Oversensitive dimwits with nothing better to do with their lives are determined to ruin this game.

Valenka4345d ago

I couldn't agree more. I've been in a two day argument with some snooty bitch over at The Average Gamer who wrote an article claiming rape was used as a plot device. Clearly, the idiot hadn't watched the video because as Crystal Dynamics stated, the confrontation doesn't go any further that what was shown.

Like you said, they've got nothing better to do with their lives.

Winter47th4345d ago

Are they actually trying to eliminate rape by presuming the game supports rape?

GuyThatPlaysGames4345d ago

What's more pathetic and shows that even YOU don't have anything better to do with your life is the fact that you spent two days arguing over a videogame!

da_2pacalypse4345d ago

I don't understand... Why does it even matter? lol If they use it as a plot device, then good for them. You don't know how it's going to play out until you play the game. Why are people freaking out over such small things?

There are bigger problems in the world that Lara Croft being raped! lol

Kurt Russell4345d ago (Edited 4345d ago )

All the things wrong with this world, and they're wasting time over something as trivial as this. I wish my life was that closed off and perfect that this becomes my greatest worry.

badz1494345d ago

I do think that the "moaning" sound in question should be toned down a bit and I don't think that it will ruin the experience

Jazz41084345d ago (Edited 4345d ago )

This is a mature game. If they don't like it then don't play it. Many movies have shown rape as in the accused which was full blown rape. I don't think rape is right but its showing things that happen in life and kiling people is not right either but it happens in the real world. People need to just shut the hell up as are hobbie is getting ruined by cry babies and entitleist.

It's interesting that people want video games to compete on the same artistic level as movies/television and books, but when developers try to add realism to their games, the critics go crazy.

WitWolfy4345d ago

Yeah I freaking hate it! I loved the scene where you see how Lara desperately tries to defend herself.. The emotion in that scene sent shivers down my spine when I first saw it.. MAde this games WOW factor 10 up!

miyamoto4345d ago

That rape scene sure reminded me of Heavy Rain instantly.

but even at low polygon count, Lara used to give gamers a boner just by getting out of the water. so CD might be banking on that here.

BISHOP-BRASIL4345d ago

Even if CD is counting on that... Have you any idea of how many suspense movies out there have highly recognized sexy symbol actress that make highly sexualized rape streuggle scenes?

Why is it ok in movies and not in games? I mean, everyone can have their opinion, some will like it and some don't, but do we really have any reason to pick at CD now?

This man speaks from the heart.

It is just a video game god damn it!!!

negroguy4346d ago

This didn't even cross my mind at all. The only way I thought of this was by reading their statement.

AgreeFairy4346d ago

Not sure why they named this girl Lara as she's nothing like the real Lara Croft. This girl is whiny & useless.

Lord_Sloth4345d ago (Edited 4345d ago )

Do you ever tire of saying things of less than average intellect?

Sarcasm4345d ago

*sigh*

The game is about her becoming the lara croft everyone knows.

People are who they are because of what they experience in their past.

An example is that Green Berets don't become Green Berets by doing IT classes.

The Best Tomb Raider Games Ranked

We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.

I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂

Pyrofire9572d ago

Would it be worth saying why?

ZeekQuattro72d ago

Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

-Foxtrot72d ago

Zeek

“Hating”

No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies

But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.

MeatyUrologist72d ago

Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.

I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?

RavenWolfx73d ago

I would agree Rise for 1 and the reboot as 2. Shadow is a bit high, though.

Sonic188172d ago (Edited 72d ago )

I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy

Pyrofire9572d ago

That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)

MeatyUrologist72d ago

Agrees. First two are correct but Shadow should be around 5-6.

terstomp72d ago

For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.

jznrpg72d ago

I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.

robtion72d ago

Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
