Seriously, he doesn't have anything that makes him special like magic powers or anything, but he's seriously cool.

He's also badass without being emo.

Naughty Dog did a great job with the character design. You really don't see any characters like him anymore. Too many characters try and be badass, but fail(master chief) or they're just whiney girls(Tidus- ffx).

He won't talk the whole game basically except cheesy one liners.

Bungie definitely failed with master chief.

Not only are you failing hard with the sales statment(you're wrong), but the fact that you're basically saying that sales of a game determines how good it is means you have no intelligence whatsoever.

I wouldnt call Drake a badass. The thing I like about Drake is that he is entirely believable person and reacts to events the way I think I would. He fight the way I would fight and he talks the way I would talk.

Considering most heroes in video games have something extraordinary(superpowers, supersoldiers, advanced training in various forms etc) te chosen one about them I would hardly call Drake an average protagonist.

I personally think that GLaDOS is so much better.

And don't forget about the Weighted Companion Cube!

I don't know much about him, but he seems to be generic, monotonous character in the same tone as Broken Sword or most other adventure game heroes. Also like the RE heroes.

That has nothing to do with Nathan being a better character than MC. So far signs point to Nathan being a cool, witty, and funny character we can relate to. Can't wait for the game to see more of his personality.

No modern game character named Nathan can claim to be one of the best videogame characters ever since they already fail in comparison to Nathan Zachary.

Yeah Frank West owns. But we really have to play through Uncharted to say who is cooler.

He looks and sounds like Xander Crews (Adam Reed)from the adultswim cartoon Frisky Dingo; which gets a thumbs up from me.

They picked the wrong voice actor. The voice dosen't fit the body. When I first heard him talk I was like WTF?!butteater86

??

Wow, I think the voice actor for him is great. Just watched the first 10 minutes of the game and I was blown away with how believable and cool his character is. Also, I was pleased with the humour in it. I laughed 3 times in the first 10 minutes of the game.

From what I've seen(only really the first 10 minutes and the demo) I must say that this is one of the best voice acted games ever. (or has to potential to be)

Yes Drake is a good character considering that most male protagonists in games are overly-masculine douchebags who's dialogue consists mostly of cheesey one-liners.

I would just like to know how that makes Master Chief a better character. Oh, it doesn't. BTW I actually like the MC I just couldn't stand your random statement.

I like how people say he is generic and yet he is nothing like most characters in video games. ie. he is not some super character, he is your average guy.

Usually the best characters in movies are the ones that are the most like us and the most believable, I think drake will be that character.

For those who say that Drake is mediocre, boring, or whatever watch the first 10 minutes of Uncharted. I think he's interesting.

I wouldn't expect most people to recognize a good character if they saw one. The vast majority of gamers here just want to blow things up and don't care about story. That's probably why they think MC is a better character than Nathan Drake. Apparently anybody who isn't overdosing on steriods and doesn't spout macho bravado every 5 seconds is a "forgettable character".
