Obviously he never got shot in the confines of the story but now they're saying that all the damage you took in gameplay was his "luck running out" and that when it hit zero is when you died. It's an interesting if stupid way to try to merge gameplay and story.

That's honestly how I've always looked at this in video games.

Doesn't one of the Brothers in Arms do something like this?
When you were out of cover your screen got redder and redder until eventually you were shot and killed.

i guess all the punches he takes aren't actually punches either and his luck is just running out with a one punch kill.

He got DDT'd by Michael Jackson doing a moonwalk not too long ago.

It sounds silly when you say it like that, but it makes more sense than games which acknowledge their characters receiving all these gory injuries and then just walking it off

Hell's Highway

It worked really well in that, but the difference is that Baker wasn't actually visibly being shot while his "luck" was running out

I'm more concerned with the fact that his body count is in the hundreds.

Wow his luck ran out HARD that time in Uncharted 2 when Flynn shot a gun pointed at him and then there was blood coming out of his body.

I guess that really is bad luck, when the guy shooting you misses, and you bleed anyway.

Yeah I figured there were inconsistencies with it, but it's a cute little way to try to handwave it.

No I agree, and I don't think it's inconsistent at all in concept. I was more making a joke. It's a pretty cool idea tbh.

His luck ran out the moment he chose Elena over Chloe.

Ugh Chloe is an annoying character.

Aside from Flynn (who is honestly kind of pushing it anyway), the only good characters originated in 1.

Are there any other games that try to justify the gameplay like this?

Well a lot of them do in some way.

Mass Effect, had the change from the infinite ammo in 1 to the "ammo" in 2 and 3 explained by having a new kind of weapon where you eject containers that carry the heat away, and even makes a joke about how it's essentially the same thing as picking up ammo.

Basically every MGS game puts loads in loads of codec conversations about the weapons and mechanics and how they work in-universe.

Etc.

I always find touches like that kind of cool, especially if they can explain it in the game itself.
