omfg you whiny babies she LITERALLY looks like classic Lara.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago (1 children)

G@mers always insist on the exact same full face makeup on everything

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Obviously Lara has a professional stylist following her around the tombs to make sure her brows are on point.

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can't go dungeon diving in ancient magical lost tombs without lips that look like you licked a hornet's nest.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

Besides the og Lara was supposed to be either Indian or South American as a bounty hunter, but cowards made her an upper-crust bougie B*itish instead. Oh well, I'll still keep playing that garbage.

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

them tits have more than two polygons, so no, she's not my laura

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

Miss her Madonna look.

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Her face is no where near weird enough. The first Crystal Dynamics reboot trilogy (by which I mean the one before the 2013 reboot) tried to keep Lara consistent with promotional CGI renders for the PS1 games. Unfortunately those were made in the mid 90s and she looked like a bizarre putty version of Angelina Jolie

Noooo why is she not wearing heaps of makeup for her tomb raids!!!!!

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago

Covering myself in foundation to cool my body and become invisible to thermal goggles like that one scene in The Predator.

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 46 points 2 years ago

These are the same people that go around calling people SJWs and snowflakesdata-laughing

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 42 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

"really unremarkable" my fucking ass, she looks great in the first one and like some futuristic sex bot gone on a rogue killing spree from a shitty sci fi horror film in the second

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Only gamers can see a woman that looks like a supermodel and say she isn't 'femme' enough and is unremarkable.

Motherfuckers need to go outside and look at actual living human women.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

They tried that and the women requested they stop

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

I miss your old avatar pic already owl-pissed

Yet by saying that here it'd seem like I was pining for your ChapoTrapHouse version or something. meemaw

[–] Magician@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago

Are these the same people who hate it when women take off their makeup after complaining about fake women?

I know the realism is just a fig leaf to enforce bullshit standards on female character depictions, but I'd love for a little consistency.

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Lower poly characters would allow for larger and more detailed worlds.

*runs away* Until next time!

But I've only half-measured it I need more time

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago

Look at that huge throbbing magazine

[–] Judge_Jury@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

This cartoon person's makeup has changed and she's put on some kind of necklace. I am outraged

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago

her bra is too big on the right. the cup is collapsing.

[–] daquackeryspreads@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Fire hans lol.

BTW, how come there isn't a gamingcirclejerk community here?

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Excuse me, this is a board exclusive to very serious gamer discussions.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hexbear doesn't need circlejerk comms because every comm is it's own circlejerk comm.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Y'all wouldn't be able to handle transgendercirclejerk, goes too hard

They shrank her shoulders. Made her look soft

[–] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

Fucking gamers

[–] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was all excited thinking I’d missed an announcement for a new Tomb Raider but not they’re just putting her in fucking call of duty

[–] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

they’re just putting her in fucking call of duty

why

i thought lara croft's more of an ~~indiana jones-esque~~ archeologist+adventurer, not a fucking battle-hardened military soldier

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

all video games are asymptotically approaching Fortnite

[–] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago

but-but i thought capitalism breeded innovation!!! this is madness!!!

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

Also, I would have some comic book guy realisation that I had totally wasted my life if I was suddenly getting upset over a reboot of a game that came out almost three decades ago. Like, it really does not fucking matter at all...

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

unremarkable

Uh, I would die if someone like that said something to me

[–] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Actually, by all means, they have my full blessing to lewd Lara Croft.

At least they're going awooga over an adult.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

It's a small blessing, yeah. At this point I'm just saying :IllAllowIt: compared to reactionaries wanting to drool over children.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

Them: sees conventionally attractive femme person "She's so unremarkable!"

Have any of these people ever seen actual people?

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

putting the words "femme" and quite possibly "butch" on the high shelf until twitter users can learn to behave

[–] mittens@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

lara croft should be yassified at all times

[–] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

these people don't even know what a woman looks like

[–] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

i'm more interested in another tomb raider game akin to the classics - lighthearted/wacky tomb raiding adventures ~~a la indiana jones~~ than overly serious and overly dark shit

lara can look however she wants

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right? Tomb Raider is a game about doing standing 20 foot flips while blazing away at endangered species with twin pistols that never need to be reloaded, not gritty wilderness survival!

This is the most reddit-logofreeze-gamer way you to say "I only think women are effeminate if they wear makeup and have anime tits" I've ever seen.

Uses r/gamingcirclejerk but doesn't realise the humor is about him.

[–] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Wimmin need to be in a full face of makeup before they go on action-adventures 😡😤
