Because despite the fact that Lara decimates every enemy she encounters, one can't help but notice a fundamental difference between her and her targets. While the guards she kills packHalo-esque future-armor with bullet proof vests, helmets, and flame throwers, Lara Croft traipses about with spaghetti straps, a bow, and a high pony tail
One day... one day we may see a Tomb Raider game where the Lara has gear that looks the bare minimum for what she should have brought or will be about a power fantasy. The current trend of making everything gritty and “realistic” while having Lara in a tank top and basically slowly killing herself by scratches and abrasions really needs to go.
In the early games she at least came across as an unstoppable badass... now she comes across as unable to understand how clothing works.
