It’s important to be clear on the goals. The goals are not to be good enough. It is to be better. This is a very important distinction because the convo keeps drifting into people imagining that a game is either all or nothing and that is usually a strategy used to dismiss the critics: “We’ll NEVER be good enough to appease you!” is a disingenuous argument.
One way it could be better that Anita points out: not having visual language that focuses on the ass of a protagonist (as Tomb Raider 2013 occasionally indulges in).
You’re not looking at the material - it’s mostly actual stuff from the games themselves. The last video is a Let’s Play. This isn’t really someone making porn out of the game, it’s what the game itself presents, that is considered sexy.
I think we need to agree that Tomb Raider 2013 does have examples of the trope. If we can’t agree on that, you don’t understand what I’m talking about, so I can’t agree to disagree, since you don’t understand what you’re disagreeing with.
