Anyone remember back in mid-2012 when there was this huge scandal
about a scene in the upcoming Tomb Raider
reboot that had themes of sexual abuse (see: RAPE)? But then Crystal Dynamics' studio manager came out and said "Oh my
god, there's no way we'd put anything like that in a video game!"? Well,
this is because there's no such thing as bad publicity and, let's be
honest, no one's given a flying fuck about the Tomb Raider franchise
since the Playstation 1. While
this game is generally considered a "reboot", there are others that argue that
it is, in fact, a prequel to the games that only a handful of people
cared about 17 years ago. They needed to stir up some controversy so
that the world would actually pay attention to the game when it
launched, though the whole thing failed horribly when everyone found
out that they'd been lying to us and the "attempted rape scene" was
merely some psycho being creepy. LAME! But if you're looking for Tomb
Raider porn, that's what the internet is for.
In any
case this article is about the game, not the idiocy surrounding
it. I'd much rather review the idiocy contained on the disc.
