Y'all playing Factions? Anyone else absolutely loving it?!

thirtyandnerdy3958d ago

I started out that way too. I'm pretty bad at multiplayer games. Give this one some time, it all sinks in. I found that the more I attempted to play it like the single-player campaign, the better I got. If you haven't tried it yet, try the default Stealth build you can choose to go with. When I started out I chose to custom build a rifle build with some crafting perks and I sucked. The second I decided I was going to sneak around and take people out as silently as possible I noticed a change in how well I was doing.

I can't get enough best tps since confrontation

RandomDude6553957d ago

I wonder if Zipper folk found their way to Naughty Dog.

*I know they didn't make that one.

@thirstynerdy

Yes and loving it! My favorite tactical game since SOCOM 2.

My tip is make sugar bombs instead of the explosive bombs. They are extremely handy for a kill or a getaway.

thirtyandnerdy3957d ago

Awesome tip, I'll have to try it. I haven't tried them too often-- is it true that if you throw them directly at opponents you can run in and shiv them for an insta-kill?

creatchee3956d ago

Yes. And you don't have to get them from behind. Also, they are stunned in the blast and smoke for a short period.

Loving the MP so far. My only complaint is there are only two modes, seriously?! They could have made a co op mode with infected or a mode where you fight over supplies/territories.

Inception3957d ago

Yeah i love the MP and i think they will add new mode & map with DLC. Can't wait fighting clickers with my friends (hopefully).

madara0sama3957d ago

Oh yeah fighting clickers would be awesome. Boss wave with those fat guys would also be awesome.

ArchangelMike3957d ago

yeah whats with having only two modes? where's the co-op horde mode? Where's the last man standing infected mode? (any one remember vampire mode from time splitters - good times ;)

Merrill3957d ago

The MP is good , but certainly not "great". The over the shoulder view is terrible and I hope it doesn't come back next gen. It's the same view that ruined Socom 4(along with other things) a run button, the fact that you can't shoot unless you hold L1, which makes your looking around to aim at anything close almost impossible at the speed it works. Oh yes and the bullet sponge enemies, takes about 5-10 shots to kill with a 9mm.

It could use a lot of reworking.

jagstatboy3957d ago

Great tips! I need to get this game soon.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast77d ago

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.

AlterRecs74d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast74d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs73d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast73d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer77d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6977d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs74d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6974d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger121d ago

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.

seanpitt2377d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid121d ago

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…

anast121d ago

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?
