Uncharted's success is mostly based on spectacular set pieces and likable characters. Both fall under "good writing".

I'm not sure about that...
EDMIX
Writes a lot, says very little
Not really bud. The game isn't a fucking simulation on "smugglers" and had never suggested such a thing to exaggerate to death the term like this.
All I got from this is its an action game, the person is a smuggler, outlaw, thief, criminal type person annnnnnnd thats it. To fucking even try to add this fake ass "one women army" is to then ask all games in this genre to address how a person can kill hundreds of people lol
Stop man.
It sound fake as fuck and it sounds forced, like you are trying your best to find an answer to something that exist in literally all major action games. The irony, so many games have a 1 person army and the person is like a street thug, used car salesmen lol Snake in MGS series literally has a arsenal of weapons on his person with zero explanation lol I mean, it feels like a leap to go from "solider" to "one man army capable of killing hundreds and infinite pockets" lol
This man dead had a whole bazooka in his pocket lol
So sir, this is a fucking game. Its fake. Its not real and it seems most of us understood this, yet magically we are questioning how a human can kill so many people, in a fake game.
Yea, just like you can run for miles in a fucking game and the person didn't take a drink of water once lol
Its almost as if its fake.... /s
I would be 100% ok with that. With the risk Naughty Dog takes all the time, I want them to be as creative as they want to be. If she's old, good, fat, good, ugly, I'm ok with this. I want the story they wish to really, truly tell, not the by the numbers BS trying to market everyone as some model. I want from their perspective, how they really see her life ending.
YOU PC BRO?!

Even I'm surprised we are still expected go along with the whole 'masculinisation of women' thing. It's tiresome, being constantly bashed over the head with these unflattering, obnoxious, insufferable, mannish, lead characters. Again and again, any potentially interesting mechanic that may naturally exist as a byproduct of a female lead is ignored and cast aside. All vestiges of femininity stripped away. Sexuality and sensuality non existent. Until, all that remains is an unappealing female caricature of a man. Like a child wearing adult clothes. It just looks and feels off. We can all see it, even those that pretend there is nothing amiss.
The reality is, women have been betrayed by modern feminism. Pushing the lie that, to be considered strong and capable, you should adopt masculine character traits... to succeed, you practically have to impersonate a man. It's been an incredibly effective psyop indeed. To have actual feminists out there actively convincing women to abandon their femininity. The lead character in this game is more of the same, she is, for all intents and purposes, a man. She thinks, talks and acts like a man. She resembles a man as well, bold jaw and broad shoulders. Why more women don't find this sorta thing offensive is beyond me. Ever wondered why it's always the insecure women that are so willing to remove all vestiges of femininity from female characters? It's almost like sexuality and sensuality are anathema to those women. It's just sad whatever way you look at it. Particularly so, as we will never experience fantastic strong but feminine characters like Ripley from Aliens ever again.

They have access to the best artists, tech and modellers in the world. They can hire the prettiest model in Canada. We could have had a gorgeous protagonist that female players would want to identify with and male players would want to be with. Women follow beautiful influencers, not average ones. It is a fact.
And yet... the power of many wins ones again.

Nothing Disney does is canon, period. Fuck em. Only canon shit is that of George motherfuckin Lucas.

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Where do The Division(RIP), For Honor, Siege and Ghost Recon Fall.
To answer my own question Ghost Recon falls in the camp of throw everything at it and hope it works.....it doesnt, if any game needs a major reboot its Ghost Recon.

They're military bro Far Cry. The last one even threw in the AC-style loot system which everyone hated.

I need to settle this for the peace of my mind: is Ubisoft pronounced you-be-soft or Uuu-be-soft?

Can't say for sure, but going with their stock after Outlaws had a mediocre launch they might be pronunced You-Be-Gone after a second bomb with AC Shadows
As they are using "a Ubisoft original" slogan it must be the first
