for some reason lara's excessive violence bothers me more then other games. it's a jarring aspect of her character.
Did you ever think that's because she's a female lead? All these complaints about "excessive violence" that crop up in every Tomb Raider thread... that's not a coincidence.
If Lara was Larry, like in, oh I don't know... every other damned action game, it's odd how the violence is not only accepted, it's embraced.
This isn't about Lara or her actions. It's about the reaction male gamers have to strong women not being princesses placed in a tower waiting to be rescued.
