I don’t tell a lot of people this because it’s one of those things I never talk about.

You don't tell a lot of people but you just put it up for thousands of people to read on the internet. Attention whore.

when the game offers you to kill hundreds of people


But they're all men, and therefore don't count. If all that horrible stuff was happening to a male protagonist, nobody would give a toss.
Case in point; Dead Space, where the various horrific, macabre, and excrutiatingly painful ways to die in the game were used as a marketing gimmick.

Or Sniper Elite V2. Somehow I think if TR had closeup X-ray shots of bullets perforating Lara's ovaries people would raise a fuss.

Mafia 2 = the protag actually gets assaulted in the showers in prison and openly threatened with rape by two guys (that get their asses kicked ofc) :lol:

She doesn't look really like she has much of ''noble'' :roll: Indio ancestors... Is this typical for all Latin America? White Marxist college educated kids Larping natives and mestizos and Mulatos blue collar Bros like The Brazilian Slaughter adhering to their noble European ancestors? :lol:
Latin america has alot of butthurtt liberal fags, that after years eating goverment propaganda on public colleges become bullshit propaganda robots, their motto is: Why we are fucked? Someone else is always responsible. About the natives there is those retards that believe that they were special, in reality they were ass assholish as the portuguese and the spanish, but you know, assholes with better technology always win, nowdays they are just alcooholic, lazy people made hostage in reservations so bureaucrats in the goverment can use collective guilt to milk money from the population. Shouldn't help to derail the thread but couldn't resist in commenting this bullshit.:P

Over there.
This thread did go to places. :eek:

Also,

So, I still can’t remember my unicorn name, but I remember what I was called. Other unicorns that didn’t know me personally called me Ieki’Nahara, which meant literally Night Mare. Not like a scary dream, but a female horse (mare) of the Night (our “Father”). It was a title of sorts because I was colored completely black, everything but my horn, which was the white of the Moon (our “Mother”). My white horn signified me as a leader, but my full black coat signified me as the Night’s mare. In our glory, being fully black or fully white was really rare, so it was always something to be celebrated.

This world is going places as well.

Holy shit. Holy fucking shit! All this time, I always had furries pegged as just people with weirdo fetishes... but there are actually people who believe this shit?

Modern liberalism, man. Used to be, people like this would be committed and lobotomized so normal people wouldn't have to go crazy in their own right trying to suss these people out. Nowadays, they're a fucking voting bloc.

Seriously though, there is something rather disturbing about a female protaganist in a game having this effect on a bunch of forumgoers. Fascinating.

People really behaved like that in your high school? Let me guess... your high school also featured bullying?

What effect? Also, the contents of this thread are the fault of the false advertisement as a masochistic rape game mixed with torture porn and of ludonarrative dissonance.

Did you read the last pages? I posted a lulzy article of a woman being "violated" by Tomb Raper(supposed to be on BTE) and somehow the thread got derailed by the microagressions Tumblr. Nobody here is talking about fucking Lara anymore. Also, some men aren't properly been educated in the ways and behaviours of women unlike girls who are educated on men and them rapists ways(not that they listem BTW), so yeah nerds in the Codex.

"Tomb Raider getting itself knocked off the number one spot in the UK charts after just two weeks by the newly-released Gears of War: Subtitle, a game which apparently sold just a quarter of what its predecessor Gears 3 did in its first week, doesn’t look like too much of a good sign." and "Yoichi Wada has fallen on his sword as a result"

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Chronicles is the worst of the old TR games, level design doesn't reach the previous games at all. It's quite obvious that this was just one last cash-in on the popularity of the series before they switched engines. I liked the Rome levels and the Ireland levels with young Lara, but the game is overall much easier than the older ones and it's very, very short in comparison.

It's not really that bad, but it was a huge disappointment after the excellent TR4.

Some great publisher if tomb raider sells more than 3 million copies and that's considered weak.
Also sleeping dogs was bad.
