Call of Duty is now Fortnite.

Sweat maybe

I'll give them credit, they took a hard crack at mashing up the classic styling of Lara and the modern realistic version of her to produce a novel-looking character who I do not recognize at all.

Embracer trying to make back some of that crystal dynamics money

Call of Duty is a absolute joke. I don’t know why people waste money on this trash.

Kids grew up playing Roblox and now they’ve ruined gaming as a whole because they buy every stupid little thing with mommy’s credit card because they got used to spending robux on everything

Sorry this is an angry and over generalized comment but I’m just disappointed that we get like one good game a year. This year was BG3, last year was elden ring, year before God of War.

I will take the PS3/360 era of gaming where we were still in the modern era but every game didn’t try to nickel and dime you to death. Even the PS2 era that I grew up with was better than this.

Pointing to a franchise that has been incredibly stale and unimaginative for years now and using that to condemn video games as a whole is pretty misguided, I think.

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You are incredibly right. Call of Duty is a bad example to point to the gaming industry as a whole. I’m just am frustrated because it used to be good.

Her design is really cool - I wonder if this is the look they're going for in the new game!

[–] rich@feddit.uk -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All I can say is - I dont give a shit, but thank god they used her proper, actual design rather than the redesign bollocks.

I'll likely never play COD again but that's the best Lara Croft has looked in years. Makes me want a true modern sequel to the originals.

[–] helloharu@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There’s too many polygons for this to be her actual design.

Not pointy enough
