9 Dumb Coincidences In Video Games You Just Ignored

1. Everything About Elena - Uncharted

Let’s start out by saying that Elena and Drake’s relationship and their interactions form one of the most charming and brilliant parts of the whole series. The way they fall in and out of love is very human, which does make the former's sudden appearances - regardless of where you are - mostly forgivable. It makes them somewhat acceptable in context, but does nothing to stop from disintegrating upon deeper analysis.

How she finds Nate in the first game and arrives at the exact opportune moment to save you, without any indication of her tracking abilities. Or how she just so happens to be in the same war torn city in Nepal in Uncharted 2. Or perhaps the worst coincidence in the entire series: Her job in Yemen just happens to give Drake access to the exact part of the world he needs to get to.

Then there's Uncharted 4, where her out-of-nowhere appearance after Drake has fallen off a cliff has spun a number of fan theories explaining that everything that happens afterwards takes place in the afterlife. So unbelievable is the idea of her and Sully's appearance - given how Nate has gone solo - some have resorted to assuming he perished instead.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
