Resolution 2: Stop Breaking Shit
This is equal parts Nathan Drake’s fault and equal parts Naughty Dog’s fault, to be fair. But given that Uncharted is basically Indiana Jones: The Game(s), one would think that Mr. Drake shares the same sensibility as Professor Jones and would not want to leave so much chaos in his path. He’s got the history knowledge and personal experience fit for a teacher or archaeologist (pending some background checks).
But alas, no. Over the course of Uncharted’s sequels, Drake gets a village blown up, sinks a cruise ship, breaks into a museum, and causes a clocktower to collapse. Even worse, his presence leads to multiple firefights and explosions in Madagascar, and in the ultimate dick move, he and his brother Sam look at the chaos and destruction they cause, then laugh and drive off into the sunset. One understands that time is of the essence, but maybe we could scale back the ruin in the new year.
