It's not a case of who would defeat who in a fight, it's a matter of who the better adventurer is and Indiana has them beat...plus he came first so...

Gotta love how they gave Lara croft the character point, because Nathan Drake isn't perfect and makes bad decisions, yet I'm pretty sure Nathan never almost brought about the end of the world like Lara did in shadow of the tomb raider

[@wilhelmvonberghoff175]

Well then again I don’t really know any Uncharted game where Nate received a ton of power or used anything like that unlike Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I mean the closest encounter that Nate ever had with something that could make him “invincible” was maybe the sap of the Tree of Life, which can make you become immortal.

I think Lara Croft and by extension, the Tomb Raider video game franchise, is what everyone wished they'd be if we were to become a treasure hunter. Famous, successful, etc. But in reality, we'd all be Nathan Drake, just flying by the seat of our pants, seeking greatness from small beginnings, in lands Uncharted.

[@xxMasterCJ21xx]

Great use of the quotes haha

[@hardcorevictor2552]

Well, it's more captivating and intriguing to be in Nate's shoes than Lara. Nathan started from nothing as Lara was already the heir of a rich archeologist.

[@Kibatsume1]

​​@@hardcorevictor2552well unfortunately they changed that in the reboots. Though I suppose it could be said. The first movie is what did the most damage to her game story. The original Lara Croft when the game's first came out for PS1 and PC came with background information. she was disinherited by her father for refusing to settle down and be a proper lady of high society. She chose to get a job as a writer and rented a ran down apartment. She raided tombs for sport. Not out of daddy issues 😂 They changed it trying to be more modern? more sympathetic.? perhaps thinking it would make her more of a strong female? On top of the more recent reboot cashing in on hunger games success?Who knows But essentially we went from a strong female character who chose her own path in life to A father who is an archaeologist, daughter who hates tombs yet felt compelled To follow in her father's footsteps , Constant whining .while sneaking around pretending to be katniss everdeen 😂

A classic that didn't go well opus after opus and had to get inspiration from the "experience" to come back, while every Uncharted game launch is to the PS what Zelda is to Nintendo.

[@DarthOminis]

Nathan Drake is more relatable. He makes mistakes and he accepts them. And while it's not like anyone is about to be attacked by Indonesian pirates while looking at Sr Francis Drake's coffin, Nate has loads of relatable things. He has awkward moments, outright downfalls, and some of his decisions stick with him forever. For example, not pulling Sam up in time haunted him with his 'death' for 15 years. Meanwhile Lara is always doing things right, never interested in anything except treasure-hunting, whereas Nate has a love interest, and now a kid.

[@BlazerK1914]

[@RasheemBillion9799]

Personally I love tomb raider . Me personally I love tomb raider since I’ve first played anniversary on ps2 then legends on Xbox 360. Tomb raider tho has been an wonderful adventure, the older games were good and overall fun to play. However with uncharted, the characters I like is the brotherly relationship between Nathan and Samuel Morgan/ drake. The uncharted series was good not masterpiece like last of us 1 but good. Tomb raider reboot trilogy series was air grounded, darker which intrigued me by the start, I love Lara Croft. I like Nathan drake.I don’t care who likes who or what’s better or what whatever… I love Lara Croft and I like Nathan drake.There’s no good and bad truths. Y’all opinions have zero affects on how I love these characters. Though I like uncharted, the watchdojo is true to his research, uncharted has been inspired by Indiana jones and tomb raider was created way back in 1996, I miss the OG Lara Croft, but I love the newly rebooted soon unified Lara Croft. She’s like the female version of Bruce Wayne/Batman mixed with Indiana jones and being a archaeologist and tomb assassin, and she’s very beautiful. I’m more invested in the tomb raider reboot trilogy series because Lara Croft has more deep affection of her character development. She’s like playing a female Batman/ Indiana jones like character. Uncharted is a good franchise but sometimes I do often get bored or uninterested in the games. The games have excellent storytelling, but it’s doesn’t interests me at all. It’s bland, boring and it’s like the pirates of the Caribbean. And this is someone whom played all 4 uncharted games. It’s too realism and grounded with no supernatural elements that feels more entertaining than watching people looking for treasure. I don’t understand why people like uncharted? It’s all pirates and treasure. Tomb raider is tomb raiding with cool military organizations and supernatural elements like creatures demons etc. overall this rivalry between the two is stupid, they’re just video games. I don’t fuck with uncharted what much as a lot of video games. I don’t give a fuck about other peoples opinions. I love tomb raider. Though I believe uncharted has better graphics and gameplay, the tomb raider reboot trilogy is superior when it comes to narrative character development and open world with beautiful cultures and religious elements in a globetrotting adventures. I like both but 100% Tomb Raider is superior. It’s an OG everlasting pop culture.

Also if you look up TOMB RAIDER:ASCENSION it seemed tomb raider was taking a more horror approach and more so based upon the film rhona mitra (original model for classic lara Croft) did.

Tomb Raider paved the way for graphics, gameplay and female characters. Lara was also the first 'celebrity' video game character and kind of changed the public's perception of video games being not only for kids. Uncharted didn't do anything new (that doesn't mean it's bad). But without Tomb Raider, there would be a big butterfly effect of how the game industry developed. Without Uncharted? Nothing would really change

[@utisti4976]

I think Uncharted refined Tomb Raider with a different feel.

For me uncharted is the best because it’s a memorable franchise. Tomb raider is really good but after the final game in the franchise is completed… It was left with some potential for being a memorable franchise.

[@claycowan1989]

I prefer the older Tomb Raider games (specifically the first reboot starting with Tomb Raider Legend) as opposed to the new ones. Lara Croft has become melodramatic like nearly every video game character these days. I rather just play with a cool character and learn about them through their actions, not through painfully long cutscenes. The classic Lara was cool, unique and left an impression, while the modern Lara is just as bland as most modern vg protagonists. Plus there's barely any raiding tombs in the latest games because they try so desperately to be a "character driven" game.

[@ezioauditore7759]

Actually one might argue that most video game protagonists these days are way more interesting and complex than they ever were before. And that's because we are in an era where even in Video Games,the gameplay isn't everything and not enough for most people to cough in 60 bucks. Now their stories and characters matters as much,if not more in a lot of cases. Mass Effect,Gta,Rdr,Uncharted,God of War,Lou,Spiderman,Witcher 3;these are all games with pretty stellar gameplay but that's really not what they are remembered for because now video games have evolved to a point where they are at par with movies and tv shows when it comes to pure storytelling. Now getting into a more subjective area,I think the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy is also a good example of good storytelling and character work. Not trying to start an argument here but Lara Croft before was mostly a copy paste of the generic male action heroes famous at that time. I do admit that she was a fairly entertaining character due to her sarcasm and wit,but that is also like the most overused and easy to write character trait in history. And to some people she was merely a sex symbol,which the games surely didn't try to hide or not take advantage of. Now I don't feel like explaining why the current Lara is a much nuanced,layered,unique and well written character because this comment is getting too long,but atleast imo,being as big of a gamer that I am,I really don't know any vg characters who are similar to her or have even went through the same arc as her. Again,not saying the current Lara Croft is the best written character ever in a video game...but she still holds up pretty well on her own and does the job of what a good character should do in a story. If the old Lara Croft worked for you then thats great,I am not against that...but I will atleast share my thoughts on why I like this one more. I also do believe Uncharted and Tomb Raider should be tied in a comparison.

[@mrjorenasuncion]

@@ezioauditore7759 That's why they should stop creating Tomb Raider. I'd rather have it stopped and have its legacy saved, than make it a generic character driven type of game because Tomb Raider is never about that. It's not about CHARACTERS. Gamers these days are obsessed about characters. I'd rather have TR dead than have it altered beyond recognition just to appease the mainstream audience. I don't trust mainstream audience because they like generic games. Games that only ever focus on storytelling. If it was another game, and if they named it differently instead of Tomb Raider, I'll be fine with it. I don't understand the need to use the "Tomb Raider" name when all they did was to butcher it and has 0 resemblance on how a TR game should play. Sad that they have to rely on an existing IP when they could have just easily create a new franchise.... Instead there's a plethora of modern gamers these days who trash the OG TR games and make fun of it, and we have this classic vs reboot fan wars. Also, classic TR fans can no longer make an argument about reboot TR game without the reboot fans feeling personally attacked as if it's them who were being criticized.

I like both franchises and I for me I will stick with both. To me they both are good.

[@cradle177]

Tom as Nathan is the biggest miscast I can remember in a long time 😐

[@RareHarmony]

Agreed! I mean the dude is not even British. WTF. Neither is Batman, but there ya go.

[@mohamedfawzy5843]

@@RareHarmony I think Robert Pattinson showed us in the trailer that he can be a good Batman. I agree with you that Tom Holland was a miscast for Nathan Drake, despite i enjoyed the movie alot because of its good storytelling like Red Notice.

[@RareHarmony]

@@mohamedfawzy5843 From what I have seen I have to disagree. Nothing against his acting but his personality it is too bland and dark (yes I know that Batman should be dark, but Bruce should definitely develop feelings and personality,) and Tom is well, a tiny british kid. Pretty much the opposite of Nathan Drake.

[@mohamedfawzy5843]

@@RareHarmony Yes i know that Tom doesn't fit the character of Nathan Drake and i would rather have Jensen Ackles or Sebstian Stan or even Chris Pratt as Nathan Drake, eventhough the movie was enjoyable like the Rock Blockbuster movies not because of the cast, but because of the storyline.

[@mayuthedemon33]

Loved both of these

[@jediclonekag13]

I will always love both of these treasure-seeking, action-packed franchises, but it was obvious that "Tomb Raider" would triumph over "Uncharted".

[@ssqyxj]

Tomb raider the best ❤❤

[@wild_harbor]

Uncharted gameplay is way more fun with the set pieces etc.

[@thebalderthor4884]

Not in a million years is Lara more interesting a character than Nathan.

[@NiGHTS1980]

I grew up with Tomb Raider so i'll always have a soft spot for the series and the recent reboot was amazing with a lot more depth to the gameplay. Uncharted has great story telling, acting and action set pieces and is amazing in its own right for its immersion into its world. Theres probably a tad too many put your controller down and watch moments in Uncharted though and not as much depth to the gameplay as Tomb Raider. Both are awesome series though and I hope they keep making them.

[@alexandrenabais6053]

I love both so much, but for me Tomb Raider the W here. I actually think in terms of story telling Tomg Raider is better. I was hooked from the start at every game of the trilogy, where's the first 3 uncharted games are hard to enjoy from the start at least for me, not to mention the rest of those games. Uncharted 4 and 5 are so f******* good tho. It's hard man, but Tomb Raider is better at least for me. Heard a new one is on the way so i cant wait. Hopefully one day we get a Uncharted 6.

[@alexhidalgo7110]

Uncharted absolutely

[@greytakerrev7147]

Yepyepyepyepyepyepyep!!!!!

[@GenisysPrime]

Me too man!

[@6paths988]

Yessir

[@vinylknight]

My friend was like fan of Uncharted, until when a movie trailer came up, he completely shook his head and just kept saying "no, forget it"

[@knightofarkronia8652]

Are you guys doing this because of the new Random Encounters video?

[@Spiderman-yf2gf]

Tomb raider is greater than uncharted in every aspect for me

[@trexadvent4726]

Which one of these two movies do you think is exciting and worth watching?

[@skad5971]

As a Tomb Raider lover, Uncharted is worth.

[@Hear.myvoice]

If you love Fast and Furious you should watch Uncharted. If you love the reboot TR you'll like TR movie too.

[@srksharma8199]

Uncharted all day.Better action,better characters,better set pieces,more emotionally invested story and gameplay.Challenge to anyone who thinks Tomb raider is better to show me one action sequences that matches the uncharted 2 train action sequence, helicopter sequences,The plane sequence in uncharted 3 and the chase scene in uncharted 4?

[@devantethedcguyreactstoo252]

As a 90s baby I really grew up with tomb raider and loved the games, never completed them but was always fun to play, uncharted on the other hand is cool. And basically I saw as a male version of tomb raider but . looking forward to seeing uncharted soon

[@gamerlordthebest]

I’ve only played the new tomb raider games but all the uncharted games

[@navyzaid]

You forgot Soundtrack , uncharted theme come always in my mind and start humming the tune

[@otaku-nakama-j-a-dre]

Tomb Raider is my favorite adventure game series. I finished Rise of Tomb Raider now I wanna play the 1st game and Shadow of Tomb Raider.

[@ClasherEshan]

Tomb raider is best

[@garveyneal1672]

What happens if you combined Tomb Raider's Gameplay, hero, and legacy mixed with Uncharted's Storytelling and Supporting characters?

[@JozefLPslovakia]

That's what we will never get from Tomb Raider sadly.

[@hinalocalexchannel3942]

In terms of gameplay Uncharted for me, there are so many big moments in uncharted like in uncharted 2 the train scenes, in uncharted 3 the airplane scene and horse chase scene while in uncharted 4 the chase scene rescuing sam from ambush and who can forget that the collapsing of the building scene. In terms of add-on content or DLC, tomb raider wins especially Shadow of Tombraider. But I love and played both of them.

[@terrymcginnis2878]

Uncharted, Nathan Drake is a much more compelling character with a great set of supporting characters with Elena & Sully

[@pablocato]

they forget an important fact, uncharte with nathan has already died, the saga was closed in the last game, instead tomb raider can continue for many more stories, a tomb raider game with an open world to horizon zero dawn would be epic .

[@spider-man7438]

Idk if I agree here. When I played uncharted, it left an impression on me. I liked the story, the characters, the cinematic gameplay, the mechanics. But tomb Raider felt like it had no personality and was forgettable.

[@brywrite27]

I have an easier way of making this list, Tomb Raider came out first and therefore Uncharted copied off of Tomb Raider and almost every single kind of way therefore Tomb Raider is better the end it's the original nothing can beat Tomb Raider

[@angelrivas1273]

if I had to choose one uncharted would win because the characters are so likable and you’re just rooting for Nathan to win although you’re the person that’s playing Nathan

[@Laracroftvictims]

Obviously tomb raider wins its not even a competition 💀

[@vijayjeeva3083]

Please bring new tomb raider game

[@Thrillseeker8922]

Old Tomb Raider > Uncharted > New Tomb Raider

[@jayseepea]

this is the right answer

[@Alexindiegamedev]

I prefer Tomb Raider

[@robertbouley7697]

Grew up playing TR; big fan of both franchises. Uncharted is significantly better. It’s not even close.

[@Triangulito360180]

Best Story: Uncharted Best gameplay: Tomb Raider

[@jairusdavis4564]

Uncharted is 🔥🔥🔥

[@jacobramirez2184]

AS USUAL WATCHMOJO GETTING PREDICTABLE AS ALWAYS!!

[@CommanderShepard-wq3wo]

After playing all 3 Tomb Raider (reboot) games and Uncharted. I have to say, I prefer the gameplay of *Tomb Raider* over *Uncharted* any day of the week. Namely because the enemies of the Uncharted games are so f^ck*ng annoying to k*ll. They make sudden, weird, highly unnecessary moves making them annoying to kill and more of a chore to kill them than an obstacle or challenge to over come. I NEVER had that problem in Tomb Raider. Example, they would run right past me about a good 5 feet away, stop, turn around, and shoot a few times then run for cover somewhere else. It’s happened way too many times. OH! And landing clear headshots that should’ve killed them, didn’t register in the game. Wasting more of my bullets and breaking consistency in the game. This happened way more in U3 than any of their other ones. And that right there has taken the fun and replayability of the games for me. That and TR has better weapons to play with. Thats not up for debate. You can even customize them to fit your playstyle. Though admittedly, from TR2 - TR3 did drop in quality, story wise. The 1st being the best. And I probably played it from start to finish at least 5 times. PS3 and Definitive versions. Rise of The Tomb Raider was almost if not just as good as the 1st. Especially in gameplay. Shadow of the Tomb Raider was very…meh. Didn’t enjoy no where near as the 1st two in the trilogy. That being said though, I enjoy the characters from Uncharted over the characters from TR. I love Nathan Drake more than Lara Croft. Though I care more about Lara, of that makes sense. His charisma and wit, makes him so fun to spend time with and makes the Uncharted worth playing Despite the frustrating gameplay. Especially in 3. Elina Fisher, Sully, Chloe Frazer, Charlie Cutter are all brilliant characters and made more of an impact than any of those in TR. And I enjoy the Uncharted story overall over TR.

[@patrickbateman556]

The story & gameplay was better in Tomb Raider Legend than the 2013 prequel not "reboot", and yes her character was weaker in those.

[@ladylaracroft9647]

TR2013 is not a prequel. It’s a reboot. TR legend was also a reboot. The survivor timeline is Tomb Raider (2013) Rise of the tomb raider Shadow of the tomb raider Legend timeline: TR legend Tr anniversary Tr underworld Lara Croft Guardian of light Lara Croft temple of Osiris Lara Croft relic run Both timelines have a completely different Lara and origin for Lara. Also the classic timeline (which is a total of 9 games from 1996-2003) also has a completely different origin and Lara All together their are 3 different tomb raider timelines

[@theguyinthere]

i think if anything they should do a crossover between tomb raider and uncharted

[@SavageP.9000]

People say that if we didn't get Tomb Raider then we wouldn't have gotten Uncharted but the truth is that if we didn't get Indiana Jones then we wouldn't have both Tomb Raider and Uncharted.

[@dyloosutherland3075]

Bit of an editing era there you put a scene from uncharted 4 as uncharted 2 great video though

[@Angelthecupidgirl]

I think tomb raider is just a classic and the game reboot was amazing and the movie did a good job of capturing that gaming experience. Uncharted is good too but i think i’d have to prefer tomb raider imo.

[@holty1314]

Just came back from the cinema, perfect

[@professorchaos5058]

And yet we never got a crossover

[@Zhello79]

5:50 lol I remember this

[@mrdth1987]

1. Classic Tomb Raider 2. Uncharted 3. New Tomb Raider 4. Tomb Raider Legends
