"Tomb Raider 3, I'm sorry baby. I didn't know what I wanted. I can change, really. Come back"
Sums it up nicely
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.
Yeah, it's ridiculous how re-reboot fans who have never touched a real Tomb Raider game describe classic Lara as nothing but walking tits. The irony is so thick that it hurts.
Well said.
"Yooouuuuuu speak when spoken to"
That part took me so off-guard I almost choked on my drink.
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!
Eh. i got a job to keep me going. And folks like you to keep me on the grind :,)
it's because he's black
@@avvvqvvv99 I remember you
@@807D14M0ND5 remember me?
Fuck you.
I see the Uncharted 2 goons invaded Tomb Raiderverse. There are no less interesting game enemies than bald dudes in black military suits.
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.
Never knew I need a Mr. Plinkett for Tomb Raider but now I can't live without you.
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!
slooooooooowly. but surely :,(
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.
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
"they locked up an immortal. probably cos they couldn't kill him"
that made me laugh way more than it should've
Amazing work dude, just found your stuff! Much love
Man, I hope you review shadow of the tomb raider
You're gonna be waiting a good while. Not gonna touch that game until it's a finished product. DLC, patches and all.
The Game Statistic so maybe 2019??
Probably early 2020.
The Game Statistic holy jesus, at least i hope its worth the wait
I am looking forward to see the shadow reviewed🥰
Hell ya Resident Evil reviews. Godspeed.
World-class entertainment! Thank you for these reviews. Keep'em coming, please.
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.
actually I quite enjoyed the game.... but you get teased in the beginning (as was the entire marketing) of a level in Syria... or desert anyway; it's just one freaking small level and the rest of the game you're biting snow.... Do like the Indiana Jones like story... don't like that they hold your hand. Do like hard mode has these extra features that you have to spend wood and basically lid your own fire for a safe point.... but the enemies at that level are impossible; like you stealth kill 1 and every enemy knows directly where you are, causing you to just rambo style into it, instead of sneaking around.
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
Hope Tomb Raider 3 forgives us all. It was hard, but wise u.u
I'm just mad at myself because I didn't find this channel sooner.
10:48 "This is the smartest man in Tomb Raider. Look at that, not a trace of hesitation" Floored me😂🤣🤣🤣
if every dude she came across had his shoot first mentality lara would be dead ages ago
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.
Well made as in it looks fine. Controls fine, voice actors are fine, sounds fine, and has some good concepts? Yeah.
Well made as in its pacing, expansion on introduced concepts, capitalization on assets, and respect for the player? Fuck no.
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.
Retro Hub necessary to win favor with people not even playing the games
Agreed
I’ve been waiting for this moment
"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.
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.
Need a shadow of TR review video!!! Such great content these. Love your commentary
Its gonna be done right
Tomb Raider Underworld was the last Tomb Raider game. Everything after was just total trash for dumb occasional players.
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.
Shadow is taking exceptionally long. but yeah :/
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...
Shadow is like 10 min in out of 3 hours X_X
What a really good review!!!! Love the Memes in between
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?
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.
Check out @aGameStatistic’s Tweet: twitter.com/aGameStatistic/status/1082426214457864192?s=09
What is that arena shooter game you showcased when talking about the hypothetical zeppelin scenario?
I always knew this day would come. I just didnt think itd be today.
Timesplitters future perfect
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.
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.
Nah, Lara's design in this game is awesome. I love the way she looks in Rise.
Ew
@@TheGameStatistic ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
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.
Exactly. I also hate that her hands stick to the wall during climbing. I don't really feel like doing anything in the reboot games except moving her from one cutscene to another
So is the last revelation remix at the start ever gonna be released?
Nope
Why? I thought it was good
The cool rope thingy is in this game! But great reviews.
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)
Have you considered doing reviews of The Tomb Raider Gold add on from years ago?
Yeah. one of these days
Will you ever do a shadow of the tomb raider review? Interested to see your thoughts on it
its coming. very very slowly. hell RE4 took over 6 months cause life
The Game Statistic damn i can understand that, appreciate the response anyway and just looking to see if you liked it more than the previous two ‘ann’ games cause it actually wanted you to explore stuff
@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 :)
Iwatched ur Ville Suominen video when it came out, wtf happened to u? XDDDDDDDDDDDD
What was that animated Lara clip at 14:38 from?
Rise of ann coulter im absolutely dying! These are the best reviews i've ever seen in my life.
"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.
is it perfect?
Where can i find the ''the last revelation'' music from the beginning?Can someone link me?
Hamza Demirkaynak i composed it just for this review. Its not released anywhere.
is there a close future where you can make or release the full version cause it surely sounded amazing!pretty please
I have a full version. If it did get released it would be on the reduxsound channel.
thank you!
Great review
Rise of Ann Coulter had me in tears.
Are you ever gonna do the Shadow of the Tomb Raider review?
on the writing portion. but only 8,000 or so words in
@@TheGameStatistic Alright. Cool. Just letting you know we are still waiting.
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

The rope ascender is in the shop
Good overview of this parody of a Tomb Raider game. This third person shooter exemplifies well the current trends in gaming...
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.
Wacht even..In Utrecht?
@@807D14M0ND5 ja de PC port wel.
@@807D14M0ND5 www.wikiraider.com/index.php/Nixxes
What's the outro music around 42:00?
i made it myself
Probably the best in the modern trilogy, overall decent games but in hindsight still disappointing and not coming close to the originals
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?
played em with a friend. had good fun with em. dont think theyre good games for reasons longer than what a youtube comment will allow.
Are you going to cover Shadow of the Tomb Raider?
review is 13.5k words in. slowly but surely
so which tomb raider games are worth it?
1,2,3,4,5,7,anniversary,8
Why does Lara now look like Justin Bieber?
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!
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.
Is that an Old Lara Mod that I see?
What's the name of that song in the intro?
i made it for the video
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.
It's one stage that isn't even finished yet. Let the man finish what he started.
Yeah, I guess I'm getting a bit ahead of myself :) Thanks for the reply!
K
what arena shooting game is that at 14:47?
Definitely play time splitters
Hopefully SOTTR will also learn with this game shortcomings like this one did with TR 2013.🐗
😂. Im sorry. i was laughing at the thought.
@@TheGameStatistic Understandable, have a great day.🐌
Clearly you are Chester from Sifl & Olly. I love your videos.
Nothing about Lara is similar to Ann Coulter. Yet the fact that you draw these sorts of conclusions is oddly relatable.
I was going to go to sleep for school. Buuuutttttt fuck it
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!
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
All the footage is there. but it's in the scripting phase now. Just trying to raise the standard so it's more on par with at least RE4.
RISE or Shadow of the Tomb Raider?? I'm not sure which to buy🤔🤔
fine a phone both in new york and spend the money on calls to your mom
@@TheGameStatistic are they really not worth it?
@@matrixlone Hell naw
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to punch a gamer
I really hated this one, i scripted this one
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.
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.
Please do Shadow of the Tomb Raider 🙌
I enjoyed the Croft manor in this game more than the actual game
what is your favorite tomb raider game
Connor Schuler anniversary.
Connor Schuler number 2 easy :)
i'm starting the last video in the series and i'm angry there's not more
Review shawdow of the tomb raider
twitter.com/aGameStatistic/status/1082426214457864192
21:26 you are right
I hope you review the next game.
Not gonna review Guardian of Light and Temple of Osiris?
Tomb Raider Guardian of Light was a 2010 under the radar fun genre shift. It's ignored a lot. I'm doing it too. And it's a shame because it's good fun. Nothing but game play from start to finish. And all in all a good dungeon crawling, action, puzzle outing.
Tomb Raider Temple of Osiris was a 2014 continuation where Lara makes friends with 2 gods who can wear tony hawk shirts and a black guy. There's probably a clip of the Metroid other M guy in there. 4 people can play. The puzzles are super well thought out. Buy it.
Buy them both.
Done.
The Game Statistic thank you :)
The reboots are lame
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
I stand corrected.
The Game Statistic thx
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
Dude you’re fucking hilarious
have you heard of shadow of the tomb raider
Its probably gonna drown in Poltical Correctness and SJW Shit.
Holy shit its finally ogre! Out with the garbage fire and in with the new one!
please do the hitman series someday.
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.
do more tomb raider
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.
I'd argue that they would have had much more freedom to do whatever they wanted if they didn't bind themselves to Lara Croft name.
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
Defender of humanity.
Kill me.
Just out of curiosity, are you gonna do a shadow review?
If a kind soul wants to gift it sure. But out of the gates im sure everyones gonna scramble to get their review on the table despite the likely fact that shadow will be an unfinished game upon release. it'll go through updates and DLCs for a while until the cycle of milking out money is over. Only after that point would i actually be able to assess the product.
My favorite review is the Chronicles one...the tone is soooo jaded. Kind of jaded here too, but you are so done. Ann Coulter is just not compelling and her constant mouthing off is unacceptable.
Really? A lot of people hate that one.
Btw. she can't really dive until the very end of the game were she than can dive only one feet deep (30cm).
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
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.
The Game Statistic so because a character changes and is more clothed, therefore it’s an agenda? Serious games are selling amazingly well, and 2013 Tomb Raider was a reboot, so of course they’re going to look at what works with game sales, and the result of that is making Lara Croft more gritty and more realised as a human being you can take seriously.
Now I like Classic Lara as well, but times change, and I’m glad she has physically changed, why should she stay the same, it’s gets stale after a while which this franchise did.
You have your opinion, but not everything is an agenda feminist or not. Somethings can just morph into newer things, therefore developing the franchise into new areas. If it didn’t it would just be stagnant as it would have nowhere else to go.
DarkSonic180 at the beginning it wasn’t but things change, and that’s not a bad thing. Otherwise, things just become stagnant.
“Things change to become even more stagnant and boring than they already were.”
I’m glad the reboot Lara franchise died on a wet fart.
