Xbox 360 Is Lara too sexual?

[Jessi]

I'm going to say no. And hey, even if she looks hot and we want to watch her, I don't see anything wrong with that.

Some of the comments that O'Brian makes in this video do call a lot of attention to it, though:

Around the middle of the video where Conan is going to climb and he chooses to just sit and watch her instead.... I definitely giggled, ha.

I guess she's good looking, but in some ways she's been toned down in comparison to previous Tomb Raider games.

That sent me to Google to see if you were right. At first, I thought maybe it was because graphics have gotten better, so as she's progressed, they've had to tone her down a bit so she didn't look quite as realistic.

Check out this image I found:

They've definitely toned it down in comparison with the older games in an attempt to keep her more grounded in this game.

While I'm not one to complain, generally, about her figure, I do think this is a good way to keep gamers' focus on the story and gameplay rather than just her body.

Never played any Tomb Raider games before, so I can't really compare it to prior games. Conan O'brien is definitely hilarious though, ha ha!

I prefer the look nowadays. They've made her look more realistic and is still portrayed as sexy but it's a more natural sexy.
2013's Tomb Raider is amazing graphic wise and I think if they made anything too big on her, it'd actually take away form sex appeal.

To the original post, no I don't think she's too sexual. As stated above, they've toned it down a bit but it's still sexy.

In most of the games I've played of her I never really felt that way while doing so. I have not played any of the more recent games I've actually only played up to the third Tomb Raider game, so it might just be that big point polygons don't really get me excited. I've never really been one to find Laura attractive, not even when Angelina played her, did you know they actually padded her bra during the movie? I've always been interested in the cuter girls rather than a hulking mass of boob.
