Ohh it's just map maps. Never mind than. This game is awesome but it's mp is terrible. It's forced on and very borring.

Fil1014052d ago

I actually like the mp side.

INMATEofARKHAM4052d ago

Very tacked on... I wish time spent on mp would have gone to better optional tombs. (Too simple and too short.)

Right now I'm debating on selling/trading my copy in... Something I just never do as I'm pretty much done with it... I just wonder if proper SP content is coming or not.

Root4052d ago

You know what they'll do in the sequel instead of admitting it was a failure they'll keep trying with the MP and the single player will suffer because of it.

AngelicIceDiamond4052d ago

I haven't played the MP yet I really don't want to. I heard it wasn't that great. CD should of just added Co-op instead. Oh well, Maybe in the next TR.

Not sure why anyone would think this would be DLC worth buying and/or paying to make exclusive in the case of MS.

I'm guessing SE figured, and rightfully so, that a check from MS would be more profitable than what they would make form PS3/PC players as this game's MP is going to be dead, if not dead already, before that first wave of DLC hits.

asad1974052d ago

We need single player dlc!!! I will be the first one to buy that. Multiplayer sucks

OC_MurphysLaw4052d ago

Completely agree. I fear single player dlc won't live up to the main campaign but I would take it over multiplayer maps as the MP in this game is very much throw away. Heck, just give us some single player tombs to explore with puzzles and a little bit of shooty bits and I willingly plunk down dollars for it.

I also would have preferred them to do some kind of coop horde mode / group puzzle solving over their take on multiplayer.

Reborn4052d ago

For games like this, I'd expect SP dlc. Since some of the map is still not touched. Could easily do a few things with that.

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle11d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger11d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag11d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
