Man. That's totally backwards to me. I thought the cutscene drake was much different than the one in gameplay. He's supposed to be a kinda care free adventure type with morals, but indiscriminately kills hundreds of people. They don't even attempt to give any type of narrative justification for it. It just is what it is, and another thing that bothered me is where the hell did all the enemies come from? I'm supposed to be this great adventurer using my unique skills to access treasure, but every single time the bad guys are standing right next to it. What door did they come in? What are my skills worth if hundreds of peons make it to the treasure before me?

With tomb raider at least they tried to give some story context as to why she turned into a killer and her reactions during the gameplay lend some humanity to all of the ridiculousness she was doing. In combat especially at the beginning of the game, you did feel a bit underpowered and helpless at times especially melee combat. She was a total badass by the end, but at least they tried to give some reasoning behind it. I.e.being caged, almost raped, and fighting for her life.

Older Laura has been through this before which is why her reaction is :manny: this was supposed to be the reason why old Laura was able to just scoff at a T-Rex
:mjlol: they had one cut scene showing her crying after her first kill then suddenly shes a stone cold killer with no remorse the rest of the game. It was very poorly done.


the characters were all stereotypes and cut and paste from a hundred other games. Game had zero personality and the story was piss poor.


But keep getting your anti uncharted talking points from neogaf :dead:

uncharted was a better game at everything. better story,better characters,better puzzles,better game play,better multi player. Uncharted multi player was actually popular. I spent more time playing uncharted 3s multiplayer beta than I did tomb raider in total.

Tomb raider was an okay uncharted game, and a shytty tomb raider game. Its called tomb raider and the tombs are optional. The tombs were a joke.

Not even gonna go through which one was better, but you absolutely can not see one as amazing and the other as trash. That's not feasible.

Even if the explanation was not fully realized. At least they gave one

Naughty dog didn't even try with uncharted. It was just something you're supposed to ignore.

WRONG :blackumad:

She was distraught about all her kills until toward of the end of the ShantyTown when you get the Grenade Launcher. She was losing friends the whole time, which led her to hate them more and more.

Uncharted is overrated
