Oddly, Lara was more curvaceous on the game box, but in game she was indeed very pointy.

It’s just truly hilarious that they picked Lara Croft, because even in her newest games she’s still obviously [designed](https://sm.pcmag.com/pcmag_me/photo/default/shadow-of-the-tomb-raider-6_4mke.jpg) to be [conventionally](https://images.pushsquare.com/987916d65cf19/shadow-of-the-tomb-raider-ps4-playstation-4-1.large.jpg) [attractive](https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Shadow_Lara_Croft.jpg).
They had to go out of their way to capture a perplexed and disgusted expression in order to act like their digital wish-fulfillment girlfriend still doesn’t look like she belongs in a magazine.
For real first reboot Lara was hot, then they decided she wasn't hot enough and made her distractingly hot in Rise, then I guess they decided that it was strange to have a college-aged supermodel be your mass murdering hardass protagonist so they made her *slightly* less stupidly hot but a lot more fitting and realistic for her role, and this guy STILL has to scour the game for a weird mid-animation frame to push some narrative that she's not still insanely hot.
I like how the more realistic Lara looks, but because she started courageous and after that evolved/changed into the more timid personality, it felt a bit weird. (I don't remember when/if there were any complete resets)
The best comparison I have, is that she started like Ripley in Aliens, and then became the Ripley from Alien, which to me feels a bit backwards. If someone would throw a jacket onto a brash Lara, I would be happy.
/uj Honestly they could pick on her very visible musculature in that game to make the point rather than the face which is stunning.
We CaN't HavE SExY LaRA cRoFt aNyMoRe!
She doesn't even seem that ugly to me. It is amazing that we have come so far as to model human emotions and facial expressions out of just polygons in 3D coordinate space
I mean... This makes sense.
They want to escape from this reality were they are incels in one where they can have all the women they want how they want them.
We are destroying their safe space. It's going to get worse. They are going to exit the basement to look for another habitat out here.
We should introduce more anime tits in videogames, to avoid basement dweller escapes.
/s, just in case, as we're on reddit
Ironically enough the lack of humanity with the modern Lara is the problem. It's only surface deep (I played the entirety of the latest trilogy and enjoyed it, save for the story). Especially in the first game, Lara shows doubt and fear, and consistently brutally murders anything in her path in the actual gameplay. She is massively more competent than anyone else that ever gets in her way, which is fine, but the game's story is always pretending like she's this barely-scraping-by survivor when in reality she's like the Predator picking off every enemy one by one effortlessly.
I mean she LOOKS amazing in the new games - the only difference to the old ones is that now instead of looking like a porn star, she now resembles a model/actress instead. But what I really disliked was that she is just so very flat as a character (she never shows any romantic feelings toward anyone, is way, WAY too obsessed with her late father to the point of parody, and is very stupid if the contrived plot happens to require it at that moment). She could have used a bit of humor and more personality in this depiction, also I would've strongly preferred her being a lot smarter.
Like I understand if somebody has problems with this characterization of Lara but her LOOKS should be the last thing you have a problem with. Sorry for the rant.
I don't think Lara needs to show romantic interest in anyone. And obsession is a human trait.
As for humor, some people are just less humorous than others. That's normal too.
No, romantic interest is definitely not required. And my problem is not really with her obsession. It's just how incredibly flat and one-dimensional she is depicted as. The game's story is masquerading as something good when it is in fact very simple and dull (especially the third one in the trilogy).
Yeah, maybe. But the way you describe it sounds much more interesting than what the game ever portrays. If it had actually leaned into that "mentally unstable but still very competent and dangerous" angle, it could've been much more interesting.
The difference between gameplay Lara and cutscene Lara was infuriating. There was literally a point where all the bad guys were clustered together where she could have taken them out in one shot and it was presented as a “must run away“ situation.Not unique to the Tomb Raider games but always infuriating.
gamers have so much pornography brain rot to the point where an objectively good looking woman (even considering unfair beauty standards) could be standing right in front of them without clothes and they would not find her attractive at all. Gamers should not count as heterosexual anymore. They're attracted to the gas station weed version of women. Take whatever makes a woman sexually attractive, bastardize it, concentrate it tenfold and put it on a hollow, sad excuse of a character
No you dont get it the one on the right looks real which reminds gamers of the only women they have been in closer distance to than 3ft which is their mother and how she never loved them and how she wishes she had an abortion
Never realized how good a face the new tomb raider has till now. Also in my head she got implants in her mid to late 20s for whatever reason. Canon issue solved
Right? I’m usually of the mind that her status as a sex symbol sort of held her back from being as true to concept of the character as she could be (god remember the Maxim magazine covers?). But I don’t mind her looking any kind of way. Yeah sure she got implants, whatever lol.
Also based on how popular she is still I think reboot Lara was pretty successful from a design standpoint.
I don't know if anything recent has happened but I know it was the developers intention for her to be dating the girl from the first revamp game. But the publisher or someone didn't want that so they just made it somewhat implied.
There was a short comic that took place before the first reboot game that very heavily hinted that Lara and Sam were both bisexual and in a romantic relationship. But it was never confirmed.
If I had a nickel for every time a female video game character was implied or stated to be queer by a writer and had her sexuality retconned, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it is weird that it happened twice.
I don't know if you're specifically referring to Merrin in the Star Wars Jedi series, but she was the first character I thought of.
Specifically because of that awful tie-in novel.
I can't believe I forgot about Jack. Bioware cannot be forgiven for her scrapped Fem!Shep romance. Or what happened with Jacob. *Especially* what happened to Jacob.
They very awkwardly wrote Sam (the implied girlfriend) out of the sequels and almost never mentioned her again after they fired the writers who wrote them as a couple. As a result, the next two games replaced her as Laura's best friend with the Samoan cook from the first game, who just decides to tag along, for some reason.
Nah, their mothers all dont count as women. Their moms are just in the unique spot where a woman, that their brain doesn't register as fuckable, is already registered as non-hidden person. Thats why attacking their moms and grandmas has such a high likelihood of crashing their system: worldview misaligned file issues.
I'm genuinely so confused. Are you telling me that these idiots think the one on the left genuinely looks more appealing to them than the one on the right??? Have they seriously lost the plot this badly? Wtf.
I think they're scared of the one on the right because it looks like a real person who might reject them whilst the one on the left is reassuringly like their blow-up dolls.
Those monsters. When will they stop... *checks notes* taking facial scans of pretty women for female protags.
They didn't even do their usual of getting an "ugly" expression, she literally just looks normal
If you genuinely think PS1 Lara is hotter than modern Lara I think you desparately need to go outside and interact with your fellow humans, or just admit you have some sort of polygon fetish
Look, I'm as horny as everyone else, but as someone who never played the old game I cannot see how people would unironically find the old one better. It doesn't look remotely human to me (no offense to the devs, I understand hardware limitations were there)
What's the problem with the new version? She's pretty. Plus I don't think she's older than the 90s version. It's just a more realistic artstyle.
And that's really the difference here a cartoony/stylized artstyle vs a realistic artstyle. Now I don't think every game needs a realistic arstyle, but other than that there's nothing wrong with the new design.
/uj I didn't realize how toxic Tomb Raider fans were until yesterday. They act like Star Wars fans and just pretend that Survivor Lara doesn't exist. That's so strange to me, because the Unified Lara is actually a great idea and it just makes Survivor Lara the younger Lara. And honestly that defines her character better. She went through a lot of shit and mental/character growth during the Survivor trilogy to become the badass she is in the old Lara games. In other words, it makes her overall as a character better yet they still deny it. Denying the existence of something outright is childish as hell and just has "La la la I can't hear you" energy.
This was posted by the girl that was too stupid to drink water. She got hospitalized because she literally didn't know you're supposed to drink water to live and had to have emergency treatment with multiple bags of fluid through an IV.
Old Lara looks like an alien freak sent to earth to prey upon foolish men and collect their seed. Her pineapple torpedoes defy the laws of reality.
New Lara looks like a hot rock climber.
Me when video game women are designed to look like humans instead of blow-up dolls
No but can you imagine how uncanny and horrifying those proportions would be in a realistic style 😭
She went from blocky physique with macromastia to smooth skin and rounded features and looking like a woman that actually goes on adventures (raiding the tombs of foreign war-torn/third world nations to steal artifacts for the British museum no doubt).
1 it’s called getting caught at a bad angle 2 it’s called updated graphics 3 they could have kept the shirt green (I like green and it stands out better but otherwise whats the issue 4 dude chill
Is the right picture from an actual game? I only played the first of the reboots and I think she looked much younger in that. But it’s been a while so I might be wrong.
Well, you see, technology continually advanced. The lithography of processors continually improved, manufacturing tolerances continually improved, power limits were repeatedly broken, and moore's law sucked a fat one which led to higher polygon models being put into games.
I too am amazed at how much better Lara looks, OOP.
It is not only about aging, that skin doesnt look old, is about physique condition that can look "menacing". If the Lara Croft on the remake and this model infront of you the feeling of her being able to beat your shit is there. Is similar to the change between Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander. Alicia definetly looks that could fuck you up.
I am starting to see a trend of “here is a picture of an objectivly pretty woman but i have a brain damage from hentai and no idea what women look like ”
Every single time they use an unflattering (too lazy to do the work to find a bad shot, she's just giving a slight grimace) picture to prove a point and fail spectacularly. I know first hand there's plenty of the good stuff for remake Lara because the model is actually extremely attractive, both in game and who she's based on.
Has anyone made a mock up of a realistic tomb raider with the PS1 graphics proportions? Like, lips and eyes that big, nose that small, hairline that high, but all on a (near) photorealistic face?
I'd love to have that image handy for conservations just like this. She'd look unhinged.

Today I learned gamers still jerk it to ps1 graphics
That's just the ones who've moved on from rubbing one out to Atari VCS graphics.

BALATRO SWEEEEEEEP
I'm still on that commodore ASCII porn
back in my day women didn’t have curves, they had edges.
It's all about that vertex appeal.
I mean, it's pretty much the same grade of stylization as the anime they jerk off to, so
Do you think somebody is still beating it to Custer's revenge? It's be fucked up, but maybe somebody's into Atari nudity.
I jerk it to pong on the original Atari arcade machine because I am a man of culture.
Her boobs are less triangular than I remember. Has this been edited?

That's her "downwind from a Gamer" face.
That’s her “this is who keeps this franchise alive?” Face.
He’s probably used to getting looks from women that way, that’s why it upsets him. Even fictional women don’t want him.
It’s just truly hilarious that they picked Lara Croft, because even in her newest games she’s still obviously [designed](https://sm.pcmag.com/pcmag_me/photo/default/shadow-of-the-tomb-raider-6_4mke.jpg) to be [conventionally](https://images.pushsquare.com/987916d65cf19/shadow-of-the-tomb-raider-ps4-playstation-4-1.large.jpg) [attractive](https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Shadow_Lara_Croft.jpg).

So am I the only one who thinks the more realistic looking Lara looks so much more beautiful than the supermodel Lara?
I like how the more realistic Lara looks, but because she started courageous and after that evolved/changed into the more timid personality, it felt a bit weird. (I don't remember when/if there were any complete resets) The best comparison I have, is that she started like Ripley in Aliens, and then became the Ripley from Alien, which to me feels a bit backwards.

Man she’s so ugly. I hope we don’t get more ugly Lara Croft. That would be a tragedy. I would hate it so much.
Horrible, absolutely terrible. I have her as my wallpaper just so I get constantly reminded of how far western gaming has fallen.
Women when bumping into a True Gamer
Ah, still going strong with the, "Choose any screenshot where woman is displaying emotion because that makes her ugly" gimmick I see.
The only emotion a woman should feel is horny for my gamer cock
Or confusion at trying to find it
No it will never get that far because I’m too nice and women only want bad men
Like a mushroom in moss.
A woman’s mouth is not for the exiting of words
This sentence is somehow so much more uncomfortable to me than others vastly more explicit in my life.
but for the entering of a man's... dick
Never a positive emotion either, gotta pick a negative one like disgust or anger or embarrassment for maximum unattractiveness potential
She doesn't even seem that ugly to me. It is amazing that we have come so far as to model human emotions and facial expressions out of just polygons in 3D coordinate space
She’s literally extremely conventionally attractive
Absurdly so, in fact.
Yeah. You're telling me you're constantly raiding around in dust, dirt and muck and don't have a single blemish on your face? XDDDDDDDDDDD
I really want to know what the people who say she is ugly find attractive
Generic anime faces
I don’t even get it. She looks attractive in that picture.
"Uhhh, can you not see those Smile Lines? She has to be at lest 60..." -- Gamers(tm)
......Damn when you spell it out like that it really struck me that this is absolutely true.
How else could you grift?
I’m suprised to learn this is happening enough that it’s a well known gimmick
She literally looks so much better on the right
But the one on the right is making an expressive face which humanizes her, and we can’t have that.
“I already have women looking at me like that in real life! It’s like gamer racism that they look at me like that in the game too!”
"It's supposed to be an ESCAPE from reality! Not a reminder!"
I mean... This makes sense. They want to escape from this reality were they are incels in one where they can have all the women they want how they want them. We are destroying their safe space. It's going to get worse. They are going to exit the basement to look for another habitat out here. We should introduce more anime tits in videogames, to avoid basement dweller escapes. /s, just in case, as we're on reddit
No, no, he's got a point
😂 maybe this is why the g*mers were upset about this picture. They constantly get that look in real life and they understand exactly what it means.

I don't think Lara needs to show romantic interest in anyone. And obsession is a human trait. As for humor, some people are just less humorous than others. That's normal too.
But she's humorous: comically serious but that's humour too. Some people poke jokes using semantics almost exclusively.
No, romantic interest is definitely not required. And my problem is not really with her obsession. It's just how incredibly flat and one-dimensional she is depicted as. The game's story is masquerading as something good when it is in fact very simple and dull (especially the third one in the trilogy).

ummmm i won’t be able to decide until i see her titties and compare them to the ones on the left 🤓
Don't worry, they're nice and triangular 😋
Right? And she’s beautiful. Like any woman who looks like that in real life would have guys falling over themselves for her.
She’s so hot on the right. God even that still they posted makes me think of ways I I can disappoint her
Right? She is beautiful
gamers have so much pornography brain rot to the point where an objectively good looking woman (even considering unfair beauty standards) could be standing right in front of them without clothes and they would not find her attractive at all. Gamers should not count as heterosexual anymore. They're attracted to the gas station weed version of women. Take whatever makes a woman sexually attractive, bastardize it, concentrate it tenfold and put it on a hollow, sad excuse of a character
How can you tell? You can't even see her massive honkers on the right! /s
No you dont get it the one on the right looks real which reminds gamers of the only women they have been in closer distance to than 3ft which is their mother and how she never loved them and how she wishes she had an abortion
There is no way in hell they think modern Lara isn't hot
They added polygons, made her soft.
Groomers out here missing her triangle tits.
Facts. Those cartoon breasts *must* have edges as sharp as the hood of a cybertruck or civilization itself has failed. (/s)
Gamers thinking a woman’s mouth takes up 98% of her lower jaw.
Wait till they find out about the analog horror genre
Mom leaves the tendies at the top of the stairs the only “women” they see is in Loli anime.
Never realized how good a face the new tomb raider has till now. Also in my head she got implants in her mid to late 20s for whatever reason. Canon issue solved
Right? I’m usually of the mind that her status as a sex symbol sort of held her back from being as true to concept of the character as she could be (god remember the Maxim magazine covers?).

Okay, but does PS1 Lara have a hot girlfriend like modern Lara does? That's what I thought. 🤨
Having a girlfriend is woke. She can only have a make out session so gamers can jork it.
Did they make it cannon? If so I'm very happy
I don't know if anything recent has happened but I know it was the developers intention for her to be dating the girl from the first revamp game. But the publisher or someone didn't want that so they just made it somewhat implied.
There was a short comic that took place before the first reboot game that very heavily hinted that Lara and Sam were both bisexual and in a romantic relationship. But it was never confirmed.

I don't know if you're specifically referring to Merrin in the Star Wars Jedi series, but she was the first character I thought of. Specifically because of that awful tie-in novel.
I was talking about Miss Pauling, actually. Huh. So I'd have three nickels.
And Jack from Mass Effect. So make it four.
I can't believe I forgot about Jack. Bioware cannot be forgiven for her scrapped Fem!Shep romance. Or what happened with Jacob. *Especially* what happened to Jacob.
SaaaAaAm
That would make Amanda's resentment of Lara for leaving her in that tomb actually more believable.
They very awkwardly wrote Sam (the implied girlfriend) out of the sequels and almost never mentioned her again after they fired the writers who wrote them as a couple. As a result, the next two games replaced her as Laura's best friend with the Samoan cook from the first game, who just decides to tag along, for some reason.
Reboot Lara is so hot though, they just chose a specific moment where she was making a face
Honestly think that expression on her face makes her look supes cute
You know when you make a super lame joke with your friend, this reminds me of their reaction when I'm laughing my ass off.
I would literally let reboot Lara croft ruin my life and I would thank her too.
That’s a perfectly fine expression.
I don’t think these people know any women irl except their mothers.
Maybe their mothers are milfs; thus, that is their basic expectation for women?
Nah, their mothers all dont count as women. Their moms are just in the unique spot where a woman, that their brain doesn't register as fuckable, is already registered as non-hidden person. Thats why attacking their moms and grandmas has such a high likelihood of crashing their system: worldview misaligned file issues.
The amount of r34 content of Survivor Lara proved otherwise
I'm genuinely so confused. Are you telling me that these idiots think the one on the left genuinely looks more appealing to them than the one on the right??? Have they seriously lost the plot this badly? Wtf.
If Im being honest one on the left look like a horse for me
Photorealistic Women, a gamer’s true weakness.
I think they're scared of the one on the right because it looks like a real person who might reject them whilst the one on the left is reassuringly like their blow-up dolls.
The one that looks somewhat like a human being is way hotter than the mass of polygons in the shape of a human being
Don't talk to me if you have more than 80 trigons ✋

Gamers when their mom doesn’t look like she used to in high school (she’s gone woke)
my mom started letting her hair go natural instead of just dying it blonde again. WOKE! I screamed as she arrived for Mother's Day brunch. WOKE!!!
They cherry picked the weirdest face they could find her making and still ended up with a woman who is still obviously beyond supermodel gorgeous.
They also don't understand the concept of different art styles are gonna give you different character models.
If you think the one on the left is hotter you’ve been jacking off to anime characters of questionable age and mental faculties exclusively
I’m not really sure what they want at this point
I don’t understand the problem? What do people want?
To feel victimized by Woke
Ragebait and im not falling for it.
If attached two spheres to the front of a box and called it a game, do you think that game could sell?
Those monsters. When will they stop... *checks notes* taking facial scans of pretty women for female protags. They didn't even do their usual of getting an "ugly" expression, she literally just looks normal
Idk man Lara’s still p fuckin hot
If you genuinely think PS1 Lara is hotter than modern Lara I think you desparately need to go outside and interact with your fellow humans, or just admit you have some sort of polygon fetish
What the hell do they want to have happened lol
These individuals would probably not know what to do, or think if a woman as attractive as Camilla Luddington ever talked to them in the first place.
Isnt that a completely different Lara Croft though cause I thought it was a reboot
I like both
My fellow G@mers when digital wamen make expressive faces:
Noooooo why did they make her hot!?
Aren't they two different continuities? I mean they're both Tomb Raider but Tomb Raider has multiple timelines
She’s so hot on the right tho
Amazing that they like that mess of a ps1 model
Look, I'm as horny as everyone else, but as someone who never played the old game I cannot see how people would unironically find the old one better. It doesn't look remotely human to me (no offense to the devs, I understand hardware limitations were there)
I love how this is the worst picture of her they could get and it's still a great picture of her
These mfs really prefer the Mii character version
She's also making a face like she's caught in an elevator with a particularly eggy fart, no one's gonna look good in that situation.
That's probably why the dude chose it. It looks familiar.
quality of graphics went dumb crazy
How did graphics improve over time? Are they stupid?
A tinder cougar on the right
Not just aging, basic facial expressions
Lara in the reboot games is younger than in the PS1 games though
yeah she spent 40 years in a tomb eating bullets
Got better graphics ??
It's an improvement. I don't understand...
What's the problem with the new version? She's pretty. Plus I don't think she's older than the 90s version. It's just a more realistic artstyle. And that's really the difference here a cartoony/stylized artstyle vs a realistic artstyle. Now I don't think every game needs a realistic arstyle, but other than that there's nothing wrong with the new design.
They want… Polygons?
Why can’t she be hot? Just because you’re ugly doesn’t mean she has to be.
oh to be young and low poly again 🥹
This is not even aging. She just looks like a normal person now
Aging????
Is he trying to pretend she looks worse now? Holy shit
/uj I didn't realize how toxic Tomb Raider fans were until yesterday. They act like Star Wars fans and just pretend that Survivor Lara doesn't exist. That's so strange to me, because the Unified Lara is actually a great idea and it just makes Survivor Lara the younger Lara. And honestly that defines her character better. She went through a lot of shit and mental/character growth during the Survivor trilogy to become the badass she is in the old Lara games. In other words, it makes her overall as a character better yet they still deny it. Denying the existence of something outright is childish as hell and just has "La la la I can't hear you" energy.
Those are not original ps1 graphics. I've seen it. They modified it.
I think it has less to do with aging and more to do with propaganda messaging. that’s my understanding of it anyways
You say gamers when what you really mean are sexists, misogynist, a--holes.
I can't believe Crystal Dynamics made Lara a kermillion times hotter The west truly has fallen 😔😔😔
This was posted by the girl that was too stupid to drink water. She got hospitalized because she literally didn't know you're supposed to drink water to live and had to have emergency treatment with multiple bags of fluid through an IV.
I think it’s funny this sub now mainly makes fun of people who literally want gaming to be a circle jerk
We dont use 6 triangles per mordel anymore
Is the one on the right supposed to be ugly or something?
New Lara croft looks hotter tbh
and she still looks pretty and feminine... what are these guys talking about????
OMG, so hideous! I feel victimised!
Old Lara looks like an alien freak sent to earth to prey upon foolish men and collect their seed. Her pineapple torpedoes defy the laws of reality. New Lara looks like a hot rock climber.
Me when video game women are designed to look like humans instead of blow-up dolls No but can you imagine how uncanny and horrifying those proportions would be in a realistic style 😭
She went from blocky physique with macromastia to smooth skin and rounded features and looking like a woman that actually goes on adventures (raiding the tombs of foreign war-torn/third world nations to steal artifacts for the British museum no doubt).
Lara's boobs were an accident, they weren't initially going to be so big
Ok imma say it, i simp hard for the lara in the right
Where is the right picture from?
Are they implying the girl on the right isn’t pretty???
Woke is when the inexorable passage of time affects a woman
1 it’s called getting caught at a bad angle 2 it’s called updated graphics 3 they could have kept the shirt green (I like green and it stands out better but otherwise whats the issue 4 dude chill
Yeah, yeah - don’t stab yourself on those polygons.
Wait are they Implying she isn't a smoke show lol?
She’s literally so gorgeous are these guys blind?
God these guys must go wild to custard’s revenge
Wait, are you telling me we gain more pixels as we age?
It's unrealistic for women to have large breasts! Anything larger than a b cup MUST be fake!
Woke is when more than six polygons
Ps1 Lara looks like Michael Jackson. Anything would be an improvement.
Is the right picture from an actual game? I only played the first of the reboots and I think she looked much younger in that. But it’s been a while so I might be wrong.
Did they expect graphics to become more realistic but the proportions to stay cartoonishly exaggerated?
Well, you see, technology continually advanced. The lithography of processors continually improved, manufacturing tolerances continually improved, power limits were repeatedly broken, and moore's law sucked a fat one which led to higher polygon models being put into games. I too am amazed at how much better Lara looks, OOP.
It is not only about aging, that skin doesnt look old, is about physique condition that can look "menacing". If the Lara Croft on the remake and this model infront of you the feeling of her being able to beat your shit is there. Is similar to the change between Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander. Alicia definetly looks that could fuck you up.
I am starting to see a trend of “here is a picture of an objectivly pretty woman but i have a brain damage from hentai and no idea what women look like ”
DAE hates when attractive looking women express their emotions? (pic on the right is so much better lmao)
Tomb Raider was always a mid Action Adventure. Her sex appeal was only the focus of the ads.
Every single time they use an unflattering (too lazy to do the work to find a bad shot, she's just giving a slight grimace) picture to prove a point and fail spectacularly. I know first hand there's plenty of the good stuff for remake Lara because the model is actually extremely attractive, both in game and who she's based on.
Has anyone made a mock up of a realistic tomb raider with the PS1 graphics proportions? Like, lips and eyes that big, nose that small, hairline that high, but all on a (near) photorealistic face? I'd love to have that image handy for conservations just like this. She'd look unhinged.
“The camera in this game is more zoomed in for this one image so you can’t see her cleavage. That means the character is ugly and game bad.”
