Yeah, pretty much this - I loved torturing her in Reboot, I don't see her as Lara at all, so I had no connection to her. Reboot was disgrace for a game called Tomb Raider, unfortunatelly , it seems that most people have absolutely zero clue who Lara Croft was in original games, how she became what she was (clue: she was trained since she was a kid, she didn't need some 'emotional' C-rate Hollywood shit for that) and what are staples of TR games. |
It's not that ppl don't have a clue, it's that they relatively enjoyed the new game and the changes made. The controls in the old TR games were pretty bad and I welcome that change in gameplay. I like that she wasn't trained and that she slowly becomes a bad ass as the game progresses. That way you gain skills as the game goes on instead of starting off with the full aresenal, and it also allows the player to get to know Lara on a personal level and grow with her as she grows. Those kind of small changes can really help a player relate to a character better.
