So are you saying that Bayonetta is a better depiction of women in video games because she is flirting and toying with every guy she meets? Constantly striking sexy poses??!!? Because such character depiction was lambasted for that.
I can not speak to Bayonetta, I know less about it then I do Tomb Raider. All I can say about Bayonetta is, man do I have a lot of female friends who sit all over the place on the sexual identity spectrum who love the shit out of that game.
There does come a point when I am unable to talk about Tomb Raider the game, I have only played the very first one and the newest one. (loved the newest one found the first one almost unplayable) So yes, I will gladly admit my own ignorance towards the character as she exists with in the archetype of her own games... cause I really dont know shit about shit. I should have been more clear, I am talking about Lara Croft the pop culture icon, who had at one point, grown far beyond the scope of her games.
But you must know OF Bayonetta. From the little you've seen of that, is that preferable? If not then what balance is there?
I'm not going to ask you for someone else's opinion.
You can't cop out of this, when you spoke so much about Tomb Raider series.
Let me guess, when you played the first one from 1996... did you read the manual? The manual that NO ONE read.
Yeah, you press jump THEN the direction to determine the direction. To do a running jump you must step at least one block back and press forward THEN jump, and you have to press jump BEFORE you get to the edge. That's why most people can't play it, they didn't read the manual. And also why even those who played the first Tomb Raider don't know her back story, which is explained in the manual.
I am talking about Lara Croft the pop culture icon
Well that's as irrelevant to this topic.
We're all talking about the games. I guess Lara Croft is an example of how games are better off remaining obscure and unknown, as what little the print media does find out about her will misrepresent it for sensationalism.
