The Last of Us Factions Multiplayer is Still Fantastic

[@PowerPakGames]

Edit: The Last of Us standalone multiplayer has been cancelled. Another victim of making everything an awful live service game. What a healthy and perfectly normal industry. Original Comment: Apologies if certain sections sound weird. I developed a cold (and yes, it's just a cold(EDIT: NOPE TURNS OUT IT'S COVID GODDAMMIT)) towards the end of making this. Currently drowning in those hot lemon medicine drinks. Hope you all like the video! After Iron Lung blew up I was nervous about what to do next as people might want just more horror games forever. There will be more in the future, but I do like all sorts of different genres. More videos to come, and hopefully not too far away... illness depending.

[@strikeforce1500]

I geniuly didn't know this game had a multiplayer until the first remaster came out. And, from what I heard, I'm surprised the sequel to this day doesn't have a multiplayer at this time. Especially when the whole story includes two very obvious factions (Scars and Wolves)

[@TROPHYEARNER]

I hope you’ll be glad to hear that Factions 2 seems to have been in development at Naughty Dog for a very long time, from what’s been leaked. Most signs point towards it being *way* more ambitious than the first Factions, too.

[@TROPHYEARNER]

@@serch3ster With PlayStation investing more in live service games, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised by that kinda move. Multiplayer games with paid cosmetics ‘n’ such’ll always benefit from crossplay, no matter how resistant they were to it last gen.

[@Aztecashadow]

@@serch3ster and have cheaters/hackers ruining the experience? Yeah no. I do agree cross play is great to keep a game alive and running but factions is still going strong being only on ps4/5. Factions has enough wall shooter cheaters, we don’t need straight up hackers as well

[@keithisabeast]

Factions 2 will be a standalone multiplayer game by ND. I think it will be the premier mp game on PlayStation.

[@marxistlynchist]

I think that the sequel lacked multiplayer for two reasons. First, Part II makes a very conscious attempt to “degamify” the conflict between characters, with AI enemies literally begging for their lives when the last one in a group is still alive, so a multiplayer focusing on WLF vs Seraphites would be in very poor taste from a tonal and narrative standpoint. Second, Sony is trying to push live-service games to accompany their single player experiences so creating a massively expanded Factions game and bundling it with the new PS Plus Extra and Premium could do very well for them.

[@spencergordon2815]

[@TROPHYEARNER]

Whenever Factions 2 finally drops, I fully expect it to be a tremendous hit on a level that fans of the first Factions could only dream of. I personally think it was super smart of Naughty Dog to separate it from the main game because of that, too - it’s obvious that most people experience a level of “The Last of Us fatigue” once they’ve completed the stories to these for the first time, so dropping the second game’s ~25 hour campaign with the multiplayer already included probably would’ve been equally as bad for Factions 2 as it was for the first Factions in the long run.

[@dirtyfilthystinky]

True! And maybe it just wasn't quite ready yet. I respect when video game companies take the time to make sure they're releasing quality instead of rushing!

[@willjones4992]

@@Puppy_Puppington the game sold very well. a multiplayer mode would've made little difference. what makes more money, *maybe* a 10% increase in copies sold for tlou2 because of a multiplayer mode, or an entirely separate game that is guaranteed to sell millions of units? on top of that its better for the players because allowing the devs a couple extra years to make factions two without having to worry about the singleplayer almost GUARANTEES a greater quantity and quality of content. don't be stupid just because you don't like tlou2's story. it's been two years. get over it.

There are still many fantastic youtube channels who dedicate their content to Factions, and it is awesome to see. I like the niche playerbase we have. The Last of Us Factions multiplayer still has an extremely active player base to this day, and I have made it my life game at this point, since 2014. For me, the main draw to this experience is that of the ability to play in the beautiful and moody world of The Last of Us, which in a way draws me to keep playing it due to that warm nostalgia factor. Genuinely, the art style of The Last of Us is enough to make this mode my life game. But aside from that, the gameplay itself is just excellent and so addictive to play - utmost satisfying; the best part is, it is pretty easy to get into, and over time you juet get better and better once you understand the flow of the combat and tactics. Really, it is just a better and more fictionally distinctive version of Rainbow Six Siege; tactically based, and addictive combat to go alongside it at that. I am glad Part II doesn't have a multiplayer mode, as it would mean the original multiplayer mode would sadly soon be abandoned.

The best thing about this multiplayer is the fact you have to work as a team. I absolutely love that. Reviving teammates healing teammates gifting items too teammates. Working together to kill the enemies and the challenges the game throws at you like heal 10 teammates get 6 downs with the revolver. And the fact you have a clan to maintain and if you fail at the challenges you clan will die. Makes every in game week challenging but in a good way it makes you better at the multiplayer.

[@anthonymaddaford8474]

Yep. What I enjoyed most. When you got in a team that understood how to the play the game and you didn't have some moron running off to be killed over and over? It took it to another level. Without doubt the best online experience I've had gaming when it works.

[@ash._.es_._]

Power Pak has made a banger video here, but in the end I wouldn’t recommend Factions contrary to all the positivity seen. Not only will you see the Tactical FAR more than you think, *but there is a highly rampant cheating problem that has only gotten worse since this video’s release.* People need to stop turning a blind eye to “crabwalking,” it’s a genuinely game breaking exploit that allows you to crouch walk at max sprint speed with no stamina limitations, bypassing Listen Mode with Covert and allowing insanely unintended plays. Because it’s easier than wall glitching and wall shooting, it’s common enough that you may even find yourself with a teammate who does it. Streamers on this game are also getting away with doing it just because they’ve had a history of being good without it, creating the illusion that it somehow can still be justified, especially since it isn’t “as bad as wall shooting.” If you still want to get Factions, great. Non-cheater matches are a blast, it’s why there’s still many people, but as the matchmaking gradually decides you’re more experienced as you play, don’t say I did not warn you.

[@ndf2719]

I have really fond memories of playing factions on my PS3, its cool to see other people feel the same way about it.

[@Pitterpaterfamil]

Y'all can't even understand why I love factions MP. The respawns for the other team are tied to where your team isn't, this means you always roughly know where they are. there are spots on every map where you can start combat in 4 seconds. This game had it all when it comes to what a good multiplayer game should have. it has long range, mid range and close range builds that are all on a knifes edge of being over powered if your smart enough. An example of this would be a plank build. Run fast, get two boxes of double loot. Craft a plank with nails that can 1 tap twice, and rush anyone that's sneaking or in a building. All the animations in the game follow the same fluid motions, from ducking to shooting above cover. that means you put every player in this world box with a handful of animations that can be memorized to your advantage, this means a sniper always knows where your head will be if you pop out of cover, or how high your head will be if your crouching or running. Seems broken till you realize only a handful of people know this. Sniper builds that any damage will mark players around them, meaning on maps like the dam you can jump on the car and down the whole team before 10 seconds into the game. It's just insane how much depth they gave this game on accident. Sad part to this is that I'm confident they don't know what they did right. Minimum effort with passion lead to this having depth and a style that I haven't been able to find in another game, and one I don't think will be done right again. Great video : )

[@MisterBolticus]

Something really neat that you may end up mentioning in the video, almost all weapons have optimal trigger timing/fire rates and they change dependant on the upgrade level of the weapon. The 9mm can be the best gun in the game in the hands of the right player but if you rush your shot you might die as a result, such an amazing little mechanic that very much adds to the skill ceiling of the game. I wish they'd taken it a step further and added a penalty of potentially jamming your gun if you're hitting optimal timings and mess it up, though it being an essentially hidden mechanic, I can see why they didn't. If my explanation didn't make sense the TL;DR is you can fire semi-autos A LOT faster than you'd think, if you time the shots correctly.

I basically only played survivors as I felt it fit my playstyle and I was worried about getting wrecked in supply raid as I thought it'd be more aggressive. Also fits the vibe of TLOU better

[@cptTK421]

Supply is pretty much just for getting used to the gunplay and how to use/throw craftables while not suffering too much from dying thanks to respawns and a relatively brief timer between Waves; not like waiting a round in R6Siege, but enough to make a couple tweaks to your kit or outright pick a new one. Especially if you care about the meta-game, as only Surivor grants a subsisting amount for losses so long as you still tried hard.

I’ve been on a hunting rifle + revolver phase for many years now lool (maybe it’s not just a phase) I remember I used to use the automatic rifle and the burst pistol as my main class and someone called me out for being bad cuz I could only get kills with auto weapons, so I switched to variable rifle and revolver and never went back, eventually switched to hunting rifle and boom I’ve never changed since 😂

The point about all the stuff in modern multiplayer games really hits home. A year after watching Sseth's review on Space Station 13, I had recently gotten into it to discover probably the most enjoyable and compelling multiplayer experience I had ever played. The game being 18 years old and free, the design was old and there is technically no point to the game besides having fun. On the contrary, I've grown tired of keeping up with multiplayer FPS titles to keep FOMO cosmetics. I thoroughly enjoyed the video (I had just come from your Iron Lung video) and I will probably watch more, keep it up!

[@Ward4mj]

My best memory of this amazing multiplayer game is that one time I was losing on supply raid my team were playing really bad so I started saving up ammo Molotovs and bombs to prepare for the comeback so I chose my sweaty VP class the score was 1_20 so basically it was me versus 20 on university so I pulled a merical and won and at the end of the game they went crazy and surprisengly they actually applaud me and said well played and that was the craziest comeback I've ever done it was the best memory from my favorite multiplayer.

[@superman10501]

Most underrated multiplayer game of all time imo. I love this game bc the stealth/lone wolf aspect you can get that feels more real then the run and gun shooters so popular today. It feels as if the action truly is real and reactive. Going behind enemies, setting traps, getting spotted, impromptu fist fights. All of it. Then the game modes where death feels as if it matters with a pool of lives set for the whole team. Nothing feels better in gaming then being last man alive with waves of actual players coming at you and you pick them off one by one until 0 and your team wins. That truly is a great gaming experience imo

For example, Tomb raider, Bioshock 2, Far cry, Arkham origins. Now the publishers quite strongly separate the singles and multi games because firstly money and secondly a separate audience, but I still have good memories of that time. As for the video, as I mentioned at the beginning, a good start for etudes on this topic :**

[@joshuaanderson6379]

this hit a different nostalgia chord - love this game [+]

[@mrcoffeeman3333]

I found this channel from your Iron Lung video and I am so happy that I did, your content is not only super interesting but also very very well made. Keep up the great work, I cant wait to see what you come up with next.

[@JayzTwoCentzIG]

I'm willing to bet the item disappearing glitch ( which I haven't encountered, to my knowledge) is related to your teammates nearby also opening their own boxes If I had to guess, the instanced items are conflicting and one of them had to go, or maybe the game thinks they got your items

[@kamilo034]

Factions was such a refreshing experience, back when it came out there wasn't quite anything like it, back then cod and battlefield type of multi-player was the rule, you spawn with 240 rounds, every resource you can and you don't expect to be alive for longer than 2 minutes, factions was so different, it was tactical, you had to watch your shots and be smart about your positioning, lay traps, bait in your enemies, it was very amazing and to this day I haven't played anything like that again.

[@supernacho8123]

Old Rainbow six siege.

[@cheemsrei]

I remember playing the Factions for a little while before the Sequel came out, had a lot of fun with it, definitely want to go back and play to get the final achievements for completing the Journey on the Firefly and Hunter Journey.

[@Deadpool6531]

This multiplayer and Batman Arkham origins multiplayer were just so underrated

[@caderomine8331]

You're by far one of my favorite KZbinrs I've recently come across. Your comedic timing is second to none, especially with that golf joke at the end, and I patiently await your next video

[@matias4336]

One of the best multiplayer I ever play on Playstation 3, I made a lot of friends and enemies in there

[@heroofmalta9158]

Played the shit out of factions all through high school, great times

[@Clerkz]

I love factions so much:) So hyped on whatever they gonna do with the sequal.

[@carlos85424]

i would pay full price just to experience this on my pc, last time i've played was in 2014, i miss it

[@ashe1996]

Though it really is not the same "Hood: outlaw & legends" is pretty similar to TLOU, plus it has the huge benefit of no one being able to shoot you through walls.

[@saaw8344]

Still good today

[@reicemo13]

Love this multiplayer so much, and it was the very first multiplayer that I didn’t feel like I needed to play with friends to have fun

[@diogo763]

Having those violent eliminations would be amazing in the MP

[@fungku9627]

I loved this multiplayer back when I was still playing it in PS3.. I love making a smoke bomb (smoke bomb won't affect you when it explodes in your face and it's almost an impact grenade) + stealth loadout (Faster and quieter crouch movement) together with a quick execution and crafting of Shiv to annoy the hell out of people. I loved the pump action shotgun power weapon and the Silenced pistol, although it takes 5 shots to down em with it, it was quicker than the revolver. I also love throwing the nail bombs, the fact that the fuse starts when it hits a surface, you can do some crazy throws with it. Tried using the Burst rifle, 2 bursts is enough to down someone but I couldn't get a hang of it lol.

[@za3739]

Oh god, I hated the Bomb Expert perk lol

[@user-ol1ep1yf8g]

Your review is informative and is also entertaining. I wish I have a console or a computer that can run games like this. Edit: I am reminded of Killzone liberation on PSP. Where you can also deploy your own traps in the match, and use a variety of weapons to take out the enemy team. There is melee button and you can perform your own "executes" as long as you are permitted by the weapon type you have (handguns does not knockout enemies)

[@Pepper-Zee]

Such a slept on mp. Unfortunately literally nobody I know talks about it. You know it’s good when you can still get a match in seconds about a decade later.

[@hekewhitu2222]

we still play this daily

[@5150ThisIsBaitPYSCH]

man i loved the shit outta this game mode, i remember being so upset i had no one to play it with, and that there's never been more effort or attention put into a sequel of it.

[@Roskycore]

I know this isn't related to anything but I love your selection of music, it perfectly fits the gameplay and meshes with the tone of your commentary!

[@starwarsmaster]

I’ve been playing the Last of Us! I beat part 2 first funny enough (I had seen a play through a few years ago when it released, wanted to do that first) and am now playing the first part. It’s so much fun!

[@dimes5737]

Great video! Very tempted to buy a month of PS+ to give this a shot now, I don't think I even acknowledged that this mode existed.

[@Tyocity]

I remember years ago I got every trophy in this game *EXCEPT* for the one you get for completing the Hunters' journey in multiplayer. I just eventually got bored. I think this will inspire me to finally go back and finish the multiplayer after all this time and get that platinum trophy.

[@veryconcernedjesus2584]

Cosmetics do actually play a role in gameplay Bright colored hat? Easy to spot Big hat? Can clip through walls and cover, exposing you The executions? Some of them are actually faster than the base game animations, therefore giving you more parts and killing you slightly faster

[@MOG_OliGomPos]

Ótimo vídeo. TLOU Multiplayer fez parte da minha vida.

[@OTZ_]

I guess this makes me feel a little better about trying out factions, I’m probably going to die a bunch but I’ll try and remember what I saw in this video and hopefully will keep play factions until factions 2 comes out.

[@TheStrela]

Still my favorite mp game, so much tactic, stealth and fun, a lot of different builds etc.

[@omareayalarios]

Amazing when you're not getting stomped on by level 999 teams

[@lnecbaal]

i remember watching a load of this when the game first came out, because i was so excited to play the singlleplaer but didnt want spoilers ffor the story. loved it when i finaly did get hold of the game (after my friend finished it and lent me his disc)

[@BeastlyGamer]

My favorite online game for the last 8 years. Even named my daughter Ellie...

[@TROPHYEARNER]

Finally got around to finishing the vid, and I’ve gotta say - in regards to the second Factions’ monetization, I’m 100% anticipating PlayStation to challenge Xbox’s new approach to “ethical first-party monetization”, as seen with Halo Infinite’s “FOMO-free” battle pass system. But, since they’re in no rush to drop this game, I imagine it’ll release as a fairly polished experience with a steady trickle of seasonal content lined up. Whether or not that’ll work out for them, I dunno - but, it’s what I figure we should expect from it. Anything else is gonna be worse lol

[@BroskiMcBrosef]

Factions is a very fun game, and thats coming from someone who has never played with their friends. Says a lot about a multiplayer mode when you haven't even played with friends and still loved it

[@Awesomewithaz]

If it wasn't so heavily weighted to older players I'd join

[@bahji]

wym? you can’t start now and still kill shit lol, like it doesn’t take long at all to understand the game &

[@mosig9022]

I still play factions almost daily. I’m really hurt by the cancels of factions 2

[@WorshipperOfKhone]

I'm going to be honest I still can't look at the last of us without thinking of The last of Us part 2. It really kind of tainted the game for me, but I'm not gonna let that stop me from playing the last one!

[@nexum1676]

whats wrong with part 2? im currently playing through it and enjoying it

[@WorshipperOfKhone]

@@nexum1676 all I could say is that it's story really made feel like something was really wrong

[@ervinsandoval5311]

I have played the mp for years and still the most unique multiplayer mode I have played in a long time

[@Chromeberd]

I know it's naive to recommend what to do next to youtube channels but I at the very least felt like I'm obligated to post in a video about "long running multiplayer games" to mention Titanfall 2's online community. If my post isn't to engage you to make a video then at least for yourself I urge you to check it out because it's dying at this very moment due to hackers and the lack of attention Respawn is giving it because of Apex. Right now you need a 3rd party client mod just to play Multiplayer and it's still to this day one of the best Multiplayer gameplay experiences I've ever had. And its community is genuinely nice and wholesome in my experience. But as dedicated as the community is it's hard to get a large amount of people when you need to install 3rd party clients just to get the multiplayer to work for the base game, so now it's sort of falling apart, and it hurts. At the very least I'm letting you (and anybody else) know that if you're even partially into games like Titanfall 2 even remotely then now might be your last chance to experience it as things aren't looking good in the long term.

[@PowerPakGames]

I love Titanfall 2, and honestly it is the absolute tragic mess that it's in that puts me off from playing. Needing a 3rd party client feels very 2012-multiplayer-mod, but I'm glad to community is still going despite everything. It's more than unacceptable that it and the first game are still being sold despite these issues. I might dive back into the fray in the future. We'll see.

[@Chromeberd]

​@@PowerPakGamesActually Titanfall 1 was taken down March 1st of this year and you can only play it multiplayer if you owned the game before then. But at the same time this convinced a lot of people to hack Titanfall 2 in retaliation which actually did a lot because of how poor and old Titanfall 2's engine was. So yea it's even more disrespectful than you would like to think as Titanfall 2 is a victim from both sides. "feels very 2012-multiplayer-mod" probably sums up my interests perfectly since I still try and run Battlefield 2142 on custom clients to this day so I guess I'm just more used to doing this. Absolutely fair to not want to go back to those days I understand. The issues genuinely can weigh down the experience. Mainly with waiting for servers to be halfway full and then getting absolutely destroyed by the experienced players who have been playing for more than a decade. In Titanfall 2 it's much better and there are some servers open at all times. If you want a certain game mode that isn't popular than good luck. Either way I felt like posting about Titanfall 2 because I think in the end we agree on the same thing. That a unique multplayer for a game (despite its age) should be more celebrated and made aware of because there's nothing else "quite" like it or even close in many ways. As an addendum Titanfall 2's community has always been so nice to me over the years. Something I will miss most of all if/when the game's multiplayer finally goes for good.

[@Lunk42]

Factions was so damn good maybe one of the best multiplayer modes I've played.

[@bambi20082148]

I loved it, was sad that people easily dismissed it

[@kozak107]

I have some of the best memories from this game, the clutches with only the enforcer, those moments when there's explosions and smoke everywhere and you have no idea what is happening, saving a teammate from getting killed by blocking the enemy from sprinting towards them, but there's one that always stayed with me I was playing against a team that was only using the assault shotgun (that broken shotgun that is a standard weapon that can 2 shot you from short and medium distance and fires quiet fast) and the burst rifle, and also the special shotgun, I was using the spectre because I had enough of them and one of the guys messaged me because apparently I was "bad" by using that machine gun (he was using both shotguns) Next match started, new players came to his team that were playing fair, except for him, I was using the suppressed enforcer and the machete, I was constantly hunting them down and using the shiv on them, I think I killed that guy around 4-6 times, he was clearly pissed off, so once he spotted me, he had the special shotgun with 6 shells, the dude literally spammed that shotgun to try to kill me, he managed to put me down but didn't execute me, thing is, he ran towards me to execute me like in pure rage mode, and he got shot by my teammates that were around the corner before he could even get close to me, then he proceed to rage quit while he was being executed He didn't dare to message me after that

[@cm8152]

it's by far one of the best multiplayers at all. I was really surprised the first time I played it and still love to go back and play or watch streamers play it

[@Tourettes-syndrome-gaming]

If they make a golf club a melee weapon they have to make some edgy golf related pun as the name

[@scraub8913]

I adored the multiplayer for this back in the day, I always loved the blood pooling on shirts. Really makes your attacks feel more impactful. One of the few really cool stealth PVP games I've played.
