That scene when she rose up out of the water with fire behind her was definitely sin removal worthy

Lara's face has changed for a third time... Every game in the reboot trilogy has the same person but with a different face, what the hell... Even Jonah is different.

I swear Dartigan writes his lines like "How can I express, in monotone, the misery I felt at paying for this game's ineptitude?"

When TR2013 ended I assumed the rest of the reboot trilogy would feature the friendship of Sam and Lara, and the dual pistols were here to stay. Man, was I disappointed.

My biggest sin in the game is the immersive language option!! Seems cool but Lara will ask questions in English, natives will respond in their language, yet both understand eachother. Lara is so smart and can read all these monoliths, why is it such a reach for thinking shed study and learn the language of the people and speak it? Why include the option at all?

The most disappointing thing about this game is the lack of dual pistols. Really missed opportunity!

no sin for the walkie-talkie? lara tells jonah to not use the channel that they are speaking on because trinity was listening to their conversation, they then soon after lara and jonah, still continue to keep talking on the walkie-talkie regardless, that is a major sin that one. another sin, the villian tells lara that Jonah is dead to get her worked up and it was obvious it was a trap, Jonah , then walks up to her unscathed like it was nothing, he wasn't even harmed or held hostage whatsoever, that is all strange for someone that is supposed to be dead, and it's never mentioned again for the rest of the game, that part was really weak.

Jonah looks completely different to what he looked like in Rise, where he looked completely different to what he looked like in the 2013 reboot

CLASSIC LARA: Girls just wanna have fun! REBOOT LARA: Yes, dad.

You know what pisses me off the most about this game? Despite the infinitely lower stakes in the previous 2 games,they still feel more climactic and grand than this game despite it focusing on the damn apocalypse. What a letdown this game was.

Regardless of the quality of the game, lara does look pretty damn cute in this one

No sin removed for the "Oil Refinery" scene? Disappointing

In the second game, Rise of the Tombraider, you can look in the menu thing and there is a journal entry or a tape thing(idk which I can't remember) and it explains how Sam hates Laura after the events of the first game and how Sams psychiarist wouldn't let Laura see Sam anyway.

Nathan Drake's first words in Uncharted 4: "Ah, crap." Lara Croft's first words in Shadow of the Tomb Raider: "Shit!" It just can't be a coincidence.

I was too busy climbing the wall at the end to hear the radio announcement about Trinity. Hell, I didn't even know Trinity had been defeated by the end of the game. It was definitely an anti-climactic ending, but I did enjoy the game overall.

14:13 so we’re not gonna point out that it looks like a piece of shit cast in silver?

Something that disappointed me a lot about this game is that they bothered to give Lara incredible guerilla warfare-style abilities such as camouflage with mud and executing enemies by ambushing them in the best Snake Eater style, only to have almost no chance of using those incredible new habilities. What a disappointment.

What I dislike about these TR games is the lack of humour. Lara is so dramatic and serious, sounding more like a person who would sit at home behind closed doors and feel sorry for herself. Does not sound like a typical, curious adventure-seeking adventurer at all.

This game was really fun for me, but I will be the first to admit that it had really blaring issues. It's like none of the 3 games are actually connected. Each of them just sort of happen. Makes me wonder why they called this series a 'trilogy'. This might be one of the only game sins videos where I legitimately agree with EVERY single sin.

Jonah is the biggest simp ever for following lara around all this years

How can Lara have such a thick muscular neck yet such scrawny noodle arms? I'm not opposed to making her breasts smaller if they were going for a more realistic look, but would it have killed to then also make her look capable of performing the feats of strength she's shown performing in the game?

Chad Lara: Raiding Tomb 24/7 New Lara: Haha mass murdering go brrrr

How did you not remove a sin for that badass classic-Croft scene when she comes out of the water??

Yes! Why did it took THREE games for Lara to have two cool moments!? (Th e "don't try me" and Sephiroth-flame behind scene)

Nier Automata had an incredible in medias res opening, you only realize later into the game it was one.

When Lara and Jonah found the silver box, they both fall into the water. Lara then swims extremely fast to get to the church where, somehow, Jonah is not only out of the water, he has already been captured and questioned a little. This seems so implausible that it broke immersion more than anything for me. The other things could just simply be bad writing, but this was a character literally teleporting or time-skipping. Also, in a matter of days Lara finds the clue for the knife, the knife itself, the clue to finding Paititi, the clue to finding the box's original whereabouts, the box's original whereabouts, the clue to the box's new whereabouts, the box itself and where to take the box and knife together. Something that took Dominguez, a man with knowledge, unlimited resources and who was *fucking* *born* in the city that encapsules it all but the knife, literally his entire adult life, several decades at least. He *must* have known the box was supposed to be just outside Paititi. He should've been finished before Lara was even born or at least when she was still a child.

I agree with the Jonah part, I don’t think the fry cook who called Lara cute nickname - little bird - should’ve been her companion for these next adaptations in the game. However, after sams experience with Yamatai, she stopped being Lara’s friend, and they grew apart. Any information on Sam was left empty in rise but in shadow of the tomb raider there are a couple journals that have Lara referencing to her first expedition and what happened to her relations with the surviving members.

At 14:13 the Snake Key looks like a shiny, coiled up turd. Clearly the artist who designed it knew what they were signing up for. *Ding!*

I absolutely loved Rise. But even as a fan of the reboot series I can't argue that this entry was terrible, a huge disappointment. To me personally, Jonah as a sidekick really hurt the narrative, while the skill points were utterly useless from a gameplay perspective. I really wanted to like it, even half as much as Rise, but the game did so many things wrong it was impossible to enjoy it.

I knew you were going to ding the natives perfect English. XD and what a worthwhile ding.

I liked Rise the best, best looking Lara and Jonah as well in rise. Loved Jacob character. Shadow is gorgeous, but preferred Rise.

15:20 You can set the audio to "proper languages". So when lara talks english to them they respond in whatever they're speaking. It makes everything sound like a joke, because she speaks british to the mexicans and inca city folk and they reply in their native tongue yet everyone perfectly understands another.

In my mind the reboot stopped at Rise of the Tomb Raider. I want to forget this one.

12:00 The Inca had wheels, but didn't use them for transportation. They placed wheels on toys, but they didn’t use them for wagons or carts because they didn’t have suitable animals to pull them, combined with a sylvan or mountainous terrain.

Tomb raider 2013 was the best out of the new ones. I don't care about her dead father or Trinity ... TR2013 was a story about survival and doing what she needed to do to get out alive with her crew. Rise and I assume shadow are her actively looking for trouble and going up against a bland generic secret organization... That just has none of the personality that 2013 had. It's more interesting being on a mystic island then just going to random places all over the world... I really feel that everything about 2013 was the best the series could offer because it was just a really good game. If you give that survival mode from rise to the 2013 game then there would be no reason to play rise or shadow

13 - the quechua (incan language) word for cloud, phuyu, is literally "silver top", so "silver crown" is an apt translation, although anyone who knows the languag would just translate it to cloud and not the separate words. 36 - also there's 3 jaguars in the same sq. km. jaguars only meet to mate and they become extremely violent during that time. they get around 40sq km each at any other time. also they are considered not only an apex predator but a Keystone Animal to their ecosystems. meaning if you kill one you can fuck up the entire food chain. lara kills 5+ during the game. 49 - she saw her father on the phone and 5 minutes later he was dead. she thought the argument was over the phone like any sane person would do 51 - that's an oil extraction/refinery town in which literally all of it's citizens worked for an american company which also brought some workers of their own, they dont specify how long it's been but it's safe to assume there's been more than a few years. 52 - Abby speaks perfect english, is dressed in northamerican style with an american hairstyle unlike any other woman in the game and has a classic american tattoo, you think she's peruvian because of her skin color, that's racist. 61 - never seen a person freaking out? 62 - it's been stated in a codex entry that paititi has been under trinity control for 300 years and in order to control uprisings they use their own external paramilitary but dresses them as locals to try and not culturally disturb the locals. all the jaguar guards, the guys in green armor, are private security from around the globe, ordered never to use clothes or weapons alien to the people of paititi. you can find that codex inside the temple of kukulkan btw. after 300 years of dealing with english speakers the paititians would have learned the language 65 - and yet people keep discovering uncharted islands in the pacific and atlantic thanks to google maps 74 - they're not monsters. they are dressed, painted and self mutilated themselves to look like monsters in order to scare anyone that comes near the temple that has the box, similar as to how the japanese wore monster looking masks in order to scare their opponents in battle, it's just a scare tactic. also, they didnt create the box, it was handed to them by the gods. 77 - yes because jaguar guards are foreigners brought in by trinity and she's dressed like one, there's no reason to be suspicious. if she spoke with a quechuan accent now that would be a red flag 94 - a dagger and box that can reshape the world would be a pretty safe bet when looking for immortality 102 - it's not a memory, it's a desire, that scene never happened but she can make it real with the power. Unuratu even explicitly tells you that the power will show you your greatest desire in order to trick into making your personal wish instead of restoring the sun and how she has trained all her life to resist it. even the entire existence of the crimson fire is to make sure whoever holds the power doesnt fuck up. it's a major plot point. ever thought a mea culpa video?

I love all 3 games in the reboot trilogy, but Rise was definitely the best of the 3.

Captain Enix, were gonna need a bigger reboot

I just want to play as the duel pistol wielding badass that we all know and love. You don't get that in this game. You get a character who's dream is to be like her big brother Nathan Drake *ding*

also a nitpick but wtf is wrong with Lara's hair in this game's design it looks like an extremely ugly wig

You said none of the media res does it right but remember your Uncharted 2 Video.That one did it right.I know cause I'm a huge Uncharted Fan and seeing that made me happy haha

I mean, Mardi Gras IS the most interesting thing about this state. I find it hard to blame writers for using it. Don’t think I didn’t hear you pronounce the s at the end either, Dart.

Suspension of disbelief isn't nearly enough for the plot of this game. You have to put your brain in fucking airplane mode entirely. Extra sin: The ending song isn't sung by a Spanish speaking person and it shows.

Yo you dont know how dissapointed i was that they didnt put sam with lara. Like you would believe after almost losing her best friend and going through a traumatic experience they would stick together but naaah

Really can’t stand “Lara Craft: Let’s gather items and make stuff” The camping, the crafting, the animals that don’t act like animals (rip jaguars)...no thanks. Remaster the Last Revelation, and I’ll be a happy tomb raider myself. 😁

Y'know, this just confirms how much of a mess the entire reboot is simply based on how the writers try to evoke this more realistic Lara Croft: they keep reselling her immaturity and inexperience to increase tension, but in the second game, everything already feels stale. Lara's character is constantly walking in circles while the writers desperately cling to the worn-out "strong woman" angle, god forbid she could ever muster some goddamn self-confidence! Cause that'd draw parallels to the original character, and everyone's supposed to think new Lara is a much better female protagonist because she has no giant tits, when she also lacks character depth in similar quantities to cup size compared to the original. I feel like this is pretty much the successful version of what Sakamoto attempted to do to Samus with *Metroid: Other M* , just not quite as awful as that shameful piece of crap. Samus never recovered from that betrayal, Lara can still return to form IF the developers have the balls to go there...

Please keep making these videos. They are awesome and funny as hell

Next time Assassin Creed Odessy.

You're REALLY fast with sinning new releases, hats off.

I just wonder how it's possible that after 3 game Tomb Raider feels so repetitive when Uncharted managed to last 4 (5) games. I guess the difference is that Nathan Drake is able to have some fun and make few jokes while Lara tries really hard to be as serious as possible.

Just letting ya know, Sam's locked up in some kind of mental facility or something bc it turns out at the end of 2013 Queen Himiko still had a hold on her (in all reality Square probably just couldn't get the voice actress or something so they made up some bullshit story about it in the comics)

It’s like a good idea with poor execution. How many times did I say ‘I hate this game’. So glad I didn’t pay for it.

"Normally a minigun plus a slow missing target equals death." Allow me to introduce you to the wonderful word of X-Com 2.

This Lara's face looks strange.

Her hair seems so odd in Shadow, almost like a way too thick wig with tons of hairspray glued into it. Looked waaaay more natural in Rise.

Shadow of the TR happened two weeks after Rise yet Jonahs hairstyle changed from an afro to a manbun

At this point, I'm hoping that Tomb Raider's next inevitable reboot will set itself apart from the 2013-2018 Tomb Raider games. I just cannot find myself bonding with Modern Lara Croft at all. She's absolutely boring to watch. Chloe Fraser in Uncharted: Lost Legacy felt more closer to being Lara Croft than Modern Lara Croft herself did in all three of her games.

New Lara Croft isn't that bad, but the issue with the reboot is that everything that Lara Croft was iconic for is dead and gone. 1) The breast and OG outfit, I'm getting this shit out the way cause it's the most obvious one. Regardless if people want to admit it or not, it's the truth and just like how fans freaked out regarding Dante hair not being white in DMC, Sonic arms being blue in Sonic boom, or zero suit samus getting pumps/platform shoes added to her suit in other m, people got upset about this. Though I believe more people were upset by the reason for the change instead of the redesign itself. 2) The other most obvious one, the dual pistols. I get the bow and arrow trend was going strong when the reboot first launched, but by now that she came so far in her journey, people are expecting to get the old school lara, which they aren't getting. 3) Gameplay, I get the point of reinventing the wheel, making gameplay fresh, but the style of old school tomb Raiders game is completely gone. Feel like they're trying too hard to be super serious and dark, and as a result are losing that fantasy, escapist appeal that older games had. That's just my view looking at things, new school Lara Croft is cool in my book, and the gameplay is nice in my opinion, but I say that as a more new fan amd not a TR veteran. I just think they changed things too fast and too quick. Maybe new and old Lara could be blended into one another a bit better. Though this is just my thoughts on what I seen people upset about on the net, I could be enterily wrong, just seems like a bit more old school Lara style was blended in the reboot wouldn't cause such a split in the fanbase

Trinity was actually referenced in 2013, both in documents sent to the Japanese forces on the island, and the search and rescue vessel that responds to Lara's broadcast being named Trinity, so not "in the last game"

It didn't have that TR feel. All 3 felt off in some way, like the first had no tombs. The second had this thing for always removing control to focus on some panning shot so my momentum was interrupted and the third one felt lazy in terms of writing. Like the "End of the world" was just an eclipse and Patiti is going to found sooner or later. They are just delaying the inevitable. And Trinity being defeated while Lara climbs a wall felt like the big build up with Trinity was wasted. And the absolute WORST thing was the memorable theme song was NOWHERE.

We not gonna talk about how epic Lara rising out of the water is? We also gonna ignore how impactful and emotional her breakdown is?

It seems they were trying to outdo Uncharted 2 for the opening, yeah not even Uncharted 4(a better game overall) beat Uncharted 2's opening.

there are many legitimate issues with both this trilogy and its story that you have pointed out but i feel like a fair few of these sins could be erased simply by you taking the time to learn the lore of the games

8:20 ,,Johnah take Lara’s tank top of when you bandage her back“

Tomb Raider peaked with the Legend - Anniversary - Underworld trilogy. Fact.

I loved that game! Of course I would change some things but was awesome

The first time i saw Dominguez i instantly thought, hey, that's Al Pacino.

3:33 when I head that for the 1st time that scene from raiders immediately popped up in my head

Anyone else wishes that SquareEnix let sells Crystal Dynamics or let them go independent like what happened to Hitman ? this whole ''realistic'' annoying Lara didn't work for me and looking at the earnings it seems like it kinda failed to reach its target 3 times in a row so far , Go independent , remake Anniversary in this new engine , tweak the dual pistols game-play a bit make it more skillful by removing the auto-locking and boom.

I just finished this game, and I must say it's my least favorite of the three. The story and gameplay was pretty boring imo. The first was fantastic, the second was good, but this one was so 'meh'.

12:21 in one of the notes laura finds theres a man many years ago who had something to do with paititi and the only isolated sentence was "I will teach them English". They were taught by someone from outside, since they let them in before they betrayed them. There were tons of outsiders until Amaru decided to not let anymore in. Within all those outsiders coming in and the teachings I would hope they would pick up on something yaknow...

Awesome work mate! Just awesome (and 100% true too )

No sin about Jonah's color change for the second time.

Dont see why they couldn't have introduced natla at the end unless they are planning to reboot the original games aswell

They should have Omec as the narrator for the series 😂

Don't forget that there was a part (before the oil field) where you needed to stealth kill enemies, because otherwise they would fire at you, but you couldnt pick up their weapons.

Silent Hill Downpour

Modern Tomb Raider formula... look at Uncharted, and try to do exactly what they did.

Great video!!!

Has anyone noticed that Trinity from rise-of-the-tomb-raider seems to be a completely different organization from the Trinity that we get in Shadow?

It's October so....Silent Hill

The fact that he reference Kuzko tho xD

I remember you asking the same question about Jonah in your RotTR sin video: The reason is that Sam's soul was kinda damaged by the failed possession ritual in the ending of TR (2013) and she went nuts and had to be taken to an asylum IIRC: It was explained in one of the comics that randomly popped up after the first game, I suppose.

And a sin for when Lara and jonah fall through the floor after getting the box and then when you swim back to the entrance Jonah is already there, captured!?🤔

This game really took a lot from uncharted, mainly with the thing of the protagonists being the first ones to decipher a clue that tells them where to go next but when they arrive there, the villain group is already there inexplicably.

Am I the only one who prefers the reboot series to the original series? Don't get me wrong. The classic games are great, but the reboot series is just more fun for me.

Glad you made this video

This game's plot is almost identical to the Rise of Tomb Raider. And Rise was already pretty similar story-wise to the 2013 reboot. Why did they think playing the same game the third time, just in different setting, would be interesting, is beyond me.

dude. ever heard of "character development"? that's why it's still part of the origin story. she is just now becoming the legendary tomb raider.

Also, AC:Oddysey, "this isn't assasins creed anymore"-Random gamer that played the first AC game

i don't know if i missed something in prievous games, but in Rise, Lara said she fought with her dad just before she heard the gun shot. I suppose that could have happened still but the flashback seemed like Lara was just told to do homework. Also, Lara's dad locked away ms corft's stuff in the west wing according to blood ties. In Blood Ties, lara also said she was still a baby when her mother died.

What confuses me more about this game is how a guy, born in an ancient civilization with pagan beliefs, would go out and form an organization that presents themselves as a secret orthodox Christian society although christianity has nothing to do with his beliefs.

I love this game and it’s series

And i thought spiderman had more reboots

5:11 That's not what "begs the question" means. The phrase you want here is "raises the question."

It’s hardly a game, it’s more an extended Quick Time event. You have control over your loadout (that you grind for hours to upgrade) for a very brief time, you’re led by the nose to any battle, where your weapons or lack thereof are chosen for you. For the most part no scene is skippable even in NG+ no matter how many playthoughs you have. If the devs want to make movies…go make movies and let someone who wants to make games take a crack at it.

I miss the classic badass Lara! Games nowadays focus too much on the characters emotional responses that it ruins it for me. Also when did games become movies as well? They should be called something else cuz I don’t want to sit there watching a movie. I wanna fuckin win the game!

Enjoyed the 2013 reboot a lot and i loved Rise even more but something just felt "off" about this one. It wasn't actually developed by the original crew who made 2013 and Rise, it was made by the Deus Ex studio.

ok, the Legends of the Hidden Temple sound bites were frickin' hilarious

0:52 THANKYOU geez, been askn that so many time.
