Factions was all I ever needed, now it's cancelled. I want something tactical with teamwork with a bit of grit and grime. Don't like COD, Battlefield, and I hated Destiny.
No Resistance, No Killzone, No Socom. We have nothing. I've been a PlayStation fan for about the past 15 years, supported the 3, 4, and 5 but I can see why Sony fans are called dweebs. We get nothing but single player games. I've enjoyed all of them, but still, I need something different.

Sony is starting to make me antsy. They have no FPS or TPS games coming?

Tour is over boyo.... Unless we are surprised and ND flips their TLoU Online assets into a Factions 2 I think realistically Sony has nothing to scratch that itch, well either does MS, but I think higher chance 3rd paryt fills that void before Sony at this point.
Factions, I was there, nearly 10k hours of play time, was good while it lasted.12-5-23

Even back in the PS2/OG Xbox era, it is known that PS are for single player games while Xbox are for FPS/shooters. Of course, things are a bit grey now, but still holds true.
Still believe one or more of their studios are cooking some FPS. I just hope not Killzone, that game is boring af story wise.CHRISTMAS Forever Crew

I was there.... Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all boyos.
That is all the buzz and makes a ton of sense but I am not sure the timelines really work unfortunately so I won't hold my breath as I think Factions fans are being a bit too optimistic. But I'd hate not to see some iteration of Factions 2 at some point with TLoU Online scraped, would be damn near criminal.12-5-23

Shame on you for never playing factions.
Factions is a mixture of aggressive tactical stealth and a team work. The closest thing to Socom we had tbh.
It's not beginner friendly at all, especially now since it's 10 years old. Lobbies still fill up very fast at all times of the day. Crazy how it's still going strong.

The big problem with it now, is yes, the game is still very serviceable 10 years later but literally impossible for newcomers, especially the party lobbies which is where most newcomers will play, playing with friends. My crew got our buddy to try it, dude is an absolute beast at shooters, probably best in our crew, has won COD tournaments, played 5-10 matches, he didn't get a single kill and said he couldn't keep trying and I don't blame him. The learning curve is so steep and the guys running those party lobbies still 10 years later just don't give a newb a chance to even learn the game.

It's definitely a game of ruthless aggression. I'd almost consider it old school multiplayer, a bunch of veterans that curb stomp noobs. No matchmaking of any type, just git gud.
You seem like the smart type, you'd play well tbh, just gotta have teammates that will teach you and show you the ways. Plenty of miscers still play i think.
It's hard for me to believe that noobs can't git gud, but I've been playing day 1.
Would probably have to set up a private lobby and help him out? Or just play solo, solo lobbies are better and randoms still use mics. What type of support did you give him? Did you try to spot enemies?Last edited by MikeLowrrrey; 12-19-2023 at 01:53 PM.

We tried to get him to play no party lobbies to get the hang of it but he was so discouraged. I mean I get it, I can't imagine trying to learn that game at this point.
But it does present a problem being the only Factions we have, new players are coming in at such a low rate because of this.12-5-23
