Lara Croft is still the most iconic and recognizable female video game character in history. Tomb Raider was marketed and sold on the sex appeal of Lara but it was still a very solid platformer with great atmosphere and fun exploration

Nintendo ran out of time.
Knowing that only naive kids would play it, they managed to get away with selling a half baked game at full price.
Stupid parents.

Of all the overrated bongjank, Tomb Raider might be the worst. Absolute garbage controls that literally never feel natural or satisfying.

I love how there's two decades worth of TRLE fan levels with the original engine and controls to enjoy and get new adventures out of. I love classic Tomb Raider so much, bros.

I don't think anybody has said the things you are claiming they have. Tomb Raider is pretty much universally loved with us old folks. The only thing that holds it back is the controls.
I shared the remakes with some coworkers and they legitimately can not learn to play the game. We grew up with the jank, were molded by it. Offer it to younger people and they'll have no clue how to adapt.

>Offer it to younger people and they'll have no clue how to adapt
There also wasn't an almost infinite choice of 3D games to choose from at the time as there is now. Why would they invest the time into a game they have trouble controlling when they can just move on to a game without tank controls.

They don't find Jumping Flash offensive since it wasn't successful. But they are threatened by Tomb Raider.

Retard reads about QTE in gaming news and suddenly feels compelled to regurgitate it in contexts it doesn't apply. Go kill yourself.

Lara Croft had no sex appeal and none was initially intended, but you didn't see Nintendo with anything similar. Not until Perfect Dark, but it was too late by then. Nintendo characters were all toons.

That's actually a good police sketch. The purpose of police sketches isn't to accurately depict the suspect but to make a memorable image that highlights the most unique and recognizable traits of the suspect. Then when somebody sees the suspect their mind subconsciously recalls the police sketch or something like that. It's closer to advertising or marketing than investigation.

>>12812018
The controls are dead simple and quite good even today. Tank controls are only difficult in games like Resident Evil where you have odd camera angles and constant switching between fixed cameras. In Tomb Raider the camera is rear center and follows better than a lot of modern games. The only real problem the game had was certain level designs didn't work with the low resolution and limited lighting effects. Certain pathways were very hard to see because all the textures blended together into a sea of grey or brown pixels and if there was a narrow passage through the rock or whatever it was easily missed.

Ah yes, obviously correct, much like all the other things you were "obviously correct" about in your own life, which is why you're an abysmal failure that nobody likes, isn't that right?

They were the ones who began sexualizing her, not the devs. You had to actually be around at the time to know that.

She was a sex icon from the word GO. Her designs during development may not have started out that way, but if you learned to actually write, you would realize that "Lara Croft had no sex appeal and none was initially intended" are two separate statements, that you felt the need to connect.

Begone, zoom-zoom.
