Naughty Dog’s release of new DLC for The Last of Us made a lot of people angry

"Naughty Dog managed to make a lot of people angry by announcing even more DLC for The Last of Us."

[randomass171]

I'm not angry at all. If you don't like it then don't buy it. I think this DLC is cosmetic so you don't even need it to get the most out of the game.

[XiNarutoUzumaki]

Entitled People complaining about stuffs that they either don't care or don't need.

Nothing new...

[equal_youth]

these headlines try to take the fun out of gaming :/

[Eonjay]

Everything makes someone angry. Nothing new.

[Ace Killa 08]

Internet angry is not to be taken serious.

[Gaming101]

lol people are mad about... being able to buy a hat? Or a useless mask? Evidently if you bought all of this on PS3 it's cross-buy so you get it free for PS4... so if you can't play multiplayer without your stupid mask, you can stop crying.

[ChrisGTR1]

i'm somewhat dissapointed , i hop online for the first time and i see tons of masks and helmets i cant even use unless i pay. i thought all the dlc was supposed to be included with ps4 version.

[johndoe11211]

I don't see this as a problem as long as the ps3 users are getting it free as part of the season pass. From what I remember, it was quite clear that the remastered edition would feature the game and all the existing dlc from the ps3 version. At no point in time anywhere did they ever say that the remastered version would include free future dlc. And for the price of the remastered version, I don't see why they should give it free anyway. If you want it buy it, if you don't then don't buy it.

[XisThatKid]

Sooooo now we're getting mad for businesses for being businesses?....

[UltraNova]

@John

Yeah but please tell me they couldnt wait to announce this DLC a couple months after the remastered's supposed "all including DLC package" release...

They already had this made by TLOU: R's release...

One could say they are milking us? Its a choice right? hmmmm

[rawz]

That is exactly what I thought first. "Nothing to complain about" "Items are just cosmetic"

But you are all wrong. Some people really thought that when buying a remastered version it is like buying a ps3 version with a season pass. So yeah, if you want these for your PS4 it's gonna get _too expensive_ since there is no season pass for PS4. One should also consider the fact that many people bought tlou again with no discount. Now they have to pay even more from the additional content.

This is wrong. And let's be honest here - if someone like EA or Microsoft would come up with this people saying it's ok now would be pissed.

[Wizard_King]

Anyone that buys this twice deserves to lose their money anyway.

You know what they say about fools and their money.

What I am interested in know is if any future story or MP DLC for TLOU remastered will also feature in the PS3 versions.

[UltraNova]

@ wizard

Anyone with the most basic trade in experience can get away with the full price. I traded my ps3 copy for 25 euros some 2 days after ND announce the remaster and bought the remastered ed. for 39 euros. I haven't played the Left behind dlc so for me this game cost around 15 euros about the same as if I bought the dlc.

Why call people fools like that when someone sees value in buying the remaster again? Take it easy dude.

[wsoutlaw87]

Whats the big deal with everyone paying money these days to dress a charecter up and make them pretty

[extermin8or]

Cosmetic stuff I don't care about but the new weapons and perks that effect Gameplay I don't think should be for sale not at all nevermind on release day and when quite a few users are probably already rebuying the game as it is and new players coming to try multilayer for the first time don't want to have to buy weapons to be on equal footing with other players-no one does and eventually it will ruin the flow of the game selling weapons and perks as dlc never benefits anyone also why is this tiny amount of dlc aesthetic and Gameplay stuff so expensive....

[Revolver_X_]

Off topic: There are these things in grammar called periods. They go at the end of a sentence. Jus' saying.

As someone who bought all perks and weapons, I can tell you definitively, they are balanced. I dont even use anything outside the Enforcer anymore. The perks dont cripple the game, as they are situational at best. The weapons are all balanced and fairly weak in general. Especially that launcher. It sucks tremendously, even with the perk paired with it.

[r2oB]

@ revolver

Balanced or not, the fact that you can buy gameplay altering items with no way to earn them, gives the game a pay-to-win feel. They should have given the option/ability to earn the DLC weapons and perks for those that would spend time, rather than money, getting things.

[DukeofRandomcat]

Still, truth was that it said all the dlc from the ps3 would be included, meaning the international hats. I had the season pass for ps3, just kind fo wish that it included all of this.

[Ozmoses]

it's from this....

http://blog.us.playstation....

look at all the comments that can't understand that if you the season pass dlc for PS3 carrys over to PS4...

they don't understand that the season pass DLC ended and any new DLC like the Killer Masks for $7.99 is brand new and not a part of the season pass DLC...

if you bought the season pass on PS3 than the stuff is there on PS4... plain and simple. the stuff that came out after the season pass ended you still have to purchase...

[FriedGoat]

My season pass didnt carry over from my EU account as they chose to censor the god damn game AGAIN, I went with a US copy. Now I have to buy Weapons and Skills again, It's pay to win and its a disgusting practice for a full price retail release of an OLD game.

[Wizard_King]

And this is why anyone that buys a season pass for any game ever is just part of the cancer and should stick to MS consoles for life.

[Ozmoses]

@FriedGoat

well obviously the DLC won't carry over separate regions.. that is why there are separate regions in the first place...

I mean if you have the UK DLC and bought the US version because of the censorship... well, you made that decision so if you want the DLC you better buy the US region DLC..

you made the decision.. regardless of the censorship or not... you chose to buy it from another region.. so yeah you are fully expected to chalk up the cash again in my opinion..

not to be a hard ass.. that's just how I see it in regards to your situation.

and it's not pay to win... considering 4 extra weapons and 4 extra skills aren't really that much to change the tied of the game...

a standard semi-auto fully upgraded is easily able to own.. same with any other weapon... especially the bow... it's all about shot placement in TLOU MP... headshots are the difference maker... bombs planted in random places are the difference makers.. a smoke grenade and than a shiv to the face is a difference maker...

not DLC.... you barely have enough loadout points as it is.... the normal weapons are plenty good enough.. so if you think a few DLC boosts change the tide of the game than I want what you are smoking.

[HanzoHattori]

"If you don't like it then don't buy it"
I completely agree. Downloadable content is optional. No one is forced to buy it.

[FriedGoat]

I would agree if it was just hats, but its weapons and skills that give other players an advantage. Your not forced to buy it unless you want to be given a disadvantage in a competetive game. how stupid.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Agreed especially for this game.

The standalone game is worth it on its own and you can tell how much work was put into it instead of just cutting parts of the game and throwing it away as DLC.

[lex-1020]

Here's the problem I see. They waited until the Remastered version was released so that people would have a rejuvenated interest in the game then decided to sell new DLC. This is smart business but the Remastered edition was supposed to have "All" the dlc in it.

[Darkstares]

It does seem kind of odd with the timing of it all. You would think they would have included this DLC on the PS4 game. Maybe it was rushed to fill the void before the other big games come out on the PS4.

[lsujester]

Being this is entirely cosmetic, it would have been more than easy to make it between going gold and the release date. As far as game-making goes, something like a hat or mask is simple compared to the rest of it.

[Kavorklestein]

Here's another dymanic to think about... what if naughty dog really COULD have released TLOU even earlier on PS4, and they exaggerated the difficulty of porting it over from PS3? What if the time that they said was being used to "re-work the code for the game" was actually just them devising these new weapons and testing them in MP and creating new DLC?

[wastedcells]

Only thing that sucks is a grabbed the game and a bunch of dlc and now I have the PS4 version. Would have been nice to get some kind of discount or something but anyway put my ps3 version up for sale on postedbygamers so hope to recover some money.

[CuddlyREDRUM]

When you expect little, you get little.

[AgentSmithPS4]

The price was stupid for those 'masks', and you thought horse armor was bad lol.

[paidadvertiser]

Guys, I think you might have a misprint on your box because mine looks like this: http://oi59.tinypic.com/25p...

I don't think it says "All DLC" anywhere, I don't even know what that means. Why should it even be okay to get angry that you can't dress up your virtual doll for free? Am I dreaming?

[Ghost_Nappa]

40 people think silly hats are a gameplay changing experience. ****ing morons.

[Mithan]

I agree, its stupid. Gamers are so retarded at times.

[FamilyGuy]

Where were all these complaints in Uncharted 2 and 3?
Those games had tons of cosmetic DLC for the multiplayer and maps.

This is not something new so I really don't get the issue besides the people wanting to have a season pass (ALL DLC included) option on PS4.

[FanboyKilla]

lol seems like this article is bs. all the ps fans here dont mind and see nothong wrong with it. next up tlou definitive edition with all dlc. keep up the good work sony.

remastered? i guess it sounds better than port. and i guess $49.99 sounds better than letting us rent it on that ps now set up. hmmmmm like if you really wanted people to play it why not put it there with the other old ps3 games? who is coming out on top here? the gamer or sony? #fortheplayer keep it up sony, your fans here on n4g are loving it, and they are kind of fun to watch.

[Catoplepas]

Nobodies angry.

[Yi-Long]

I'm angry about the unnecessary censorship here in Europe.

[esemce]

Yeah that's I bought the US version from the American PSN store but now I can't transfer my season pass over from the UK PS3 version as the DLC is region locked.

I assumed the PS4 version included ALL the season pass content but it does not.

And ND selling MP perks and weapons seems sad to me.

[Yi-Long]

Thanks for the heads up. Will stay away from the USA version as well then for now.

Such a shame. Been wanting to play this game since it came out, but didn't bother because of the censorship in the PS3 version, then just decided to wait completely for a PS4 version, and they censored it AGAIN(!)

Ridiculous.

[user7402931]

that is the problem with sensational headlines, 7 (questionable) people can get on a blog and complain about the dlc and headlines make it sound like 1.7 million 2.4 million are standing in the streets with molotov cocktails screaming and burning flags. i bet more people will comment on this thread than the people actually complaining.

[-Foxtrot]

I kind of got the impression that people would of been more angry with the fact the new weapons they've added has made the online a little unbalanced. Those new weapons were not needed at all.

[randomass171]

New weapons? I thought those were skins like in Gears of War 3? That's definitely a better reason to be upset if they are new weapons.

[-Foxtrot]

Most of them have silencers aswell

[ZombieGamerMan]

Ah I've been playing the mp and the new weapons barely anyone use and the ones that people do you use like the spectre while OP is not a weapon you can equip easily and need to buy with parts so there's that. I've been playing the game on PS3 I have none of these DLC and I never find a situation where I'm losing because someone has a piece of gear I don't have

[extermin8or]

I agree new weapons and perks shouldn't ve paid dlc ever it messes with the feel of the game.

[Revolver_X_]

The Enforcer is weaker then the revolver. The double barrel is a joke. The launcher is a joke. The Assault Rifle downs quicker then the Spectre. Look at the stats as proof. Where do u get unbalanced? If anything the double barrel and launcher should be increased.

[r2oB]

The revolver downs in 3 hits and the Enforcer downs in 4, but the Enforcer will shoot 4 rounds quicker than the revolver will shoot 3. Basically the Enforcer has a quicker time to kill than the revolver, despite being weaker.

[HaveSumNuts]

It's cosmetic DLC not weapons or exclusive missions like Ubisoft does with every single one of their games. What I despise most is pre-order DLC but hey I wouldn't think it's worth getting a little extra content for the risk of a possible graphics downgrade or the game being a complete turd.

[AntsPai]

It actually is weapons though. I don't really carr though, I don't really play online, don't want to start at level 0 again... Saying that I might do for 100% trophies lol.

[Riderz1337]

Talk about blowing it out of proportion...

"A lot" of people are angry? This game has sold over 7 million copies and there's like 5 ppl on a forum complaining. I wouldn't consider that "a lot".

[guyman]

Idiotic

[Kivespussi]

Well... I bought it on PS3 at release day (45€) and the season pass (+20€=65€) and the remastered edition (+40€=115€) so it's one of the most expensive games I've bought. And now they are adding even more DLC that's not included with the season pass...

I only have myself to blame but still, they're milking out everything they can from this game. At least have the season pass include all DLC.

[aksmashh]

Ive done the same thing (spent £100+ on TLOU) !!!!

But I've played TLOU more then the 6+ games I've bought after!!! Lol

[Sharius]

what? everybody angry?

what an idiot, i don't even care about these DLC nor buy them either mostly because they don't fit my play style, and you know what, i f***ed alot of guy using them in online match

now my only wish that please fix that f***ing broke matchmaking in PS4, they work perfectly in PS3 but not sure why they are broke in PS4

[Omar91]

Im upset but not because of the DLC, but because I would love to play a few matches with my friend but the matchmaking is atrocious. It takes forever to get in a match. I hope a new update is in the works very soon. Because I need to get my platinum for this game!

[funkybudda]

Why be mad at ND? It's a unfortunate practice in the industry, we can only be mad at the gamers who had spend money on DLCs the past decade to let it become what it is today.

[2pacalypsenow]

Damn them for trying to make money

[aquamala]

News to me PS4 version doesn't include everything in the season pass

wait for TLOU Remastered GoTY Edition?

[WitWolfy]

Got to love the the ass kissers on this site thinking ND will suck their junk for defending them. Let those people have their opinion.

Its like assholes, everybody has one.

[memots]

Who is defending who/what? What does ND need defending for, What the hell are you going on about here. We are talking about Video games here.

[oODEADPOOLOo]

I liked the game, mainly because I never played it before and the DLC included with the game is better then what they are selling on store (helmets). I don't even like the DLC helmets anyway, like the look of the free ones ironically. Though I admit from what I heard about game it gave me the impression that ALL DLC was included. At least its not anything major though.

[XtraTrstrL]

I noticed alot of the DLC was pretty expensive, but I wasn't angry, because it's all cosmetic. It's not like it's crazy pay2win stuff. I just don't buy those items, and keep it moving.

[aquamala]

they are not all cosmetic, there are perks and guns you can only get from spending real money.

[XtraTrstrL]

Oh snap.

[extermin8or]

The perks and guns make me passed off. Not because I want it free but because i dont think guns and perks should ever be paid dlc.

[CervantesPR]

what a bunch of crybabies for reals

[martinezjesus1993]

The only thing that got me saying, "well that sucks" with tlou remastered is that i was under the impression that we would get all the guns for free that were dlc. But i got over it, like 3 seconds later.

[mrmack00]

So the Remastered version I purchased doesn't include all the DLC from the original game? I'm not upset..I just want to know what I'm missing so I can buy it. I want to play the original game, Ellie's story, and whatever other additional stories..Anyone?

[martinezjesus1993]

It has everything the original came with, and all the dlc except some aditional guns and perks for multiplayer. Not a big deal. What this guy is complaining about is that they just anounced aditional dlc, that will include a couple more multiplayer maps.

[46889337]

They have been going overboard with the release of new DLC. Charging for new online maps, and story DLC is fine. But charging for difficulty modes, unbalanced weapons, and costumes, is ridiculous.

[Corpser]

Fix ps4 matchmaking first ND

[Gamehead36]

Man most of you guys just blindly comment. No they are not all cosmetic. There are many new perks and guns, WHICH ARE ONLY AVAILABLE IF YOU PURCHASE THEM. There is no way to unlock them otherwise.

I am all for Naughty Dog making money because they are arguably the greatest developer of all time, but come on people. Know what you are talking about first. I think it's safe to say most people have a legitimate point being angry about the imbalances that come along with perks and guns only available through purchase. I am one of them because I bought the remaster and am a huge fan of the unique online.

[ZombieGamerMan]

no they don't because those extra perks don't do anything that makes it unbalanced and I don't have them and play the MP regularly and I never found myself in that situation of some guy beating me because he has things I don't have.

People are just being cry babies because that's what they are, bratty babies

[Thatguy-310]

Exactly the guns/perks that they introduced have nothing special to them. I bought a few guns but even then I'm still owning people with the best rifle or semi auto. People just complain because it's not free. I think if you don't agree with it then simply don't pay for it. Don't criticize the others that want to

[Gore-Content]

F***ing whiners I swear. F***ing COD and other games release dlcs ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[memots]

the hate and double standard for this game and sony is becoming a little ridiculous

[46889337]

So because Call of Duty does it, that automatically makes it okay?

It's hilarious how you fanboys try to justify crappie business decisions whenever you're favorite company gets criticized.

[Thatguy-310]

No one is saying that it's OK. The problem is that people are acting like it's the first game to do it.

[S2Killinit]

Actually I'm pretty happy about that. why would they get mad?

[GearSkiN]

Im happy about the remastered, not happy that it suppose to include all the extra and it didnt... Still have DLC to get... Smh.

Oh matchmaking is slow as hell.... Cmon!

[AiirJordann23]

They really need to fix the matchmaking it took me 20 mins to find a match

[Silly gameAr]

How many people have to be angry to be able to make an article out of it? 2? 3? 5 random people tops? Oh, and about the dlc. This dlc was made after the season pass. Suck it up.

If doesn't affect the core game one way or the other and it's optional to buy. I don't know which is taking more fun out of gaming. The gaming industry, the gaming media, or the so called gamers.

[BlizzardHrr]

How is it a ripoff for the people who bought it on ps3? They can trade in at GameStop for $25! That's a deal for a good game. And for the dlc? There just trying to get.money. how do you think valve get money from tf2? Don't be pissed off cause developers are trying to get more cash by not spending another couple of years for just 1 game! They do some hard work don't say you want there dlc free when they spend a lot of time working of games for you and trying to still keep YOU happy.

[iNFAMOUZ1]

well that's cause they dont have a ps4, that's their fault

[mrpsychoticstalker]

So upset right now....

[ziggurcat]

how can you get upset at something that's out for a system that you don't own, let alone for a game you've never even played?

[MuhammadJA]

Me too, i couldn't find a ps4 at my local store.

[SynestheticRoar]

Pissed off. I brought the season pass. The DLC should be free for me, but it's not. Their in let's get payed mode. They did the same with uncharted 3.

[ziggurcat]

season passes only ever apply to a certain amount of DLC. this is the case with every single season pass that has ever been attached to any game.

[lemoncake]

Maybe we will get a remastered definitive goty edition that is actually complete at some point.

[scottieleverne]

A little devious. Something I would expect Microsoft to do.

[kewlkat007]

money grab

[jpepsi24]

is see what their upset about buying a brand new game and adding some little trinkets to go along with it
its stupid but i get it

[AiirJordann23]

They need to fix the matchmaking it took me 20 mins to find a game

[hiawa23]

Not sure why the anger. Just don't buy the DLC, if u deem it not important, or worth it, but last I check these guys are in business to make money.

[mcarsehat]

It accentuates the notion of a game being remastered only for money. A GOTY game should NOT have DLC out after it is released, you should get all prior DLC with the GOTY or else there is no point and it is just for money.

[sandman224]

How about the free dlc. I thought it fame with 8 new multiplayer maps. I can't play them. Wtf. Am I doing something wrong. Please help.

[Petebloodyonion]

It's funny how easy PPL are mad at EA for all the transaction in ME3 and how they are evil about the micro transaction in the game (when you can still unlock the content) But it's totally ok when Sony does it.
Oh and by the way the evil company(EA) actually released all the multiplayer content free of charge (maps, new character, and new style of play)

Now I know that I will tons of disagree cause i dare stands against the grains and will have some " Nobody's forcing you to buy the hats DLC and stuff"
Well I would like to remind you that a lot of that crap was free in Uncharted and I didnt need to buy a pass to watch a making-of video or pay for clothing to change Drake.

Lastly to drive my point. Yesterday the forum was trolling with negativity for Capcom or Crapcom about how resident evil would be a bad Port to make a quick buck. But they actually announced more new Stuff compare to ND initial announcement for TLOU Remastered (5.1 sound, 1080P, new control scheme,4/3 and 16/9 and a new paining camera system).

Again proof that there's a double standard here

[Khronikos]

Yep, ND has these tweens firmly by their balls. They don't even question anything. Honestly the most useless generation in the history of the US.

[cyclindk]

Only thing I found aggravating was that as far as I can tell there is no "All-in-Once" bundle for everything. And of course the fact that almost NOBODY has the sense to create items for download/sale at the sub-99 cent level... penny or dime items... would fly off the virtual shelves...

[Khronikos]

FOR ALL YO INFORMATION PEOPLE ARE PISSED at the community being split up AGAIN with DLC maps. It is facking ridiculous at this point. The game has made probably near .5 billion. These guys are getting way too greedy and the fact all these tweens defend this crap is downright crude idiocy at its most finest.

[MoreRPG]

Thats what happens when you get used to ps+ freebies. People don't want to pay for dlc. Although i have to admit the price is kinda high.

[BrianG]

According to the article people are saying they were led to believe that the Remaster would contain all DLC?

Did anyone read the contents of the Remastered Edition? Nowhere does it say all gun bundles and gestures. It includes the Map Packs from PS3 version and the Left Behind prequel story. Anyone who believed anything different is ridiculous. Learn to read.

[mcarsehat]

They wouldn't have a good enough excuse (in a monetary sense) to bring it out, that's WHY dlc is included, to give it some real value to people buying it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be made.

[stripe814]

why are you gonna be angry. the last of us you pay with dlc is on ps3..the included dlc was on ps4.

[0P-Tigrex]

There is DLC for 3 new maps. Do you need to purchase the maps or are they free?

[Slevon]

If a Arkham Batman GOTY edition came out and I bought it, then they release more dlc, no matter if it's "worth it" or not i'd be pissed. Why is it okay if ND does it?

[Hanuman]

There are a lot of newcomers to the series, and more DLC means more to choose from.

[zugdar]

Sweep the cutting room floor. Put it in a box and... DLC!

[TimeSkipLuffy]

As long as the DLC adds value to the world of "The Last of Us" they can release those DLCs. Everyone can decide if they buy it or not. No reason to complain here.

[TransientDreamer]

Don't like it? Don't buy it. Simple.

[gigoran]

"Hey. We made this really cool game that lots of people love. Now, we are going to do something that almost every other game maker is doing. That is to release some new DLC."

(people moan and complain)

"For real? We can't because WHY?"

[Keregan]

What ? There are people who are still playing this overrated tps ? ....:P

[supergravity]

Who would that be? Hmmmm...

[testerg35]

C'mon. No matter what Sony does its "OK".

[supergravity]

What did they do? Deserve to get paid.

By funding a MASTERPIECE, I think they're exempt, it to me is obvious why somebody would want to try to discredit this game. The dlc, if somebody has looked isn't expensive, its low cost, why not they deserve to get paid kind of stuff.
