The Dark Side of Uncharted Hero Nathan Drake

PlayStation LifeStyle writes: Nathan Drake, the affable star of the Uncharted series and current face of PlayStation, might be the most contradictory character in games.

Affable but yet a mass killer

[BRINGSOCOMBACK]

Oh come on. Even Mario is a murderer from a certain perspective.

Slow day?

Is this another one of those Nathan Drake is so likeable but he's actually a mass killer articles?

Yeah I think I read that already.

It's a game. It would be pretty dumb (and boring) running around teaching the bad guys how to do a resume and looking for work when they're too old to henchmen.

What about Pacman? He's so mean he kills people that are already DEAD! And does it with a smile on his face.

Also, the actual amount of enemies you kill in game isn't supposed to be canon from a storyline perspective. It's there for gameplay.

These people understand the definition of pretend or make believe right, I am starting to think they don't.

Nathan Drake is Love and Nathan Drake is goddamn Life.

Wow, read the article. This guy is reading way too much into this. That's pretty much every action-adventure game out. Why target Nathan Drake. Just my 2 cents.

That's funny there is two elements of a game story and gameplay if the gameplay mirrored the story in uncharted it would make for boring gameplay and if the story mirrored the gameplay it would also be boring so it has to be done that way I understand what they mean thou I often wonder if the characters in games truly understand how many people we kill and then are still happy to see us and not scared but unfortunately that's how it is most of the time story and gameplay rarely interact in such a way

This kinda annoys me, in the vast majority of games the protagonist is a mass murderer and no one questions it. So why do people go on about the same thing just for Nathan Drake?

[Kalebninja]

He steals and kills anyone in his path while making jokes about it. He actually the villain lol.

[gameforall]

Let me guess, so according to this idiots theory James Bond is not only a serial killer but a sexual predator too. Dumbass, its exaggerate fiction for entertainment.

[Spotie]

Yep. Kill off armies of bad guys trying to kill you, and YOU'RE the villain.

[fOrlOnhOpe57]

I think of Drake as more a guy trying to survive.

[coolman229]

Wow. You never see articles like this. And a Playstation website at that. I've only found one other that actually points out Drake's sociopathic behavior.
