Some things I hope they fix based on TLOU:
- Hit detection. Not sure if it's lag, but several times I pass a corner and still get downed. It gets really annoying sometimes.
- Proper netcode. It's amazing how quickly and intuitively you get in a game with Casualfront. 2 1/2 years later, I still get the "Make sure you are online, settings 1, 2 3, zzzzzzz" Why is this the only online game that this happens on consoles? Not a big MP gamer but this happens 1/3 or 1/4 times. Overall just taking too long to get online. Also the first 3-4 months when TLOUR came out, it was nothing short of a clusterfuck. I'm still salty about this because one of my best friends stopped playing because of this reason, and he really loved the game.
- Horrible matchmaking at times. Level 6, 12, 23, 17 vs level 139, 412, 79, 345.
- Having typical OP guns. Bought shotty is still one of the worst guns in any MP game, but it's more evident in skill based game like TLOU. Still blows my mind that besides being so OP, it has such a ridiculously fast rate of fire. Tactical shotty and bow also have a very fast rate of fire. Uhhh.. I'm convinced one of the MP guys at NG is a scrub in MP games and keeps adding shitty additions. Made up person that probably doesn't exist, hold this never-ending L and go code for COD please.
Concerns because it's a Naughty Dog MP game:
- Microtransactions. I know they've talked about it, but I'm going with waiting and seeing rather than believing. I'm still pissed off at the perks and guns needing to be bought in TLOU. Have they commented if maps are free or do we have to pay for them? NG, please keep micro-transactions cosmetic and taunts only.
- P2P instead of dedicated servers. I know this is a Sony issue and if a gaffer can ever ask Sony on a podium where Shu, Boyes etc are there.. can you ask them this, "Sony asked us to pay 50$ a year to improve the overall online experience for us. Hundreds of millions of $ now go to Sony for this reason. Is there a reason one of the top 2 devs in your first party cannot have dedicated servers for a very dedicated online fanbase? Where is the mandatory 50$ a year going other than your pockets?"
- Balance. Generally they do a solid job, but mysticals and bought NPCs have me worried. Will have to wait and see for this as well.
- Being Uncharted 3 MP.
Not really worried about SP since it'll likely be the best SP game next year. :\ But I would love for MP to be good and to be played for years to come. I still play TLOU MP.
