Last of Us 2 will NOT HAVE MULTIPLAYER.

Never touched the first one's multiplayer as soon as I found out you could do that dumb sonar shit to see through walls. I disabled that trash immediately in the campaign.

Zero cares here.

The fuck with all y'all freaking out over the multiplayer. First game won GOTY because of the single player, not the added multiplayer. People bought it for the single player too. Get outta here with your overdramatic doomsaying.

While I loved the first game's multiplayer, this is no great loss and I am fine with the decision since it means the campaign will be even better.

I don't think many are saying its a dealbreaker. Its just shocking since they were still saying it would have multiplayer last year.

Sounds like they are chasing RDR2’s shadow and had to sacrifice multiplayer.

Less content for $60 is not a positive and hopefully they add it for free later.
I am equally disappointed we won't get to have a 100-page thread bitching about the loot boxes in TLOU2 multiplayer. Plus a thread for the Jim Sterling video. And another thread to complain about Naughty Dog's response to player complaints.

Curse that lack of content.

NO MP - let's complain, MP present - it has mtx, let's complain. No developer not adding mtx into their game these days, just forget about mtx free MP in 2019, okay? Those were nice days back in the day, but it's over now, get over it.

I can see multi being added as a standalone later, with all those delicious micro transactions we know and love.
You seem to be the one being over dramatic lol. It was a good addition to the game that many people enjoyed. Clear reason for disappointment.

Yep, everyone else are the dramatic ones lol.

Never touched the MP in TLoU once.

I bought the remaster when it came out and went straight to multiplayer. I was getting kinda tired of the expansion "Left Behind" because I was so engaged with the main campaign. I played for quite a long time. There's this certain vibe it gives off. Its all the suspense and action of the campaign, but you're going up against real people. It feels like a game of cat and mouse at times. I don't typically play multiplayer when I play, but next the campaign it felt pretty good. I wasn't really into Uncharted's multiplayer just because the campaign was all I cared for.

On the other side, how many and how often SP games of this quality we get?
Pretty much every Sony exclusive we've gotten this generation?

Factions offered something really unique, and I spent most of my time playing that, rather than the single player. It's nothing like Fortnite or Apex,so to pretend those are alternatives doesn't make sense.

It's fine if you don't care, but others do, and it was promised.
 
+ mostly mP games on single player games mostly abused by mtx...well they can a put a add on dlc on it for future if they want + there is remastered version of Last of US 1 so why not stick there

You must be kidding? Only one I can think of is God of war 2018, most of them are just good games. Horizon zero dawn - good game, but spoiled with dull open world and dull side quests, weak characters,. After finishing it, I never ever wanna go back to it. Days gone - 15 hours campaign stretched into 40 hours, despite lots of technical issues and extremely uninteresting open-world exploration, it's not a bad game, just would've benefited from a shorter timing and better pacing.

Beautiful news. There is nothing that could make me happier that they are using their full potential in the campaign (and i was ADDICTED to factions).

On the other hand, I don't believe a shit that the game won't have MP. ND would not have been looking for specialized programmers in that area if that would be the case.

I didn't play the multiplayer on the first one. I have a feeling they will re-release the game on ps5 and that version might have multiplayer

For the most part I believe seperate individuals work on the mp with oversight from the big dogs so idk how that would have detracted from the campaign. If anything tlou part 1 shows u can make a good ass game with a good as mp nothing I saw would make me think no mp in tlou would have made it a better game than it was. This thinking imo is very draconian nowadays when devs have so many teams that work on diff aspects of games and ND has money to spend on these top professionals. It's taking away longevity from this game.

i'm okay with this 100%

i'm also okay with them making a stand alone multiplayer game using the assets after tlou 2 releases, maybe for the ps5 edition even.

First, the Multiplayer from the last game was great until was ruined from microtransactions. A lot of people who enjoy it back in the day was hoping for play something good and more refined and without bullshit. Second, multiplayer was announced to be part of the game and we got news that was cancelled just 5 months before release day. If you don't complain about BULLSHIT and you like to SWALLOW at least be cool with other who might not think like you, okay? get over it.

Good. Never liked Uncharted MP. When a heavily narrative-driven cinematic game adds MP it stinks of marketing dictating to development "you need to have this box checked too!".
What the fuck does Uncharted MP have to do with TLoU MP, they're completely different. I'm not a fan of the former but did enjoy the latter. If you don't like it you don't have to play it, nobody is holding a gun to your head, so why the fuck would you want to deny people that do like it. It's a disgusting attitude that I'll never understand: "I don't like it so it shouldn't exist". Did Uncharted or TLoU campaigns ever suffer because naughty dog included a multiplayer component? Not that I ever saw so just fucking stop it with that bullshit attitude.

You've said it yourself, did you expect it wouldn't be in part 2? Then you're naive fool, mister.

Honestly, your attitude is no better. I actually agree with you, but you didn't have to be a dick about it.
 
Who buys TLOU for MP lol? Get real people. This and Uncharted just had MP to fill extra time. Id much rather get SP story DLC like Left Behind then average MP.

Good. I'm glad developers are realizing they don't need to shoe-horn an online mode to single-player games.

And now I don't have to play online for the platinum.

Nobody is sayin its gonna flop lol

In fact your examples are only giving more support to the notion that Sony 1st party has plenty of spare room for some multiplayer fun.

True. But they need to come from games meant to be played that way. Not adding it to stuff like The Last of Us and God of War.

I really like the MP of Part I. I was hoping to see Infected, Co-Op and stuff like that in Factions Part II.
But I am not really sad to see that there won't be a MP.
They know what they are doing.

I could see them saving the multiplayer for a PS5 version of the game.
