Why can't we have nice things? Why can't we have a posh British socialite with humongous tits who moonlights as an Indiana Jones villain out to steal some mythical shit just for the sheer fun of it?

Why aren't we allowed to have fun anymore?!
 
Not Angel of Darkness. Fuck that game. It's a shitty game that's fucking broken.
Even today, I can't believe there are people who would defend Angel of Darkness. It was an unfinished pile of shit rushed for a summer 2003 release to capitalize on the second Jolie movie Paramount was just about to release in theatres, and it was also warning signs of bad things to come just ten years later

Because we live in a society where gamers are oppressed and TTD hasn't been achieved.
Do I get to skip cutscenes? Because neither isn't a presented option.
No, you need to suffer either the product of a shit development cycle and the writing of the same unfunny feminist comedian that was made into a part of the millenium falcon because katleen kennedy is a cunt.

Eh, fuck. Well, I hope they at least make killer mods then.

It was bad. to the point I think it hurt the movie.
 
I've never seen anyone defend AoD gameplay-wise - and no one should because it's a total embarassment - just in terms of the story, which was genuinely good and a fuckton of missed potential. They had something going with Kurtis but he'll most likely never reappear again.

It did. Paramount was quick to blame the failure of the second Jolie movie to the critical and commercial failure of Angel of Darkness. Speaking of...

Sadly, there are people who do defend the game because of the name brand and the shitty shipping of Lara and Kurtis, and even some defending it because but muh Core Design
 
Green Man Gaming has a sale going on and you can get some game for dirt cheap.

The Nu Tomb Raider games are up there to if you want them, not as cheap of course.
It's immoral to give these publishers that rape these IPs money.
All these games are constantly 100% off if you sail the high seas.

Aren't there any indie action adventure games with well endowed women?
 
I hope the level designer of Tomb Raider 2 stubs his toe.

Pitfalls directly around corners, timers that don't allow a single mistake, mandatory falls off ledges that nearly take all your HP.

Everything is slightly more convoluted than it needs to be; it can't just be one crate you have to move, it's always shuffling three around for a minute.

The whole thing is so antagonistic towards the player. It's like those old adventure games where you keep dying in unpredictable ways, and the dev had more fun thinking about all the players he was going to make seethe than anyone who actually played the game.

Still better than Nu-Raider.
 
I reinstalled Tomb Raider 2013 (on linux) yesterday because I wanted to see if I could get some easy achievements that I didn't unlock years ago. I really hate the QTE stuff. I'm sure it's fine on consoles but it's atrocious on PC with keyboard and mouse. The intro was harder to play than the rest of the game, just because of those awful QTEs.
 
2015 was the first year that we've truly entered clown world and has gotten worse since

Sadly it's going to happen. They already have Phoebe Waller-Bridge and one of The Marvels writers to showrun and write it, respectively, and they're going to make it into a "shared universe." Hell, why not recast Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft while we're at it? Now do these people understand why the franchise died after 2009?
Mark my words, a mestizo will play Lara, it will be woke AF, but Mauler and Drinker will praise it and the anti-woke grifters will go along with it while Synthetic Chad will be the only reviewer bold enough to take a stand.
 
It’s nuts to think that if you asked the average zoomer what “Angel of Darkness” is, they’re more likely to bring up the nightcore song over the original game it came from

The only reason why shit like Angel of Darkness was praised was simply because of shit such as this. They don't care if it was a rushed, buggy failure, they just care so much about Kurtis and the fact that they keep shipping him with Lara with their retarded fan works

Mauler and Drinker are cucks that are still stuck in the mid-2010s
