The Good Doctor Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 "Later games released in the franchise have started the work of addressing this by having Lara Croft acknowledge her past mistakes and try to understand and show respect for the cultures and communities she comes into contact with. She has also worked to reform raider culture and raise the awareness of her peers." And what games are they even referring to here? Because this looks to me like a straight up lie. Even the shitty Square Enix games knew better than to be this outwardly pussy. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Funny thing is her "peers" are a professional thief (Garette) and someone who has a really questionable obsession with schoolgirls (pedo Jones) who even have less morals then the already ruthless Laura. Why would any of these people care about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold X to Atone My three favorite game series that I’ve got the most old-timey nostalgia for are Fallout, Dino Crisis, and Tomb Raider. Tomb Raider no longer raids tombs, the last Dino Crisis game had zero dinosaurs in it, and Fallout is now a cartoon parody of itself. I hate so much about this industry. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would any of these people care about this? I think the "peers" in question are in-universe peers. As in, their image of modern Lara Croft is as a literal anti-tomb raiding activist in her own setting. But your point still applies. None of the tomb raiders you meet in TR are the sorts of people you convince to change their ways by "raising awareness" that grave robbing isn’t nice… Yeah… they know. That’s why they bring guns and shoot people who try to stop them. They’re not nice people. This applies to Lara as well. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 (edited) The Elder Scrolls VI: Hammerfell You can’t loot the dungeons because that’d be colonizing the Redguards. Halo Infinity + 1 Mistress Chief goes on an apology tour for being racist enough to only kill aliens and never humans. Red Dead Redemption 3 You play as Dutch’s mother, Greta van der Linde, promoting suffrage in the 1800s English countryside. The American West doesn’t feature. Star Wars Episode X: Revenge of the Phantom Cock It’s just a drag queen story hour where a hairy dude in a dress reads The Hobbit to 4-year-olds.* Edited April 10 by The Good Doctor *Still only the second worst SW movie by J.J. Abrams. 3 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 I think I might be unreasonably angry right now. Like "just watched Dany burn down Kings Landing" angry. Course it’s the fucking Embracer Group. Social engineering pussies reaching ever lower. It’s a miracle we got the remastered classics this year. That’ll probably be the last time anything Tomb Raider was good. And hell, these pansies actually apologized for even releasing that (though not for taking the money). * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should have been wary about them when they did a QA on 8chan. (A banned website known for hosting child porn). And these people are claiming to be rehabilitating Tomb Raider?!

BigBossBalrog Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Seeing some leaks, don't know if there true. Eastern Brotherhood fucking reunited with the MIDWESTERN Brotherhood, unified and their ruling this giant slab of land like a brutal Feudal Empire. Launched an expedition to see if they can rescue the Western Branch House Ending is canon; NCR lost the dam, and the country is in really dire position. Fringe NCR brigades are becoming glorified raiders and causing all kinds of chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Oh this I know for sure ] BoS won Fallout 4 and Maxon is ruling with an ironfist in the commonwealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 I just really hope they didn’t all but kill off the NCR off-screen. Replacing them with the BoS is such a lame and thematically lazy direction to take the series. Doubly so if House actually won. He is determined not to let the NCR die off and would absolutely do everything in his power to prevent it. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Ten minutes in. (First episode is one hour and fifteen minutes). I can't stress how fucking amazing the production is. It looks like a movie. Reminds me of the first time I watched GOT. I can't imagine how much Amazon spent on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Real fun start. Me and Doc spent the last two hours laughing our asses off I have complaints (quite a few) about the writing, but it's quite entertaining, if very campy. Production is through the charts, so just from a visual perspective it's a treat, and it has a great score. I say's it's worth a watch so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 Saw two episodes tonight. This show is scattershot as hell. It’s fun, but like really stupid fun. Definitely had some laughs. Production quality is great, but the writing is pretty bad. All those 9/10s are way over the mark. Predictably, Walton Goggins as "The Ghoul" is by far the best part. Main BoS character is a bitch and the vault girl is hit-or-miss. Lore-related spoilers: Looks like the BoS very much won in Fallout 4 and are basically running things from the Commonwealth now. Crossing the continent is treated like a casual thing for them now, which is pretty bizarre, and the whole East/West divide is not even acknowledged. But the show hasn’t done much to explain anything so far. Maybe that will change. Enclave are apparently still a thing too, somehow… The weirdest part is that the NCR is just nonexistent. The show is definitely in California, but these two episodes at least make zero acknowledgement of the NCR ever being a thing and all the wastelanders come across as deranged weirdos with no concept of civilization. 1 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
