Playing The Last of Us (day one purchase) single player campaign I was probably not even a 4th of the way in and I received an invite from one of my PSN friends inviting me to the games’ multiplayer mode, that invite soon turned to two, three, maybe even four; from other PSN friends. As the invitee I had to tell all the inviters the same; “I’m still playing single player but as soon as I finish I’ll join you”. That’s when the realization hit me once again on what type of gamer I am.

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.
What a waste of time and money, what a shame.
Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.
TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…
This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
Yup I'm the exact same play through the single player get used to the controls then start the multiplayer. I too kept getting a crazy amount of invites I kept saying let me finish the game I was trying to take my time with it. The multiplayer is really great frustrating at times but I like that :)
same here
nothing can beat some crazy good story imo
I always play the single player first and it isn't to get used to the controls. I do it because I want to see how talented the developers are at creating an interesting and meaningful story/experience. It is where I can lose myself in someones imaginary world. Its like any film, TV, book, play. It is nice to feel apart of a story that you wouldn't normally feel apart of. Not just trying to do X objective online for random people who you really do not care for. It is why I play it first. The multiplayer (for me) is just to get more for my money.
I feel multiplayer is quite easy to be fun. It needs to follow some set rules. Single player is another ball game. I always say the best developers are the ones who create the best single player experiences.
Coming from a person who does not play MP games, I wish one could get a platinum without having to play multi-player. I have all the single-player trophies but odds are I'll never get a platinum since it requires playing the MP. Damn you Naughty Dog lol
Even with multiplayer-focused games like Battlefield and Call of Duty, I always want to finish the campaign. Even if I never play the campaign again, I have it hovering over my head if I go to multiplayer before I beat it.
