Hey guys, I hope you are having a great Friday! What was your favorite Tomb Raider game from both the new and old timeline? Let us know in the comments below.
My favourite was honestly rise of the tomb raider, just a lot more enjoyable mechanics and features were in that game, as well as an awesome story and awesome graphics.
Baffles me why people keep saying this when it's not like it's an unheard of precedent. Let's try another example. Gordon Freeman, MIT graduate goes for his first day at a new job at a research facility. First experiment goes wrong. Gordon pops out like he's Rambo all of a sudden. *no one ever thinks this is in any way strange or unusual*
The apartment in Rise of the TR is Lara's, not her father's. You can see newspapers about the Yamatai incident (that took place years after Richard's death)
I'll never get over how they wrote Sam out after TR2013 (I think there was a comic where she turned evil for no real reason). IMO she had the best dynamic with Lara.
They changed Lara's sidekick to show a different side of her character. That despite being highly intelligent and a total badass, she's still a woman. She gets too emotional at times and Jonah is there to knock some sense into her. I actually love the way Jonah talk to her like she's his bratty little sister. He's the male figure she needs especially after Roth's gone.
Basically, part of Himiko’s soul stuck with Sam, where the two would constantly battle. Eventually, Himiko took over after Sam was institutionalized for rash behavior, where Himiko killed a nurse and escaped. Trinity then tracked her down, but Lara got to her first. Lara then trapped Himiko’s soul in a special mirror (don’t remember the name) and I’m pretty sure Sam died from the whole ordeal.
@@jackschwartz1750 dude no, Lara saved Sam and banished Himiko forever. Sam is still alive and kicking, although is recovering. Lara told Sam's mum to take her somewhere safe. Sam was even mentioned in shadow.
Tomb Raider 2013: There's this lost mysterious kingdom that turns out ruled by an ancient queen who has supernatural power to control the weather in her island. Rise of The Tomb Raider : There's this ancient artifact that can preserve the lives of living organisms for as long as the artifact isn't destroyed. Shadow of The Tomb Raider : Kukulkan is real, folks!
If memory serves me right there were two versions of Lara depending on which console you played it on. The first version she looked scared and worried while the second version it looks like she had a facelift. I think she looks the worst in the 3rd one to be honest.
@@TitanSubZero15 Are you talking about the first game? She has a more young, innocent look in the original edition and a more mature, fierce appearance in the Definitive Edition.
It would contradict the stealth element of the game. Besides, nobody actually does that. It is impractical and an inefficient way to kill especially where ammo is scarce. Good shooters fire with two hands 98% of the time in any case, for stability and control. Maybe it's just me, but I don't want this new Lara to be another Hollywood cliche.
@@argop4518 what?? Dude its not an hollywood cliche , lara is an action hero , and although i loved this reboot , i want them to promise what they said The fact that this is the beggining and lara becomes tomb raider , guns and all
I'm currently on shadow of the tomb raider. Just before Laura eavesdrops on the conversation. I must say. This trilogy has been some of the best games I've played in a long time. I love a good action/adventure, single player game. Great Job putting the timeline together. BRAVO!!
Tech 101 i've really loved culture all my life, and it's so amazing that you can get some culture out of these games. shadow is great, the mayan culture is amazing. i hope you enjoyed shadow btw!!
There was a book released between Tomb Raider and Rise of, called The Ten Thousand Immortals, which is an important piece of the canon. Why is it not mentioned?
They haven't mentioned also about a lot of comics, novel Path to Apocalypse, and the events in Blood Ties DLC takes place during Rise, not after Rise. Very bad video, thumb down.
@@dmann1982 they also get so much wrong. That's was Lara's apartment since she didn't want to go home to the manor, she was nine when her dad died not an early teen.
You forgot to mention what happens in the canon Dark Horse comics set inbetween each game. Some very key plot points happen, and they also explain the absence of characters such as Sam from future entries.
@@viniciusferrari2653 You really don't need any of that stuff because barely any of it is referenced at all in the games honestly just the games is all you need to have a complete adventure. The comics and books are side adventures that only contradict what happens in the main games. But if you want to know anyway let me know and i can help you find what you need.
Your Narrative is beautiful. I'm retired at 67 and just bought all Tomb Raider games on Steam. I built my own pc and will definitely have fun with this series.
@@sirpizo555 I tried to play the first ever TR one but the controls where something I was never used to and the game would randomly crash oftenly so I just didnt bother playing the other ones
I hope they go back to original games again with full blown re-release and post-mortem continuation of the story. Bringing back the polygon like looks and original storyline should be priority. Being honest now - the best new graphics is not the direction we should always go. There is certain fun and feel to badly looking square like games, and I find the whole redesign of original Lara almost offensive.
@@kmnaaaa that is because you sucks at puzzle! 2013 TR is great in terms of story and gameplay, but the flat, cartoonish look of Lara and other characters really spoil it.
I really hope they release another one soon. My favourite has gotta be shadow of the tomb raider, the graphics and the other visuals are amazing and the tombs were done well and the storyline accelerated at a good pace. I've grown up playing video games, especially tomb raider and I'm on my third time replaying shadow. Definitely gonna buy the next one if they make it
2013 was my first introduction to Tomb Raider and Lara Croft! I had only heard of her but never really dived into it until these games. I absolutely love them. Im an explorer when it comes to games and i love finding the stories, journals, riches and everything throughout each game. It finally feels like theres an incentive to my exploring. I play for hours looking for everything.
@Jay Patel Square Enix Owns Eidos Montreal and has a Stake in Crystal Dynamics so WTH are you talking about? All three co own rights but Square has more control I’m not certain they’d just give up or sell Franchise. If they Do another one it should be done by Crystal Dynamics!
@@Poosay19 True and shadow goes on sale all the time. DO NOT pay a cent over $30 for the full edition, shadow is nowhere near as good as the first two. 2013 = 8/10 Rise = 9/10 Shadow = 7/10
nah she is pretty anyways in the first tomb raider she looked pretty asian or kazakh in the second she looked more greek, turkish and english which is better cause she is european
@@moonbae7358 greek turkish and english? Interesting that you could tell about that stuff. I said "it depends' bcos I see lara looking different in the same game. Just start the video again and observe the very first shot. Now compare that to the next one where lara see herself in the mirror. Totally different faces 😅
@@moonbae7358 still better than "miss cheekbones" in shadow although she looks really good when wearing the mask near the end. Lol. Thanks for the chat. Stay healthy there mate 🍻
I got all three games in a single bundle for $20. I love that I’m experiencing all this for the first time. I really enjoyed part 1. Currently playing part 2 rise of the tomb raider.
@@DmytroBogdan lol, that's actually not likely to happen, lara croft has always been and will always be white, plus I happen to disagree with you, she probably will become herself again in the next game.
Wow I have completely the opposite pretty much, The first game is the best and she looks by far the best in that one. Rise was the worst and she looks worse in both the sequels. Idk why they changed her looks so much between them.
bruh, the eyes went derpy, the nose, the lips, the face in general, everything was turned uglier for "reasons"(we all know which). the one in the reboot of 2013, looked actually British this time while looking similar to the iconic Lara Croft from the Legend timeline/trilogy the covert art for Rise of the Tomb Raider showed that same version only older, more mature and serious looking, she looked STUNNING and badass ...then the Rise and Shadow sequels came out and they turned her into some Paki look-alike while still promoting the game with the old cover(scummy marketting) and it wasn't until much later that they changed it to look like the in game character(sort of since they still made it look better than the actual in-game character) and the old wallpapers/promo covert art are still floating around the internet now but they are hard to find lmao
I've loved Tomb Raider since Tomb Raider 3, and the new trilogy is great but it makes me sad to see a whole group of people who love Lara, yet have never played in Croft manor and shot at Winston wearing a target or locked him in the freezer. Y'all missed out on some good times
@@Lorderlands I don't think he meant that he wants an old grey haired Lara. Maybe a Lara in her early 30's so she's a wiser, smarter and seasoned tomb raider and killer lol. Maybe even give her a couple scars telling the story of her previous excavations
The first one was great. Rise had fantastic gameplay, but it left a bit to be desired as far as the story goes, and I didn't particularly care for the redesign of Lara and Jonah. I really hoped shadow would take the story back to a similar style to the first one, but it strayed even farther away than rise did. IDK if they will make another one, but if they do I hope the character design and story go back to the original 2013 style.
Best character model was shadow for sure. I just really hope the actress returns for future games i can't get over her voice she played this trilogy so perfect.
wait how? Rise and Shadow look awful, they flattened all her feminine features and made her look plain, 2013 Reboot got it right and Definitive Edition got it even BETTER, actually looking like a next gen Lara Croft from the Legends trilogy. If they are going to link this trilogy with the Legends one, idk what they're gonna do, they're gonna have to update these older games with a new look(the 2013 DE look) and then stick to it to for the newer games. Cause a lot of us were teens growing up playing Tomb Raider Legend/Anniversary/Underworld and the last thing we want is to see our memories of our video game crush, be stepped and pissed on as they turn her into a...idkwtf.
BRo WHAT, Rise Lara is literally beautiful! Shadow looks kinda weird, 2013 isnt bad but Rise is great too a acutally like Rise looks of Lara more like how she can be bad? There@@BringDHouseDown
All of the Tomb Raider fans here should really try the reboot comics. Trust met they are worth it and complete the story. Especially if u love Lara's character.
On the other hand, I feel that Rise and Shadow of the Tomb Raider don't even belong in the same series as the first one. They might have similar mechanics, but the characters' appearances, the genres, the themes, and the styles are all different.
This is kinda crazy I just started playing through these games on my stream and I’ve been enjoying them so much. Kinda cool this video was made at this time.
The first TR reboot game is amazing. If anyone hasn't played it yet I can only recommend it, but be warned the controls are a little clunky. The story is *really* good. I have completed it on PC and Xbone.
If they ever decide to make another Tomb Raider with this storyline, they should develop her character into the likeness of the original. And they should bring back other characters like Sam.
Loved the first one but Rise and Shadow are extremely forgettable. I’m still puzzled as to what they were thinking when they got rid of Sam who had the best chemistry with Lara and replaced her with Jonah who was barely in it.
Same here I feel like there is so much they did good I just make a video talking about how the cutscenes on TR2013 showed group conflict I hope you check it out
I just played the games for the first time last week and I loved them, I’ve never been a gamer and these are actually the very first games I’ve ever played, other than Mario when I was a kid. I powered through the first two games super fast, took me like a week to complete both. Now I’m trying to enjoy SOTTR more, I’m trying to stop and explore more, to really take in the game and it’s surroundings. The jungle in Peru is gorgeous, my favourite world so far in the trilogy.
You showed so many things that I've never found..Like the zombies..When I play again I will get there! Thank you for the information!! +1 sub +1 like!!
Just finished shadow of the tomb raider...I Reaally enjoyed the game though the story didn't grab me at all. Specially at the end it lost me completely, lots of things are way off story wise but the action sequences kept me atthe edge of my chair. Good job andThanks for the video !
Lara Croft's mother did not die in a flight accident! The plane crashed, and Lara found a portal. Lara accidently activated it and her mother went through it! The portal led to Avalon where her mother died! It happens in the game Tomb Raider Legend!
I'm 10 years late to play the Trilogy and I'm honestly happy with the walkthroughs.🤣 Currently on SOTTR after finishing the Tomb Raider and ROTTR. Bought the bundle on Steam, btw.🥰
I don't get why they had to change her face. Just because voice actors are changed doesn't mean you automatically have to change character faces. I think Kara looks the best in 2013 TR. In Rise and Shadow I think her face is too round.
I don't get why her character model changed so much. In direct comparison, especially in the cutscenes, I like the first one the most (0:05). In Shadow she looks way different and is more chubby... should be the other way around when you think of the aging process.
You missed the comics ! They are canon. I came for those 😭 great video though! I've played the games so much that I basically narrating your video ^^ you blew my mind though with the DLC on Babayagua, the virus, and the manor!
They probably didn't include it because that material really isn't essential to the main games, none of it is ever mentioned. Plus the comics and books present contradictory information anyway.
I'm pretty sure the Blood Ties DLC happens between Lara's expeditions to Syria and Siberia. The clue is when it unlocks the first time you play the game (you can't play it until after the Syria section, and Lara goes back to the manor after her Syria trip and before going to Siberia in the main story).
Not sure whom they hired to write shadow of tomb raider plot, but it was the best in my opinion. The relationship with other NPCs, character development, the facial details captured from acting was great, love it. Side missions had crappy writing though
A little thing I found in the first in this series. In the elevator puzzle about halfway into the game (the point I am currently at) you can find a letter, this letter says something about bringing troops from Trinity meaning that Trinity was involved with yamatai at some point in their history.
I know the developers said otherwise during promotions for Rise, but the games actually take place in the year they were released in, as has always been the case for the series. There's a newspaper dated November 2015 in Rise and some tombstones in one of Shadow's DLC with the year 2018 on them.
Well I for one sure hope we get regular Lara Croft again now that we're caught up to the original timeline. I just wanna do a corkscrew flip over a big angry tiger and shoot it with my dual pistols in high definition. Enough struggling, let's be cool and sassy again.
Hey guys, I hope you are having a great Friday! What was your favorite Tomb Raider game from both the new and old timeline? Let us know in the comments below.
I probs have to say the 2013 one with yamatai that one was ace!!
So she's like a female version of Nathan darke
@@someone-zb8we yes but EVEN better
The Leaderboard u have cute voice
My favourite was honestly rise of the tomb raider, just a lot more enjoyable mechanics and features were in that game, as well as an awesome story and awesome graphics.
I played the trilogy so much I don’t need this video... but I’m a simple guy. I see Lara, I click
Big Daddy Egg I wish
I'm the same. My friends tell me, that I'm like an encyclopedia for Lara Croft.
I’m replaying the first 2 games then gonna start Shadow but my question is what would you say is the best game in the series and why
Samesamesame
Peter Croft
Same here
Played all three of the games. My favorite is Rise of the Tomb Raider.
xxdbass my favorite was shadow
Same😍
My fave was yamatai and the oni
RoTR has weather system and day/night cycle which I sorely miss every time I play Shadow.
Mine is Shadow although I recently played Rise of the Tomb Raider and I had forgotten how nice it was
*Kills one man, cries*
5 minutes later
*kills dozens of men with no hesitation*
well, they always said "you dont forget your first kill"
The 1st kill was canon yes but others " dozen kills " were not all canon =D
Baffles me why people keep saying this when it's not like it's an unheard of precedent. Let's try another example.
Gordon Freeman, MIT graduate goes for his first day at a new job at a research facility.
First experiment goes wrong.
Gordon pops out like he's Rambo all of a sudden.
*no one ever thinks this is in any way strange or unusual*
@@bulletproofblouse lol good point
th-cam.com/video/lrpjOI40IwY/w-d-xo.html
"When you're pushed, killing is as easy as breathing"
You forgot to mention, in the entire first game she did everything with a hole in her belly.
I legit cringed when I got to that part in the game
Without any disinfectant.
In a tank top
after everything she's been through she became immortal
The cultist are even shouting stuff like "She just won't die!"
The apartment in Rise of the TR is Lara's, not her father's. You can see newspapers about the Yamatai incident (that took place years after Richard's death)
Also she was 9 when he died and not a teenager like they said.
I'll never get over how they wrote Sam out after TR2013 (I think there was a comic where she turned evil for no real reason). IMO she had the best dynamic with Lara.
They changed Lara's sidekick to show a different side of her character. That despite being highly intelligent and a total badass, she's still a woman. She gets too emotional at times and Jonah is there to knock some sense into her. I actually love the way Jonah talk to her like she's his bratty little sister. He's the male figure she needs especially after Roth's gone.
Basically, part of Himiko’s soul stuck with Sam, where the two would constantly battle. Eventually, Himiko took over after Sam was institutionalized for rash behavior, where Himiko killed a nurse and escaped. Trinity then tracked her down, but Lara got to her first. Lara then trapped Himiko’s soul in a special mirror (don’t remember the name) and I’m pretty sure Sam died from the whole ordeal.
@@jackschwartz1750 really is this in the omnibus
@@jackschwartz1750 dude no, Lara saved Sam and banished Himiko forever. Sam is still alive and kicking, although is recovering. Lara told Sam's mum to take her somewhere safe. Sam was even mentioned in shadow.
It would off been good to see this in the games
Tomb Raider 2013: There's this lost mysterious kingdom that turns out ruled by an ancient queen who has supernatural power to control the weather in her island.
Rise of The Tomb Raider : There's this ancient artifact that can preserve the lives of living organisms for as long as the artifact isn't destroyed.
Shadow of The Tomb Raider : Kukulkan is real, folks!
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer because Shadow... was created by Eidos Montreal, not Crystal Dynamics. In fact I think Rise was the best one of the trilogy
@@leon_grande nah, in terms of graphics RoTTR maybe the best but the story of TR2013 is def the best in the trilogy for me bro
actually not full story with Kuku. Basically there is power of the mayan god that can control weather and remake the whole world
I never played a tomb raider game before but I must say, I'm impressed by the amount of people in 2013 who sacrificed their lives for Lara
Lara is the strongest, smartest and most courageous female character in the history of gaming
For me it is Aloy
@@RestlessRebel Who is Aloy?
@@Leanzazzy From Horizon Zero Dawn .
I think Samus Aran outdoes her since she's saved planets, killed a few species and other galactic things.
Na Samus was all that and more Lara can be 2nd
That thumbnail shows how much they changed Laras looks between the games, its really weird. She looked the best in the first game.
If memory serves me right there were two versions of Lara depending on which console you played it on. The first version she looked scared and worried while the second version it looks like she had a facelift.
I think she looks the worst in the 3rd one to be honest.

@@georgeofhamilton yeah the 1st one. I played it on PC so I didn't get the Definitive Edition.
@nyko_clau A side effect of the Japanese developers, I thought.

Same here..she can keep the bow and climbing axe but i want her dual pistols back
@@Lorderlands Oh hell NO!
@@Lorderlands please no
The first one was great. Rise had fantastic gameplay, but it left a bit to be desired as far as the story goes, and I didn't particularly care for the redesign of Lara and Jonah. I really hoped shadow would take the story back to a similar style to the first one, but it strayed even farther away than rise did. IDK if they will make another one, but if they do I hope the character design and story go back to the original 2013 style.
My sister loves Tomb Raider she's the the reason why I got interested in the series
Best character model was shadow for sure. I just really hope the actress returns for future games i can't get over her voice she played this trilogy so perfect.
wait how? Rise and Shadow look awful, they flattened all her feminine features and made her look plain,
2013 Reboot got it right and Definitive Edition got it even BETTER, actually looking like a next gen Lara Croft from the Legends trilogy.
If they are going to link this trilogy with the Legends one, idk what they're gonna do, they're gonna have to update these older games with a new look(the 2013 DE look) and then stick to it to for the newer games. Cause a lot of us were teens growing up playing Tomb Raider Legend/Anniversary/Underworld and the last thing we want is to see our memories of our video game crush, be stepped and pissed on as they turn her into a...idkwtf.
@@BringDHouseDownFacts.
BRo WHAT, Rise Lara is literally beautiful! Shadow looks kinda weird, 2013 isnt bad but Rise is great too a acutally like Rise looks of Lara more like how she can be bad? There@@BringDHouseDown
features are rly nice in Rise and details unlike Shadow, like bro sorry but you played blimd folded?@@BringDHouseDown
Actually Trinity was mentioned in the 2013 game. It was mentioned in 2 documents after finding all the GPSs
It was also mentioned like 25-30% of the way through the main when the first rescue plane came to yamatai. It was a trinity plane.
@@le1660 oh wow I didn't notice!
My favorite was Rise. The historical inaccuracy in Shadow got my gears turning lol
All of the Tomb Raider fans here should really try the reboot comics. Trust met they are worth it and complete the story. Especially if u love Lara's character.
i only played the third one, but this is a pretty good trilogy! wish there was more games like this
I love this game. All of them but they feel so similar to each other, i just count them as 1
On the other hand, I feel that Rise and Shadow of the Tomb Raider don't even belong in the same series as the first one. They might have similar mechanics, but the characters' appearances, the genres, the themes, and the styles are all different.
Not to be an asshole here, but only the 2013 game was down-to-earth and it had actual character development.
yes. im two years late to this but yeah
Lol all three games were pretty bad ass .
Square Enix please release another Tomb Raider trilogy soon 😢
What about the story in the comics? The one that is not in the games like how the yamatai incident almost breaks lara and sams friendship etc
This is kinda crazy I just started playing through these games on my stream and I’ve been enjoying them so much. Kinda cool this video was made at this time.
You have forgot the Undead Nightmare for "Rise of Tomb Raider"
I loved all three, i really hope that they will continue to make new tomb raider games in the near future
I freaking love this trilogy. I can't wait fornthe new games to come out .
There won't be any new games,they are making an anime series of lara croft for netflix
The first TR reboot game is amazing. If anyone hasn't played it yet I can only recommend it, but be warned the controls are a little clunky. The story is *really* good. I have completed it on PC and Xbone.
“Lera Croft” yes nice one Leaderboard
If they ever decide to make another Tomb Raider with this storyline, they should develop her character into the likeness of the original. And they should bring back other characters like Sam.
i played all three tomb raider games i love them
😂only 3??
You know there's more than 10 Tomb Raider titles, not just 3, right?
Loved the first one but Rise and Shadow are extremely forgettable. I’m still puzzled as to what they were thinking when they got rid of Sam who had the best chemistry with Lara and replaced her with Jonah who was barely in it.
Really really well made! But I kinda miss the Dlcs in part 3 like you did for part 2
Love the Tomb Raider reboot games
Same here I feel like there is so much they did good I just make a video talking about how the cutscenes on TR2013 showed group conflict I hope you check it out
Thumbs up if you would like the old Lara from the late 90’s and early 2000’s to make a comeback! I truly miss sassy Lara!
I can't wait till the next game comes out!
Awesome video, i really like the story of Lara Croft
I just played the games for the first time last week and I loved them, I’ve never been a gamer and these are actually the very first games I’ve ever played, other than Mario when I was a kid. I powered through the first two games super fast, took me like a week to complete both. Now I’m trying to enjoy SOTTR more, I’m trying to stop and explore more, to really take in the game and it’s surroundings. The jungle in Peru is gorgeous, my favourite world so far in the trilogy.
You showed so many things that I've never found..Like the zombies..When I play again I will get there! Thank you for the information!! +1 sub +1 like!!
Just finished shadow of the tomb raider...I Reaally enjoyed the game though the story didn't grab me at all. Specially at the end it lost me completely, lots of things are way off story wise but the action sequences kept me atthe edge of my chair. Good job andThanks for the video !
I was hoping this would include the book and the other comics
imo, Lara Croft is the most gorgeous game character
Go on, call me a simp
For Lara Croft, you get a pass, I agree 100%
I agree and I’m a girl.
i've been waiting for this video for so long!!
Lara Croft's mother did not die in a flight accident! The plane crashed, and Lara found a portal. Lara accidently activated it and her mother went through it! The portal led to Avalon where her mother died! It happens in the game Tomb Raider Legend!
Hopefully they reveal something at e3! BTW, TR2 March 19, 2021
My all time favourite videogame series.
I love both versions of tomb raider the old and the new
Same. 😊👍
I really need to replay this iconic trilogy
I just really do hope that the Lara after Shadow goes into the Lara we are familiar with from the classic games~
Doubt it.
Seyoiph probable wont happen but would be cool
Shame. The new "realistic" Lara is so whiny...
I hope not. I like this version of Lara better. I’m excited to see where they go next with her!
I'm 10 years late to play the Trilogy and I'm honestly happy with the walkthroughs.🤣
Currently on SOTTR after finishing the Tomb Raider and ROTTR. Bought the bundle on Steam, btw.🥰
I don't get why they had to change her face. Just because voice actors are changed doesn't mean you automatically have to change character faces. I think Kara looks the best in 2013 TR. In Rise and Shadow I think her face is too round.
Maybe she ate too much
It was literally the same voice actor for all three tho
Feminism, make Lara more relatable, Anita Sarkeesian. They changed her whole appearance😪 rebooted version doesn't even look like Lara Croft herself
I love the reboot. Really hope we get moooore!!!!!!
I'm gonna say it. Rise of the Tomb Raider is the best one of this trilogy.
In my opinion :
Tomb raider 2013 - looks
Rottr - story
Sottr - Gameplay
All we're enjoyable :)
Played only "Rise" and "Shadows", I must say I loved playing them
I want to see nathan drake and lara croft in the same game, they have so much in common.
Lara Croft and Nathan Drake : An Uncharted World.
I underestimated this game. Not a single dull moment while playing the game
I don't get why her character model changed so much. In direct comparison, especially in the cutscenes, I like the first one the most (0:05). In Shadow she looks way different and is more chubby... should be the other way around when you think of the aging process.
You missed the comics ! They are canon. I came for those 😭 great video though! I've played the games so much that I basically narrating your video ^^ you blew my mind though with the DLC on Babayagua, the virus, and the manor!
I love this! Thanks for putting it all together!
I have completed 2013 and Rise of the TR.. both are really close to my heart
You missed the entirety of the comics. One set just before TR 2013, one set after TR 2013 and one set after ROTTR. Alot happens in-between each game.
What happened to Sam?
They probably didn't include it because that material really isn't essential to the main games, none of it is ever mentioned. Plus the comics and books present contradictory information anyway.
@@devilgames2217 Late but I heard she is in a mental hospital because part of Himiko is still in her (?)
I'm pretty sure the Blood Ties DLC happens between Lara's expeditions to Syria and Siberia. The clue is when it unlocks the first time you play the game (you can't play it until after the Syria section, and Lara goes back to the manor after her Syria trip and before going to Siberia in the main story).
Tomb Raider plot: Naive college girl to a seasoned serial killer
Not sure whom they hired to write shadow of tomb raider plot, but it was the best in my opinion. The relationship with other NPCs, character development, the facial details captured from acting was great, love it.
Side missions had crappy writing though
I still dont get why jonah became her travel buddy? what happened to HER BEST FRIENDDD SAM???? lol. like wut? lol.
Can't wait what's in store for the 4th game !!!
The 2013 game is just sooo good, even after 11 years
A little thing I found in the first in this series. In the elevator puzzle about halfway into the game (the point I am currently at) you can find a letter, this letter says something about bringing troops from Trinity meaning that Trinity was involved with yamatai at some point in their history.
I prefer her face design in the first game
Thank you!! What an amazing collection and edit you have created!
I know the developers said otherwise during promotions for Rise, but the games actually take place in the year they were released in, as has always been the case for the series.
There's a newspaper dated November 2015 in Rise and some tombstones in one of Shadow's DLC with the year 2018 on them.
Well I for one sure hope we get regular Lara Croft again now that we're caught up to the original timeline. I just wanna do a corkscrew flip over a big angry tiger and shoot it with my dual pistols in high definition. Enough struggling, let's be cool and sassy again.
YESSS It's time to bring Lara croft back!
