Why do people call her Laura? Are they that inept at comprehension of a four letter name?

That isn't her name. Never was. It is and always has been Lara.
>>
>>321195703
I haven't posted itt yet, but my phone has auto-corrected to Laura in the past and I don't usually notice until after it happened.

So that might have something to do with it.

She was originally meant to be called Laura, but it was changed to Lara for American audiences, who apparently had issues pronouncing the name how the devs liked or something retarded like that.

I like the level design of the first like 4 games, even if the controls are pure shit. But after those games, they just made too many attempts to "revamp" the series, change the gameplay, and now we have a game that's almost nothing like the first one. Instead of jumping and climbing to reach difficult areas of the level, you get "Press X to not die here" kind of shit, and I would honestly rather deal with the bad controls and triangle tits for the sake of better level design and gameplay overall

they look the exact same, and they were massive in the reboot anyway

Only the first game had triangle tits, the tits probably had as many polys as the rest of the model in TR2, they really knew how to prioritize things

This change happened, because the playerbase changed. The majority of games are no longer played by people who want challenges, they're played by people who have pretty much eventless, boring lives and want to feel badass, but they don't want to work for it.

The original script was for a latina chick called Laura Cruz. It didn't sit well with murricans, so they changed it to Lara Croft.

Dude. Dinosaurs, Fleshmonsters, Centaurs, Mummies, fucking ancient demi-goddess, a shadow-creature, an evil doppelganger, the Norse underworld - and that's just what I remembered from the Legend Trilogy. She used to go to way crazier places in 1-5. Bottom of the fucking ocean for example
