I really enjoyed the doppelganger from underworld, even though she's a construct and created to obey it's clear she has some of her own thoughts and feelings. I get what people say about her story being completely told in this DLC but I would've liked an extended ending sequence after she was set free and killed Natla. Maybe her out in the modern world taking in the sights and sounds of the city or maybe just going to get some McDonald's - y'know, I'm interested to see WHAT she does with her freedom aside from murder her oppressor. She's actually one TR character aside from Lara I would like to see more of
2 years later.. Well I mean, she's basically a Clone of Lara that has no Flaws.. (No free will, no sense of hesitation and no Hunger, while having incredible stamina to Literally Climb walls like a Jaguar on a tree..) Until Lara gave her Free will.. But there are some things that probably won't continue for a Possible sequel.. err Frequal? Mostly because.. Spoilers for those who didn't finish Anniversary and Legend.. - Lara just found out what happened to her mother, and she only had to Mercy kill her by sending her into the pits again.. - If the alternative ending is Canon, Lara Just ended Madeline for trying to kill her and Now Lara has to Probably pay to Rebuild her Mansion.. - She also just decides to Destroy all of her Father's Work on the mystery of Atlantis because of the horrible truth it came with and the Risk it would cause for humanity... - The Doppelganger has no quarrel with Lara anymore since it's free to do its own thing.. and it doesn't look like it wants revenge on lara, but on Natline... So here's the question.... What happens to Lara Now?
After all these years... I'm still pissed that these DLCs never came to other platforms. They are part of the main story and yet only one section of the audience gets to see it. Still, thanks for uploading this, I've just finished replaying Underworld and I finally gave in and came to YT to see how it ends. Cheers.
@@screwthenet oily snake phil spencer throwing microsoft money around to screw everyone else over. And he did it again with Rise of the Tomb Raider and the 1 year exclusivity deal... Some people never change.
Imagine if they continued on with the shadow instead of the reboot. Lara's story ended with underworld, but the shadows had only just begun. This could have been so good... :/
This is the coolest thing in any tomb raider game, and I am quite shocked that they never made a spin off for Shadow Lara, as the DLC is better than the main game.
I agree! Imagine this instead of the reboot. They would have made a lot of bank! I loved the doppelgänger, she is so fun, amazing and mysterious. They could have taken this character to so many places. Lara's story ended here, but hers could have just started!
To think I had waited a decade to see these two exclusive DLCs is insane. I'm so happy I finally got to experience this on my replay of TRU after all these years. Shame this trilogy was never continued and was rebooted yet again. I want to know what happened next to the doppelganger. Thank you very much for this video because this DLC is a gem. Would have been even better if it had subtitles because some lines are just way too difficult to understand, luckily I found a video with subs so I just checked what was said there :D
Agreed, though the writers have written themselves into a corner with the doppelganger character. What was there left for her to do? Given her ghastly appearance, she'd probably never fit into society and I can't imagine her working as a secretary in the real world. I doubt Lara would keep her supernatural twin around... there really wasn't much for her to do once Underworld ended. The reboot was unnecessary though, they could've just started a new adventure that wouldn't involve Lara's parents or familiar enemies from her past. Instead, Crystal Dynamics decide to reboot the games again just so they can tell the same old trash story about Lara's daddy issues.
@@laracroftvideos Who says she would have to adapt to human society? I think one Lara on the mortal plane is enough. How about the Doppelgänger's adventures in the Underworld? I would pay to see that. Her trying to find herself/looking for a purpose, while at the same time battling new creatures from the underworld and learning about different mythologies. Her being extremely unimpressed at the bravado of all these long-forgotten gods because of what she experienced. She was essentially the creation of a former queen who couldn't let go of her power and whereas Lara would probably eat that shit up, her Doppelgänger would be like "no thanks, bye". She is just so much more interesting to me than any new TR game as her personality is so different from Lara's. Sorry if this didn't make any sense at all, English is not my first language. Long story short, I would have loved to see more of the Doppelgänger.
Sabrina Na Fair enough, a doppelganger spin-off sounds like a cool idea (certainly better than the Lara Croft co-op series) though I really don’t see it as a realistic AAA title. One Lara is enough imo, there’s no need to put out games with another “Lara” that uses Devil May Cry/Bayonetta-esque gameplay. I did like the character, mostly because she was cooler and less uninhibited than Crystal’s version of Lara (she reminded me of the original Core Design Lara), but yeah - to me, her story was pretty much told and finished in the DLC. I’d much rather Crystal/Eidos Montreal or whoever is developing the games now attempt to get Lara’s character right because that whiny annoying girl in the reboots is not it. Shadow of Tomb Raider killed any remainders of excitement I had for the franchise.
@@laracroftvideos Yeah, you make a good point. A spin off of an already dying (kinda - it's definitely not what it used to be) franchise probably wouldn't do it any good. I would still love to see it done somehow, even if it's only a comic or a book and not a full fledged game because as you said, the current Lara has become quite bland in comparison. I get what they are trying to sell, but it just doesn't work. I prefer a more unhinged version, such as the Doppelgänger :)
I’m glad I get to play the Doppelgänger’s side of the story and realizing how bad she felt for what she did to Lara, her family, and home taking it all back in revenge against Natla and fixing the relationship between Lara and the Doppelgänger is really well put together I really love the crystal dynamics Tomb Raider better than any other games ahead
Only now have I played this for the first time in 13 years and I've known Lara for like my whole life, passed all the games but never this one and Beneath the ashes... It's amazing that what they put behind a DLC had some better story, gameplay and historical setting than most of the games nowadays. Just, it's a shame that you had to pay real money for it, and these mass companies constantly keep profiting out of us... Remastering older Tomb Raider games and continuing the story should be considered in the future definitely, not only does it have a tale to tell but a rollercoaster of emotions and, just that, some mystical feeling behind all of it like, you could get some real knowledge from this games.
she is beautiful and deadly, kind of like Lara Croft used to be, i really do hope the next incarnation of Lara is the sophisticated elusive deadly cold blooded wise cracking enigma that i loved from the original game
This should be on playstation too, and I want a sequel where we see how Lara and her doppelganger working together as besties I like them both now and they could both kick Amanda's ass because she'll try to go after Lara again let's face it.
I wish they would continue the story. What happened to Lara? Her crew? Was the manor rebuilt? Did she retire? Is Amanda alive? The doppelgangers freedom? I have so many questions. They really should make more games continuing with the doppelgänger and Amanda.
I just got an idea that it would be SO cool if doppelganger could use the command too from the moment Lara knew about the "Okh Eshivar" thing - it could be in control of the thralls as well as Natla instead of still fighting them (badass way, I might add)
Köszi a végigjátszást! Az Underworld DLC-k egész jók. Jó ötlet volt a készítőktől ez az alternatív vég. Ezek szerint a Doppelganger még él. Behozhatták volna a Shadow of the Tomb Raiderbe. Érdekesebb lett volna.
i didn't know there's dlc for the game unfortunately i only have the ps3 version, i like the game and the graphic still hold up today , and thank you for the video
They really should consider remaking the classic 2-6 games with Keeley Hawes as the voice with Anniversary’s combat maneuvers. Can they please gift us with that????
Tomb Raider Underworld is connected to legend and anniversary because anniversary had doppelganger,butler and natla and legend have Amanda,Zip,Alister,Butler
Roli's Tomb Raider Channel Yeah, I'm definitely gonna buy TR:U for Xbox One as well as its DLCs! By the way I think that recording this incredible game is like a time travel to 2008!
Quite funny to see people surprised by this content cause it was an exclusive Xbox console-only DLC all along. Many people did not know anything about it or Beneath the Ashes, except for hardcore fans or people who kept up with the game. This is by far one of the coolest and most essential experiences any Tomb Raider fan should have as a treat. It's quite limited and would have been much better if they included the fight scene with Lara or the mission to explode the mansion... but hey, the Shadow powers are the dopest and worth getting a an Xbox 360 (or ONE since it includes retrocompatibitlity), purchase TRU disc for nothing (can be found for very cheap, like 2€ even) and this for 10 bucks and it's totally worth it! It's so different and very satisfying.
Kanzuki Yeah I just bought the Trilogy collection on PS3 but the fact that I'd have to buy the game again on my Xbox One to be able to play the DLC which I also have to buy really sucks
Nice. When i get the chance (my dughter is hogging the T.V. lately playing Persona 5, it's all good though) i'll get this done. Then i'll be onto TR Anniversary as i've already done Legend.
Ok..something is bugging me here…if I’m being dense..tell me..😂.. The doppelgänger says she was ‘born’ there,,aka Helheim..yes? BUT..Natla couldn’t get into Helheim because she didn’t have Thors hammer. The doppelgänger also appeared on the ship in the Andaman sea..BEFORE Natla and Lara went to Helheim.. So how could she have been born in Helheim? see what I mean? 🤔
Y the hell is this only on the xbox version ? like dlc is one thing but y is this exclusive to only xbox. it ties up the last story behind laras clone and even finishes off the villen but you cant even buy this on anything but xbox its soo stupid why would they keep a pritty important mission exclusive to only one platform its just stupid
There used to be a disc version of this bundled with beneath the ashes but it's impossible to find now. You can still buy and download these from the store thankfully.
I really really want play this dlc and i hope i will... but im brazilian and the dlc's of tomb raider u are not avaliable here, so if someone can share this laras shadow or benath the ashes dlc tell me, please hellp me, if u know someone who are disponible to share tell him/her please, i really really want play these dlc's but the only way i have is someone sharing it to me
Playing as doppelganger is really enjoyable, now I fully completed Underworld. A pity both the DLC aren't available in my country. Sure we can buy these in another country xbox live, like US or Mexico, but the point remains. Played it by emulating on PC though.
Make an American Xbox live account and buy them, you'll just have to lug around that account forever to play the dlcs. It's what I had to do since they weren't available for purchase here in Vietnam.
After I played the Lara's Shadow on Xenia emulator (canary branch if you are interested), I fully realized that "survivor trilogy" is a total shit with no fresh ideas. Just clone of Far Cry (not Uncharted. Uncharted is completely linear and has a great scene setting), but with terrible story, effects from Indian films and stupid tender soy girl as a main character, nothing more. I really miss Classic and LAU Lara. And Doppelganger. I'm happy that Crystal Dynamics decided to remaster the original trilogy (I-III) but we really need a remakes of original series (especially Angel of Darkness) and updated version of Underworld (either remaster or remake) with both DLC. Lara Croft deserves a better attitude towards herself than she has now. And, please, don't search the "tomb raider reloaded" if you don't want to disappoint yourself.
I wish my playstation needs to install my PS3 disc in Tomb Raider: Underworld, it should have been it….. Tomb Raider, Underworld: Lara's Shadow And Tomb Raider, Underworld: Beneath The Ashes And I would continue to play all by myself. I'm talking about my PS3, not Xbox. I'm serious
A quick scroll in this comment session'd show anyone what the publisher had to do with the IP. Even another reboot a la super-hero movies would do the trick. Yet they seem to have gotten the message through a mirror of sorts, because they did a hell of an U-turn from what the fans expected. The new Lara is an embarassment to the IP. Lara now seems to have bipolar disorder, the VA talks through the nose, side-characters have nothing to contribute, antagonists are generic goons that are mean because "reasons", there's way too much shooting and killing, and she "hates tombs". Lara. Hates. Tombs. Just to name a few. Until they keep doubling-down hiring the same hackjobs writing the scripts for the last three games, they won't get a fraction of what they could bank respecting the franchise's legacy and fans. At least the art direction and level design was great for what they were given to work with.
Agree with every word here! Another thing that drives me insane - Tomb Raider 2013 TELLS you when you get to SECRET tombs! Like, am I playing as tomb raider or not? Let me EXPLORE!!! Let me find it out myself! (If this is a feature, that you can turn off in settings, still awful idea. It would be better, if this option was turned off and then, if you want to, you can turn it on. If it's not a feature and it just exists - that's far worse) About other games - never played, never will, I don't want to torture myself, I better replay old games!
i felt stupid when i knew that there were two more chapiters Xbox fucking exclusive like what the hell !!!! Microsoft own Xbox so Windows as well ! it was like a parent prefering a son more than an other !!! it s Microsoft Xbox and it s Mcrosoft Windows as well so !!!! it s like the sahring the same mother but not having the same rights !! now i m trying to get it on my pc by any mean !
