In defense of her brutal kills, Lara Croft was always supposed to be a gun wielding badass to begin with. But more about her personality: I believe you're mixing up "adventurer" and "explorer" spirit. They seem interchangeable, but there's a minor difference that I think is the writer's attempts to give Lara a much more aggressive personality. Adventurers look for the thrill. They're seeking the new and different. This is generally a passive concept. Explorers push the boundaries, trying to pave paths where there may be none. This is generally an aggressive concept. An explorer, in Lara's case, has to be of the "kill or be killed" mentality since an explorer would constantly be in unknown and potentially hostile territory. While I don't personally know the writer's mindsets, that's what I got out of the Tomb Raider reboot: turning Lara into a "kill or be killed" survivor, which seems to have carried over into this game. Either way, the dialogue's just fine. I think people have gotten so used to games trying to add some flavor that they forgot what serious dialogue would sound like, hahaha |
Good points and I am sure the game can be excellent even with these things that I see as faults (i.e. just my opinions). As with the 2013 reboot, I will give it a try eventually...
Enjoyed the reviews, very thorough. You are very good at presenting as well.
