You can't do it, so you again lie and claim I'm a troll. Own up to what you said before and show me and everyone browsing this thread your reasoning behind your accusations.

That is the ultimate truth! Thank you!
At leas that thread would mostly stay on topic.
I understand how you're feeling, but that ship sailed long ago. Especially when the person who made the thread did not enforce any rules or guidlines and is just letting anyone go wild. I opted to close the thread, but some people wanted to keep the thread open, cuz they were having too much fun.

I think the thread should be closed just on the fact that the He-Man Woman Haters Club are getting really emotional.
You have nothing to back yourself up, same with trunkage, and you result to ad-hominem. CLASSIC tactics from weak and emotional speakers. Even the accusation of projection is not addressed but mirrored - you're all funny to me. I hope you aren't like this in real life with real people.
Please, please tell me you see the irony in this snippet.
At this point, just assume every accusation from him is a confession. He has a terrible pokerface.
I know but the joke was worth it.
In the case of Uncharted it's a prolonged fistfight and the argument isn't she couldn't do it. The argument is she couldn't do it with that level of ease.
Also can't name any movies people criticised for just having women in them?
Technique in a real-world sense and technique in an action movie sense are 2 different things. Usually the guy with pinpoint gun accuracy in a movie is not using proper shooting technique cuz it's a movie. Nadine is shown to the audience as having better technique than Drake. You saying both Drake and Nadine are equally trained? Because nobody would come to that conclusion. I bet Elena has better camera skills than Drake even though she can't even keep the eyes at 2/3s when filming in the opening cutscene of the 1st game.
It worked just fine for Mass Effect.
I'm admitting there's far more unrealistic things about the TLOU world than Abby. Why is Abby such a big deal if realism is your all you care about?
From your own words...
A SHOOTER without a melee option wouldn't be fundamentally different.
Because they're goons, they're nothing but a plot device.
Mooks - TV Tropes
A slang term for the hordes of standard-issue, disposable bad guys whom The Hero mows down with utter impunity and complete disregard. Deadly, competent, loyal, abundant... pick any two. Also called "baddies", "goons", "scrubs", "drones", "small …

It's rarely explained just why they're willing to fight and die for villains who want to destroy the world, or what they get in return. Their life expectancy is on a level with that of the average mayfly, and you have to wonder why they took the job in the first place, especially if master is abusing them as much if not more than the heroes.
That's the joke of the comic strip you posted, I guess you didn't get "it".
Even during Moffat's era that everyone bitched about (the overarching season plots were OK at best), there was some great stuff there (I don't recall if they're only non-Moffat episodes) and I loved Clara as a companion (I know that's not a popular opinion) and her first season w/Smith was a really bad DW season as a whole. I don't think I've liked a single episode in the 2 series that Jodi's been the Doctor. Orphan 55 was one of the worst episodes of TV that I've probably ever seen, it was so bad. I don't at all like the trio of companions either.
The obvious answer is because realism isn't actually what they're concerned about and is simply a rationalization.
Uncharted isn't a shooter, though. It's an action-adventure game.
Ghost Recon is a shooter.
CoD is a shooter.
Serious Sam is a shooter.
The fact is, you can't beat any of the games without melee.
It doesn't mean Drake killing hundreds of people isn't canon. It's even said in a cutscene "How many people have you killed, just today?"
I ask again, what's your evidence that "their hearts aren't in it"? You made the claim, yet you never backed it up with anything. I at least, have evidence.
I like pointing out what people say. Particularly when they say the opposite later
There was another list you made somewhere. I can go get that for you too if you like
Well considering how sloppy Nadine's technique is (as I pointed out) she wouldn't be seen as that good, better than Drake but 2 vs 1being better only gets you so far.
I'm not saying Drake and Nadine are equally trained I'm saying even if Nadine is an 8 and Nathan and Sam are 4's that would still be a fairly even match but Nadine manhandles them like they're nothing pretty much.
Problem being with most of the stuff that would be claimed as most unrealistic they did try to explain it and justify it based on real world things. Yes human Mushroom zombies aren't real but the concept of mushroom zombies is based on real life stuff that effects ants. It's how far from reality and plausibility things fall.
Abby being able to go for what's meant to be months on the road and maintain the look most people not in a post apocalypse can maintain for 2 weeks at most then have to essentially go into recovery mode? Yeh pushing it a bit further than a mutant strain of an already existing fungus happening.
Or alternatively the people defending her just have a fetish for muscle women and are worried they'll not be able to get more wank fodder
What if people are going to play the game of claiming ulterior motives two can do that
No you see you're actually going to have to prove the objections to said properties were women in them rather than carry on the conspiracy theory that somehow I'm against all women lead properties despite bringing up Stargirl and Killjoys recently I think possibly even in this very thread lol. So care to point to people objecting to said properties JUST for having women in them?
I’m pretty sure I said something like: women need to be leads only when they do it the way you like. They need to appease your sensibilities. Anything outside what you like is woke

How many bad movies are here?
Outside of light platforming (that the PSP game allowed you to automate, no joke) and light puzzle solving (answers in your journal), Uncharted is a shooter. Outside of a few forced melee moments, you can beat Uncharted without melee. That was literally your definition of a minor component that I quoted last message.
Ghost Recon is a stealth game. In Ghost Recon Future Soldier you hardly have to shoot anyone, you can have your squadmates do sync shots throughout the whole campaign. Same with the new games like Wildlands and Breakpoint.
Drake's kill count has nothing to do with anything. If Drake killed like 5 people that day, that line in the cutscene still works.
The evidence is they are goons, what don't you get about goons in an action game/movie? If goons behaved logically, you don't got tons of people to shoot in Uncharted, Jackie Chan doesn't have tons of guys to beat up in his movies, the Ninja Turtles don't have tons of foot soldiers to beat up. They exist so action scenes exist. Why are you trying to apply some really weird "realistic but not realistic" logic to a pulpy action game?
There's several scenes just like that in many action movies. You show someone as being skilled (whether using real or stylized technique) = them allowed to beat up people realistically or unrealistically. That's action movie logic.
I'm not even talking about mushroom zombies being unrealistic, I'm talking about all the things the humans do or have happen to them. For example, a much smaller Japanese chick beating up a much bigger, stronger man in Pacific Rim is peanuts vs the unrealistic nature of Kaiju and Mechs fighting on the streets (not something like Kaiju being realistic). Abby being too buff is peanuts to the other unrealistic stuff in the TLOU world. It's called suspension of disbelief.
"Outside of all the things that make it an action-adventure game, it's a shooter"
Your argument relies on ignoring what disproves it.
So your argument is "they're enemies in a video game, therefore their hearts aren't in it".
I don't think I buy that, sorry.
However as you or others pointed out those are generally mooks it's done to not main characters also generally in action films the mooks are taken out of the fight somehow rather than it being a prolonged fight as such
Well in Pacific Rim it's a battle of technique using said weapons rather than brute strength as I said before.
So what aspects of TLOU worlds are that much more unrealistic other than Mushroom Zombies?
