Modern compound bows are in this year, every game has to have one even if it's set in a fantasy universe.
I can only partially agree. At beginning of the game she was great, she was believable, vulnerable and still a little bit "innocent", but then after 5-6h she turned into this inhumanly strong mass killer that screams at group of fleeing enemies "I will get you all!". At the end of the game they toned down this pandering, but they already wasted potential for strong, but believable character.fchopin said:Lara is one of the best made up characters i have ever seen in a game.
I would say that it fits steampunkish universe.Modern compound bows are in this year, every game has to have one even if it's set in a fantasy universe.
I agree that she does change from a scared and confused girl in to an action hero very easily but she was trained in how to look after herself, climb mountains and use weapons before in her life. The only thing she had to conquer was her own belief in herself as before she was always looked after and did not depend on herself.Aver said:I can only partially agree.

Wtf I know they're real just saying they look really jarring compare to Lara and the setting.Aver said:Actually compund bows are real and they are really good bows.
How? Modern bow in modern setting, I don't see anything wrong here. The fact that Lara found classic reflex bow is more unusual. If not magical ancient Japanese warriors that are still alive then I would call it bullshit. But compound bow fits perfectly. I don't see anything unusual.guipit said:Wtf I know they're real just saying they look really jarring compare to Lara and the setting.
Well I've always seen Lara Croft as a super action hero type figure, comparable to comic books and action flicks. She's not meant to be that realistic, but rather a legend type figure.Aver said:I can only partially agree.

If you look for characters that are like from comics then it's ok. I like realistic characters made out of flesh, not steel. Characters that feel fear, despair and pain. First hours of TR gave me impression that she will be like that. Then they turned her into Batman in body of teenage girl. If you like super heroes then you will like her. I wanted something different.KnightofPhoenix said:Well I've always seen Lara Croft as a super action hero type figure, comparable to comic books and action flicks.

Oh, Indiana Jones doesn't have even 30% of badassery that new Lara has.KnightofPhoenix said:Well it's like Indiana Jones. A super badass.... archaeology professor...
Why would you play Tomb Raider then? While it's an origin story and they're trying to make the characters a bit more believable, it's still Tomb Raider at heart and Lara's still going to end up being an untouchable badass even if they try to make the setting and her rise to badassery a bit darker (think Batman Begins).Aver said:If you look for characters that are like from comics then it's ok.

The thing with Ezio vs Lara, and I did play the beginning of AC2, is that Lara doesn't go through anywhere as much shit as Ezio does and she becomes a worse killer then him.KnightofPhoenix said:When people go through a lot of shit, they can change quite dramatically. Esp if it's something within them that's been there all along.
It's like Ezio, who is my favorite protagonist. The death of his family awakens a mass murderer who I think enjoys the killing. Now granted he had growth, but he had 3 games so.
