Tease "becoming Tomb Raider" for three games over 5 years

>First game teases dual pistols
>never seen again

She's rich as fuck, she could easily just have safehouses outside BritBongia full of weaponry, but again SHE'S RICH.

The three nuRaider games are almost completely indistinguishable to me.

shadow of the tombraider was going to lead into tombraider 1 with natla and atlantis but it got patched out of the ending before the game releases

It's okay, the reboot games are for dumb fucking niggers anyway.

>american knife meme

First one actually lost them money.
This is why Rise was an XBOX exclusive for a long time, but they were forced to release it on PC and PS4 anyway because sales weren't as good.
Still it was enough to make Shadow, but it was another team this time and game had a lot of shit DLC politics, including pic related with so many different editions, and not a SINGLE one containing ALL of the content.

Binning that KNOIFE is part and parcel of living in the UK and quintessentially British. Furthermore if you keep posting illegal opinions I'll be forced to contact the local authorities so they can confiscate all your spare bicycle wheels, unless you have the proper LOICENSE of course.

Honestly i am surprised how in their eyes changing an independent badass chick who solely raided many tombs and fought off multiple men, including Yakuza etc. to some friendship dependent bitch is more feminist, because that's obviously what they wanted to do.

She raids her mom's tomb in Rise.

Watch him get butthurt and bring up mass shootings, fat people etc because bongs give banter but can't take

Wait so 2013 and Rise had the same team, and this team inexplicably changed Jonah race between the games?

different studios, different writers

>we will see Lara becoming the one we know from old games
That never happened either. All CD did was promise that we're going to see Lara become the Tomb Raider. Not the thrill seeking/artifact destroying/t rex fighting/wise cracking acrobat she was in the ps1 days.

>uhh umm well uhh
LMAO

I think he was supposed to be Pacific Islander in both 2013 and Rise, but they fucked up the returning caracters faces in Rise especially Lara's.

saucy

It's so much worse
>Third game, your plane just crashed because Lara is a retard
>Go get your suitcase, it has equipment!
>Find the suitcase, open it expecting something good
>It's a literal basic bitch bow, not even some state of the art polymer amazing fuckoff bow, no, just wood and string and you upgrade it with basic parts you buy off of markets in the middle of fucking nowhere
>This is the "equipment" Lara decided to pack on her endeavor to combat trinity
>A fucking wooden bow

>I am fucking glad every single of the reboot games were a financial failure.
No they weren't, they sold millions.
2013's Tomb Raider is the most sold game of the franchise.
Hell, the three reboot games put together sold more than the res of the games.

those triple headshots though

It's Tomb Raider, who gives a fuck?
It's a has-been franchise that should have died like 20 years ago.
It's only gimmick is something that many games already do while having more to them.
This franchise is a relic from the past.

reminder that there are people that say nu-raider games have "compelling narratives"

Most sold =/= most profit.
The games are incredible in graphical sense and clearly a lot of budget went into them.
Older games weren't that demanding.

>The games are incredible in graphical sense and clearly a lot of budget went into them.
Dude what, there's nothing good about them beyond Lara's hair, and that's only in Rise and Shadow.

Tomb Raider was one of it's kind literally until Uncharted appeared.
Untiil LAU trilogy there was really no game like it and there wont be.
Puzzle focused arcade style gameplay i no longer profitable, especially after Uncharted stole all the fans of "Indiana Jones styled" games.

The first reboot failed to sell as much as they wanted after release but in 2014 it finally gave the profit back. Still it was too late and it became an XBOX exclusive for some time.

iirc they wanted TR2013 sell as much as GTA5
it was something completely ludicrous that only an out of touch corporate suit can come up with

>The first reboot failed to sell as much as they wanted after release
Because Square Enix is fucking retarded.
The 2013 game sold 13 million copies, and for them that wasn't enough, even though those are Battlefield numbers.

>crying indecisive Lara
Crying indecisive Lara makes my dick hard.

That shit is pure fucking aids ubisoft does it all the time.

Problem is that nuLara could easily get the looks of the old one with few fixes and hairstyle change but they actively choose not to.
It's like they want to cut themselves completely from the originals and want their own OC to be the protagonist.

Square Enix is literally run by retards

part of me wants more old school tr1-5 games, but i know they'll fuck it up, and i've only beaten 1 and 2, partially beaten 3, and barely touched 4 and 5. so until i finish them all i don't really have an argument to wanting more. that said the new games are too focussed on combat and not enough on platforming. also, needs more big sprawling tomb areas, not just little vignettes

Well it is a reboot. Hardly a shocking decision on their end.

There are pics of her nu model with different hairstyle etc. and makeup and she really does look like old one.
Makes me think that they really did initially plan to make her change into Classic Lara but then decided on forcing that "grounded" look and survivor style.

You should also play the Legend trilogy. The gameplay is more streamlined and easy with more action (not as much as reboots at least) but it has by far the best Lara from whole games.
An actually cheeky wisecracking sexy acrobat with personality.

I dropped the series at 4.
1 and 2 were perfect, especially 1. 3 was like the game version of a nigger.

4 is just more of the same and too fucking long.

Don't listen to Tomb Raider Legend sucks dick and the best game in the trilogy is the remake of Tomb Raider 1. Finish 3 and TLR first.

i played about an hour of legend and underworld but they didn't really grab me, but i beat anniversary like twice, love that game. i own them all on steam though, eventually i'll get through em

Braid hair style was found in the Shadow game files. The game was supposed to end with Lara getting a letter from Natla. The final cancelled DLC was a Croft Manor one that was very reminiscent of the TR3 Manor. It even included voice lines of Lara telling you what to do like in the originals.

Something clearly went wrong along the way. I do like Shadow the most because there's less shooting and they brought back stuff like underwater swimming and there are a lot of tombs.

i love how hard 3 is. first level of 3 is like the final levels of 2 in difficulty. it's like they just assumed players mastered the first 2 games, no fucking around

I mean, I enjoyed it overall but I played the PSX version and you have limited saves in that. It's so unfun to have to replay large chunks of the game just because the game decided to throw a random boulder on you.

Didn't even know it was a trilogy, thought it was 2 desu

true, there's a cheat for 99 items/saves though. it's not like you ever die from running out of medkits in these games, the environment is the real enemy

Shadow was way underrated

It's not wrong tough. The trilogy is worth playing still. Especially that it's like 3$ total now.
Also LAU Lara > all, hands down.

I still can't believe they tried to sell "!Be the Tomb Raider" like "Be the Batman".
It's insane.

Hands down where?

Shadow was kind of overshadowed (hehe) by RDR2 and Spiderman IIRC. It also alienated the new fanbase gained from first reboots. The game finally (for the better) had underwater swimming and actually focused a lot on puzzles and tombs.
If they did that from the first one it would probably end up at a better place.
Shitty DLC practices and really bad story didn't help either though.

Lara should have become the "Tomb Raider" in the very first reboot.
It should have more puzzles, less survival and shitty RPG/crafting mechanics. With time Lara should become more confident, get her iconic braids and dual pistols and at the end she should be a badass chick and not some whiny teenager we STILL have in the third fucking game.

Haha yes, knife so funny, I love living in Americ-*gunned down by police*

you convinced me to try shadow, i heard it wasn't great but i didn't think that it might have been nufans rejecting a return to closer to old formula

I remember buying the Croft Edition for like $40 a month after the game came out. Glad I didn't have to worry about buying the DLC.

when you install the yamatai mod and pump them up

It's still not a very good game but it has a few pros that definitely could alienate the action starved normies.
Big problem is that it is really not sure what it wants to be anymore.
Whole perk tree is about combat which you barely do any for example when it should be more about puzzles etc.

Make sure you get the version with all the DLC if you can find it for cheap, you get 7 more tombs.

It's not, there's barely any combat or puzzles, I'd say at least 60% of the game is just walking and braindead platforming. is right, there are so many useless combat skills.

>The 2013 game sold 13 million copies
I think it only sold like 3M in the first year, though. Once the price went to about $5, everyone bought it and the sales obv skyrocketed.

Is nuLara fucking done?

So what?
Those games fucking sucked.
They literally killed the franchise and they are the reason it got rebooted in the first place.

Unfortunately no

Tomb Raider in general it's done.
It's yet one of those franchises that nobody understands why it's still around, like God of War or Gears War.
Go ask anywhere out there if they are fans of Tomb Raider and you won't find any, not even women eat this franchise up.

Tomb Raider in 2020 is sinonymous with apathy.

>she should be a badass chick
Exploring will never be badass, no matter how much Indiana Jones or Uncharted force it.
In an industry where you've had people going up against entire races of Eldritch creatures and win, or shit like Doom, you can't make Lara Crosft a "badass".

pretty much this
