I wager, by Uncharted 5, Drake will be able to fly, cross dimensions, and will have clones of himself fighting over control of the universe. Backstory is NECESSARY in creating a stable story/plot. Otherwise it becomes a make-it-up-as-you-go-along type of story, which becomes hit or miss. I'm not saying you need to reveal EVERYTHING, but there needs to be something to explain his uncanny ability to kill (trained soldiers no less). It's not a matter of realism, its more a matter of plausible fiction. But hey, if your blind fanboy-ism can suspend your disbelief THAT much, all the power to you. |
?? I was just making a note about character development there, I was just rolling off of what other people were saying. I wasn't knocking U2, was just playing Uncharted 1 last night, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. If the same things were being said about a character in some xbox exclusive, I'd probably say similar things.
