Video games are irrelevant.

Those 3 games were extremely fun.
Nathaniel Smith
Lara Croft is still a recognizable character, even to normies so it's not like the series is rorally forgotten. Modern Tomb Raider games are just kind of average is the real problem, largely being supplanted in popularity by the Uncharted series.
Daniel Powell
because all three new games are bad with them gradually getting worse each time.
If you want to play a drinking game take a shot every time Lara says shes GOT to do something and once every time she makes an exertion noise. Good luck not dying after half an hour.

female protagonist
Elijah Lewis
funny you are baiting with that because the only reason people were playing these games in 90s and what made it relevant was the protagonist being female and its the only reason why anyone played this garbage too
Julian Jenkins
they had a cute little idea going with the first prequel, but they needed to follow up by making her sexy, cool, and confident in future games (like she was in the original). they completely failed to do that.
Jackson Gray
Because
>largely being supplanted in popularity by the Uncharted series.
If the new Tomb Raider games came out before Uncharted, Lara Croft would be a fucking icon all over again. But it didn't happen that way, Drake beat her to it, and Drake doesn't have breasts so ultimately Drake's being forgotten too.
Angel Peterson
You don't follow.
If people only play your game because of your character's tits, you're doomed, specially if she's uglified and her tits get smaller with every new game.
Now, Uncharted? That's a good game.

>Reboot is pretty good but disappoints Square Enix because of their retarded unrealistic expectations
>Rise gets fucked before it even come out because they signed an exclusivity deal with Microsoft
>The damage has been done and Shadow flops because nobody cares about it anymore
Nicholas Rogers
If people exclusively played video games because they want to fuck the characters series like Dead or Alive would be flying off the shelves. People genuinely liked the old Tomb Raider games for their gameplay, there is even an active modding scene for them (albeit a small one)
Asher Carter
Shadow of the Tomb Raider killed the franchise. But honestly I think people have had enough of the current style of gameplay they have going.
Nicholas Rivera
What are some relevant games?
Colton Fisher
if she's so recognizable then why do they og lara for cameos?
Aaron Garcia
The developers kept horsing around.
Christopher Foster
I was talking about the OG Lara. She still exists in the zeitgeist and thus Tomb Raider as a brnd hasn't been totally forgotten
Jeremiah Cooper
Resident Evil and Final Fantasy Tomb Raider was bigger than them both back when it was popular it even made Angelina Jolie into a superstar.
Adrian Turner
Terry Pratchett's daughter wrote these?
Zachary Martin
They made rise timed exclusive on xbox and the series never recovered
Nolan Bennett
Zachary Campbell
i'm talking about it in general classic fans act as if it can never go back and the current games doesn't even have an audience no one ever talks about TR anymore
Parker Hughes
I don't think CD/Eidos know that. If you look at their Avengers gameplay demo, it has QTEs and platforming taken directly from their Reboot Raider games.
Ayden Garcia
Oh good another TR thread. Finally got through all the classic games. Finished 6 just a few minutes ago. Now onto the old remakes.
Leo Hill
They went the uncharted route since the popularity of the character had far surpassed people knowing anything about the action adventure gameplay. I was really disappointed when dying halfway through a puzzle, attempting it again and realizing how fucking short they were.
Brayden Powell
Sadly yes
Mason Ward
Only TR1 through Underworld matter.
They turned Lara into a whiny little shit with daddy issues.
At least original Lara was badass.
Jose Campbell
If they released a good game with the original Lara then it would regain it's relevance. Classic fans are just being a load of cynics. As someone else in this thread pointed out, Resident Evil and Final Fantasy have recently regained their notoriaty through well received games.

I hate myself
Ayden Murphy
post screenshots, need more screens of the old games in these threads.
Matthew Hughes
Eidos Montreal has been fucking up for a while now.
The Thief reboot was insulting, Mankind Divided was unfinished and Shadow of the Tomb Raider felt rushed

ok
Liam Bennett
Oh yeah? What series starting out in the last 5 years do you think will still have games 20+ years after the fact?
Ethan Rogers
The games are graphically stunning, but have bad story writing, dialogue, and voice acting. I tried playing Rise of the TR recently and for like the first 3 hours, all I heard was her getting beat up, moaning and groaning and just got sick of hearing it.
Lincoln Lee
Everybody on this website is so disconnected from reality
Hunter Long
I doubt it's entirely they're fault, Square Enix probably has a lot to do with it. Look at all the DLC Shadow of the Tomb Raider had. Obviously a publisher decision
Daniel King

You are beyond retarded.
Alexander Moore
I played the first 3 classic games when I was little but I never really finished them. Finally trying that now after I beat the 2013 reboot when it had come out.
Thomas Rogers
Yeah classic fans have battered wife syndrome
