Giant breasts divert bloodflow from the brain.

>>6250679
they were just hallucinations in her mind

>>6250679
what's there to report about, it's common knowledge

>>6250679
Would you tell anyone that you just killed the last remaining individuals of an extinct species?

>>6250679
Dinosaurs aren't extinct in the Tomb Raider universe, they also appeared in 2 and 3.

>>6250679
maybe its the same universe as Jurassic park and they just there by the black-market

She's been addicted to dino-cock since 1996

>>6250679

Are you projecting again OP?

>>6250679
She doesn't want to attract attention.

>>6250679

Also, that game opens with her being already "famous" for shooting Big Foot

What she exactly gains by reporting anything to anyone, anyway?

All the creatures in TR1 are Atlantis creations. It's why they're still alive and hanging out in tombs, coliseums, etc.
Dinosaurs in TR2 are just a secret reference throwback to TR1, and TR3 in general is just indefensibly stupid.

>>6250881
Credit, acknowledgment, (more) wealth, (more) fame, all kinds of shit which is why she's an adventurer in the first place.

>>6250896
>Credit, acknowledgment, (more) wealth, (more) fame
>which is why she's an adventurer in the first place
Guess the whole “I'm sorry I only play for sport" is somehow too vague to some people.

I want to fuck her armpits and then lick them

>>6250679
either fujimori or the shining path would just kill them

Because she doesn't want the world governments to come in and level Peru; destroying relics and remnants of an old civilization in search of dinosaurs.

>>6250713
Sounds like a duke quote

>>6251245
She's got boobs of steel!

>>6250890
>All the creatures in TR1 are Atlantis creations.

Lol no they're not.

>>6250679
Lara Croft confirmed for Christian trad thot. They're still finding dinosaur bones with red blood cells in them, only mongoloids who buy into the evolution religion don't think dinosaurs and man have existed at the same time.

>>6251287
That's because birds are warm blooded you uneducated hillbilly.

>>6251295
I seriously hope you don't think dinosaurs evolved into birds.

>>6251303
I seriously hope you don't understand that. If you're not trolling and are legitimately this backwater you really shouldn't be allowed to use a computer. That you reap the benefits of scientific knowledge that you then spit in the face of and claim are false disgusts me.

>>6251315
Evolution didn't create a computer, retard.

>>6251315
Don't argue with creationists, they don't understand logic, reason, or science.

>>6251345
>you don't believe T-Rex became a chicken because of natural s-e-l-e-c-t-i-o-n?????
>YOU SHOULDN'T USE COMPUTERS!!!!!
This is logical, reasonable, and scientific to you?

>>6251323
It created the brains that created computers, Jimmy.

>>6251359
Evolution didn't create anything. Barring that nonsense though, why would you trust a brain that is the result of random mutations?

>>6251323
Way to miss the point, Cleetus.

>>6251345
I know, it's painful.

>>6251354
If you actually understood the scientific process and the interconnected nature of things the example would make sense. As is there's no point in trying to start explaining it to you. But yes, the same science that lets us understand the age of the world and universe is the one that's relied upon to run the phone You're now reading this on. Enjoy your ignorance, I hope it at least brings you comfort lol.

>>6250890
Imagine being this much of a retarded fucking dipshit.

>>6250890
The dinosaurs in TR3 are the most defensible of all, since they're on some random island in the South Pacific that's never been explored. Only way you can call it stupid is by saying "BUT DINOSAURS ARE EXTINCT!"

So were they in Tomb Raider 1 even before Atlantis existed, but you stupidly try to use them as an explanation for existing anyway, retard (which makes zero sense and is 100% not the answer anyway, the answer is because it's a video game and it was cool).

>>6251382
There is zero evidence that T-Rex's evolved into chickens you braindead schizo fuck. T-Rex went extinct long before Chickens ever came into existence.

>>6251359
you wouldn’t say evolution created calculus or algebra, would you?

>>6251295
>mmmmng well achtuwally
Don't care what mental gymnastics you do to justify your hormone therapy or whatever other gay shit you're into, I'm here to talk about retro video games, fuck off back to /leftypol/.

>>6251402
>that's never been explored
except by the natives, the Beagle sailors, the smugglers...
Dinosaurs are extinct. Any not killed off by the extinction event sure as sugar haven't survived and flourished into modern times.
The ones in Peru outside the Atlantean temple were obviously created after the original dinosaurs went extinct. There is no other explanation for dinosaurs being there.

>>6251303

>>6251510
It was called the "lost valley" for a reason, retard.

>Lost Valley is the third level of Tomb Raider. In it, Lara Croft continues her search for the Scion, and she discovers a valley that time left behind...

Literally a forgotten time where Dinosaurs still exist, although it was implied to be much bigger than it originally was.

Absolutely zero lore associated with atlanteans.

>>6251453
> hard science is leftypol
Ohh Murrica!

>>6251237
She literally blew up Atlantis for a trinket.

>>6251415
Algebra is just normal math with the empty space in a different slot.

>>6250679
This isn't complicated. If she reported they were THERE, people would GO.

>>6251569
>assuming he's american

Obsessed

>>6251612
Most people who are that backwards over basic science end up being American. It's simply a good guess. Was I wrong?

I'm sure she wrote about all of her adventures and they mentioned that a lot of people didn't believe her.

>>6250679
Man, Angelina Jolie really was the perfect casting.

>>6251617
Well first off you called it "hard science" when it isn't hard science, and secondly, has your country been to the moon?

>>6251617
>Still crying about America

It's like he hears you, but still misses the point.

>>6251647
Has your country tried to achieve just about ANYTHING without first importing foreign scientists? Or you know, building rockets without Nazi scientists and Soviet defectors, for example.
Now fuck off from TR thread to whatever place you crawled from

Same applies to all of you, faggots. This is /vr/. If you somehow took a wrong turn to your actual board, get the fuck out and keep moving in the correct direction. If you don't plan to talk TR, the fuck you are doing in TR thread

>>6251628
Depends on continuity. She's disbelieved only in nu-Raider. In Core games, she's a fucking celebrity, all while considered credible due to, you know, having physical proofs. In LAU it's more complicated, since she's essentially minding her own business for that whole continuum. Still, has credit to her name.
Also, fun fact - Lara isn't a trained archeologist in Core games.

>>6251662
>Has your country tried to achieve just about ANYTHING without first importing foreign scientists? Or you know, building rockets without Nazi scientists and Soviet defectors, for example.

America is a country of foreigner's. You really are a dumb fucking retard, holy shit. Ohhh, europoors.

>>6251647
Birds being warm blooded is hard science, Cleetus. And that your country has been to the moon and members if your populace are as uneducated as you is exactly what I'm mocking. It's pathetic and depressing how far your country has fallen.

>>6251662
Who are you to tell anyone to "fuck off" to anywhere? Go fuck yourself you faggot ass piece of shit, and YOU fuck off, along with your retarded /pol/ schizo-posting.

>>6251720

Cool, that's not what the discussion was about, Jamie the Cuck.

>>6251662
>mention that his country has never been to the moon
>instantly explodes into a cacophony of "FUCK YOU, GET OUT, REEEEE"

Top quality thread about games. Very much on topic and so much Tomb Raider related

>>6250713
Personal experience says this is true

>>6251801
Evolution is also hard science if that's what you're on about, but pointing out birds is what triggered the hillbilly in the first place.

>>6250679
In the 90s I thought by now we would have video games with moving graphics that look like that pic.

>>6251869
As an American who knows evolution is scientific fact, I humbly request you don't lump us all into the same category as that knuckle dragging ignoramus known as "Cleetus".

>>6250679
>Finds this guy in Tibet
>Doesn’t tell anybody
Really?

>>6251887
Ohh I don't. I know many of you hold on to the value of knowledge. But it seems almost any time there's someone that glaringly ignorant of the scientific process, they're probably a Christan from rural America somewhere.

>>6251882
They exist, just only in super cel-shaded games

>>6251891
>Christan
Can we just specify to "Protestant"? Neither Catholics nor Orthodox have those kind of issues.

>>6250679
No one would believe her and she made those dinosaurs extinct, so it wouldn't make sense for her to report it because she would go to prison for making dinosaurs extinct.

>>6251902
In other words they don't exist

>>6250713
Only from the male brain

>>6251665
>She's disbelieved only in nu-Raider.
NuRaider also isn't TR and that thing isn't Lara Croft

>>6252890
This, too boring, and her titties aren't huge enough.

>>6252881
Amen.

I miss old Lara, she was confident, quick, and adventurous and had great polygonal t&a. NuLara is a whiny cunt who's constantly panting, doubts her own actions in every situation, hates tombs, and just looks like a walking L.L. Bean catalog.

>>6251665
I don't think there is such a thing as an archeology school. Archeologists are usually just people with history and related science degrees. Sure, you can get an archeology degree, but it's a curriculum of arts, science, and history, it's essentially a slightly beefed up liberal arts degree.

>>6253367
I should also add, she was a pupil of Von Croy, so at bare minimum, she was studying history and artifacts from antiquities.

>>6250754
yeah she'd be sued to no end

>>6253409
By whom? Nobody could claim damages because they don't own the dinosaurs, and dinosaurs aren't listed as an endangered species so there are no laws regarding hunting them.

>>6250679
Imagine actually liking/playing these clunky pieces of shit.
Also Lara is an ugly mutt with nigger eyes and lips.

>>6250679
She's the "Tomb Raider" as in she illegally raids the cultural heritage of various countries. All her activities are secrets because she explicitly steals national artefacts as her job. She's pretty anti-hero, dunno why they diverted from this.

Is this series good?

>>6254682
Not really. The only reason TR games got any attention is because of cumbrains and feminists.

>report dinosaurs
>get laughed at
>be thrown in psych ward
>get out years later
>can't function anymore due to the daily medications, isolation and severe depression at the psych ward
>can't find any work as a treasure hunter due to being labeled mental unstable
>rely on NEETbux and sit around all day in a shitty apartment watching tv and browsing the internet

she did the right thing keeping the dinosaurs a secret from society.

>>6253367
>I don't think there is such a thing as an archeology school
Anon, are you by chance retarded? Especially considering the rest of your post.
And if not, then there is something terribly, terribly wrong with education system in your country, whichever it could be, if you can't wrap your head around the concept that yep, there are archeology deparments, usually as a sub-division of larger history unit (but sometimes it's on ethnography instead, for just as valid reasons) and it - amazingly - deals with archeology in practical terms, such as research and study, field digs and analysis of the material, along with reconstructions in a back lab. Sounds all grand, but in practical terms that's usually 2-5 professors and their entourage, crammed into some basement that consists of 2-4 rooms and half of it is for storage of old pottery pieces.
Still, it's a thing.

>>6254716
... but she didn't hide them. Quite the contrary.
She also ordered to ship the carcasses back. Some of them even visited a taxidermist for her private hunting trophy collection.
It never cease to amaze me how people consider TR to be this serious franchise about serious stuff, rather than being pulp adventure that just happens to be set in modern times rather than the 30s.

>>6254706
Imbecile spotted
Go back to hell with your buzzwords.

>>6255081
Is as serious as it needs to be.
Doesn't need to have a serious tone to be a serious franchise.
Just look at now. The shit that tries to pass for TR these dayse tries to be superserious and dramatic, but it's just an unfun joke.

>>6250679
I went to Perú last year.

Can confirm dinosaurs are everywhere. They're usually small and furry and resemble potatoes, but I have it on good word they are the real deal.

>>6255091
Which is kinda my point - she would end up laughed at in the new ones, because "this is a serious game about serious stuff, no dinosaurs allowed, that's just silly and why they would even exist in the first place". While in Core games you had them, because why fucking not And also, they've been made by Brits, so chances are they at least heard about the Doyle's "The Lost World" and decided to go with it, because fucking adventure stuff

>>6250679
>Was it autism?
no, it was ayahuasca

>>6254682
Yes.

>>6254682
OG series is great.
2nd series is good, but flawed

Agree'd. They're always less informed than the sciences they try to emulate like geology, history, and anthropology.

>>6255127

Almost positive that the T-Rex in Tomb Raider was because of Jurassic Park, not The Lost World by Conan Doyle. On a more personal level, The Land That Time Forgot is a hundred times better.

>>6258541
I'm not questioning that it was put due to JP
But recall where the plateau was located in the book.

>>6255080
You just went on to admit there's no archeology school, just archeology degrees. At some point, were you going to actually make a point or just call someone a retard and then end up making their point?

>>6258816
South America, yea, but the Lost World genre takes place on every continent, even Europe.

I will say that it's still definitely plausible some of the team were influenced by Doyle, but the popularity of Jurassic Park in the 90's was literally inescapable. Jurassic Park was almost the first film to pass the 1 billion dollar mark when it originally released.

>>6252881
Fucking this.

>>6258502
Easy on the whiskey, boomer.

>>6258824
You're both acting like asses but the original comment was that she wasn't a trained archeologist in the original game. Why you went on a weird tangent about how archeology courses in universities instead of a separate school that only teaches archeology is nonsensical.

>>6258824
What the other anon said - she's not a trained archeologist at all, that's all. That means she doesn't even have a basic History degree. In fact, her degree is the classic Mickey Mouse, since, duh, she's a rich heiress of a noble house. So she has absolutely no basis whatsoever to doing anything else than being - as the title implies - grave robber and trespasser for her own amusement, without even having a sliver of "proper" training or knowledge in that regard.
Meanwhile, have you tried not having autism?

>>6259812
You have no idea

>>6254716
>find any work as a treasure hunter
Isn't that, like, what makes you a treasure hunter?
Isn't the whole gig 'finding work'?
It's not like they apply online...

>>6259884
She IS trained, she was trained by renowned archeologist Werner Von Croy himself. Add to that her exploits in all the games, she practically wrote the book on archeologyitioning.

>>6260439
She's not an archeologist. Historian, maybe, archeologist? Absolutely not.

>>6250679
If I recall, she had the head of the T-Rex mounted in her trophy room in the sequels.

>>6260439
>t. lorelet
Besides, being on a single stint as a teen, where your daddy paid for a guy to take you into a see-sighting tour isn't "training"

>>6262143
Lara's exploits are credentials enough. Keep telling yourself your 15th century lesbian pottery dance theory degree is worth something; cleanup on aisle three while you're day dreaming.
