Uncharted 4’s Multiplayer Forgets Fun in Favor of Options

Uncharted 4's multiplayer options are a mess. The single-player campaign is immensely accessible, so what's up with all of the customization options? Between the loadouts, upgrades and currencies, I feel like I'm playing a completely different franchise. Anybody with me? How would you improve Uncharted 4's multiplayer?

[JakeNoseIt]

I think Overwatch's accessibility is a big part of its success. I wish this game's multi took itself less seriously.

[TwoForce]

Ah, Uncharted 4 MP is third person shooter, not a freaking MOBA like Overwatch.

[JakeNoseIt]

Overwatch isn't a MOBA! Haha and TPS games CAN be MOBAs like paragon, smite or even Battleborn

[Nitrowolf2]

Almost anything can be classified as a mobile now a days

Anyway I find Uncharted 4 multiplayer to be very fun no I still prefer the past Uncharted games in terms of competitive play

Accessibility though is a big thing which OverWatch has. I think there's just too much going on with the unlock system in Uncharted 4 when it could have been simplified and just gone with the good Old plane progression based on rank system

[OpieWinston]

The amount of upvotes you got just depresses me.
Overwatch ISNT a MOBA.
Has anyone on this site actually played Overwatch or a MOBA in their lives because the two are NOTHING alike aside from the fact that you need a decent team to win games and one person being good doesn't mean you'll win all your games like a Shooter.

[Majister-Ludi]

How am I one of only two people to disagree with this comment. If for no other reason than it is 100% false. Overwatch is not a moba child. Everyone of you people who agreed is dumber for doing so. Does anyone even know what a moba is smh.

[TwoForce]

But why OverWatch have hero and abilities ? I'm sure Uncharted 4 MP is not Overwatch. Sure, you can chosse hero and villain UC 4 MP, but here the thing they are not superhuman. Overwatch has a lot of superhuman characters which have different abilities and weapon.

[3-4-5]

* Overwatch isn't fun either though. It gets boring after 2-3 days of playing it. Also the game modes available aren't that fun to play.

There is nothing MOBA about Overwatch game. It is NOT a MOBA. It is a FPS game but your characters have other abilities to use.

* There are NO lanes or lane minions nor is there leveling up during the match, two things which all MOBA's have.

That being said, Uncharted 4's multiplayer looked decent from what I saw.....but what I saw was very limited.

[Lonnie18]

No it's not, it's just jump in fun and I love it!

[generic-user-name]

Actually I've found U4's MP to be super fun, even just the beta. They made the wise decision of not making mysticals OP and the way they've set up how to earn relic points (by doing the daily challenges) genuinely has me trying out new ways to play and really helps me try out all the tools.

The only thing lacking I think, is another mode or 2 (remember the lab playlist?) including a classic mode that removes the downed state and mysticals/sidekicks, and some more maps, but most of that will come, along with co-op throughout the year.

[TwoForce]

Hey, that why ND will continue support the game.

[Crimzon]

Uncharted 4 multiplayer is, quite frankly, a complete mess. This is easily the worst multiplayer component that Naughty Dog have ever crafted for one of their games and to see such a tremendous leap backwards from previous entries in the franchise is utterly baffling considering the delays that the game had. Very little content here, ranging from the most basic requirements of multiplayer offerings such as maps and modes, all the way to the mysterious disappearance of both the co-op arena modes and the co-op missions.

Considering that this is the last game in the franchise it's sad to see Naughty Dog offer such a barebones and disappointing multiplayer component, which makes the exclusion of multiplayer content from the Uncharted Collection even more frustrating.

The singleplayer is utterly fantastic however, but it's the multiplayer that keeps me playing these games for years so to see such a weak offering in that area is a real shame.

[Trez1234]

Your opinion. Mr and others are having so much fun. What any better 3rd person pvp better than this on these consoles?

[Silly gameAr]

Do you own any consoles crimzon? You're usually so critical of anything Playstaion, but big up xbox any chance you get, so you have to forgive anyone that's been around long enough of accusing you of being an xbox fanboy.

[Crimzon]

Both you and the guy below obviously have me confused with someone else if you think that I supposedly big up Xbox any chance that I get or jump to defend everything Xbox. Either that or you're so beyond help that you perceive level-headed objectivity as fanboyism.

Considering that one of you recently registered on the site and is making-up stories and the other one of you has earned their way onto a large amount of ignore lists however, I think it's safe to assume that you're both simply trolls (one of whom was recently banned) and have some serious fanboy complexes that you should try to address instead of lashing out at members of the community.

Also, the only console that I own is the PS4.

[saywat247]

it"s a mess but where are your reasons? if you don't have any then shut your mouth and its barebones? not only are they adding stuff as shown in the roadmap but you're saying all the weapon, mysticals, gear, sidekicks, heavy weapons, and custonmization from characters to guns and camo's and modifiers along with 3 fun game modes is bare bones?? lmfaoo quality over quantity kid and if you want quantity it's only gonna increase. that is how u back up an opinon not saying it's a mess and then having nothing to back up shows you're a troll a hater or both so gtfoh

[Crimzon]

Well, if you were actually capable of reading the comments that you respond to, you might have figured out what some of my reasons are. Also, adding things later in the year doesn't do anything to improve the situation right now.

[TwoForce]

Then you don't know how to play.

Edit : You don't know how to use mystical and sidekick. The only worse Uncharted MP mode is UC 3 which had one hit meele kill on the back and sprint. UC 4 mix both between UC 2 and UC 3. But it's still is own game. Yes, i would love to see Co op and classic mode back in UC 4 on launch day, but ND said that they will continue support the game until their new game come out. Seriously, it like you don't want them to support UC 4 MP.

[Crimzon]

Actually, I do. You move with the left stick, look around with the right stick. Hold down L2 to aim, R2 to fire, and so on and so forth. The controls are quite simple and intuitive.

Edit: I also know how to use the mysticals and sidekick. You use mysticals by pressing L1 & R1 together after purchase, and you use sidekicks by merely purchasing them from the in-game store once you have enough cash. Again, this is very simple and basic stuff. Also, for the sake of educating you about the game, Uncharted 4 multiplayer does in fact have one-hit melee kills. If you hold down the L1 button you can charge your grappling hook for an instant down on anyone that you hit with it once it's charged (you need to push the square button to do this). You can also one-hit melee kill someone while swinging above them with the grappling hook and dropping down on them. I hope this has been a valuable lesson for you on how to play the game because unlike you, I actually know what I'm talking about and have played a lot of the multiplayer in this franchise.

[Hanilugtehul]

Its great fun,me like it a Lot:)

[AnubisG]

Some people will like the mp in U4 some people won't. It comes down to taste.

Personally I don't like TPS mp games and I don't like U4 mp either. Never liked competitive mp in Uncharted ever since it was intorduced.

I think something like a horde mode or co-op would have been so much better.

But to each their own I guess.

[GoodnessGreatness]

The multiplayer is so much fun. It just takes a bit of time to get used to.

[sovkhan]

Someone who did not play uncharted4 for MP!!! for sure.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

I'll take a TPS any day over an over saturated FPS market. Not to mention a killer campaign mode to also play through. I'll take having more content!

[Sic_Parvis_Magna]

Uncharted 4 MP is the most fun I've had with a multi-player game in years

[MagicBeanz]

Played it and it was fun, but fun is subjective.

[Platformgamer]

The uncharted 4 multiplayer has only one problem: the ranked matches are a joke, because the victory or the loss is already written in the 95% of the cases depending of who join the teams, for that reason i lost 10~ matches in a row because all the teams were composed by noob (I'm a medium player) so i got bad luck 10 times. also, i've returned from B2 to B3 at least 7 times, that's bullshit. ND should "Patch" the rank system. For the rest the MP is fun as hell :)

[scark92]

I love Uncharted multiplayer, I lag a lot though and it is frustrating.

[GamerSciz]

I play this practically nightly with friends. We try jumping in ranked matches but we need to unlock more sidekicks and boosters to really compete. It's still a ton of fun and I spend hours playing it. I think the flow and gameplay is so smooth and pretty well balanced. At least it's not a pay to win. Real money buys you simply cosmetic things and not weapons. Those HAVE to be unlocked by playing.

[BossBattle]

Just beat the Uncharted 4 campaign and trade it in

[TwoForce]

Yup, you don't have a taste.

[BossBattle]

If you like Uncharted 4 multiplayer then you don't have taste. What you have is waste...of time...of shit.

[P_Bomb]

I had fun with the MP. Only drawbacks were the occasional one sided domination, but I've seen that elsewhere. Coming off of Doom MP the same night, it was refreshingly fun for me

[slinky123456]

As a HUGE fan of Uncharted 2 mp and liked 3's(even though 3 had a lot a lot of problems) I hate Uncharted 4's mp. It's so bare bone in content. What makes it fun is that it has Uncharted gameplay... that's it. There's really no reason to continue to play after you've played a couple matches, cause that's really it. You've done it all after a few games. I wanted this to be the greatest mp ever like I thought 2's was, but at least we got one of the best Single Player modes ever with it.

[Get_A_Job_Foxtrot]

GamePLAY wise it's the best in series. People are mainly complaining about lack of content on here. ND said all dlc will be free. People need to stop crying because their main focus was the campaign. They will roll out more mp stuff.when they can, and for free. But in terms of actual gameplay, UC4 is a nod back to UC2 multiplayer, but with loadouts and mystics (which I like).

[TwoForce]

Nope. UC 3 MP has one hit meele kill and sprint button which kill the fun for me.

[The7Reaper]

I have tons of fun with Uncharted 4 MP I just wish there was a leveling system other than that its great in my opinion

[Wyld-Woo]

For me, I've had such fun with it. It does need a bit of work, we need sum more content, maps and more weapons. However, with the co-op on it's way, I'm sure new content will soon be added.

[WellyUK]

people bigging up U4 MP lol, it's tacked on garbage... stop lying to yourself. U$ is only worth buying for SP, the MP is just flat out bad. As a MP gamer i would much rather play TLoU MP which was unique but U$ MP is just mediocre.
