@Werehog Hahaha! I have nothing more to add to the conversation, but just wanted to say your gay lingo made me crack up. I think we should exclusively communicate to each other in this style moving forward. What do you say, queen? Should we slay the house down boots together when we kiki? Yaaass, sounds like a fabulous time to me.
@Tjuz Deal... er, I mean, you go, girlfriend. [snaps fingers]

Here with the last Tomb Raider update for a while, specifically from the tail end of The Last Revelation and then the entirety of Chronicles, because why the heck not.
There are now 158 shots in the full gallery. Here are some highlights.

Kingdom Come Deliverance. Much like Everybody's Gone to The Rapture there was no photo-mode so I had to make my own, which is a shame because it can be a very beautiful game.
@Werehog I really like that first one and should probably try a Tomb Raider game, I'm sure I have the retro ones too. I really like that Falcon the one wearing the traditional Egyptian nemes (head-dress). That one is in the style of Horus, one of my favorite deities. I like the ceremonial staff too, that's lapis lazuli too, it means they were guardians of the royal court and of treasures. Tutankhamun's funerary mask was inlaid with that same material, the same for proper Eye of Horus amulets.
The New York sky-line looks so different too, it's missing One Vanderbilt, Steinway Tower, 432 Park Avenue, Central Park Tower too. Midtown looks almost quaint, how old is the game?
These violent delights have violent ends & in their triumph die, like fire & powder Which, as they kiss, consume.
@GirlVersusGame Excellent results from Kingdom Come up there, especially without a Photo Mode! I especially like that first landscape, it's almost postcard-perfect. Nicely done!
And yes, the attention to historical and cultural detail in Tomb Raider games is better than most. Not all of it is perfect, and they have made some (in)famous mistakes over the years, but there is at least an attempt at effort in each level's design. Case in point, that boss is indeed a guardian!
That skyline is a new addition to the remaster (as the original was just a pixelated mess which repeated itself over and over, leading to multiple WTCs visible from certain windows) but I'm not sure it was aiming for total accuracy. The events of the level are set in 1999 but beyond the obvious, I'm not all that familiar with New York's history to tell you which buildings should and shouldn't be visible. Perhaps they just worked off a pre-2001 photograph and called it a day?

@Thrillho These are beautiful and the puppy companion is back? so it's like in some other games where they include features that originally were dlcs. I hope you didn't turn that cow into dinner, I see that war hammer. The npcs seem more naturally posed now too, I think the second picture is my favorite. That last one has Ravix written all over it.
@Werehog It was odd even seeing Lara Croft in a city, I always expected tombs and jungles or deserts.

The skyline changes rather rapidly, the oldest one I can remember would be the old Turtles movie skyline. That would be 1990. It's all changed so much, you've most likely seen the movie. I think that angle was taken from Staten Island. It's a cheesy movie but very good, the second too.

@GirlVersusGame Mutt does indeed make a reappearance... after an initial disappearance. An early quest line is to find him after the events of the early game. He is the bestest boy and is repeatedly told so. And while I couldn't eat any meat for the Lent trophy, he was more than happy to do so.
And that was indeed my lavish warhammer but I've gone back to spending most of the game with a short sword, particularly in the late game where a one handed short sword is pretty powerful.
