"Tomb Raider 3, I'm sorry baby. I didn't know what I wanted. I can change, really. Come back" Sums it up nicely

Never knew I need a Mr. Plinkett for Tomb Raider but now I can't live without you.

The irony of the 'deobjectification' of lara croft is that it is that same mindset that then ostracizes women who WANT to be sexual, who WANT to dress provocatively as it is their choice to do so, in real life you can dress and look however you want and how other people see you is their problem not yours, you're encouraged to look as sexual or not as you want so why is this same logic not applied to video game and movie characters. all it does is single out the women in the world who would have identified more with old lara croft and found her 'overly sexualised' design empowering. the women who cry out that not all women are skinny or pretty or sexy and push to have themselves more represented only leads to the absolute antithesis of the problem, you need old lara croft just as much as you need new lara croft. simple. if they wanted to create this lara croft then they should have under a different name - she isn't lara croft, she is someone else and that is okay but dont label her as someone she isn't just because you want the money from the fanbase.

I've watched many of your tomb raider reviews, dude, and the contrast between how well put-together your videos are, and you hardly having any subscribers, just BAFFLES me! Morons with not even a tenth of your wit, critical thinking, analytical mind and honest approach, are raking in the dough with millions of subscribers and views, and here you are....a hidden gem, that people are too blind to see; that is just depressing man. But I sure am glad I found out about you, dude. Major respect and kudos, man! Fock youtube for favoring disingenuous asshats in their algorithms instead of real dudes like you. Fantastic effort on these tomb raiders videos, man; AND you're a funny ass dude to boot. Look VERY much forward to the rest of your resident evil series. PS: Your choice of bgm during the videos is just....choice! Love it!

Hated Lara's explanation everytime we did something wrong or accidentally. Wish there was some sort of setting to shut her up during the gameplay.

I see the Uncharted 2 goons invaded Tomb Raiderverse. There are no less interesting game enemies than bald dudes in black military suits.

I finally finished watching every single Tomb Raider review you have on the channel. Outstanding work and dedication even in the face of the games you may not have enjoyed as much. Hopefully we will be seeing the review of the Shadow of the Tomb Raider as well!

I honestly hope you keep up with these reviews. Many people try to imitate the Mr. Plinkett format in their review videos, but few have managed to succeed in providing good critique as well as good humor. You've managed to change the format up and bring your own original brand of jokes and content into the mix. It's very entertaining and I end up watching these reviews for hours on end.

Amazing work dude, just found your stuff! Much love

"they locked up an immortal. probably cos they couldn't kill him" that made me laugh way more than it should've

"Yooouuuuuu speak when spoken to" That part took me so off-guard I almost choked on my drink.

Man, I hope you review shadow of the tomb raider

10:48 "This is the smartest man in Tomb Raider. Look at that, not a trace of hesitation" Floored me😂🤣🤣🤣

World-class entertainment! Thank you for these reviews. Keep'em coming, please.

Hell ya Resident Evil reviews. Godspeed.

I'm just mad at myself because I didn't find this channel sooner.

I hated the SO called Puzzles in this game, everyone involved using that damn BOW as a means to solve them, no variety. SMFH!

Great review as usual. This was a frustrating game to finish except for the mostly brilliant optional tombs. Can you imagine how fun a game would be if it was about puzzle solving and platforming??? Also the best voice actor for Lara is Jonell Elliott from TR 4-6.

8:16 "the cool rope thingy" does come back; you have to purchase it (w/ in-game Byzantine coins) from the black-market dealer in the Soviet Installation area.

I don’t have much of a problem with her desexualization. Her proportions are still realistic (B-C cup) and she still looks very attractive, she has more of an ethereal, “pretty” look instead of the sultriness and I actually that that wasn’t a terrible change. My only issue is the tone of the character and the tone of the games. Lara lost a lot of her spunk and sassiness in favor of realism but that semi-lack of drab reality was part of what made the games so fun. She lost a lot of her confidence and badassery and it’s a shame too. Croft was an incredibly empowering personality were it not for her caricature like proportions which understandly caused some eye brow raising. If they had the new design with the older, maybe mid 2000’s personality, that would be perfect for me. I also think The Tomb Raider reboot was a bit too tropey, with the dark, edgy tone and the focus on third person combat almost making it feel like an Uncharted clone, losing that third person platformer/explorer identity

Need a shadow of TR review video!!! Such great content these. Love your commentary

I’ve been waiting for this moment

I grew up with Classic Lara, and seeing them mess with her look and personality left me with Mixed feelings about this new "Direction" the series has taken, It's a shame they're deviating from the Source Material, but at the same time I'm glad the series is still kicking, regardless of these changes that I guess they deemed necessary.

I'm sorry tomb rider 3 baby come back I'll take the beatings stop telling me what to do let me think 😂😂😂 so true

"Save me from the perdition of corporate greed" is my new favorite phrase. I'm stealing that from you because it's so easy to apply it for things these days.

These were great! Just binge watched the bunch. You plan on doing Shadow? Congrats! Felt the Plinket vibe. And appreciated the Portuguese politics in the intro.

Credit where it's due: The remake games are very well made. But it's not Tomb Raider, on principle. Tomb Raider was like the Legend of Zelda with guns, and a badass female lead; ALSO FIGHTING A T-REX. Tomb Raider 2013 would be like making Pokemon into a super edgy, hyper violent monster summoning anime where the Poke-balls are magical artifacts and the Pokemon kill each other. Or like turning Grand Theft Auto into a "Street Gangsta works undercover for the police to overthrow an illegal network of car-thieves and chop-shops". Or like if they remade Devil May Cry's Dante into a hard-boiled detective who has to stop a secret demon invasion when he learns that his father, who taught him the trade of being a Private Investigator, was actually a demon spy who betrayed the armies of Hell and discovers he has super powers. That'd be like if Resident Evil swapped out Umbrella and the B.O.W.s for a Necromancer Cult and supernatural zombies and demons. The 2013 remake completely took the game and turned it upside down and removed everything that made Tomb Raider an individual compared to other games.

There was a big missed opportunity for her to wear her classic outfit in the 1st stage and in the Siberian wilderness her TR3 Antarctica jacket (With a hood added but the jacket in Siberia was fine for me)

Fun fact is the TR2013, ROTTR and SOTTR, PC PORTS were made in Netherlands, Utrecht LOL. Anyway I do like this one, 2013 was okay but not a TR game you know. This one and Shadow are okay in their own right, but like you said they could have swapped out this Lara Croft with anyone.

Rise of ann coulter im absolutely dying! These are the best reviews i've ever seen in my life.

I love how you take the new edgy emo child "Ann" to task. Just found your videos and have been enjoying them immensely. Seriously WTF have they done to the TR franchise?

The cool rope thingy is in this game! But great reviews.

Why does Lara now look like Justin Bieber?

Rise of Ann Coulter had me in tears.

DUDE, I just binge-watched all of your TR reviews and they were FANTASTIC! There were some moments that threw me off, but f that, your sheer respect for classic Lara and TR Underworld especially blew me away! Like, yes, we NEED to talk more on how great that game was, its music, epic move set and environment! And thank you for stressing on how fun Core Lara was wo a need of divine incentive or teary backstory to raid stuff! I've come to accept and somewhat like new TR trilogy, but boy did you fuel my dormant hate of how utterly meaningless its gameplay aspects are. These games are empty! I kinda liked the Shadow one, its setting and bigger exploring hubs etc, but it still has so many useless mechanics and uncharted sequences it hurts. Still, I hope one day we'll see your review on Shadow as well! And I reinstalled Anniversary after watching your review it's that good...

Something I almost never hear about is the way lara moves in the new trilogy. Take the ridiculous jump distances. ( 27:22 for an example) It's feels like she's made of paper. The auto crouch is so bad. It takes control away from the player and worst of all it alerts you that an enemy is near. Lara knows and responds before I know something is even there. Also: fuck the scramble move! Just let me roll like a badass.

Nah, Lara's design in this game is awesome. I love the way she looks in Rise.

The rope ascender is in the shop

Is it just me or all the female characters, including Lara, in this game look the same just with different hair color? Great reviews, love them!

Around 75% way through the game I realised I could turn off voice dialouge and subtitles and it made the experience so much better, felt more like playing the older titles.

What a really good review!!!! Love the Memes in between

Hopefully SOTTR will also learn with this game shortcomings like this one did with TR 2013.🐗

I enjoyed the Croft manor in this game more than the actual game

The reboots are lame

I think you're being a little nit picky when it comes to the way Lara looks, I honestly think she's more attractive in the newer games because she looks like a real person and not a caricature, sure the way she looked in the 90's will always be her iconic look but it's dated, although I really liked her underworld model, she looked more toned in that game compared to the newer ones.

Review shawdow of the tomb raider

Good overview of this parody of a Tomb Raider game. This third person shooter exemplifies well the current trends in gaming...

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to punch a gamer

Great review

Probably the best in the modern trilogy, overall decent games but in hindsight still disappointing and not coming close to the originals

Will you ever do a shadow of the tomb raider review? Interested to see your thoughts on it

"I HATE MEN." Classic Lara Croft amirite FUNFACT: according to steam I have 69 hours of play time in Rise of the Tomb Raider and I absolutely cannot remember any of the story. I also think I ran the benchmark A LOT after I upgraded a videocard or something.

I was going to go to sleep for school. Buuuutttttt fuck it

Clearly you are Chester from Sifl & Olly. I love your videos.

I was hoping Lara would have her trademark dual pistols. (It even showed her using dual pistols at the end of the previous game). I figured she would have been becoming more "badass" in the sequel.

@26.30 I just kept laughing how weird that Latex Lara looks like. Overall, thank you man. I've watched your content from the start and I hope that this ride was worth it. You sir made me appreciate older titles (TR3... I guess in a certain way) and made me replay the first game from begining to the end to close my own chapter with this game :)

I think a great concept for a tomb raider game would be to rip off the first zelda game. Open world map with tombs that you can explore in any order, but you need to finish all of them to complete the game, or unlock the last boss tomb. Plenty of cool things you can explore in the overworld. It's pretty low hanging fruit really.

I learned everything I need to know about fps games from playing BLACK. I ain't a pro and can't always spell too right, but this game IS a waste of everyone's time.

so which tomb raider games are worth it?

Are you ever gonna do the Shadow of the Tomb Raider review?

Great review, summed the game up pretty well imo! I still prefer TR 2013 but each his own... You going to review the Uncharted Series soon? What next for Tomb Raider then? SHADOW possibly an episodic title? Lara taking down uncle ATLAS the leader of Trinity? C'mon we all know that's where Rihanna was going with the SL... hopefully now she's buggered off they got a decent writer in... Hire Amy Hennig back @ Crystal? Bring back Brian Horton as art director... who leaves tp work on Call of Duty... ??? seriously!

Please do Shadow of the Tomb Raider 🙌

Where can i find the ''the last revelation'' music from the beginning?Can someone link me?

I like this game. I like this trilogy even. I think there's a lot in these games that even still has the overall spirit of the franchise at its core That being said. I prefer nearly every classic Tomb Raider game over them. I'll play these games before I ever touch Chronicles or Angel of darkness again. Honestly probably put them on par with the last revelation because that one to me is also just as flawed as it is enjoyable But these are fine cinematic action games. It's just that, that's not really what I look for from Tomb Raider. I want to explore. I want to feel like I am in some exotic locale seeing things that nobody has seen for centuries if not thousands of years And most importantly. This new Lara Croft.... Is just not Lara Croft. She's a fine character if she was someone else, Ann Coulter perhaps. But the Lara Croft I grew up knowing and loving was a sassy, cocky, sarcastic, billionaire genius adrenaline junkie, who is quite possibly insane and ends up saving the world usually inadvertently rather than because of some sense of responsibility. She was a badass by choice Ann is yet another hero that has to be forged from trauma. And it's done fine, but not exceptional. And it's just nowhere near as fun as the original character. But I can't say I didn't have fun playing this game either.

Please make a TRDOX review, I genuinely want to know your thoughts on the project. I haven't had so much fun in a TR game since underworld and I thought the puzzles were really well made.

What's the outro music around 42:00?

What is that arena shooter game you showcased when talking about the hypothetical zeppelin scenario?

So is the last revelation remix at the start ever gonna be released?

What was that animated Lara clip at 14:38 from?

i LOVE YOUR REVIEWS OF TOMB RAIDER !!! they sooo good !!! you plan on doing one for Shadow of tomb raider ??? im so interested to know what u think about it

Hey bro, I know you don't owe us anything and you probably have a busy life with everything else...BUT....any chance we'll get to see you tearing Shadow of the tomb raider a new one....any time soon? I got the impression from some of the other vids, that perhaps your pc died while you were in the process of putting it together(the review)....resulting in the whole thing becoming lost(unrecoverable hard drives) or something.....mad respect for your work otherwise...hope to see more /thumbs up

you make a great point: if these games were released without the name of lara croft to piggy back off of...nobody wouldv'e remembered this character.

Uhhh were you drunk at the steering wheel pal? The rope ascender does come back you just have to buy it at the in game shop

What's the name of that song in the intro?

I'm sorry about your cat, man.

I really hated this one, i scripted this one

Have you considered doing reviews of The Tomb Raider Gold add on from years ago?

Do you plan to do a review on Shadow of the Tomb Raider as well? It's the final title in the new reboot trilogy and seems to have improved some level design aspects.

I have a question for you, what do you feel about the Uncharted games, this is the MAIN reason why they went this route with LARA CROFT, to copy Uncharted... are you bothered by the combat etc in that too?

is it perfect?

BUT HEY SHADOW WILL BE LIKE MORE LIKE THE CLASSICS! (it won't) “If you ask me, Dan, what does it mean to exactly to be Tomb Raider?” he said. “It means the defender of humanity. It means to be able to defend humanity, to care about it.”-One of the devs

Are you going to cover Shadow of the Tomb Raider?

An option to remove ALL WHITE PAINT from claimable objects would be welcome.

i'm starting the last video in the series and i'm angry there's not more

It might be similar to Uncharted, but Uncharted had charm and energy and wit, and these new TR games are dull and dour. So yeah, I'll take Uncharted any day of the week, but TR2012+ can go screw itself. I'm going back to Anniversary now and wait for your Shadow of Tomb Raider review. Which is a great title BTW, because this series is but a shadow of Tomb Raider.

This is not lara this is lara soo true sub right away like right away. U da Man bro wish I seen this soon. I was just to sad I thought no one was agreeing with me . That this game is horsesahit not lara . More like Kirsten hahahah

Btw. she can't really dive until the very end of the game were she than can dive only one feet deep (30cm).

I have no idea what was going on for half of this video

Not gonna review Guardian of Light and Temple of Osiris?

what is your favorite tomb raider game

have you heard of shadow of the tomb raider

it's amazing how they managed to screw up the aiming and controls in this game, while in TR2013 those are totally fine. even with 1.06 patch (PS4), there is still input lag and wonky aim. duhhh

that's bridget jones not lara croft. who needs tomb raiding when you can be playing lara creed or call of croft? you should have 100 times more subs fyi. if you can afford to invest in a google ad campaign or something like that to boost your search rating then imo u would gain back your outlay in subs due to your quality sincere content. also if this is in any way useful i found your channel in a playlist (long - form analysis) by searching 'video games analysis' looking forward to more of your content. thanks for that (sub'd)

do more tomb raider

Hey! This game is still almlost tomb raider. Maybe the next game will finally reach there. So after reviewing one long ass franchise you move onto the next long ass franchise. You better not bitch too much about re6 when you get to it. It's fun.

I really didn't enjoy Rise of the Tomb Raider. I struggled to "get in to it". Despite it being aesthetically beautiful, but it was boring. And just when it starts to pick up the pace, it ends 😶😐 not my favourite.

Is that an Old Lara Mod that I see?

I hope you review the next game.

18:59 ok wtf is this shit?

This is late but >she sold out to Honda thats a Seat Ibiza buuuut lmao never saw that ad
