Every Game Needs Donut Mode

As a reward for beating the game.
Donut Drake is the single greatest in-game mod.

I want Donut Noctis warping everywhere.

Didn't they get rind of him in Uncharted 4 though?

Did they take him out of 1-3 remastered too? I never got to play as him ):

Most would just complain about it and taking about some ___ism since that happens with everything now. I'm cool with it though, but I'm cool with just about everything.

For you.
Games need the Uncharted way of doing things in general. Have several kinds of cheats, graphics filter, skins of every main character and all that. It's pretty cool.

It's funny because he is fat!

it's not

the fact that he's fat isn't funny, what's funny is the fact that he's doing all the stuff that fit/athletic drake would normally be doing and it looks awkward and out of place

or do you think big head modes in games make fun of people with macrocephaly?

So your point is, that he does things that we don't expect "fat people" to do, is making it funny? It's still body shaming.

The big head modes I know, usually just scale up the head size to a ridiculous amount, far beyond what would be realistic, even for people suffering from macrocephaly. They also don't go out of their way to deform heads to portray certain occurrences of macrocephaly. Doughnut Drake isn't just a bigger Drake. He is deliberately created to portray an obese person.

Fuck off with calling it body-shaming. I'm an obese man and I loved playing as donut Drake. Seeing a body type representative of myself (never happens) doing cool shit was always really fun.

Fuck ND for removing him. But it's cool, I get it. Us fat guys can't even pretend to be action heroes because it's unfitting.

Yes, all games now need fun rewards like that, that n64 games did regularly that apparently no one does anymore for whatever reason

Edit: oh for fucks sake gaf

i remember uncharted 3 had donut versions of multiple characters in multiplayer, i used to use donut drake and donut lazarevic all the time, while my friend would sometimes use donut sully. i always found the lower pitched voices to be funnier than the models themselves, hearing lazarevic scream out "HIGH FIVE" in this super deep voice was hilarious.

god i miss donut drake

As someone that appreciates a bigger physique, I loved Donut Drake. There aren't many attractive representations of A body type, I find appealing.

Doughnut Lazarevic was never in UC3.

He only appeared in UC2 during Thanksgiving.

Totally agree. Naughty Dog needs to grow up and put him back into Uncharted 4.

But... if you eat loads of donuts... you get a bit chubby. Like, that's just a fact, I don't think it's body-shaming. Is Mario body-shaming by being chubby?

Yea, if anything its a cool sight to see a fat guy pull off heroics like that and not be relegated to comic relief. Same effect as the fat guy in Tekken. Its not like they limited sprint or abilities in that mode. Not all depictions of an existing problem are "shaming". If anything, sweeping the existence of fat people under the carpet is closer to that.
