You guys talking about the scene when laura is handcuffed and the evil guy puts a hand on her hip?

Yup, when I saw it, I was like "people are outraged over that?"

I'd be more outraged at the fact that you can constantly hear her breathing throughout the entire trailer.

I can't BELIEVE they never improved on this game, after all this time. Not even close

They need to do this game justice, one of my favorite games of all time. I went to Jamaica one year, and my brother traded in all my xbox stuff for some new ish. This game is the only one a truly missed. If they ever brought it over to download for 360... ... Day 0.

It's an attempted rape scene because the producer intended it as an attempted rape scene, because it's part of breaking Lara down and making her "a cornered animal." In his own words, he said she's "almost raped."

Acting like it's not attempted rape is ridiculous. It is. Period.

Jeff and some other guy on the giantbombcast tried to defend it, "same noises Nathan Drake would make, same ish Drake goes through." something like that.

I was like really? Drake would have to get his balls grabbed by an exceptionally cold hand for him to get on Croft's level.

That's some poor logic sir, also game designers can do poor jobs of conveying what they want.

Just because they say it is doesn't mean the devs can do an absolute piss poor job at actually making it look like one. Because it doesn't. he literally only puts his hand on her hip and gets killed. I doubt many would think of it as the devs intended it if they saw the trailer with no background information.

A producer can intend for something, but absolutely fail at its execution. See Peter Molyneux. See AI. See the Butterfly Effect. In fact see any terrible movie of the last 60 years.

This is why I have a hard time taking gamers seriously. They over react to damn near everything.If I was a billionaire I would pay Ubi to add a line of dialogue after the scene where Lara says Japanese games are lame.

No offense, dude, but did you even watch the video?

1:20 in he pushes her up against a tree, starts speaking softly and caressing her neck. She tries to run, he slams her up against the tree again before one of her friends makes a break for it. Then when he catches her again he shoves her up against the wall, slides his hand all the way down from her shoulder down her side, then she kicks him and tries to run. He grabs her, slams her back up against the wall with his hand on her side next to her breast, presses up against her, fuckin grunts and sniffs her. The fuck do you think he's doing, giving her a TSA screening?

Yup, and what you just presented is a very poorly done 'attempted rape' scene. If that's what you consider to be a well executed attempted rape scene I shiver to think what you consider an attempted rape scene to be in movies or TV shows. Because they sure as hell don't look as shitty as that.

A Tomb Raider shouldn't even be trying to deal with rape anyway. Especially if it was just going to be some throwaway scene for cheap drama.

I didn't think that there was such a large furry community on neogaf that there would be a 52 page about it. Amazing.

Found out I am going bald. Time to go shaved head 24/7, or rock the George Jefferson/James Evans.

What you mean by you found out? Is it like you see obvious thinning or did you go to a doctor and they said you'd be bald in the near future? In any case a lot of us can pull the bald look off pretty well.

my hairline has receded a little bit, no thinning to speak of though. I do dread the idea of my shit looking like Lebrons one day.

If your mothers father is bald it's highly likely you will be as well. I know I will be :(

There are more subtle ways of doing it too. Sometimes the psychological type is worse.

Also, http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/09/how-racist-are-we-ask-google/

There's a thread in the OT, where I commented and left. I expect the usual suspects to start appearing within a page or so.
