I was completely grossed out by Uncharted 4 artificially forcing Drake's sexual orientation into the story with the completely unnecessary scenes of cohabitation with Elena. At first I thought hey, maybe this is normal and they're just good friends, saving money on rent. But NOPE. Predictably, the writers, who are obviously trying to score virtue points with the heterosexual agenda, had to get into the entire straight marriage controversy.
I mean the game was okay so I kept playing for a few hours. But again and again, Drake's straight marriage to a woman was referenced, I think like every other cutscene. I just gave the fuck up and returned this shit to Gamestop. At this rate in five years we're going to have every game be a platform for heterosexuals (Why ARE heterosexuals so obsessed with sex? I mean I'm not against their lifestyle choice or anything, but don't they realize normal people don't build their identity around their sexual orientation?)
And just to be clear, I'm fine with well written straights, provided they are written by straight writers only and represent a meaningful examination of the hetero struggle. Which is why so much of this stuff just comes off as checklist fodder. A game that was about the hetero experience would be one thing. Husbands and wives in something like Uncharted is another, and is unavoidably forced.
