If it's co-op that makes sense and is fine, if it's deathmatch bullshit then it's more me-too multiplayer in a game that doesn't need it and nobody will play for longer than a week.
Why do publishers/devs insist on wasting time and money on that shit. Not only is it stupid because casuals stick with COD or their preferred game but if this game's story is an actual story and focused on the characters humanity it's completely contradictory to then have some separate thing where people kill each other in some 'fun' closed section like it's a murderous theme park.
Imagine if after the credits rolled on Raging Bull a comedy sketch started playing featuring all the characters from the movie doing zany stunts for no reason other than to appease comedy fans. It would be just as ridiculous as if multiplayer was added to a game like Alan Wake or Heavy Rain. If Last of Us is one of those character heavy games what's the point of deathmatch multiplayer other than to be a comedic version of Raging Bull.
