still tacked on. and ND say the mp will be released as a separate game of some sort in the future. what is the problem here?

Probably because they just said they were gonna release a full version of Factions eventually instead of tacking it on.

Tacked on?!?! There’s nothing tacked on about Factions MP! It is a unique, stealth-focused and crafting-focused MP that is slow, deliberate and extremely tactical.

Multiplayer in TLOU was far better than it had any right to be. Even the Uncharted Multiplayer was fun in its own way.

You “Solo only” is a popular internet take which is fair but I remember a lot of people really liking that multiplayer. Plus plenty of great single-player experiences that could be turned into multiplayer if people were willing to give it a chance.

You speak as someone who didn’t actually give multiplayer in TLOU a fair go.
Me and everyone who played a couple of matches minimum ended up getting obsessed with the incredibly fun multiplayer..
