The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

Totally unnecessary.

Why? You have a strong female character that some female gamers like to play to feel EMPOWERED. Why would you do that? It is a game...it doesn't need to bring in real life stuff in that way....not THIS game...

There is so much ugly in the world. I don't know why we keep manufacturing it for the things we're supposed to use to escape it.
Renowned Death Hag
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there already rape in Grand Theft Auto?
Renowned Death Hag
I don't think so. Unless you are referring to when you pick up a prostitute; kill her and take your money back?
Abandon all hope.

Gawdalmighty! Someone needs to slap these game creators upside the head.

The developers are now denying it is a "rape" or "attempted rape" sequence:

Nothing like a bit of publicity to stir up interest, eh? I shoulda known.

I wouldn't know, I'm not a gamer. I just happened to see this post and I was disgusted by it. So I posted what I had to say. Game or movies we need to get rid of the nasty crap of everyday life. Kids are in trouble enough without being further influenced.

I like how the original linked title states in no uncertain terms that she "will be a rape victim". No if ands or buts. But with a little research you find that to be totally untrue and yet the bashing begins. Read for yourself and look at the video in question.

ok, the scene is not as bad as the media or reports is making it out but still it wasn't needed in the game either way.

This game has a theme that only people familiar with this particular game series would understand. If you have ever played Tomb Raider, all you know Lara Croft to be is a bad ass. This game is intended to show the player how she got there. In that context, the scene makes perfect sense.
Senior Death Hag
I agree. I love the Tomb raider and play them constantly...what I meant was I feel like the interview said "protective" of her and that was my immediate reaction to it but for about 5 seconds the scene tended to be a little much just for me personally bc she is a badass and I didn't like seeing her in that vulnerable moment but I totally get ya..

I just saw the video and I agree. It fits into the context of the later stories of why she is the way she is. You can see how terrified she is in this video. Not something you see in later games.

It doe's fit into how Lara became the Lara Croft we know. I'm looking forward to this game and it'll be a pre-order for me. I watched the E3 coverage of it and laughed when in one part you hear Lara say I hate tombs lol. It's basically her back story.

I see...can't wait to play it, when does it come out?

Renowned Death Hag
I read a little more about the game. It really is about her transformation. You'll start out as this timid young lady caught up in some horrific situation and fearful at every turn. Then as you face each evolving situation, you'll gain experience to help you cope and eventually build your charecter into what she has become. Be cool to play this and then some of the others again.
