Forums - Sony Discussion - TLoU part 2 will not have multiplayer

I wouldn’t pay $60 for a ND single player game. I’ll pay $60 for LoU2 MP depending on how they handle MTX

Typical AAA publisher. Making only half a game but selling it full price.

Listen, I'm the last one to be happy about no multiplayer but I'm pretty sure you'd also complain if it did have a "tacked on multiplayer that stole resources from making a good singleplayer campaign".



It sounds like it will be a stand-alone title that takes place in the TLoU universe, sort of like Apex and Titanfall. If this is true, I’m all about it. I’m sure the single player will be amazing, but this news really disappointed me at first because ND has proven several times that they can produce amazing story-based experiences, while still providing a solid multiplayer component. I give them a lot of credit, hence why I was disappointed. But if it really is a matter of delivering an excellent SP first, and then an excellent MP down the road, I can wait. Hopefully this is the case.

Aside from a few hardcores (like people that hang out in gaming forums), I don't think there was much interest in the MP in the first game. So, it makes more sense to use those resources to make the campaign better.

The first LoU MP was loaded with MTX and some pay to win elements but what was “half-baked” about it? The MP up until ND went full EA on the MTX was actually incredibly good. Good maps, a cool SOCOM/R6 tactical style gameplay loop, Counter-Strike inspired points system allowing you to buy upgrades and weapons between matches, crafting stuff during a match, it was very nice. 

You speak about it like someone who clearly didn’t play it or has no interest. Which is fine, but no need to talk ignorantly about it.

Anyway I’m glad they’re apparently going to give us MP but I guess it’ll be DLC or stand alone. I wouldn’t pay $60 for a ND single player game. I’ll pay $60 for LoU2 MP depending on how they handle MTX 

It was good, but it wasn't Incredible, 

No need to quote and reply to your whole post, we can just agree to disagree. I thought it was incredible. Better than the SP. But it’s hilarious that you think it’s “good” in one post and yet in others you’re very dismissive of it, describing it as obligatory or forced and “tacked on”. 

And idk what you’re going on about with the “you people” bullshit. I said I was disappointed that there would be no MP, I haven’t said anything negative about them making it DLC or stand alone. So save that nonsense for someone else please.

Oh yes, I am certain that you have nothing to do with it :))) I mean, don't get me wrong, but your biases are pretty obvious for anyone who visits this site at least once a week. 

And with this, I invite everyone who doesn't have anything constructive to say on the original topic, to leave the thread. It's getting annoying to have to flush after every MS fanboy that passes through here

Exactly what bias is on display here? Me saying LoU had incredible MP?

Again, adorable. It makes people here say the darnedest things.



Xbox games are basically free games with GamePass so I don't know why you keep comparing them to this. Crackdown 3 launched with both SP and MP modes and SoTs offers all its future content free at no extra costs. But if you want to compare than Gears 5 just released with both an amazing SP and MP modes with amazing visuals at launch at no extra cost. The Coalition didn't say to Gears fans to wait for either the SP or MP modes until next year or 2 and possibly charge the same customer twice. That is no different to how Destiny butchered there own game by splitting the game up into 3 expansions and expect the customer to buy the game another 3 times or a Season Pass. 

1. Yes they are, and the level of quality is roughly on the same level as most free to play games.

2.  Luckily the quality bar is set a bit higher for Sony first-party AAA releases than what something like Gears 5 can offer, so no, the comparison would not be fair It might stand toe-to-toe with something like Day's Gone but let's not kid ourselves, they are NOT on the same level as Naughty Dog.

Xbox gamers lean towards multiplayer over singleplayer, saying that outloud hasn't made this site go to shit afaik.

But if you think that saying your opinion is representative of being an Xbox gamer is derogatory... Well that would be weird. "Console wars" lol.
