Tomb Raider and Dragon Age are my favorite series. If we're just talking about individual games, Saints Row IV and Mass Effect 2 would make an appearance as well.
Saints Row is so much fun! I picked up SR2 on during a PSN sale in 2012, and I was hooked after that. I did enjoy GTA3 and Vice City, but they series started to lose me a little when the stories became more "realistic." I love a good story and character development in some games, but in others, I just want to do awful, absurd things.
In terms of sheer fun, I think SR4 is my favorite, followed closely by SR3; SR4 is really just SR3 amped up with even more ridiculousness and SUPER POWERS. SR2 was a great introduction to the series and a worthwhile play, but in my opinion, I think you can kind of tell that they still weren't 100% sure what the series' overall tone should be. There's some heaviness to it that feels a little at odds with silliness.
Hello! I'm Ashley. I generally go for open-world, RPG, and action-adventure games with either a female protagonist or the ability to create my own female protagonist.
My favorite series/games include:
- Tomb Raider! (Huge, huge fan--I do have a TR comm if anyone wants to chat with me about it!)
- Dragon Age
- Mass Effect
- Saints Row
- Fallout (Recent titles)
- Skyrim
- Uncharted (Although I haven't played 4 yet)
- I like checking out smaller/indie titles, too. ABZU and Dex are the most recent ones I've played.
I'm currently playing Skyrim--I've had the base game modded a lot for a while now, so playing the SE felt like a downgrade, but all the hype around it got me hyped again. I keep most of my RPG adventures and character development under my fereldanwench moniker at this blog.
Classic Lara (complete with the red sunglasses!) would be an absolute must for me, but I'd also love to see:
- Classic Natla
- Sophia Leigh
- Legend Lara with the Union Jack top
- Classic Lara with the bomber jacket
- Lara in her Croft Manor sweats
Sure do, especially with the trend of having massive open world games. Sometimes I feel like I've experienced enough of the gameplay and/or story without needing to fully beat the game, in whatever capacity that might be (getting all the achievements, finishing all the side quests, finishing the main quest, etc).
I'm Ashley, the creator of this comm, and a long-time fan of the series! I didn't really get to play the games until a few years after the release of the original title, but I was hooked as soon as I got them. Bad ass female protag with incredibly beautiful, sprawling worlds to explore and engaging puzzles to solve? Yes, please.
The Game Boy title was actually the first TR game I played, followed by TRII. To this day, TRII has a soft spot in my heart, and as much as I love the newer iterations (Rise is truly phenomenal, in my opinion), I still say it's my favorite.
I've been very fortunate to have had a few opportunities to brush shoulders with the devs--In 2012, I was a community ambassador at E3. I also did some artwork for the 15 Year Celebration in 2011, and I'm beyond excited to say that I will be one of the fan artists published in the 20 Year Anniversary book coming out this fall.
I generally really like video games. In addition to Tomb Raider, I adore Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Saints Row. I've also had a lot of fun with Fallout and TES, and I like expanding my horizons and checking out indie games as often as possible. I'm currently playing ABZU.
I am new to Imzy, but I have moderated other communities before. I'm hoping this will end up a nice place for TR fans to come together and share their love of the franchise. ♥
