Nathan Drake: *dashing with me to a jet ski under a hail of gunfire* well Penelope that was a close shave but we're hot on the trail to the lost treasure of Zheng He Me: okay but are we ever gonna talk about the fact that you're one of history's most prolific killers Nathan: no

I wonder why Drake sticks in everyone's head as such an incongruous figure. Maybe it's because most other shooter main characters are some sort of soldier whereas he's an Indiana Jones type?

I mean nobody is forcing him to do anything He can just work as a bartender or something, he's not some Commander Shepard figure where lives are at stake if he doesn't step up, he literally kills hundreds of people because they get in the way of his hobby

Right, like I'm sure the brand of archeology he practices is very interesting and and lucrative but the sheer cost in both property damage and human life gets hard to justify after the third or fourth fight sequence in the game

At least with Indiana Jones the idea is generally to stop the Nazis from getting some kind of supernatural superweapon

And yeah the same critique applies to Lara Croft but the lower-poly your adventures are the less incongruous the violence feels And this is why they completely changed her backstory in the reboot

I will say though, having attempted to go back through some of the modern warfare games, they're honestly way more atrocious than Drake even.https://twitter.com/VioletWanderers/status/1343282566707744768?s=19 …

The Violet Wanderers, here, queer, used to it @VioletWanderersSo I recently redwonloaded the remaster of Call of Duty MW2. It's been years since I've played a CoD game and I'm being struck anew by how much this series has likely contributed to the rise of the Boogaloo types and the various militia cosplayers.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 8 likes
CoD's attempts at self-crit and being all serious about the Horrors of War in their single-player campaign storylines are hilarious in how pointless they are

Still, the level of ludicrousness from those games gifted us with Spec Ops: The Line so there is that one good thing that came from those disasters.
