How on earth is that bare arrow on fire?

[–] Grimm@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

I'm more bothered by her trigger arm. Her elbow is at such a weird angle.

I feel like Conrad had such potential. He would have made for an interesting character to actually have around, injured, yes, to force Lara to step up...

But it's so obvious that there's a mentor/mentee relationship there that could have made for some more detailed character work than just "lol he ded, Lara sad now".

Like imagine if Sully died within the first hour of Uncharted 1?

Maybe I need to replay this because I do not remember Conrad at all.

I mean, there isn't much.

IIRC, Lara finds him injured, puts a splint on his leg, fights off some wolves, and then he bleeds out and dies.

I remember him because in the few interactions he has with Lara, he's super supportive, reminding her she knows all the things she might need to know about surviving... etc. They're good interactions.

It's super obvious they are close, that Conrad has unwavering faith in Lara's competence, while she looks up to him as a formative presence in her life.

Basically a really good setup for a character relationship with lots of detail to explore and potential for fun future antics and development... Which all gets ditched immediately.

All the starting ingredients for a series-spanning character like Sully were there, and went unused.

Yeah. That does seem wasteful. Curious what they’ll do with the franchise now. I haven’t finished the reboot series but I think Shadow was confirmed to be the last one?

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yup. Trilogy.

Squenix speedrunning overspending on and abandoning all their franchises.

They should partner with Google lmao
