Re: What cool idea was wasted on a bad/unworthy story?

The 3rd gen of Tomb Raider.

Lets make a game where you play Laras first adventure! YAAAAY!

BUT let's throw out that tacky old Lara with the shoot first attitude, the hyper-masculine over confidence, the air of GSD, the over the top badassedness, and the huge tits. No-one could relate to that. Let's instead make her scared and hurt and in constant overwhelming danger, so people will want to protect her. FUCK YOOOOOOOOOU!

Still not over it. How do you get the core of the character so wrong? I remember playing as teenage Lara back in chronicles, I remember pissing my pants going up against the headless horseman demon. I remember thinking "it's OK, but I Lara is here, Lara will protect me". I didn't want to protect her. That's not the way it went. Not ever.

Still not over it. Still not over the fact that this is my Lara no. Still not over that this is the Lara that's getting a movie instead of the far superior 2nd generation Lara with the Keeley Hawes voice. We lost somthing great.

Oh agreed, the whole line about "wanting to protect her" was really cringey. One of those things where, had she been a classic male action hero, I doubt the character's backstory would've been scared/hurt/vulnerable.
