Nathan Drake by himself killed nearly as many people as the 9/11 attacks I know for a fact the mercenary business in the Uncharted Universe breathed a huge sigh of relief when they realized Nate was no longer treasure hunting
Nathan Drake canonically has insane luck. Every time he’s shot the bullets miss, even point blank. And the only time he dies in game is when the first bullet hits him.
I hope someday dead meat should do more video game killcounts in the future becuase its pretty boring if its just movies in the horror genre they are tv series and comics that he only did one
I'm pretty sure they stick to horror movies cuz James likes horror. I enjoyed his videos all these years. There are other TH-cam channels that count kills too. They just aren't as popular
@@Mike0405HNate Fillion. He actually made a fan film that’s really good too. I think. The movie is a good adventure movie and I think the casting is fine, under any other name than uncharted. Good movie, bad uncharted movie
TBF, he literally did just get shipwrecked, hadn't eaten, and had been in gun fights the whole day. Also, Nadine was thinner and quicker, so they were never able to touch her.
@@dbzking02in 3 Nathan walked through the Rub Al Khali desert without food and water for days suffering from heat stroke during the day and freezing during night and in the same level he can kill a fully grown man with his bare hands, The shipwreck should have been a minor inconvenience in comparison
I think the idea isn’t that he’s killing innocent people (he kills criminals and killer mercenaries only), but that all he does is kill people by wading into THEIR territory and getting himself into situations that leads to him gunning people down. I mean, he is a treasure hunter, so it’s inevitable, but he does kill a lot of people, even if all of them are bad dudes who aren’t there due to good vibes and good will.
@@MaximumPayine that’s what I tried to say as well. He gets himself into these situations and kills people, even if they are also mercenaries and bandits or criminals in general. H
@@TemmieContingenC ... Uh, how often does bro actually go into anyone's territory? Is the park on the turn of the block yours because all your boys set themselves up there? Who the fuck wouldn't shoot you in the face if you pulled a gun on someone for "stepping on your turf", the park no one can lay claim to?
"You think I am a monster, but you're no different from me, Drake. How many men have you killed? How many...just today? That's it boy! No compassion, no mercy!" Lazaravic to Drake(Uncharted 2)
I’m still annoyed how he pointed out very clearly how Drake is a remorseless killer who has a body count that would make warlords blush but the game sidesteps it and never addresses it cause it would break the persona they want for Drake as a charming funny guy.
I always like to believe what happens in gameplay is like Nate’s subjective POV as a badass hero taking down bad guys, when what actually happens is a lot less bloodshed and a lot more running and screaming “OH CRAP”
Or this is nates subjective pov as a badass hero and what actually happens is a lot more bloodshed and a lot more mercenaries trying to run or surrender
To be fair, he only takes the lives of those who wish to take his life too. Also security guards, though we dont know if theyre the "shoot on sight" kinda guys.
Yeah, in all fairness, the enemies Drake fights don't hesitate to kill him. He frequently gets put into a "him-or-me" situation where he can't negotiate with them. He initially tried to negotiate with Rafe because he, Nathan and Sam were allies before Rafe was consumed by jealousy. He didn't want to kill Rafe at all and wanted all three of them to leave Avery's ship alive. Uncharted as a series takes cues from action-adventure serials where swashbuckling heroes take down bad guys while exploring ancient ruins and finding treasure, especially Indiana Jones. Indy has killed people for lesser reasons than Drake has and no one mentions how heartless Indy can be but everyone calls Drake a murderer. It makes no sense.
Nate didn't kill a single security guard though. The one he threw over the edge of the roof landed in the water, and you can see the guard swimming away.
It's mentioned once at the end of two, the villain in his evil rant at the end calls out how nate isn't any better "how many men have you killed, just today?" And...thats about it
It comes down to ludonarrative dissonance and the suspension of disbelief. Is killing 10 people alot? In a shooter game: not even close. In real life: absolutely and I think most normal people would be traumatised.
i used to like to think he canonnically just knock people out but then nadine talks about how her mercenary has been wiped out in the end of uncharted 4
I think I just realised, or maybe came to a headcanon, but I think the reason Nate so easily believes the bullshit his bro comes up with about the drug lord is only because he himself lived a fucking insane life and was just like “ah yeah sounds reasonable, I’ve done crazier”
*when you have a nice, cozy job as a security guard for a snobby, treasure hunting rich guy but hear that there is an intruder around named Nathan Drake.* 💀
To be fair, I don’t think Nate’s usually in it to be a “hero.” It’s almost always him starting off like, “Oh here’s an opportunity to find a treasure and make some money,” and then he finds out bad people are after it while searching for it and is like, “Well I guess I better stop them since I’m already here.”
In just 12 years he killed 2808 people, an absolute psycho. If he didn't retire from these type of adventures at age 40, he would maybe kill over 5000 people and he only had his first confirmed kill at age 28 or so
Clicked on the video to see how many people Nathan killed and got a quick retelling of the entire story of the series giving me good memories. Pretty cool!
no arthur morgan is a killer but he aware of what he does so does jason brody in far cry 3 everybody treat him like a monster a lot of mass murderer in a video games aware of their action or it just being non canon but nathan canonically kill all those people
@@wingman4759Until you realise bro was the whole reason a city with a lot of people was infected in the first place, logically he has the high ground 😏
What ya’ll don’t get is you can’t take Nathan Drakes body count front the game 100% literal cause it’s LITERALLY impossible for a single man to kill that many people. The enemy count is inflated for gameplay purposes. Yes he kills quite a few, the game acknowledges is, but not HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS per adventure
His kill count is slightly inflated for gameplay purposes as proved by the ludo-narrative dissonance trophy in 4, but it probably is a few hundred as addressed in 2.
I was literally thinking about this during the Last of Us 2 when it came out. People were like Joel is such a bad person no shit it's a apocalypse. Towards the end he began to change and he was still liked in his own regards. Rick and Lee from the Walking dead lasted about a couple of months before they started to become ruthless and brutal too. Lara Croft is a killer too. Literally everybody in any video game is a killer.
bro majority of "heroes" murdered bajilions of enemies in their stories it's either slow story with little to no action or constant action and mountain of bodies
He is kinda like classic Lara Croft just going around killing people with a smile on their face and just returning home without consequences I mean sure those guys are the "Bad Guys" still they just do their job maybe they got a family to feed too not that he cares
The thing about Lara Croft is that she was ligitimetly portrayed as a psychopath. The game embraced its 'badass and action for the sake of it' and that is what's make it good, the thing that bother me is how Nathan refuses to murder Lazarevic, Nadine and Race while he had 0 problems committing mass murder on soldiers or mercenaries that were just doing their job.
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 Yeah that is a issue I often see in games and movies these days you can't bring yourself to kill the big bad like the emperor in star wars but all those who work under them yeah sure slaughter them makes no difference if they have no names Proably the same mindset Dictator's use now where I think about it yeah Lara Croft is a Dictator maybe I should become the next MatPat instead
The games acknowledge that Nathan Drake is a terrible person. Most famously in the second game when the villain straight up asks him how many people he killed just that day. Also you could argue him being an anti hero due to actually doing things for the good of the world.
I like the detail that Nate doesn’t kill any of the museum guards on Uncharted 2 which kind of leads me to believe he has some sort of moral compass, even though he definitely has a little cognitive dissonance…
Yeah, he does only kill people who are in the same game as him (apathetic mercenaries and criminals). It’s just the fact that he gets into these situations
He’s flawed but he is a good man. That’s what I love about his character. At least he isn’t apathetic about it. He also doesn’t kill innocents so that’s good
He got some of the treasure in 4 which helped him buy the scrap company and the beach house?? Depending on the gold they had with them, they had to been worth millions if one even believed they were from Henry Avery's treasure pile.
I would like to point out that the second game did introduce a better sneak mechanic, but it also liked to put reinforcements in front of the exit points, so sneaking through was rarely an option. I remember trying to sneak through shortly after the train crash segment only to be shot in the back as two heavy shotgun guys spawned while i was trying to leave the area. Taught me that it's just best to leave no survivors.
@@internetguy7319Drake is a thief but he cares about discovering the history. All the bad guys he killed only cared about making themselves more powerful.
@@petermj1098Lazarevic literally wanted to be Hitler 2.0 with the power found in Shambala. Drake HAD to stop him. Lazarevic was a ruthless war criminal who was hunted by the government and barely escaped and doesn't hesitate to murder Innocents, notably Jeff, who was already wounded and posed no threat.
Oh man, all four main games are fantastic. The first one is probably the "worst" since the series really found its footing with 2, which has some of the best pacing in any game out there. Lost Legacy is definitely worth playing too!
Yes it I'd talked about. In the second game when drake is arguing with the main antagonist it get brought up. However drake is only killing people who are trying to kill him which makes it self defense instead of murder
Bro Indiana Jones kill count is as big as the population of a village yet everyone still accept him as a chill guy, but when it comes to Nathan Drake everyone suddenly turn their faces
Well, to be fair... He didn't start aout trying to be a hero in the first place and there were many instances where he didn't want to be a hero or villain - he just wanted to live a normal life. He only became a hero against his better judgement at times. His main course of action was treasure that people wanted to kill him over and to stop them from possibly bringing the world to an end, they had to be killed. Might be the worse good guy in some people's eyes, but he's a good guy nonetheless. Besides, if he doesn't have to kill, he won't. Like back at the museum when he didn't want to kill those "innocent museum security guards" as he called them. Either way, him being able to kill entire armies mostly by himself is a pretty impressive feat cause most times it's 1 million vs 1 the numbers usually win. Not with Nathan. Nathan is the legit one-man army with better climbing and jumping skills than Mario. Almost like Batman who also has a lot of kills that no one really talks about.
I reply the Uncharted series frequently,and have no problem with all the killing that Nate does,but every time i play the 4th, i can never stop thinking about it. Its really because he was out of the game,and had a good life being a law abiding citizen even down to not taking the Malaysia Job because they couldn't get permits for it,and how easy for him to just start dropping mercs like its no big deal.
I’m only 1:46 in but Nate’s Mother sure she dies of an “illness” but I hope it’s mentioned what actually happened to her because it’s super important to Nate’s upbringing. It shows him there’s a reason to fight and never give up.
I keep hearing nathan drake is a mass murderer offhandedly from video essays about jason brody, and I got curious enough and clicked on this when it popped up let's see how it goes
I still don’t understand why TLOU2 heavily dived into “murder a lot of people, face consequences and revenge bad” when Uncharted has someone killing so many soldiers and mercenaries, y’know some of them might have families. So why did TLOU2 punish the main character so much for it when Nathan Drake barely gets a scratch?
The Last of Us Part II tries to make a statement about the player doing atrocious things, but the game also won't progress the game unless they do terrible things. The Last of Us Part II is a much darker game than the first entry because Ellie's hellbent on revenge whereas in the first game, she was Joel's spark of hope. The question the game asks the player is "how far would you go for revenge?" Uncharted is a much lighter series compared to The Last of Us and doesn't take itself as seriously.
This is hilariously way more petty than I anticipated 😂. I just started replaying Uncharted 4 this week too…this is gonna be in the back of my head when I play it later. 😭😆
i didn’t realize that comic existed and now i’m actually kind of mad about it because including supernatural elements in an early drake adventure kind of ruins the first game
Considering the uncharted movie it's kinda relatable coz spiderman is actually Nathan drake i mean the parkours kinda similar but the game stands out the movie by a cherry on top
The mass killing is for the gamer not the narrative. check out the trophy in Uncharted 4 called Ludo narrative dissonance it is the difference between what the gamer experiences and what the narrative wants to accomplish! The cannon death rate is probably less than a hundred but that's still a lot!
30:03 i mean, 70 years ago, German guy leading an expedition…it’s en vogue to call everybody you don’t agree with a “Nazi”, but that guy had all the hallmarks of being one of those goose stepping armband wearing fellas.
German, leading an expedition in Tibet 70 years ago? Yeah, definitely Nazi. There’s records of a Nazi expedition to Tibet where they do head measurements to look for the supposed original Aryan.
To be fair, Payday is fully aware of what it is, there's even a song commissioned for the game called "Steal from the rich, give to myself." It does kind of acknowledge that the gang are psychos.

Oh man, all four main games are fantastic. The first one is probably the "worst" since the series really found its footing with 2, which has some of the best pacing in any game out there. Lost Legacy is definitely worth playing too!
Play 1-3. 1 is kinda dated but 2 and 3 are amazing
@@Lifetime10154you gotta play 4 man. I my opinion even better than 2.
@@ThatDude808 I have already played 4. I don’t like the slower gameplay and the beginning of it. It’s great though. 2 is better personally for me
@@Lifetime10154 fair argument i can understand that. Its funny how i instead really like the beginning 🤣
Nathan drake has got to be the most prolific serial killer in history
Uncharted 4 should be a movie
I don't care if he's a mass murderer... I care about the fact Sony doesn't care anymore about this franchise!
Man the Uncharted 4 ost is so good
Yes it I'd talked about. In the second game when drake is arguing with the main antagonist it get brought up. However drake is only killing people who are trying to kill him which makes it self defense instead of murder
Not murder, it's self defense
By murdering…
Keep tellin yourself that
@@lanceelopezz223 so you mean telling myself the truth? Ok!
@@deanjames108a lot of the fire fights are initiated by the enemies so yea sometimes it would be self defense
@@deanjames108 murder is premeditated, not self defense.
Bro Indiana Jones kill count is as big as the population of a village yet everyone still accept him as a chill guy, but when it comes to Nathan Drake everyone suddenly turn their faces
Well, to be fair... He didn't start aout trying to be a hero in the first place and there were many instances where he didn't want to be a hero or villain - he just wanted to live a normal life. He only became a hero against his better judgement at times. His main course of action was treasure that people wanted to kill him over and to stop them from possibly bringing the world to an end, they had to be killed. Might be the worse good guy in some people's eyes, but he's a good guy nonetheless. Besides, if he doesn't have to kill, he won't. Like back at the museum when he didn't want to kill those "innocent museum security guards" as he called them. Either way, him being able to kill entire armies mostly by himself is a pretty impressive feat cause most times it's 1 million vs 1 the numbers usually win. Not with Nathan. Nathan is the legit one-man army with better climbing and jumping skills than Mario. Almost like Batman who also has a lot of kills that no one really talks about.
I've never thought of him as a good guy. At best he's an anti hero
I reply the Uncharted series frequently,and have no problem with all the killing that Nate does,but every time i play the 4th, i can never stop thinking about it. Its really because he was out of the game,and had a good life being a law abiding citizen even down to not taking the Malaysia Job because they couldn't get permits for it,and how easy for him to just start dropping mercs like its no big deal.
I’m only 1:46 in but Nate’s Mother sure she dies of an “illness” but I hope it’s mentioned what actually happened to her because it’s super important to Nate’s upbringing. It shows him there’s a reason to fight and never give up.
she committed suicide
I know it wasn’t the main focus of the game, but for Nate to not have some sort of PTSD regardless of most of his kills from self defense is crazy.
Dude was so happy to tell his daughter about their crazy adventures too lol
I keep hearing nathan drake is a mass murderer offhandedly from video essays about jason brody, and I got curious enough and clicked on this when it popped up let's see how it goes
I still don’t understand why TLOU2 heavily dived into “murder a lot of people, face consequences and revenge bad” when Uncharted has someone killing so many soldiers and mercenaries, y’know some of them might have families. So why did TLOU2 punish the main character so much for it when Nathan Drake barely gets a scratch?
The Last of Us Part II tries to make a statement about the player doing atrocious things, but the game also won't progress the game unless they do terrible things.
The Last of Us Part II is a much darker game than the first entry because Ellie's hellbent on revenge whereas in the first game, she was Joel's spark of hope. The question the game asks the player is "how far would you go for revenge?" Uncharted is a much lighter series compared to The Last of Us and doesn't take itself as seriously.
Yup
because they are 2 different games?
I remember when the old lady died of a heart attack I was like fucking how??
Neil Druckmann demanded it
Is it just me or does lazaraveicz looks like he belongs in a wolfenstein game
This is hilariously way more petty than I anticipated 😂. I just started replaying Uncharted 4 this week too…this is gonna be in the back of my head when I play it later. 😭😆
i didn’t realize that comic existed and now i’m actually kind of mad about it because including supernatural elements in an early drake adventure kind of ruins the first game
fun fact: there are 2 chapters in Uncharted 4 when you can optionally kill enemies
which one is that
"I'll give you two reasons."
My inner Nate: "Uhh... what do you mean?"
My inner dante from dmc: "This partys getting CRAZY"
It's honestly scary how you guys are calling murder "SELF DEFENSE" when it's still murder 😂
13:26 it was the Pinkertons Dutch they ambushed the camp !
No I'm a mass murderer! I was the one controlling him the whole time
honestily you can say that for alot of archeologists, like indiana jones, Lara croft, and even Nico Robin
Wonder what brings these types into the profession 😅
TLDR: someone who is a lesser evil
"Most ancient artefact if all" lmfaoo
He does kill hired soilders tho that are payed to kill people aswell
Stop scraping for answers it's still murder 😂
Considering the uncharted movie it's kinda relatable coz spiderman is actually Nathan drake i mean the parkours kinda similar but the game stands out the movie by a cherry on top
Luck is his superpower
That's just like beloved gta protagonist. Thare all psycho.
The mass killing is for the gamer not the narrative. check out the trophy in Uncharted 4 called Ludo narrative dissonance it is the difference between what the gamer experiences and what the narrative wants to accomplish! The cannon death rate is probably less than a hundred but that's still a lot!
He’s still a badass
Me, an intellectual: Mass Self-defense.
30:03 i mean, 70 years ago, German guy leading an expedition…it’s en vogue to call everybody you don’t agree with a “Nazi”, but that guy had all the hallmarks of being one of those goose stepping armband wearing fellas.
German, leading an expedition in Tibet 70 years ago? Yeah, definitely Nazi.
There’s records of a Nazi expedition to Tibet where they do head measurements to look for the supposed original Aryan.
Imagine this but Payday 2, the payday gang being "Robin Hoods" who just steal shi but then they murder like 40k policemen
To be fair, Payday is fully aware of what it is, there's even a song commissioned for the game called "Steal from the rich, give to myself." It does kind of acknowledge that the gang are psychos.
best vid right here
1:57 nice South Park reference
It probably isn't murder if they were trying to kill him first
That being said though you did make some good points
Do max payne next
👀
@@KingDeschainMax Payne is awesome
Op
Crazy how I am only 17 MINUTES into the video and Nathan already has 700+ bodies!!!!
30:34 this would’ve been a good time for nate to stop the body count
Laura is equally as bad or even worse than drake if you think about it
bro y tf u only got 8k subss this shit funny and entertaining..
nathan never claimed to be a good guy, he's more like an comedic anti-hero. like sly cooper he does good things on the side of an outlaw
12:38 damn this has me crackin' up
this video is great, i love uncharted
