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.. :/

Yeah, they eventually released Uncharted 3 MP as a standalone product that was f2p. They could do that with TLoU, but I mean... this is still a 50 dollar game that some people are buying for the second time. Give us a break Sony.

 

[Andrefpvs]

I was referring to the MP. The game is SP first and the MP is a bonus that you don't really need to ever play. Like most mp that are not essential the communities aren't too large except for a few hardcore that will keep them alive until the servers get shutdown, those are the people that will pay for stuff the rest will most likely play a few times and never revisit MP again and be outraged over something that you don't really have to do.

So you came to this thread about monetization in the MP to say that the MP is an extra and we don't have to play it?

 

[Riposte]

Nope. Nope. I can see where this thread is going. Shill or not, I'm out

Have you ever criticized a game for microtransactions?

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Who cares, all you need is body armor and the Machete.

Bruv, *fist bump*. Don't got time for a primary even.

 

[CambriaRising]

I bought the Season Pass for the original and also pre-ordered the disc version of the Remastered edition and the only thing coming up as needing to pay for is the masks/hats in the "Killer Bundle". Everything else; weapons, abilities , masks, etc... was free for me when I downloaded them from the PSN store yesterday.

I see, so the perks and weapons were season pass content? Thats not so bad, its cool that it carries over to the PS4 version.

 

[Chuck Norris]

So it's mostly just hats?

 

[Courage]

"Who cares" they said, the same people that raged about Sim City and always online DRM.

 

[BPoole]

This is Naughty Dog so it's okay. If this was EA or Activision, there would be riots in the streets

 

[firehawk12]

So it's mostly just hats?

Hats, perks, guns, and a new mode/maps iirc.

 

[MariosGirlfriend33]

Why even post in the thread if you don't care about the multiplayer?

Why respond to me just to call me out?

 

[AKyemeni]

Its multiplayer...couldn't care less. Pay to win? Fine by me. I play ND games for the single player.

That's more of a trial than anything else, no?

I mean, customizing your equipment to your needs is part of the multiplayer. Being confined to using a grenade launcher only with specific skills sucks.

IMO, the preset loadouts do a great job in giving you a great combination of guns, perks, and purchaseable weapons.

It also prevents people from getting an advantage with a paid weapon or skill, since they can also have access to them, albeit in a confined manner.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Then I don't see the huge deal with it anymore. You are paying to make a custom build, rather than access to the weapons/perks. Still kinda shitty, but not as shitty.

Yeah. But certainly not "absolutely disgusting".

Why respond to me just to call me out?

To discourage those types of irrelevant posts.

 

[Freaky Fred]

first they ship a broken product with no shadows, and now this anti-consumer bullshit

RIP naughty dog

 

[-MD-]

This is Naughty Dog so it's okay.

So far it seems that way.

Why respond to me just to call me out?

You entered this thread to post "lol multiplayer i don't care".

 

[Paracelsus]

"Naughty Dog"

If the Dog bites, it's the owner's fault.

 

[RedAssedApe]

A tad over-the-top in my opinion but he's serious. But hey, what do I know? I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I thought all this was free with TLoU:R purchase. Cause it appeared free to me. Maybe because I bought the PS3 Season Pass? And apparently all of it is Cross-Buy DLC (talking out my ass right here). Pretty sure I've never used the DLC weapons either. They're pretty lame since they're just purchasables. I don't know. Someone check the PS3 store if you bought TLoU:R digitally and see if it's just glitch.

i vaguely recall them saying season pass stuff is cross-buy but i could be wrong.

 

[TheJLC]

So the same thing as the PS3 version?

 

[Killer]

"Who cares" they said, the same people that raged about Sim City and always online DRM.

This is Naughty Dog so it's okay. If this was EA or Activision, there would be riots in the streets

Sad but true :/.

 

[AusRoachman]

Why is no one calling out all these 10/10 reviews? I didn't even realize the original ps3 version had paid content.

 

[Wereroku]

Hats, perks, guns, and a new mode/maps iirc.

No maps and modes are included in the ps4 version. The only content for purchase are hats perks and guns. The perks and guns dlc lets you use the in a custom loadout otherwise they are free to everyone in preset. Also they are not more powerful than any other weapon in the game.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

"Who cares" they said, the same people that raged about Sim City and always online DRM.

I really wish it was there, but I also hope people understand these weapons and such are not in any way needed to compete in this game. it is in no way a P2W scenario.

But yes they should have been in the game, charge fir hats and stuff all you want.

 

[firehawk12]

i vaguely recall them saying season pass stuff is cross-buy but i could be wrong.

Yeah, it's cross buy.

Maybe they did this to keep season pass owners happy. But it sort of makes the Remastered version seem like it's a 50 dollar game with a chunk of stuff cut out to make up for the difference.

 

[thefit]

So you came to this thread about monetization in the MP to say that the MP is an extra and we don't have to play it?

You also don't have to respond to my post but $0.99 I can have you have the last word and for and additional $0.99 you can be right.

 

[benicillin]

i vaguely recall them saying season pass stuff is cross-buy but i could be wrong.

Everything from the season pass is cross-buy. I owned the season pass and got everything for free apart from one of the hat bundles on PS4.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

No maps and modes are included in the ps4 version. The only content for purchase are hats perks and guns. The perks and guns dlc lets you use the in a custom loadout otherwise they are free to everyone in preset. Also they are not more powerful than any other weapon in the game.

OP making a big fucking deal out of nothing.

 

[LingeringRegime]

Yeah, this is baffling to me. I thought they were better than that. I don't mind spending some money on costumes, but the perks and weapons?

This is an outrage.

 

[stryke]

ND already announced from day 1 of the Remastered reveal that they wouldn't include every DLC available.

 

[Artorias]

I can see this is already turning into a circle jerk, lol. Have fun guys.

 

[firehawk12]

No maps and modes are included in the ps4 version. The only content for purchase are hats perks and guns. The perks and guns dlc lets you use the in a custom loadout otherwise they are free to everyone in preset. Also they are not more powerful than any other weapon in the game.

I saw this as a new release on the blog yesterday under the PS3 content:
"Double Map Pack Bundle $12.99"

Is that already included in the PS4 version?

Because it also says "The Last of Us (all Cross-buy with PS4)".

 

[Silky]

Are they the same Last of Us DLC weapons in the PS3 version or something completely new? Because from my playtime of TLoU MP, I'd say they're much more efficent than the stock weapons.

 

[Pathos]

The MP is mediocre anyways, this just makes it worse

 

[Doomshroom]

Why is no one calling out all these 10/10 reviews? I didn't even realize the original ps3 version had paid content.

Yeah this is bullshit, it was the same thing with Forza 5. How the hell are we suppose to trust them or respect what they do when they cant point out stuff like this?

 

[TemplaerDude]

Why respond to me just to call me out?

Are you going to continue being an obtuse twat?

 

[RedAssedApe]

The MP is mediocre anyways, this just makes it worse

oh no you didn'tttt (haven't played it yet...)

 

[Evolved1]

Huge NG fan.

Huge TLoU fan.

Huge TLoU Remaster fan.

Think this is gross as hell... and seems really greedy after the overwhelming success of the game. I would expect this from EA or Ubisoft, not ND.

Very disappointed in them over it.

 

[Dreamgazer]

There's DLC weapons in Payday, Battlefield, ghost recon, etc...
What took you guys so long...

 

[Spinluck]

So they can't be unlocked through playing?

Well, that's bullshit.

 

[CambriaRising]

Sad but true :/.

What? EA and Activision already do do this.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Yeah this is bullshit, it was the same thing with Forza 5. How the hell are we suppose to trust them or respect what they do when they cant point out stuff like this?

Because we already knew about it? It's literally in the official announcement/press release.

 

[Alienous]

Are they the same Last of Us DLC weapons in the PS3 version or something completely new? Because from my playtime of TLoU MP, I'd say they're much more efficent than the stock weapons.

I'm hearing rave reviews for the Enforcer.

Kill your multiplayer experiences quicker, Naughty Dog.

 

[Silky]

The Enforcer is such bullshit.

 

[AKyemeni]

Which are more efficient? Everything seems balanced in terms of loadout points and efficiency.

 

[Percy]

Laughed at OP tbh.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Its ok. Everyone is only playing the single player atm so they won't feel as bad b/c they will have some many positive feels after completion

 

[MavFan619]

I'm hearing rave reviews for the Enforcer.

Kill your multiplayer experiences quicker, Naughty Dog.

There are two free presets with the Enforcer. One of then has the silenced Enforcer. Yes it's not ideal to have stuff on a rerelease locked out to people who didn't have the season pass but it's still available to try out.

 

[Abdiel]

Are people deliberately missing the fact that the content can be used with any of the preset loadouts? The paid options are only for custom loadouts. That's it. And if you paid for it on the PS3 version, it carries over/cross-buy, but that's about it. I'm not a fan of DLC, but the level of people ignoring that all the content here is useable in game, without paying a cent extra. If you want to build a custom loadout for specific options, you can pay. It's not 'yeah, awesome!', but god the over-dramatic reactions in here are terrible.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

The Enforcer is such bullshit.

How? That thing wastes so much ammo and is best used at medium to long range. It sits inbetween the 9mm and revolver power wise and ROF wise as well. At close range, it's only "op" if you try mashing square like a dummy to melee someone to death. In no way is it actually overpowered.

 

[OneEyeTwoHead]

My god.

For fucks sake, the guns are FREE. They are monetizing some clothing and frill stuff, big deal.

These guns you're complaining about are free in the loadouts.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

I have a feeling this is more Sony's doing than ND's. Not excusing it, just saying.
