Naughty Dog absolutely disgusting TLOU:R MP monetization

Killer

Banned
Surprised no one calling them out on this bullshit. Half the perks and 4 of the best weapons are locked and you have to pay for them. This is disgusting for the PS3 version and when we were supposed to have everything available in the Remastered version, they still lock this shit away. This is some EA tier of bullshit.

Some context:

All the DLC Weapons and Perks are Available to everyone for free in the form of preset loadouts.

I will say, I was entirely disappointed that none of this stuff appeared on the Remastered edition. Such a terrible cash grab... much like what happened with Uncharted 3 MP. But at least that was made F2P eventually.

Which maps/weapons? Were they part of the season pass on PS3 or no?

Have been out of the mp loop since the release of Interrogation Mode and won't be picking up TLOU R until maybe tomorrow or Friday, so sorry if I don't understand what's exactly going on.
Well that makes the mp sound terrible. Its pay to win?

It wasn't for a long while and I highly doubt it is. Not sure how these new weapons fit in though.
 
cod has dlc weapons too...but you can actually pick them up from enemies you kill. haven't palyed tlou mp yet. can you do the same?

Not to excuse the monetization but I wouldn't say so, I'm doing fine with the stuff the game comes with. But yeah there is a whole lot of dlc items you would think would be part of the whole package.
 
I didn't played it yet but on PS3 you can buy everything with ingame money... there wasn't a way to use real money.

So it is just your own progress in MP.

I didn't know about this, guess I didn't play U3 for long enough.

I hope they'll do the same for TLOU if the negative feedback is strong enough.

I'm surprised ND pulled this off, especially now that I know they made U3 F2P post-release.. :/
 
They did make it clear that DLC wasn't part of the package. I haven't played TLOU:MP in months, so I don't know unbalanced that kind of stuff is. UC3 MP had some special weapons with different attributes locked behind DLC but it really wasn't a big deal at all.
 
The best weapons and perks in the game are the default ones.

The DLC weapons and perks just offer a different playstyle than what the regular skills/weapons provide. In no way are they game breaking or overpowered.

Besides, all the DLC weapons and skills are available to everyone for free from the preset loadouts.

So like UC3?
