If the logic here is "it's realistic", I will probably not buy the game on the grounds that either they will not feature her pooping, which is not very realistic, or they will feature her pooping, which I'm not remotely interested in seeing.
What if she doesn't poop, but suffers a ruptured colon if you don't finish the game within a week or so?

There's no water on the island? She has no ability to wipe off her face?

Also, IF the mechanic is that she gets dirtier as she is exposed to dirt, that might make sense. I was under the impression this was a static model.
No, my impression from things I've read is she starts off perfectly clean but gets dirtier as you continue on.

As for the... bathroom needs. Come on, now you're bein' extreme, man.

I just think that appeals to realism are not prima facie sufficient to justify including some feature or other in a game. If something is fun or it is awesome, I find that a lot more compelling. That said, I find immersion both fun and awesome, so things that advance that I tend to approve of.

If the logic here is "it's realistic", I will probably not buy the game on the grounds that either they will not feature her pooping, which is not very realistic, or they will feature her pooping, which I'm not remotely interested in seeing.

Then I will purchase the game and masturbate furiously while playing it.

There's such a thing as having a bit of realism so that your immersion is better.

I'm somewhat disappointed that Lara's injuries are going to occur as a result of unavoidable cut-scenes instead of player action. Isn't it about time that games with a survival theme stopped doing that? If my character is going to fall and break a leg it should be because I made them fall, not because I reached a trigger point that makes a cut-scene play.

Actually the other injuries are QT events.

Are they avoidable quick time events though? Because if they're unavoidable, they might as well be a cut-scene that you just press buttons to play.

Considering it's not out yet nor have I played it, I don't have the foggiest on the context. I only know what I've read out of the myriad of preview articles.

Yes, that is why I said what I did about immersion.

Darkness II has been fully paid for. (subsidized by workplace)
Mass Effect CE has been confirmed by Newegg. (Birthday gift to myself, get off my back)
Bought Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (thanks to my childhood buddy for taking my N64 copy)
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is pre-ordered from NewEgg as well, tho I will be subsidized by my workplace.

I should probably save for my pre-order of Max Payne 3, The Witcher 2 (360), Darksiders II, and Tomb Raider. Tho I am assuming I'll get most of those for review (free copies!)

If all goes to plan, I'll be able to play The Witcher 2 on PC by the end of the month. Mods for the win baby!

Also, anyone here play Dominions 3? I've read a let's play for it and it looks amazing, but it's pretty expensive ($56 for a game made in 2006) and I'm a noob at 4X strategy so I'm not sure if my experience would be nearly as epic. What do y'all think?
