    a friend of mine brought something up just now that I think is interesting

    after watching Anita Sarkeesian's first video, he asked me a question that I am not sure how to answer

    kinda spoilers
    is Sam a damsel in distress?

    she's disempowered and an object to be acted on during the game, but does it still count if it's Lara doing the acting?

    yes, she definitely is and yes it still counts

    so
    has anyone said this yet?
    that ending was anti-climactic, as well as anti-climatic
    I regret nothing
    seriously though
    when an evil crazy spirit monster gets stabbed with a torch and destroyed
    I expect more than a shriek and a bang, I want me some explosions and shit, I think that's reasonable

    oh can we also talk about how Lara's ass is somehow a bag of holding?
    that camcorder, the tools, the log book, the boat rope thingy
    I think it's hilarious

    That she has plenty of junk in her trunk

    let's not forget all the souvenir loot she's grabbed from each tomb.

    "12:07 PM - VALVΣjunkie: something something college something something experimentation
    12:07 PM - VALVΣjunkie: something something stretching something something apples"

    also, final thoughts, I am grateful all of those collecties and relics didn't obscure the view

    i was hoping all the gear you accumulate would just be constantly visible on lara. they started to go that way, with how you can always see the axe, pistol, etc on her belt. but I was sad to see like the bow isn't on her back unless you specifically have the bow equipped

  • Options

    eh, I think it would have gotten to be too much
    kind of like how they don't make everything visible when you get it in legend of zelda
    there's just a lot of stuff
    even just a shotgun, a rifle, and the bow, can you imagine how tangled that would get?

  • Options

    you see whatever weapon you have equipped on her back

    except the pistol of course but she'll have the shotgun or assault rifle slung there

    just finished up

    there is an INCREDIBLE fan service moment right at the end

    I am not even really a Tomb Raider fan and I still got really excited by it

    I saw this post the other day and thought "I bet it's..." and then it was exactly what I thought and it was awesome

    I actually really thought that they were going to do this when
    Roth dies and the camera focuses on his pistol for a while. But then it turned out to just be the next upgrade and I was all "aww" and forgot about it until the end when it actually happened and then everything was fantastic.

    I thought the fan-service moment was going to be
    After everything has calmed down and they're sailing away, press Y to pick up second pistol

    This is why I'm not in game design.

    Only thing that the Tomb Raider ending was missing

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    The song is what takes it to the extra mile, I agree.

    But I can sleep soundly knowing there's a game that exists with a "pump fist in the air triumphantly" QTE, and that's what matters.

    man, some heavy shit going on with Roth treating you like the daughter he never had but actually did have a daughter he never met with Reyes who thinks Roth is treating Lara too much like his daughter and resents you for it but she's the one keeping the existence of his daughter away from him

    I hope that the surviving Endurance crew members show up in the next game.

    Civics is not a consumer product that you can ignore because you don’t like the options presented.

    If I just got the
    composite bow
    how far along am I?

    Based on what was going on before that I assumed I was pretty close, but I'm not sure what the percentage on the save is actually measuring.
