[@WillcraftAnimations]

@@darghe There used to be ways to circumvent it like watching a mirror on another site or tweaking the URL, but KZbin has tightened the loopholes overtime (a great use of their resources considering absolutely nothing else on the site needs fixing). At this point my go-to method is to use your KZbin downloader of choice to download the entire video and watch it that way. Pretty cumbersome when they're this long, but it's the only way I know of that still works. If anyone's got a smoother alternative I'd love to know.

I know you're playing a video game in another dimension far away from here. But what you experience here is no game.

Between the aggressive music during the rooftop/antenna shootout, the maze, and the frustration, it's madness inducing.

It's funny to recognize so many of the female animations from the oldschool Tomb Raider games, especially the under water lever pulling, I wonder if the male models even have an animation for that, since it made you switch characters just before. Considering Eidos published this, it's probably safe to assume they were just using Tomb Raider assets, I'm gonna guess the future setting is just there to make the models look funky enough to not be too obvious of a rip-off. What I'm trying to say, with a lot more words than all the other comments that already said it; David Cage is a fraud
