They look okay well, apart from the fact that her hand doesn't go any thinner towards her wrist ; you know your hand is supposed to be the same size of your face/head so they're sort of in proportion with her body...

That just looks hideous. Like she had bad plasic surgery on her hands. I hope it's changed. Why hadn't I noticed this before?

She's ate to many pies and all the fat as gone to her hands!

I still don't get why they're so chubby near her wrists; has someone just copied and pasted her hands from somewhere else!?!

What are you guys talking about?
Lara's hands looks fine!
Well, according to the screenshots from the links.
I don't see what you guys are clearly disgusted about.
Calm down........there just hands.
I never look at Lara's hands during gamplay anyways.
So if there were ,"hideous," I'd never know.

To me, her hand kinda covers up part of her wetsuit's sleeve, but hey that's just me!

Also this thread is sort of a change from the threads with people seeing ghosts in windows,etc...

Indeed. I'm afraid I too see a huge, oversized hunk of meat attached to her non-existent wrist.

I can only see one pic that shows Lara's fingers to be too long. The rest, her hands look in proportion, imo.

Lara's had other over-large "chunks of meat" on her in the past.

Although; unlike the hands, they have quite a lot of fans...

EDIT-

I'm not on of them by the way, obviously! O.o

Yea it wasn't a specific picture.
It seems as those it was suppose to be.
And I agree, in all of the pictures her hands looked fine.

Not like,"She's ate to many pies and all the fat as gone to her hands."
Or, "Hideous."
Or, " Like she had bad plasic surgery on her hands."

They weren't even that detailed for you guys to draw all these conclusions.

Please don't have a go, it was a joke; we're all entitled to our opinions, so please don't tell us that we can't have our own...

So this isn't enough detail?



Are you telling me that, from that image, I'm unable to come to the opinion that Lara's hands look very long and claw-like (like Natla's in TRA)? Look at the length of those fingers! It's ridiculous!

Her hand actually isn't that detailed.
I don't see any knuckles, they just look white.
And they don't look bad.
Is her fingers being, "too lengthy", really going to stop you from getting a copy of TRU?

No, of course not. The point is that, in my opinion at least, her hands look ridiculous. Not just a small niggling flaw, but absolutely ridiculous. And I really don't understand how anybody can think otherwise.

Do this simple test: Place your right hand palm down on the underside of your left forearm, with the middle finger of your right hand level with your left wrist. Is your right hand the length of your left forearm?
