Here we have two characters very similar in what they do.
Where Lara has the advantage of experience by having a franchise that has help defined the genre, the Uncharted franchise has taken those type games to a new level.
When these two face off, sparks will surely fly.
Who wins?
Loading ...
This hasn’t come up yet? I’m chocked to be honest.
I give this to Nate. While Croft is more agile then him by a slim margin, Nate is pretty damn good at gunplay, not to mention a damn fine fist fighter.
So what is Drake’s standard arsenal? AK-47 and Beretta 92F? The arena could make all the difference in this battle.
I say Lara could seduce him then finish him off while he is……distracted. Don’t underestimate the power of sexyness!
Isn’t Nathan’s standard gear outdated? Anywho, i see a Naked lara winning this…in stockings…never know what’s in dem stockings
“Isn’t Nathan’s standard gear outdated? ”
as far as I know he uses modern weapons… although his standard gear is one pistol as opposed to Lara’s two, but he has as much luck as MC
“I say Lara could seduce him then finish him off while he is……distracted. Don’t underestimate the power of sexyness!”
You know this argument reminds me of something. Oh right, it’s the type of argument you get in a Xena thread.
Drake might love the ladies, but he;s hardly a moron who will drop all other thoughts when confronted with boobs.
@Asger- I wasn’t being serious. I honestly don’t know who would win because ive never played uncharted of any lara croft games. I know more about lara though.
What do we define Drake’s arsenal is? He depends on all the weapons dropped by enemies in his fights, but usually starts off with an Ak-47 and a Beretta 98FS(i believe that’s the name). So, we go with this layout?
Anyway, I was never a Tomb Raider fan, but isn’t Croft a woman at the absolute peak of human capabilities, efficiently dispatching everything in her way? Nate is great at both fistfights and shootouts, but luck, plot armor and a stupid level of resilience are just as big parts of his formula.
I always thought Nate’s standard loadout would be just the Beretta as it is what you have whenever you die and respawn…
“I always thought Nate’s standard loadout would be just the Beretta as it is what you have whenever you die and respawn…”
Huh? I thought it was whatever weapon you had when you died, although been a while since I played the game though…
“Huh? I thought it was whatever weapon you had when you died, although been a while since I played the game though…”
I am not sure, but nonetheless, you have to attain the AK-47, so I would not consider it part of his standard loadout…
As likeable as Nate is, I think he deserves a beatdown for choosing Elena over Chloe, seriously why?
Also Sully wins over everyone.
“As likeable as Nate is, I think he deserves a beatdown for choosing Elena over Chloe, seriously why?”
he had feelings for her whereas Chloes relationship with him was strictly physical, at least to him it was?
and I agree Sully is awesome!!!!
“and I agree Sully is awesome!!!!”
Add me to the list, I love that guy.
“As likeable as Nate is, I think he deserves a beatdown for choosing Elena over Chloe, seriously why?”
The first girl wins: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FirstGirlWins
Anyway, Lazaravic, anyone? No plot armor for Nate this time around.
Personally, i prefer lara for her……. (clears his throat) assets. Her beautiful beautiful assets.
Croft takes this. At least I think, but I dunno too much about Drake.
I think Lara has tons and tons of more experience, According to the Legend bio, she survived a plane crash in the Himalayan Mountains and made a 10-day solo trek to Katmandu as a child (probably from 8-12 years old). Later at 16 she went with a Professor Von Croy to Cambodia, running through some ruins. At the same age she went to Ireland and encountered some freaky sh*t like demons and a talking zombie tree…
She’s found the following artifacts, places, etc.
Bestiary
Ark of the Covenant(before the events of Tomb Raider I).
Bigfoot (before the events of Tomb Raider I)
Philosopher’s Stone
Atlantean Scion
Dagger of Xian
The Golden Mask of Tornarsuk
The Iris (Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation/Tomb Raider Chronicles; first discovered in Cambodia, recovered from Von Croy’s V.C.I. Headquarters
The Meteorite Idols (Infada Stone, Element 115, Ora Dagger, Eye of Isis and Hand of Rathmore)
The Spear Of Destiny
The Armour of Horus and Amulet of Horus
The Obscura Paintings, Sanglyph and Periapt Shards
Excalibur, Lancelot’s Shield and Ghalali Key
King Arthur’s tomb
Thor’s Hammer, Thor’s Belt and Thor’s Gauntlets
The Underworlds
The Thrall artifact
Excalibur could take care of Drake pretty quickly too… if not her wide assortment of weapons.
Feel free to correct any mistakes or anything I left out which I probably did.
A gunfight is a tossup. She can kill the guy, granted, but this man mows down a few hundred people on a daily basis when he’s on the hunt for stuff. It is never a good idea to end up in a shootout, as that is completely random. Based off what I’ve heard, Croft is a more fantastical/over the top character, and hence I’ll give the match to her. But you can never be sure with Nate.
@Whacko
He would probably attack first, because as shown in the first Tomb Raider and Anniversary, she doesn’t like to kill other people. (Well, excluding TR2 and TR3) She has remorse so Nate could possibly catch her by surprise, but if he misses he’s a goner (she pretty much attacks anything that attacks her first or seems hostile, so if Nate hides his hostility he could land a bullet in her brain)
Of course Lara’s instinct could be put into use here: she’s always aware of things going on, or if she has a bad feeling, her stubborness will probably get the better of her.
Why is this so unpopular, dammit? Croft is supposed to be an extremely popular character, and Uncharted 2 is hands down one of the best games of all friggin’ time. And a grand total of 19 comments? When FR vs GE got 400 in approximately 2 seconds.
This blows.
you know… I suggested it cuz I thought it would be popular… guess not
well then Nate for FP by way of being a lucky bastard
Lara while good at what she does is an acrobat and adventurer by nature. Nathan is a gun fighter and brawler who just happens to be able to move well enough to make it through a tomb/dungeon.
While if it came down to finding a treasure first or a race Lara would win. In a fight? Nathan.
That and the two series are too vastly different. Uncharted follows a more realistic view on human movements whereas NOTHING in Tomb Raider is even close. like 12 foot jumps and shooting accurately while flipping around in slow motion? Nah, don’t work.
@CIDE
If she can shoot with deadly accuracy while flipping around I’d say that gives her a chance?
In all aspects of what you said, it’s true, she’s an acrobat and adventurer and brings her guns hoping she doesn’t need to use them. If Nate’s a gunfighter and brawler he has a good chance even with the flipping deadly accuracy thing.
Okay, Lara Croft would win without a shadow of a doubt. If it were a race to find an artefact, then it would be pretty even. They’ve both found some very powerful artefacts, but Lara is just more agile and more experienced.
In a fist fight, Lara would win. Yes, Nate is pretty tough, but Lara Croft is like a bloody monkey. She can backflip and sideflip and do all this crazy shit that Nate would never be able to dream of. If falling on the floor and saying “Oh shit” is gonna win a fight, then hey, maybe Nate would get somewhere. She’s just better at fighting, all Nate can really do is punch people.
In a gun fight, Lara wins again. She’s too talented with her twin pistols, and Nate doesn’t even have any of his own weapons. He just scrounges them off the floor like a rat. When it comes to combat, Lara will always, ALWAYS beat Nathan Drake.
Plus, Tomb Raider just completely owns Uncharted.
Nathan wins this
Lara wins this.
Drake for the win .

nathan falls out of a plane a few hundred feet above the ground,was hanging from a derailed train in the himilayas with a massive bullet wound in his chest, and his a great brawler and shot with skill in stealth laras f*ked nathan wont hesitate to kill.
“nathan falls out of a plane a few hundred feet above the ground,was hanging from a derailed train in the himilayas with a massive bullet wound in his chest”
You just said everything and how about the big fat ass judger nots he fight lol .
Nathan for FP Award … Need more votes anyone?
“I say Lara could seduce him then finish him off while he is……distracted. Don’t underestimate the power of sexyness!”
Hahahahah
I’m deninitly giving this to Drake. He’s an expert marksman and can fight like badass. Plus he’s super stealthy and can pull off some assassins cree/splinter cell bullshit. I mean he couldn’t beat batman but I think he’d fuck her up. And he doesn’t have remorse about killing people.
His fists can kill fully armored mooks who take RPGs t the face.
/thread
I say Lara wins.
4-1 in the favour of Drake www.youtube.com/watch?v=RswxxH_a9wo 3:00

Agree or we should wait until new Tomb R comes out maybe then it should be more equal .
I think that Lara has handed far more threatening things than what Drake has faced.
A T-rex for example, and supernatural crap, I don’t like Lara and I like Drake because he is more into the real department unlike Lara, but come on, don’t tell me that Lara can’t beat somebody that isn’t able to surpass her training course, hell it would take him weeks to just pass that, and Lara is a better marksmen than Drake, and she got a hole load of games to back up those feats.
Even if Lara wins this, I like Drake way more. He’s such a badass.
For me this is like putting Rambo vs the Hulk, I like Rambo better but one cannot just ignore the scale of power on the fight.

Don’t underestimate Drake
! I played every Uncharted game and in Uncharted3 he walks For 2 to straight days and night in Desert without food water and any help That’s quiet a feat he actually above peak human in stamina. And how in Uncharted2 he walks in the Snow while bullet penetrating inside his torso and the juggernauts he fights with ease.

Yeah his awesome.
I also know Drake, as well as Lara, but that can’t be better than running, jumping, climbing, wall running, fighting some living statues all in a row, and then fight a bunch of raptors and killing a T-Rex at the end, followed by more running, jumping and shooting etc…..
I just never seen Drake shoot 4 bullets while doing a back-flip 10 times straight, but Lara does.
If somebody is being underestimated here then that would be Lara, Lara is just to off the real department on her games, maybe if the game would adjust things to real world physics then we I would imagine Drake winning more of the fights against her but there is nothing else but the non-logical Lara, sorry.
“I would imagine Drake winning more of the fights against her but there is nothing else but the non-logical Lara, sorry. ”

www.youtube.com/watch?v=plxarKVWMKw&feature=related this feat is too awesome seriously it is impossible for any human I doubt Lara can survive 3 days in desert without water!
ain’t it obvious drake has better combat and endurance? the only edge lara really has is her dual wielding and flexibility. but from uncharted 2 and 3 we canclealy see hes too much for lara in a straight up fight. in a treasure hunt would be a little more even.
Bear Grylls? I doubt he can be better than Drake, but this is Lara we are talking, of course I got to give the man the best resistance but it’s not like this is about who can last longer in a dessert right?
This feat won’t help at all wen it comes to a fight unless the opponent can spawn a dessert terrain. This won’t get an award but at least what I can do is straight out some facts for the interested viewer.
The way the game shows Lara and the way it shows drake, Lara has better speed, reflexes and marksmanship, while Drake has more strength in his arms (unlike Lara who has it on her legs for better jumping and movement) it won’t help him catch Lara if he is not faster than her, but if he does (as I seen Lara get hurt by guys stronger than her, if they get her of course) we can say bye to Lara, but he is not that fast and in most of the cases he wont get her, and Drake is a good shot too but he never pulled out the shots that Lara has done in most case. This will end up in a gunfight than a H2H fight, seen as both have guns, and Lara is very good when it comes to quick draws and rapid bulls-eye firing (under fast summer-salt and jumping movements). Sad because Drake is more badass than she is, and I bet Lara dreams for a guy like him.
If you wan’t my honest opinion of both, then let me show it this way, Lara 6 or 7, Drake 3 or 4 out of 10 rounds.
I don’t even like Lara but I just like to debate on games, movies etc… wish I know from both sides.
@OMEGAMI
“Bear Grylls? I doubt he can be better than Drake”

^bear grylls would consume anything(and i mean ANYTHING) to “survive” i saw him once juices elephant dung for a drink *shock*

You know, I think you are right!
If Drake was as good as Bear Grylls, he would have drink his own urine, or maybe he did thought about is and said “My urine, what am I thinking, first dead”. lol.
@OMEGAMI
sadly bear grylls lacks drakes witty remarks and durability. but hes by far a better survivalist than both these combatants.

were all in agreement drake stomps this match right?
Don’t know why I bother posting on dead threads, nobody is gonna bring them back.
Drake for FPA !
Pretty sure Lara wins this with relative ease. Drake is WAY cooler, but Lara has more skill.
From what I have seen of the Tomb Raider reboot/prequel the series looks like it is taking a far more realistic approach. If it is a reboot I think Nathan Drake would win against this new Lara Croft. Unfortunately if the new Tomb Raider is merely a prequel I feel Drake is outmatched by the more unrealistic Lara Croft of the earlier Tomb Raider games.
I hear its a reboot actually
“I hear its a reboot actually”

Awesome. Looks like there going for a Batman Begins type of deal. Trying to make the series darker. Which might be good for Tomb Raider. Considering Uncharted has it’s niche as a blockbuster-esque action adventure game.
bumping this to see how this stands with Lara’s new game and all, if we want to use reboot anyway. Not sure if we would or not.
i wish this duel had a theme or map, without one a winner would be hard to decide.( my money is on drake:)
i confess, i never liked tomb raider and probaly never will. but in uncharted nate takes down entire armies solo, walks though a desert for two days without food or water, and climbed out of a train with a bullet in his chest.
I think the rebooted Lara doesn’t stand much of a chance against Nate.
Is she in this? Or is it treated like DMC and DmC?
Enough with the reboots already, it’s very disheartening to see. Not that it’s because it tramples on people’s childhoods (because why should I care if it’s not mine?). It just makes me think that they have nothing original to think of. While it is not necessarily true, I still worry about it.
Nate has the durability, strength and stamina advantage. Better tactician and more adept at using the environment to his advantage. Lara should be more agile and that’s likely her only advantage. In terms of firearms prowess is say evenly matched if the tombraider movie applies; if not Nate takes that advantage as well. Nate has a better overall performance and wins the majority of the battles
nathan drake for FP award anybody?
camon lets have a vote here
Drake for the FP
thats two. anymore?
