I dunno, Rise of the Tomb Raider was pretty adventure-y and had Lara not pausing to say how terrible everything was. Granted it became less "Oh wow I'm gonna find a lost city" and more "Oh shit I gotta clean up my mess, whoops!" but on the whole it felt like a complete reversal of the Lara from the first reboot. The entire backhalf of that game is her just kicking all the ass before stopping to go diving in a leper colony. 


Personally I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with reboots. It's just that they have a bad track record because people correctly assume that they can slap the name of a popular old thing and phone it in. Like the best reboots are the ones that know how to pay homage while also doing its own thing, like the Planet of the Apes reboot.

Yeah, but she had to have the shit kicked out of her in order to get that far. I mean damn, Jackie Chan didn't have to put up with [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOjLelKGP-M] half that shit[/url], nor has any video game protagonist had to struggle as much as she did in order to become badass. (I.E. For most of an entire game) Hell, the very forces of nature worked against her, even before she was weighed down by implants! The radio tower's ladder buckles, the temple thing almost crashes to the ground, the pilot falls off the cliff, etc. And then there has to be deer-hunting scenes and 'spiritual' stuff to show how righteous she is for taking all the required gut-punches of adventurer training. My point is, I'm against the reboot because I don't want the female video game action hero to become the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L54F7iUFx9g]Black College-Movie-Guy[/url]... 

[sub][s]Well, yeah, but now there are circles of people that mod the games in order to make it not shit, apparently?... Although really, I'm not sure I'd trust the tastes of an un-ironic sonic fan.[/s][/sub]
