Uncharted: Drake's Misdirected Anger

Every time you center block text, God kills a kitten. And a dolphin. For the love of cheese left hand block that section under the comic, it make my eyes bleed.
OT: Drake is a massive douchebag. I haven't played past the first Uncharted purely for my dislike of the character

I'm a sociopath and I'm ok,
I drink all night and I kill all day.
EDIT: That's a joke, BTW.

"without feeling like a colossal wank-titan striding across the majestic masturbatory landscape of planet Palm "
Oh man, that made me laugh almost more than the comic.

Yeah, I always wonder how much more effective the Uncharted series would have been as a fighting game more akin to Arkham Asylum, so Drake is only beating people unconscious and breaking their limbs, not killing HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE!
I mean Batman is dark and macabre as hell yet he refuses to kill anyone, ever, even in the most extreme situations where any court in the world would agree it is justified self-defence to use lethal force.
Really Drake just needs a better reason for killing all these guys than "wow, sum cool treasure".
Think about how Indiana Jones did it that didn't even kill that many people:
OK, well it didn't SEEM like all that many. But with that huge kill count, the people who died were really bad, freaking nazis, cackling Hong Kong Gangsters or child slave drivers who made human sacrifices.
I always thought Uncharted series would have been better going up against some more evil Villains like Human Traffickers and Nate's girlfriend had been kidnapped and had to save her from a fate worse than death. Yeah, rapists would have to be over there with Nazis as "people you would struggle to care about brutally killing".

Oh yeah, it does too. That wasn't intentional. Well the first part was, prior to the Edit, because I based it on the Lumberjack Song, but the Edit wasn't intended to rhyme.Z of the Na said:
I've gotten use to the heroic sociopath cliche in games but there are still things that bug me in the difference between cutscene and gameplay, 1. Spontaneous mercy I killed hundreds of people on my way to you without a bat of the eye but now I'm gonna grow a heart because I learned his name 2. A character getting hurt in a cutscene for one hit when in gameplay he has enough lead in him to open up gun shop 3. A character doing anything badass in a cutscene that I can't do in gameplay.
That?s pretty funny unlike you I do like drake but yeah this is one of the flaws with his character.
I can agree with that, but for me the Uncharted series is really guilty of this; because every other cutscene tries to show how pacifist and non-psychotic Drake is, but in game play I just broke into someone's legally owned warehouse and killed 20 of their guards unprovoked.lord.jeff said:

Nice to see my relatives are consistent anyway.
Did I tell you about the time my Uncle, Nick Drake, stole his ex wife's dead husbands identity for absolutely no reason.

Descendants of Sir Francis Drake....messed up people.

So I heard that you have issues with centered text
And I decided to make this post next
For every time you complain
You must know that there's one person who will aim
To do whatever they can to annoy you
Just for the jollies of making someone blue.

OT: I've found that I don't usually make the connection between gameplay/cut-scene unless it's a game like Mass Effect. Though it does annoy me, like two previous posters said, when either the player's character does something badass during a cut-scene which I can't do while controlling them, or a Big Bad is destroyed in gameplay and then wrecks the player during a cut-scene. Cut-scene stupidity is one of the quickest ways to get me angry at a video game, and it just happens so often.
