves as anything above average (and even that is usually just so they can say that most of the games are actually worse than the one 'decent' entry in the franchise)

Shadow was actually my favorite

I don't think old Lara is possible in our modern world. Maybe only in more cartoonish depiction.

I heard the first one was decent, the second game was okay and the latest one was subpar with the only advantage being graphics benchmarking. Not a good sign.

Nah the old tomb raider games aged like milk. The new ones are way better.

No the whole franchise is already dead.

cute!

Shadow sucked pretty hard compared to 1 and 2

1 was great, 2 was great until the end.

2 built up side characters just to leave them behind with no closure, thier prophet dies and laura just fucks off? That was my biggest gripe.

Shadow just felt underwhelming compared to the others.

First one was decent and actually has a great area but story-wise it's ridiculous. Lara has a gaping open wound and gets grabbed by a bear trap within the first hour while wading into both water filled with corpses and even pools of blood and becomes Rambo by the end of the game.
Rise was great, a massive improvement over 2013, had a pretty decent story with likable characters (Especially Jacob), they wanted you to use stealth far more and it felt like a welcome change, they had more inventive fighting arenas that could be handled different ways, more mechanics to utilize, etc. It also had lots of ancient area exploration which was nice. Only shame was the supernatural element was far lamer than ancient possessed samurai and less fun to fight.
I've heard Shadow toned down on combat arenas hard to prioritize exploration more, but there's some annoying features like having to wear certain outfits to explore certain areas at all. Still have to play it.
