  Call of Duty is now Fortnite.

  I’ll give them credit, they took a hard crack at mashing up the classic styling of Lara and the modern realistic version of her to produce a novel-looking character who I do not recognize at all.

  All I can say is - I dont give a shit, but thank god they used her proper, actual design rather than the redesign bollocks.

  I’ll likely never play COD again but that’s the best Lara Croft has looked in years. Makes me want a true modern sequel to the originals.

    There’s too many polygons for this to be her actual design.

  Call of Duty is a absolute joke. I don’t know why people waste money on this trash.

  Kids grew up playing Roblox and now they’ve ruined gaming as a whole because they buy every stupid little thing with mommy’s credit card because they got used to spending robux on everything

  Sorry this is an angry and over generalized comment but I’m just disappointed that we get like one good game a year. This year was BG3, last year was elden ring, year before God of War.

  I will take the PS3/360 era of gaming where we were still in the modern era but every game didn’t try to nickel and dime you to death. Even the PS2 era that I grew up with was better than this.

      You are incredibly right. Call of Duty is a bad example to point to the gaming industry as a whole. I’m just am frustrated because it used to be good.

    We def get plenty of good games in a year. But everyone wants to give their money to big AAA devs when the good games are made by small teams.

    This year we got (in the spotlight):

    Baldurs Gate 3, LoZ: Tears of the Kingdom, Resident Evil 4, and Pikmin 4.

    And in the background we got: Turbo Overkill, Have a Nice Death, Pizza Tower, just to name a few.

    Maybe take a break from gaming if it’s so irritating, or go back and play some older games. Either way, the overconsumption of people who grew up gaming js unsustainable and it leads to mental burnout eventually. Doesn’t help that most profit comes from multiplayer games, which people continue to actively play while complaining about it as if there aren’t other options.

      I don’t have the same time to devote to gaming as I did during my “golden years” so I mostly just follow the big releases that get the most media coverage. That is definitely a me problem. I’m mostly just venting. I just now finally beat red dead redemption 2 so I have plenty of backlog to catch up on.

      It’s as much nostalgia pining for what Call of Duty was around the time of vCod and MoH:AA when it used to beat genre defining instead of just another money pit.

      The other part is my disgust as a parent of how predatory monetization is in popular kids games these days. Putt Putt didn’t have any season passes or mtx dammit

  Her design is really cool - I wonder if this is the look they’re going for in the new game!
