Complaints about the game aside, I love the pirates losing their poo poo when you get a bigger gun. It makes for a good Level Up Moment. Did the AI also get more cautious? They seemed to be running for cover more. I might be crazy there.

To be fair, Lara's already had a pretty incredible healing factor. It's just that beforehand it meant using disposable medkits found in ancient ruins untouched for centuries to heal large chunks of herself eaten by dinosaurs.

Capybara are way bigger, Heave. Like 150 pounds. A capybara is just straight up the size of some random-rear end person. The ROUSes were too small.

Capybaras are indeed huge, up there with some of the larger dog breeds. They're also chill as gently caress.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AW5W9HuB1M

Octarine Dream posted:I vaguely remember someone railing against some game in the series "destroying the tone" of Tomb Raider. Maybe not the 2013 one, but one of the games everyone pretends didn't happen. Anyone curious about the game's development should read the Final Hours of Tomb Raider by Geoff Keighley. The game underwent two reboots from a Team Ico influenced game (minor gameplay spoilers in cut content video) to survival horror before settling on the third-person shooter with an Arkham Asylum type overworld we have now.

I think they've kinda lost touch with how to do that, since they've been relying on Mathias for all the thinking and talking to people stuff. You've been raping and pillaging for so long, you start to forget how to do anything else. Action Bad Guys, am I right?

Ar one point they actual try to do that because they are attacked by both undead samurais and Lara,. Of course they gently caress it up because they are completely inept and Lara is knee deep in psychosis at that point Alhazred fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Jan 31, 2015 |

So, with an entire island to build on, what lunatic decides to build their home halfway up a cliff? Also, this game's cloth is terrific stuff. In the first video, when you look out over all the wrecks on the coastline, there's some old wooden boat which is probably 500 years old and rotted down to its frame, but it still has half its sails. No wonder Lara can swing on fifty year old banners and not have them crumble to dust. Is Lara really so rare a name in the US? I wonder if it only exists in Commonwealth countries, because not only have I known three Laras in my life, I used to live near a town named Lara. EDIT: It might only be in Australia, actually. A quick google tells me Australia is pretty much the only country where Lara has ever cracked the top 50 for most popular girl's name.

"Somebody brought up in the thread a theory that Lara is just so full of diseases that nothing else can hurt her." Hey, something I wrote got mentioned in a video!  I like how the guards' casual conversations are actually just big, missable exposition dumps. And Lara, honey, there are MUCH safer ways to get a hysterectomy... gregory fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Feb 10, 2015 |

Also, if you were going to pick up some gun that had been sitting around in a wind blown desert for 80 years and jam some fresh ammo into it, with the expectation of A: it working and B: Not exploding. Then a pump action shotgun is a top choice. They're very simple and durable machines. Plus the US military has been using 12 gauge as its standard shotgun round since at least ww1, so the gun that was made to fire 12ga paper-shelled buckshot in 1942 will still be able to fire 12ga plastic-shelled buckshot today. There's plenty of people still trading around and using 100+ year old ww1 rifles. Guns can last for a loving long time in good conditions and only really go obsolete if their ammo dries up.

Thank you for this. I'm glad we have a gun nerd in the audience to tell us these things.

I see the video starts with yet more people building on the side of a cliff. Who does that  You have an entire island, and you decide to build your poo poo clinging to the side of a massive drop in the middle of tornado alley?Also loving Bear Gryllis; that man must hold some kind of record for the number of "survival" shows he's done where everything he does is guaranteed to get you painfully killed or at least horribly disfigured.

I can't remember who it was, but one of the non-sham survivor guys did an episode set in my backyard of the American high desert. It was neat to see how many of their tips I'd learned in Scouts and still remembered. Basic stuff like traveling at dawn/dusk to avoid the worst heat and cold, using pine needles for insulation, spotting thirsty plants from a distance to know where to go for water (anything deciduous is usually the clincher there, if you see a cluster of cottonwoods they need to be drinking from *something* and you just need to hope it's not deep underground), the kinds of things that are picked up by us natives without even realizing we're learning it, but still cool.

The proximity to the cliff and the wind might have some spiritual meaning. And these buildings are quite old. Maybe it wasn't near a cliff, but the cliff eroded towards it.

Les Stroud, meanwhile, will show you how to either get a fire going to sterilize the water you don't trust or how to set up a solar still to do the same if you can't get a fire going. If I recall correctly, Bear's said that some of the dumber stuff was from the producers going for more dramatic stuff. Still doesn't excuse it.

Basically, if you ever followed his advice you would die.But he's ruggedly handsome and has a great voice so his shows went forever. He's the "Better drink my own piss" guy.
