Lara Croft murdered human beings and endangered animals so that she could fill her inherited mansion with gaudy trinkets under the guise of being an "archaeologist." Best role model ever.
I mean..they are all murderous cultists who were going to kill her and her friends haha Hard to argue it's a bad thing But in general yea, I don't remember her being like Indy & giving it to museums Although I do get annoyed with their rants about naughty dog when the gameplay of last of us is solid haha And these games were fun, they have good gameplay and they definitely aren't just on rails, they definitely come across cynical & old haha, hating cinematic games as if their gameplay isn't good, when they like Mario which is as shallow and generic as games get But I still love rewatching these, they can hate what they want I don't get why the chat cares so much about forcing them to like shit haha, it's mainly why they quit I mean stories can have way more depth in a game because there's so much more time to develop characters and the world than a movie
@@kurtwagnerx3 no they are flooded with fortnight clones becuase fortnight/pubg started a Battle Royale cash grab inudstry wide. Just like moba and call of duty clones before it.
I was super surprised and pleased to hear you talking about the Venture Bros! Anyway, what, you stopped playing video games? What will I do when I run out of Previously Recorded content?!
The 2005 Hitchhiker's guide had a lot of good in it! Henson puppets, John Malkovich, the performances were all spot on (even if I don't totally agree with Sam Rockwell's version of Zaphod); the issue I have with the movie was the totally forced love plot. I find the Hitchhiker's guide series in general an awfully bad place for romance as the style is usually so detached, this can be evidenced in the fourth book of the series as well when arthur returns to an alternate earth and falls in love with a human.
the original tombraider games were most definitely action games you ran around with multiple weapons shot bad guys and monsters. .the puzzle solving and level navigation were difficult because, of early 3D controls. the actual puzzles weren't too different from the ones you come across in the reboot.
My problem with this Tomb Raider game was that it wasn't a Tomb Raider game. It felt like the shootout scenes and set pieces were the central theme of this game. Way too much gun play, not nearly enough puzzle solving.
Fun fact about this game for those that didn't know, it was written by Rhianna Pratchett, daughter of author Terry Pratchett creator of the Discworld novels.
1:50:18 "not everything needs to be bloodborne" and everything was never bloodborne. the problem i have with these types of cinematic "games" is that they are barely and i mean BARELY a game. these need to be categorized separately from gaming and games. they are not games, and that distinction has to be made quickly bcos otherwise, gaming would get hurt and games would not exist. all we would have is 3rd person, cutscene shooter with fake gameplay. im not saying that these should not exist, they do serve a purpose for people who enjoy them, what im saying is they need to be categorised separately from gaming and games.
I totally understand why people compare these rebooted Tomb Raider games to Naughty Dog games, but to be fair they are slightly better in that there's more of an open world exploration and a little more agency to how you approach each situations (stealth or guns.. or bow & arrows... a blazing). Arguably these games kind of feel more like Horizon Zero Dawn or the Assassin's Creed games than any Naughty Dog game.
The tomb raider games have devolved into action shooter games with a an emphasis on that. They should just be Laura going after an artifact in a tomb and then she might get caught up in a story where she needs to gather items that need to be raided from tombs to get. You can have the action survival stuff too but the focus should be on raiding tombs. Solving complex puzzles should be the crux of the game. Not linear gun battles and boring far cry survival shit.
Take any Aliens movie and replace the androids with a Muppet. Muppet Ash trying to kill Ripley...talking about perfect organisms....Ripley being shocked that Bishop isn't a real person.
I'm getting Metroid: Other M flashbacks from this stupid internal monologue. Can't we have a videogame protagonist who's inner thoughts are cheerful, funny, or barring that at least don't sound completely bored out of their skull?
Gameplay and mechanics are the core elements of a game. But story is what defines everything else : characters, settings, art design, music, etc. As far as I’m concerned, they go hand in hand. For instance, Celeste would be fine as a Super Meat Boy like platformer, but its story elevates it as something I would qualify as superior to SMB.
He got a co-writing credit but I don't know how much new stuff he contributed. Whatever, he really shouldn't have bothered: he was clearly bored with the whole thing and doing it for the money by the time Mostly Harmless came out.
It's not a golden age of TV for me, Jack. Everything is either serialized or an anthology show. I don't want to wait an entire season for a story arc to resolve itself. That's one reason why I hated multi episode stories of the animated Xmen when I was a kid. There are no episodic shows like TNG anymore outside of sitcoms or Adult Swim.
Debate Me Irl Why? Well, i guess its subjective like anything else. It wasn't ground breaking or new but it kept my attention all the way through and i looked forward to playing it. I thought it was fun.
You know what is funny though, there will probably be a lot of comparison to Uncharted, but if you go back, it was actually Tomb Raider: Anniversary that contained all the mechanics of Uncharted but proceeded it by a couple of months.
Yeah, they absolutely tutned this into uncharted. They took out the tomb raiding ffs! Has anyone played the recent tomb raider? Is it similar to the first reboot? As a fan of tomb raider 3, would i enjoy it?
If you play Shadow of the Tomb Raider on hardest exploration and puzzle difficulty I think you will enjoy it. Much less focus on combat in Shadow and most of it can be played through with some fun stealth mechanics. The puzzles are much better in Shadow. Make sure to hit all the optional tombs and crypts as well.
It's so Rich Evans to dismiss this out of hand because she doesn't start the game as comic book hero, hard titted, back flipping dual wielding Indy Jones in a teal swimsuit. It picks up pretty quick once she heals and finds some weapons. It's about the progression sometimes...ever heard of a "hero's journey"? Also, doesn't pay attention and then asks what the point of the game is. Do you have chat running and commentate on games off stream? That tends to prevent immersion. There is a narrative, and the objective is to solve the mystery of Yamatai and get off the island, while exploring and fighting. What is the point of any game? You have excuses for the shortcomings of the games you like, so just keep playing those I guess.
Everyone claims hard core history is the greatest podcast their ever was, thats why i'll never listen to it. Because people hype it up so much ,there is no way it can live up to it.
Event Horizon is actually a Warhammer40k movie, it just didn't get the rights to use the 40k name. Its about humanities first experiences with the warp and what happens when you don't have a gellar field but try to traverse the warp. Thats actually only a long standing fan theory, though it sync's up surprisingly well and a lot of the "demonic imagery" that is used matches up really well with Slaanesh related things. Even if its not technically a 40k film, I truly think it was atleast inspired by it.
Not in the 90's, that changed dramatically in the early 2000's and nowadays they basically give it out for free. Even then in the early 2000's it was mostly to organized big companies like THQ or SSI. The in the past decade or so they started giving it out like how you are talking about and even no-name studios could get a license.
I only ever cared about a single thing in this trash game and that one single thing never got answered. How the fuck did the Japanese military get tanks, battery guns, concrete and other heavy resources on that damn island if every plane and ship that gets near is destroyed? Am I supposed to believe that they somehow started swimming towards the island? If that's the case then how did they get those tons of materials up there, and how did they get whole tunnels and electricity going? What the fuck man.
This was my first Tomb Raider game, I played through it on both difficulties, and it thoroughly unimpressed me. Rise of the Tomb Raider wasn’t much better. However, these reboots did inspire me to play the Tomb Raider PS3 collection by Crystal Dynamics which ended up being a much more enjoyable experience.
Lara Croft: ambitious, fish out of water, untapped potential, unsure of herself, has an adventurous disposition inherited from her mysterious dad who she feels a responsibility to emulate and honor, arcing from a novice to hardened gun toting tomb raider. If this sounds like a napkin to you, you might want to see an optometrist before blaming the game.
"KOTOR, KOTOR, KOTOR" is the gamer's version of HODOR! If you want to play a fun survival game, try Don't Starve! :p Lara puts burning torch on a wooden table to examine cultural masks stuff... nothing burns :D. As for Touwwwb Rayder: Burn shit up - The game Forward stick interrupted by cutscenes - The game Lady moans - The game Downblouse - The game Tanktop in peril - The game Poetic singer and automatic door slamming - The game
Didn't you guys like god of war? That game sucked! So boring gameplay and it forces you to experience a story, it literally slows down when story happens and won't let me look away during a cut scene!. The combat in god of war sucks! It's so clunky and not fluid at all! How can you like that?! Damn you I bought that game based on your recommendation! Never again, I learned my lesson. This is just the beginning of Raider, this game despite of the terribly generic story is soooo much more fun than god of war especially later in the game when you have all you're weapons etc it becomes more like horizon gameplaywise fast paced and fun fluid combat system. Could have used some more interesting puzzles and cut back on story but still tons better than god of war. And you hated on Doom 2016 as well when it was presented at e3 and then you loved it when it was released. You guys are hacks sometimes seriously. You should at least acknowledge that you where wrong about Doom 2016. God I both love and hate you guys, its very annoying. and I bought the fucking game!
I really hate how Lara is killed like 20 times during the first 20 minutes of this game yet somehow survives. They went so far with it I was completely removed from the story.
This game was so much more fun than the original ^^ Yep, hate me old fans^^ But I loved it. And didn'T expect to. And I loved the second one. And I cannot wait for the final one. But, as I type this at the start of the vid ... I expect those two to really hate it. For the usual reasons...Too much reading, too much story, too many button prompts, not enough "freedom" etc, and most important of all "not like the old ones, so it's baaaaaaaaad!" , the usual drivel we expect those two hacks to complain about ... making me ever hate them a bit more, and keeping me coming back for more - ha!
Is the second rebook an actual tomb raider game? Like my favorite old school TR 3? Or is it another uncharted clone with no tombs to raid lime the first reboot?
the idea that games can't use story to enhance them is so fucking limiting. this archaic idea that games can't be a narrative medium because other narrative media exist is absolute nonsense. "why are you watching a movie for the story??? read a book!! you should be watching a movie for the cinematography!" i'm so glad i'm not an old fuck who can't enjoy things unless they 100% align with my childhood experiences
"disguised qte fist fights" what are you even talking about? uncharted 4 has some really good cover shooting where you're never allowed to stay behind one cover for too long and there's environmental gimmicks like rope swings and slides that you have to utilize in order to avoid fire. every enemy encounter takes place in a highly vertical piece of environment where you can switch between stealth and cover shooting depending on the situation. i won't defend the pointless climbing sections but name me one other tps where you can rope swing and jump into the air and then take out an enemy below you with a melee attack
Ninteny "you're never allowed to stay behind cover for too long" -sounds like you're describing a game which is deciding when and where you'll be in cover, instead of letting the player figure that out through trial and error. Look, I can't speak for Rich but Jack has said that he's playing Witcher 3 and that's heavily story-driven. But it's also a video game. The point is that in a video game you should have the freedom as a character not only to do what you want but also to drive and have an impact on the story. TW3 does this exceptionally well and it makes you feel like you're creating the story rather than just participating in someone else's story. Games like The Last of Us are the reason I stopped giving a shit about video games years ago. It was so hyped and then when I played it, it reminded me of the arcade on-rails shooters like House of the Dead. The bottom line is that games are a unique medium in that they get to put you in a character's position. If you are then not actually given any real freedom in impacting the story, it might as well be a film... You're just showing me your story in which I occasionally get to participate.
Lara Croft murdered human beings and endangered animals so that she could fill her inherited mansion with gaudy trinkets under the guise of being an "archaeologist." Best role model ever.
I mean..they are all murderous cultists who were going to kill her and her friends haha
Hard to argue it's a bad thing
But in general yea, I don't remember her being like Indy & giving it to museums
Although I do get annoyed with their rants about naughty dog when the gameplay of last of us is solid haha
And these games were fun, they have good gameplay and they definitely aren't just on rails, they definitely come across cynical & old haha, hating cinematic games as if their gameplay isn't good, when they like Mario which is as shallow and generic as games get
But I still love rewatching these, they can hate what they want
I don't get why the chat cares so much about forcing them to like shit haha, it's mainly why they quit
I mean stories can have way more depth in a game because there's so much more time to develop characters and the world than a movie
“Why does every game need to focus on gameplay?”
Gaze in awe at the dumbest question I’ve ever heard.
@Phantom Thieves and that's why the market is flooded with fortnight clones
@@kurtwagnerx3 no they are flooded with fortnight clones becuase fortnight/pubg started a Battle Royale cash grab inudstry wide. Just like moba and call of duty clones before it.
Rian Johnson the kind of guy to invert both the X and the Y.
I am very disappointed that this session hasn't been named "Busty girls need role models too!"
Ivan Cantero Muñoz Nu Lara doesn't have much of a bust. Also Rich Evans called this game to a tee.
I'm very disappointed in _myself_ that I recognized the session name's reference.
Sluggy Freelance, really? Is that a "Jack" thing?
Why? That’s crap.
I was super surprised and pleased to hear you talking about the Venture Bros! Anyway, what, you stopped playing video games? What will I do when I run out of Previously Recorded content?!
maybe if someone makes a documentary about Venture Bros Jack will give it a chance
Dr Girlfriend approves this message

I agree Bowie would have been fantastic for Zaphod. BUT, I think Sam Rockwell pretty much nailed it.
My PC copy of Tomb Raider crashed at the exact same point as with Jack's playthrough, scaling up the rock wall.
Same. I was playing on a low end laptop so was 100% sure it was the pc's fault. Turns out it might not have been.
For the muppet question, I'm going with The Dark Knight, keep Harvey Dent
Fun fact about this game for those that didn't know, it was written by Rhianna Pratchett, daughter of author Terry Pratchett creator of the Discworld novels.
So shes to blame...good to know.
1:50:18 "not everything needs to be bloodborne" and everything was never bloodborne. the problem i have with these types of cinematic "games" is that they are barely and i mean BARELY a game. these need to be categorized separately from gaming and games. they are not games, and that distinction has to be made quickly bcos otherwise, gaming would get hurt and games would not exist. all we would have is 3rd person, cutscene shooter with fake gameplay.
im not saying that these should not exist, they do serve a purpose for people who enjoy them, what im saying is they need to be categorised separately from gaming and games.
Jack finally played that game I gifted him years ago!
Fun coincidence: David Bowie and Graham Chapman have the same birthday. I only know this because it's also my birthday.
Well, i've watched every BOTW multiple times, Re:View, HITB and everything else.. time to check out whatever Previously Recorded was.
I totally understand why people compare these rebooted Tomb Raider games to Naughty Dog games, but to be fair they are slightly better in that there's more of an open world exploration and a little more agency to how you approach each situations (stealth or guns.. or bow & arrows... a blazing).

Holy cow the Vermintood 2 part around 01:30:00 was amazing lol Rich's mispronunciations are infectious
complains that puzzles are too easy looking....seconds later is struggling to do puzzle
I'm no player and the 1st puzzle is the only one i got stuck at.
You guys should check out The Darkness games, they're both pretty great first person shooters and have a pretty interesting story
For Trillian I would suggest Sandra Bullock. She's good at that impatient voice of reason that Trillian kind of has.
These were good times.
The tomb raider games have devolved into action shooter games with a an emphasis on that. They should just be Laura going after an artifact in a tomb and then she might get caught up in a story where she needs to gather items that need to be raided from tombs to get.

3rd base feels like warm apple pie
Adam Sandler as Marty, Buscemi as Doc, David Spade as George, and John Cena as Biff.
"Bloodborne doesn't have a story." It doesn't have a spoon-fed story, that I'll give you.
Take any Aliens movie and replace the androids with a Muppet. Muppet Ash trying to kill Ripley...talking about perfect organisms....Ripley being shocked that Bishop isn't a real person.
Dr. Bunsen as Ash, Beaker as Bishop!
James Haselhurst you are victorious sir!
I am very disappointed that the last episode wasn't "Slayer of Orcis"
The car should be voiced by David Hasselhoff.
Human Centipede as muppets except for the doctor.
Jack, I was summoned by the spheres!
This game was only popular because if it looks realistic and the acting is okay idiots get tricked into thinking its a movie.
Also in the muppets Godfather, you keep human Tom Hagen
when he said "nadier" of gaming I thought that was some shitty hockey player or something
I'm getting Metroid: Other M flashbacks from this stupid internal monologue. Can't we have a videogame protagonist who's inner thoughts are cheerful, funny, or barring that at least don't sound completely bored out of their skull?
Yes! Huge Knockers stream
Our old NES gets more play than our Switch.
Review Octopath Traveler.
This reboot is one of fav modern Triple A game.
chat gotta let it go on the venture bros its getting embarassin

For instance, Celeste would be fine as a Super Meat Boy like platformer, but its story elevates it as something I would qualify as superior to SMB.
No, cast away would need wilson as the human
I thought Venture Bros got it's head up it's ass in those later seasons. Pretty fun from season 2-4.
it's not nadir, rich. It;s morribund.
Been listening not watching have been fully unable to confirm spikes. Can I get a witness??
Pulp Fiction, replace everyone with muppets but Ving Rhames
I'd replace just Ving Rhames (no offence to him), Marcellus Wallace as a giant furry muppet.
You need one human in every part. Marvin as a human, Mia Wallace as a human, Marcellus Wallace as a human
everyone but zed as a Muppet 😂
Boogie nights..everyone is a muppet except mark wahlburg
Kamil Adamiec so everyone is a muppet
"They never wanted to go full rape"
39:07 Eeery.
I actually 100% this game... still not sure why.
Douglas Adams wrote the screenplay for the adaptation right???
He got a co-writing credit but I don't know how much new stuff he contributed. Whatever, he really shouldn't have bothered: he was clearly bored with the whole thing and doing it for the money by the time Mostly Harmless came out.
Ww2 is gonna be the first really good dceu movie baha!
Holy shit did Jack just put Iron Man 3 in the same league as Winter Soldier!? You can't compare a turd to a diamond
Croft Macaroni and Cheese. I finally got it.
It's not a golden age of TV for me, Jack. Everything is either serialized or an anthology show. I don't want to wait an entire season for a story arc to resolve itself.
That's one reason why I hated multi episode stories of the animated Xmen when I was a kid. There are no episodic shows like TNG anymore outside of sitcoms or Adult Swim.
Great game.
why so
Hell no.
Debate Me Irl Why? Well, i guess its subjective like anything else.
It wasn't ground breaking or new but it kept my attention all the way through and i looked forward to playing it. I thought it was fun.
+Kevin Comer It looks boring to me but I'm glad you had fun
You know what is funny though, there will probably be a lot of comparison to Uncharted, but if you go back, it was actually Tomb Raider: Anniversary that contained all the mechanics of Uncharted but proceeded it by a couple of months.
If they made a cobra kai movie, I would see it!
Rich, Rich, Rich... Her name's Lara Croft. Not Laura.
Yeah, they absolutely tutned this into uncharted. They took out the tomb raiding ffs!
Has anyone played the recent tomb raider? Is it similar to the first reboot? As a fan of tomb raider 3, would i enjoy it?
If you play Shadow of the Tomb Raider on hardest exploration and puzzle difficulty I think you will enjoy it. Much less focus on combat in Shadow and most of it can be played through with some fun stealth mechanics. The puzzles are much better in Shadow. Make sure to hit all the optional tombs and crypts as well.
they honestly make no sense here
I like this game, but i perfer lara as a confident 'Indiana jane' type, rather than a quivering torture porn victim.
Wonder woman may be my least favorite dceu movie.
It's so Rich Evans to dismiss this out of hand because she doesn't start the game as comic book hero, hard titted, back flipping dual wielding Indy Jones in a teal swimsuit. It picks up pretty quick once she heals and finds some weapons. It's about the progression sometimes...ever heard of a "hero's journey"?
Also, doesn't pay attention and then asks what the point of the game is. Do you have chat running and commentate on games off stream? That tends to prevent immersion. There is a narrative, and the objective is to solve the mystery of Yamatai and get off the island, while exploring and fighting. What is the point of any game? You have excuses for the shortcomings of the games you like, so just keep playing those I guess.
Everyone claims hard core history is the greatest podcast their ever was, thats why i'll never listen to it. Because people hype it up so much ,there is no way it can live up to it.
Watched
Event Horizon is actually a Warhammer40k movie, it just didn't get the rights to use the 40k name. Its about humanities first experiences with the warp and what happens when you don't have a gellar field but try to traverse the warp.
Thats actually only a long standing fan theory, though it sync's up surprisingly well and a lot of the "demonic imagery" that is used matches up really well with Slaanesh related things. Even if its not technically a 40k film, I truly think it was atleast inspired by it.
They give away Warhammer name to any Joe Schmoe, if movie wanted it it would have no problem.
Not in the 90's, that changed dramatically in the early 2000's and nowadays they basically give it out for free. Even then in the early 2000's it was mostly to organized big companies like THQ or SSI. The in the past decade or so they started giving it out like how you are talking about and even no-name studios could get a license.
This game was very popular. Unfortunately.
Twd pilot is a little tiny bit too slow.
I only ever cared about a single thing in this trash game and that one single thing never got answered. How the fuck did the Japanese military get tanks, battery guns, concrete and other heavy resources on that damn island if every plane and ship that gets near is destroyed? Am I supposed to believe that they somehow started swimming towards the island? If that's the case then how did they get those tons of materials up there, and how did they get whole tunnels and electricity going? What the fuck man.
"Womb Raider"
This game is a giant mediocre cluster of nonsense. Lara Croft used to be fun and now she’s just a shallow and boring wet napkin.
You sound like every bitter old man that was in chat when they played this yesterday.

Jason Zimmer On paper that sounds interesting. In execution she’s a nothing character. Original Lara was fun and swashbuckling.
"KOTOR, KOTOR, KOTOR" is the gamer's version of HODOR!

I don't think they give enough of a crap about the original games to really compare the two.
Dadko It’s barely a video game. It’s basically a hall of mirrors where you walk through and see all the whacky set pieces.
@Vox Draconia
"This game was so much more fun than the original ^^"
You lost me right there.
Not only was it a bad game, it was a bad movie.
Its a nice bowl but its Kraft Mac & Cheese.
The two tomb raider reboot are so dull and buggy.
Is the second rebook an actual tomb raider game? Like my favorite old school TR 3? Or is it another uncharted clone with no tombs to raid lime the first reboot?
I've played through both several times and I've never encountered a gameplay bug. Only a few visual ones
@@snickle1980 if you want a lot of tombs that don't hold your hand, get Shadow of the Tomb Raider and play on the hardest difficulty.
i don't even like this game but god their opinions annoy me so much why do i keep watching these
naughty dog games genuinely have good gameplay
the idea that games can't use story to enhance them is so fucking limiting. this archaic idea that games can't be a narrative medium because other narrative media exist is absolute nonsense. "why are you watching a movie for the story??? read a book!! you should be watching a movie for the cinematography!"
i'm so glad i'm not an old fuck who can't enjoy things unless they 100% align with my childhood experiences
what gameplay? one dimentional wall crawling, disguised qte fist fights or braindead cover shooting?
"disguised qte fist fights" what are you even talking about?
uncharted 4 has some really good cover shooting where you're never allowed to stay behind one cover for too long and there's environmental gimmicks like rope swings and slides that you have to utilize in order to avoid fire. every enemy encounter takes place in a highly vertical piece of environment where you can switch between stealth and cover shooting depending on the situation. i won't defend the pointless climbing sections but name me one other tps where you can rope swing and jump into the air and then take out an enemy below you with a melee attack
Ninteny "you're never allowed to stay behind cover for too long" -sounds like you're describing a game which is deciding when and where you'll be in cover, instead of letting the player figure that out through trial and error.
Look, I can't speak for Rich but Jack has said that he's playing Witcher 3 and that's heavily story-driven. But it's also a video game. The point is that in a video game you should have the freedom as a character not only to do what you want but also to drive and have an impact on the story. TW3 does this exceptionally well and it makes you feel like you're creating the story rather than just participating in someone else's story.
Games like The Last of Us are the reason I stopped giving a shit about video games years ago. It was so hyped and then when I played it, it reminded me of the arcade on-rails shooters like House of the Dead.
The bottom line is that games are a unique medium in that they get to put you in a character's position. If you are then not actually given any real freedom in impacting the story, it might as well be a film... You're just showing me your story in which I occasionally get to participate.
Rich is ignorant
i really want to go full crocodile brain on rich for his constant whining about these types of games but its easier to just watch something else.
game fuckn sucks!
Does not pay any attention to the game, calls it generic and casual.
Lol that annoyed me too. Plays on easy, pays attention to chat during the open world exploration parts that give you freedom. Smh.
