Talk:Nathan Drake vs. Lara Croft/@comment-30870165-20170113022231/@comment-29020806-20170525214058

The only reason Nadine beat Nate was becase he just came out of his retirement. Think about it, the dude quit treasure hunting SEVERAL YEARS after Drake's Deception so of course he's going to be rusty and not in his prime like he was before. It could even be seen in Uncharted 4's gameplay where Nate doesn't use any fancy moves like he used to. Earlier in his career he has fought foes similar to Nadine such as Talbot who had covert ops training and could keep up with Nate. He even fought Lazarevic (who was superhuman) who had a healing factor, could effortlessly throw Nate meters away with one arm, tank shots from guns such as AK-47s, tank grenade explosions, etc. Long story short, if Nate had come straight out of Uncharted 3 in Uncharted 4, he would've given Nadine a run for her money, but he retired several years and lost because of it.
