Ignoring most of what just happened.... I fucking *loved* new Lara. Maybe because I didn't really get into old Lara (maybe because of the triangle-tit thing). Playing the new Tomb Raider felt badass, because you (and the character) overcame what felt like real challenges, and real struggles, instead of like.... "RAWWWRRRRR NORTH KERIA BOMM RARRRRRRR CHINA RISES RAWWWWWWR GUNGUNGUNGUN." It was fuckin' visceral. Animal. And character growth happened. I didn't get the mewling-weakling-pussy vibe at *all*.

Haven't played the new lara yet. I used to get all caught up in the mansion-stalking, tiger fighting Lara of the Playstation 1. Honestly though, it looks like a huge improvement to the whole Tombraider legacy. I watched a part online where she's crawling through dead bodies or something, and one scene looked particularly challenging as shes rushing downstream, the player kept getting her impaled on stray logs and such ahah.
