The State of The Last of Us Factions in 2024

i really hope they wont ever shut down the servers, this game is special, i want to be able to play it for the rest of my life. if they ever decide to shut it down then they should at least remake it, keep the movement and mechanics exactly the same just upgrade the graphics, add new masks, maps, maybe guns. no battle pass bullsh*t, keep it simple. that'd be lit but i know that wont ever happen so f*ck Neil and the whole ND

my buddies and i used to have "faction nights" where we would stay up until like 7am playing it. god i miss those days

It’s so. “Disappointing”. And honestly almost depressing to see such a game with such an attractive world not have the activities available to experience it in? To not have the ability to experience things like coop against the infected or multiplayer like factions. It’s just so dumb to have such a good IP but do nothing with it. It’s just so stupid how “safe” they’re playing it instead of going all out and adding more things to do in this universe truly one of the gayest decisions of all time. Funny to think we live in a world where the schlock’s of cod get gluttonous amounts of additions and experiences while things genuinely interesting and inspiring like the last of us get nothing. Makes no sense

Gotta say. When I first started playing factions it was solely for the multiplayer trophies and getting the platinum. But each match I went on it became a chess-like survival game that made me be so cautions in my management and actions. I got so addicted to that concept, the original concept of TLOU game, that even though Naughty Dog won't do any sequel to this marvelous add-on. I will gladly keep playing it. It's just simple team fun. What more do you want?

It’s mind blowing that they really don’t see how a new factions can be super beneficial and lucrative because I know they’re worried about money, its like they want to give us nothing we want, like no body asked for so many remasters no one

It's so good to see other people have such love for Factions. I was absolutely addicted to this game for the longest time. I've got about 2000 hours in Factions. I have never played a game that much

I’ve only recently gotten back into playing this Multiplayer since I last played in 2016. Watching your videos has been a great help in getting me up to speed in the current state of this community. Much appreciated 👍

I reflected once I reached level 999. This game is amazing, played since nick eh 30 played this and made videos of it. Nothing ever compared to this game.

I play this game every day - I love it! I love the randomness of playing with actual real people and not against the computer. I wish ND would fix the bugs and cheats. They could also add it to DLC for the other versions of TLOU/2. If they take down the servers then I expect my money back, because I have spent quite a bit on guns and costumes etc.

Hey Dr.pooplove can you make a showcase video series going through the perks in Factions? Id like to see your take and explanation on each of them. If no can you do a tier list on them.

The way to enjoy Factions is finding the right time of day to play. If you play from 4:00 pm Central time US to around 4:00 am Central time US you will decrease your chances of playing with people with an internet advantage. I have played at so many different times against the same people at different times and between the hours of 4:00 am to around 1:00 pm is when I have found out that the severs match you more with players from either South America or Europe. That time frame is when I find players whose shots never miss or they can move faster than me. And when I mean move faster I'm not talking about crabwalking. 90% of the loudouts I use have Agility 2 as perk and I constantly get my ass handed to me by players being faster than me or I have to land more shots on them than needed. For example it will take 3 shots from the tac shotgun or 3 hits with the stick or 4 to 5 shots with the revolver. This is also when my smoke bombs area is drastically reduced and bombs won't down players. It's also the same with molotov. So play in the evening to late night to avoid these issues.

This is the only competitive game out there that's actually fun.

2:52 the t bag got me 😂

loved this mode back in the day. happy to hear its still going!

I still play this when I get the chance . Hopefully servers don’t shut down . Just being able to have a multitude of approaches on how you load out and even play is amazing .

We all have to move on at some point, 2013 was 11 years ago, some of us already have jobs or family, I started playing not long ago but I'm sure I will move on after some years just like the original players did.

I’ve been a daily Factions player for years. Ironically, since “No Return” came out I haven’t returned to Factions at all. It seems NR has successfully replaced the one game that I’ve always come back to. I wonder if any other Factions players have this?

I just want them to make an update for the original factions. Patch cheats like wall-shooting or crab-walking. I’d much prefer maintence on something that everyone loves as opposed to investing in a factions 2 that may or may not be as good as the original.

I have played the last of us part 1 day 1 on ps3. I played the living hell of it until they shunted down the ps3 servers. Ever since then I haven’t touch last of us faction due to studying medicine. I hope this multiplayer still lives on. I’m glad players like you keep this community alive . Thank you

Praying we get multiplayer in part 3
