All the time. In every game. Hand-to-hand combat is a major part of all of the games. There are even combos you can do.
Melee is the most basic attack method used throughout the Uncharted series. It encompasses a range of close contact hand-to-hand attacks. The Fast and Furious Combo only appears in Drake's Fortune. This is the most basic melee attack in the game. It involves consecutively pressing five times...

And you're claiming that no soldier that Drake ever fights has ever been instructed in a manner that makes them better than a "good bar-room brawler".
This is the fatal flaw in your argument. It relies on making absurd claims about the Uncharted universe like that Nadine is the only one who was ever trained in hand-to-hand combat.
Unless you manage to stitch up this gaping wound, nothing else needs to be said.
Such as?
Uncharted is a shooter, it's not DMC.
No, it's just using basic action movie logic that like every action movie has had since forever; standard goons are standard goons. Nadine is probably the only expert in close quarters combat that Drake has faced in the series.
I don't even know what you're requirements for these games are since what you call stuff radical that nobody else calls radical. But Uncharted 4 and ME3. Dwarvenhobble had a whole list and going by what they put down; Life is Strange (since the sequel was mentioned), Overwatch (as Battleborn and Lawbreakers were mentioned). I recall some bitching at Horizon Zero Dawn. TLOU2 is the 3rd best selling game in PlayStation history apparently.
Would you drop $300 on something you may not even like?
Yet some on that list were heavily pushed one by a studio well known enough MS gave them a 1 year exclusivity contract.
They were also pushed by a lot of games journalists in lots of articles but they were reported as underperforming.
Sunset got glowing reviews from outlets and coverage but fail to sell copies.
Firewatch was more the result of the developers targeting PewDiePie in the end plus the general "Oh we talking about series stuff in our walking sim game" Attitude.
Lawbreakers was thanks to Cliff shooting his mouth off on twitter in that games case
Hella Cringe. Same reason people were going to see the film Cats mostly lol
Dishonoured Death of the Outsider was a stand alone expansion.
Battleborn was taken out by Overwatch but you know what Overwatch had?
Sexy Butts
There's nothing major on the side of Overwatch vs Battleborn really but players flocked to one over the other.
And others have had other health systems too. Sorry but it became a genre convention and it's a gameplay convention not an Aesthetic one mostly just mostly out of convenience at the time.
Yeh which was funny because of idiots who complained that I think it was Dunkirk didn't have women soldiers storming the beaches too.
Some things are far more obvious.
Do you know the exact reload time or recoil patter of WWII guns?
So what are these games selling so well with Diversity again?
Nah Nadine man handles the pair because Neil Druckman has a femdom fetish. That's why it's shown as so effortless almost.
The arm-throw she uses on Nathan at the start literally wouldn't work as her technique is terrible, To throw him using technique that poor and proper positioning you have to be hugely strong like Strongman contest strong.
Worth pointing out that Nadine is also in Lost Legacy but has no such scenes.
You know what who didn't work as the director? Neil Druckman.
You know what other game Druckman did work on?
The Last of Us Part II
Which features hugely buff Abby beat the Joel then ultimately kill him.
Yeh funny how the game he doesn't direct has Nadine not able to fairly easily take down two grown men by herself yet two Druckman games now features women violently beating up main characters seemingly effortlessly.
What are these games that are so progressive selling well?
Uncharted 4 was the 4th in an ongoing series so which hadn't been going that way before so yeh it likely wouldn't impact sales as people would likely buy in.
How many of the games you're going to claim are "progressive" are sequels in franchises?
I already mentioned these women players already have the systems needed to play said games.
Some of the games I haven't heard of at all yet they were heavily pushed? I'm someone whose currently most anticipated game is Gamedec so I don't just pay attention to major releases.
There's quite a few things Overwatch had over Battleborn. Overwatch was the next big thing from Blizzard, it had the better presentation/graphics, it had the more pick and play nature to its matches as Battleborn was a MOBA. As far as Dishonored 2's DLC, DLC or standalone DLC doesn't sell as well as the game it's DLC of. The Lost Legacy didn't sell as well as Uncharted 4 when it's a far far better Uncharted game than Uncharted 4.
Why did gamers let health regen become genre convention when it makes games worse and also isn't accurate/realistic? Gamers make dumb decisions as a group constantly like how the people that play "hardcore" modes think the game is more realistic when it actually plays less realistic than normal mode and also unbalances all the guns. I know the reload times in real life are much longer.
Listed games that done well with diversity in response to Houseman.
You're criticizing technique in a pulpy action game? Nadine's technique/animations are noticeably different and communicate to the audience that she's skilled. I'm sure there's plenty of moves in action movies that you can find the same issues with.
I'm not a fan of Neil Druckmann because I don't think he's a good director, it has nothing to do with whatever progressiveness he's pushing or not pushing. I knew TLOU2 was in bad shape from this
interview. Guess what that interview has literally nothing to do with? It's not like Abby beats up/kills Joel because she's better or stronger than him, it's cuz her group outnumbers Joel and his brother. Someone wanting revenge on Joel is rather expected, he is a bastard to a lot of people. I already went over this with Houseman, the reason Joel gets killed is so the game can continue with its stealth action gameplay loop. The game was FUBAR from the second it was decided it needed the same gameplay loop as TLOU1.
