@Chrypt22 So... Having a senior exec act like a spoiled child on Twitter is somehow a positive move for customer relations, product approval rating, and increasing revenue, over-all? Explain... Because to me, this sounds like a Marie Antionette statement... "Let Them Eat Cake"... Telling your consumer base to "Deal With It" sounds so arrogant, to EVERYONE, that I don't think it should be ignored REGARDLESS of the final outcome. Who does this guy think HE is, or WE are, in this equation? Seriously, this is a DUMB thing for ANY rep of a company to say, about ANY product.
Bottom line, I say screw Orth. Screw him into the stone age...
I guess, because I was a gamer back in the "PONG" and Atari 2600 days, and early Commodore, PC, and Apple II gaming, as well as bombarded by it on a daily basis now from every angle, degree of truth in advertizing rarely effects me... It doesn't phase me or surprise me. I figure, it's a patch-up. Look at the 8-bit Era box art, and tell me that was representative of the final game? Larfs.
"Hey Pop! Is that REAL game footage? No son. That's a COMMERCIAL. The print or online stuff about the game? ADS. "
Let's WAIT, and see what the initial reviews are of the game, before we rush out and impulsively pre-spend on a title, let-alone buying it on Day One. There has never been a game in the last 7 years, which I have been unable to find. I've never been disappointed by a lack of copies, when I went to buy ANYTHING of this gen.
Use your head, when buying. It's a fool and his money, are soon parted.

@Baraq @handyman450 I think it makes her look every bit the hero she has been to so many of us, to go through what she does and come out the other side, stronger and more able than when she started. It shows that women are just as capable of being beaten only to prevail as any male character... Did Nathan Drake getting the snot kicked out of him in the opening of "Uncharted 2" make you "sick", as well? If not, then you have a serious issue with equality of the sexes, m'friend... Strong female characters are awesome, and awesome characters get hurt on their way to greatness... It's a fact.
I agree with the other comments... You need to get over yourself, and accept that women can be as awesome as men in adventure games, part of that being their resiliency.
As always, Carolyn writes and presents an excellent review... You are one of the stand-out journalists for the site. Thank you! The game looks like exactly my kind of Lara.... Can't wait to find a copy and play it for myself!!! haters gonna hate, but this looks so much better than the "Uncharted" series, much as I love it. I will always be more of a Lara gamer...
