We've wanted a horde mode ever since the PS3 version, I doubt we'll get it. Maybe in the inevitable sequel.

I want the meta game turned into an actual thing in the inevitable sequel.

I could rattle off a dozen things they could do that would fall within reasonable expectations... but it could actually be something. Hopefully they either make it an actual thing or just scrap it.

 

[Negotiator]

Honestly I would love to free up space on my HDD by getting rid of SP that I've played a million times.

IMHO, it's stupid to pay for a MP unlock, especially on the PS4.

They should give us more install options: install SP and/or MP, install certain languages only etc.

 

[wowlace]

F2P would be cool for the extra player pool, only if they don't ruin the balance of the game with MTX.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

If they announce F2P for PS4/3, is it unreasonable to want to play without paying to unlock if I own the online pass and season pass?

 

[danowat]

Never played "The Last Of Us" on PS3, got a PS4 yesterday, and played through the prologue this morning........

Wow,totally blown away, is it this good throughout?

Yes, though this is the Factions MP thread. Be sure to check it out after you have finished the SP content.

 

[danowat]

Sorry, didn't see "MP" in the title!!

 

[Gray Matter]

Sorry, didn't see "MP" in the title!!

No worries. And yes the game is this good the entire way. Especially the winter chapter.

Yes, it is. Have you forgotten the UC3 F2P fiasco?

 

[Evolved1]

Lol it's not F2P if you gave to pay to play it....

 

[Negotiator]

It's free to play

with limitations

Now im not playing for multiplayer for trophies, its a lot less stressful. I dont care about my facebook friends starving to death or getting kidnapped.

Anyone else give up on caring for your clans? Or am I missing some perks by not scrambling for as much supplies as I can?

The only real benefit you get from playing the metagame is the one use boosters.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Yes, it is. Have you forgotten the UC3 F2P fiasco?

Why is it unreasonable?

 

[nowheretorun]

Anyone with any trouble getting a game tonight?

Had a spare 1.5hrs and only had 2 games lasting about 10 mins each before I was disconnected as 'Lan not connected'.

Spent the rest of the time waiting to get into a game ffs.

Abysmal matchmaking. Smh at ND and Sony... Smfh...

 

[Negotiator]

Why is it unreasonable?

Because ND wants you to pay twice (or thrice if you take into account the PS3 version) for the same game.

People begged for that in Uncharted 3 as well and guess what? ND doesn't give a fuck. Hell, some people were against a PS4 digital upgrade option and now we're stuck with a depleted pool/broken matchmaking.

On another note, check this out: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014/12/01/12-deals-christmas-return/

I reckon that it will become a PS+ freebie soon

[AKyemeni]

Just announced on the stream. New DLC playable at PSX

 

[Gray Matter]

So it was new DLC like I said.

Also, they say playable. Could be a new game mode.

Edit: props to AK for the find.

 

[Negotiator]

Tournament? Ugh...

 

[AKyemeni]

Tournament? Ugh...

Tournament at PSX. Not what you're thinking

 

[Evolved1]

Playable is a good sign... means it might not be too far off.

 

[Wiggy]

infected in multiplayer somehow would be great

 

[Gray Matter]

My money's on new game mode.

 

[AKyemeni]

If I had a nickel for everytime someone mentioned this in the stream chat, I would have enough money to buy everyone in this thread a samurai helmet.

So the people have spoken? Surely ND will deliver

 

[Evolved1]

I just want some more options to play this... because the 60fps gameplay is just too good. I keep coming back.

 

[Dreez]

Just found a digital version for $19.49 http://gamedealdaily.com/

Probably one of the few games I would buy digital. Destiny & GTAV aren't doing it.

It's gonna be crazy to see this at 1080P60.

 

[Gray Matter]

I just want some more options to play this... because the 60fps gameplay is just too good. I keep coming back.

I just want a reason to comeback. After playing this for over 200 hours on PS3 and dozens more on the PS4 I got burnt out. But it's too good to not play once in a while.

I will never get burnt out.

 

[Evolved1]

The match I just had... heart was pumping through my chest at the end trying to take on their 7 tickets in sudden death,

I almost had them, but ran out of ammo.

Keeps me coming back.

And new accessories

 

[Evolved1]

So a new helmet... blue, maybe color customization? That's the only thing I notice other than the crossbow. I'm slightly worried about that weapon tbh, ND has been surprisingly good so far with weapons drops, but crossbows present certain balance issues, some I;ve experienced first hand in games like Battlefield and such.

I hope there's more than just some helmets and a crossbow.

They could make a bunch of money on skins. Completely cosmetic stuff, that doesn't need a single thought aimed at how it will change balance or any of that.

Armor skins.
Backpack skins.
Character customization options like outfits or body types.
Weapon skins/models.

I would love some weapon skins. You don't have to change the weapon stats, just its appearance. M1 Garand skin for the semi-auto? Yes please. AK47 skin (a naughty dog staple!) for the full auto rifle? Yup, thanks. Easy money. And no one can complain about it messing up the game.

It's a new helmet. Color customization ain't happening.

Maybe the crossbow is an explosive one? Remote detonation?

 

[Cotrip]

I like this crossbow, should be fun to use. A new melee weapon would be nice too.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Would the crossbow be a purchasable weapon, or primary like the bow?

 

[Negotiator]

I'm not going to pay for new weapons, unless they're truly pay2win. There, I said it.

 

[Evolved1]

Would the crossbow be a purchasable weapon, or primary like the bow?

Seems to me like a (non-explosive bolt) crossbow would have to be a OHD to justify its existence, otherwise any other weapons in the game would be preferable in any situation. So, purchasable makes the most sense. We'll see if my logic holds up lol.

The enforcer is PAI TO WEN?

 

[Evolved1]

Guess a new mode was an unrealistic expectation lol.

 

[Raptor]

Had this game, didn't played MP.

Just one question, is the gore of the SP on the MP?

Yep. In the US anyway... but I think you can turn it off.

Yes, unless you have an EU disc

 

[Raptor]

Time to buy it again, I was going to anyways since I really miss it and this time will be digitally to keep it forever.



Thanks.

 

[AKyemeni]

And the DLC is coming on December 10th:

[Evolved1]

Do we have descriptions yet?

 

[BusterJol]

I didn't think the multiplayer would be this fun. But man it's great. Genuine tension at all times.

 

[Servbot #42]

I didn't think the multiplayer would be this fun. But man it's great. Genuine tension at all times.

Yeah i played a bunch of the multiplayer today for the first time and i had tons of fun but man it doesn't explain itself at all. I ran the shadow class that is unlocked from the start and i was doing pretty well, too bad the enforcer is a DLC only weapon Wanted to try some other loadouts with that gun. Also LOU Factions is like the anti advanced warfare, the game rewards slow pace. I might come back but i'm gonna have to read a wiki

 

[AKyemeni]

Also LOU Factions is like the anti advanced warfare, the game rewards slow pace.

As you will quickly learn through experience, you will realize this is not the case, for the most part.
