This is how Tomb Raider won most gamers over back in the days

DSOGaming writes: "When we’ re not posting news or playing games, we here at DSOG love reading magazines. And this article was inspired by a ‘naughty’ Tomb Raider shot that was featured in the official GamePro magazine. Back in 1997, Internet was not as widespread as it is today. Back then, we were waiting, anxiously, for the next issue of GamePro, Games, PC Zone or PC Gamer. Back then, mods were not as popular as they are today. Back then, we were so ‘innocent’ and – believe it or not - didn’t think there would be any sexy female in-game character, able to ‘excite’ us. Imagine now our surprise when the following nude shot of Tomb Raider was featured in GamePro."

XD I remember that the original tomb raiders boobs on PS1 was actually a misclick, they ended up 150% bigger than they originally were meant to be Haha.

The Best Tomb Raider Games Ranked

We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.

I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂

Pyrofire9560d ago

Would it be worth saying why?

ZeekQuattro60d ago

Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

Zeek

“Hating”

No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies

But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.

MeatyUrologist59d ago

Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.

I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?

RavenWolfx60d ago

I would agree Rise for 1 and the reboot as 2. Shadow is a bit high, though.

Sonic188160d ago (Edited 60d ago )

I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy

Pyrofire9560d ago

That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)

MeatyUrologist60d ago

Agrees. First two are correct but Shadow should be around 5-6.

terstomp60d ago

For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.

jznrpg60d ago

I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.

robtion60d ago

Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
