Nathan Drake is not a Hero - An Uncharted Retrospective

[@voidjockey82]

To quickly run down how Golden Abyss fits into this essay: • Drake is not a hero but can't help playi g at one Drake starts the adventure once again just looking for treasure and the noteriety brought on by massive discoveries. He for a very long time only continues for pure survival, trying to escape Guerro's militia while also hoping to rescue Dante and Chase. Once he has escaped with Chade and is in relative safety, he only resumes the adventure because of massive personal significance to Chase, the assumption they're too far ahead of Guerro to be caught again and to prevent Guerro from finding the treasure that would finance another coup. Later, when he is in relative safety at Sully's, he only resumes to save Chase, having no delusions about stopping Guerro. Drake refuses Dante's idea of selling the radioactive gold due to massive potential harm. • The adventure is ridiculous Drake manages to escape and massively damage both Guerro's militia and Dante's mercenaries. • The adventure is more realistic The treasure is not in the slightest supernatural in nature but rather radioactive which created the legends of a supernatural force. Guerro is a failed revolutionary from a more unstable part of the world whose forces are the last remnants of his revolution financed through robbery and hostage-taking and as such with rather poor equipment and locations.

He was never meant to be a hero, and he will never be. Just a man learning what he really wants who just so happens to occasionally do heroic things just like normal people do everyday. Edit: The camera guy was a legend.

[@dirtyfighters7751]

“like normal people do everyday.” He prevented 5 world-ending catastrophes (half of which revolving around people succumbing to their greed, in sharp contrast to Nate). I’d say that’s more heroic than “like normal people do everyday.”.

[@superbrian7997]

Ikr… People be making my head spin around like Beetlejuice when they act like Joel Miller of The Last of Us was ever trying to be a hero to the world. In the very prologue of TLOU we see how ruthless and family oriented Joel Miller is. And the narrative never shows him diverting from this mindset. Joel Miller only cares about being a hero to his family and he’s proven to be one of the best at that. He helped keep him and his brother Tommy alive in that brutal world for 20 years. It was a greater miracle that Joel was able to rescue Ellie from The Fireflies than Ellie being immune to getting infected by the Cordacepys. Hell, all Joel did for Ellie’s 15th Birthday was far above and beyond the call of duty.

[@lil_jay7926]

@@Mukation True, most people try and say that he’s a mass murderer, and yes he would joke but like Deadpool he’s more of an anti-hero and he only kills in self-defense, not only that all of Nate’s enemies aren’t good people anyways, even in Uncharted 2 when taking out the guards Nate doesn’t snap the guards neck excepts knocks them out, while he snaps Lazarevic’s soldiers neck in stealth

This is a thoughtful look at the Uncharted Series, and I like it. You forget, however, that Uncharted was created in a world without the quality that it aimed to achieve. No motion capture with facial mo-cap together, no stories written and acted so well, no contextual animations, no graphics on that level. It was, just a game. The first sign that a game could be more. Games need gamey things. The Last Of Us, the more grounded, less gamey cultivation of these tenets, has zombies at its forefront. How can Uncharted be 🎉ridiculed for lightly brushing the subject? The history, despite the modern, perpetually offended prism that you view it through, contains the history of our people. For the vast majority of Americans, European history is our history. I believe Naughty Dog cleverly inserted the stories most ripe for a modern adventure in to these games.

[@dirtyfighters7751]

Hmm… some things to pick apart with this video. - The ending implies that the prior Uncharted games were never deep and were instead these generic power-fantasy safe games where you’re just thrusted into the shoes of this whimsical capable outcast to have fun, which was hardly the case whatsoever. Although one could argue the first 2 did this (and even Golden Abyss), this doesn’t apply for 3 whatsoever. 3’s the game where this newfound purpose of simplicity and lack of ambition first struck Nate, as throughout the game he learns to better himself and overcome his past desires to prove to the world who Nathan Drake is. Take the dialogue you rapidly edited together, for example. Characters calling out the fact that Nate’s pride is dictating his actions more than his level-headedness, that he’s attempting to prove something not worthwhile, and that all these adventures for a simple piece of unattainable and, ironically, worthless treasure did nothing but fuel his hubris. It’s why Elena is the voice of reason, she developed a strong distaste for the life Nate developed a strong taste for, hence why it’s established that they split up after UC2. 4 only moreso solidifies this by showing just how unlike the usual life is for Nate and how he doesn’t favour it whatsoever. The games told much greater stories than just simple treasure hunting extravaganza. - I really don’t see how Nate isn’t a hero. He prevented 5 world ending catastrophes (half of which revolved around how his enemies succumbed to their greed, unlike Nate), I think that should be enough to show that Nate is, at the very least, someone willing to do good if it ever called for it. Looking at these games from the perspective of “heroism” is weird given how difficult these characters are. They’re thieves in their own unique ways, with Nate himself possessing a more desirable will to do good over others. It’s like asking if Joel is a hero, it doesn’t really work within the contexts and is better to just treat them as regular people, as that’s what they ultimately are; regular people. - I really don’t know where the hell all that political nonsense came in for Uncharted 3’s portion. Nate is not in any way, shape, or form a reflection of the icons or cultures used to either kickstart or contextualise the events of the game respectively. He’s just this outcast underdog living on the fringes of society living his passion to the absolute fullest even after UC4. If you weren’t trying to paint a picture of Nate being this weird mirror image of the icons studied in the games then I really don’t know what the point of that portion was given how it holds little merit on its own. Also, Nate didn’t begin to lose faith in Francis ‘cuz he was this corrupt pirate who committed crimes, he lost faith ‘cuz he thought his greatness was for nothing and his motto was a load of bullshite after misinterpreting his demise. Just compare his reaction to the death of Francis to the other pirates of Libertalia, he was as gitty as a school girl to finally meet them.

The thing is, he was a good person but not a hero. He may have prevented huge catastrophes, but he never did that out of the goodness of his heart. He always happened to stumble into his adversaries because they were rivals in his treasure hunts. What drove Nathan Drake first and foremost was the thrill of adventure and greed, not the safety of other people.

[@dirtyfighters7751]

@@Mediados Did you forget in Uncharted 2 where he literally tried to abandon the mission until Schäfer convinced him to defeat Lazarevic and save everyone? Or in the same game where he willingly placed himself in danger to save Jeff (whereas Chloe, in sharp juxtaposition, someone who isn’t actually a hero, was completely against it)? Nate is definitely a hero, just not on the same one-dimensional whimsical “Let’s go and save the day!!” shallow perfect hero type like Ratchet or Sonic or something. He’s leagues more humanised, and so, although he doesn’t *seek* to save people (just as I, as well as almost everyone on the planet, don’t go outside every single day to find someone to save like Spider-Man or something), he’s more than willing to do it if the situation ever arises. In other words, a hero. Just not the typical type you see in more kid-afied superhero media or something.

It was the thrill the call of the adventure that’s what they re ment to do and that’s how they are happy and a one should never give up upon what makes him happy. This game is so important to me as person. I am literrally studying to be a merchant navy officer in part thanks to this game. Because I don’t want to live a normal life. It’s alright living one but there’s nothing wrong with don’t wanting that to happen

Incredible video. I definitely gotta play the Uncharted games ones again. Has been a long time since last time that I've enjoyed myself.

Holy shit, the part where you talk about the boring everyday life being taxing is so real, and it will hit me soon. But I realized I am young and want to see things I have never seen or experienced before. This is my last chance to see it all before I am dead. I can't ride a bike, or know what it's like to jump into a burning building to save a life, or what it's like to have a near-death experience and barely escape, or to get into a real fight and know what it's like to bleed. After I am married or have to settle down, I can't risk it. People are settling too soon, and everybody keeps asking me where my girlfriend is. Well, I am not ready for one yet. I am free to do whatever I want. I am single and have nothing left to lose. This is my last chance to make stupid mistakes and take unnecessary risks. The boring life can wait. I am not ready for it yet .
