Tyger7 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I'm seriously starting to think the Shopaholic achievement was an accident. It doesn't make sense that there's less gamerscore for that than reaching level 60, let alone some of the other easier achievements with equal score. It almost feels like a mistake on their end and if it truly wasn't it's a huge middle finger to players. There aren't enough game modes, maps or content to warrant the time this achievement would take even if you liked the multiplayer. The multiplayer isn't nearly the worst I've ever played. The biggest thing that makes it suck is all the down time you spend in the lobby with huge countdowns between rounds and matches, waiting for a lobby to populate to then finally begin another countdown and the damn respawn delays. I had to quit a ranked free-for-all match because after about six minutes a fourth person never joined and we just sat there. All the waiting just takes it out of you quick. Hope they just fix it, I'm sure there are tons of other forums filled with the same grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolfDamo Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 okay so I'm at the point of no return (metaphorically) I think in the story, just want to say this now, before the ending, great game, really enjoyed the story and gameplay so far, but it's kind of wrecked by SO MANY COLLECTABLES. they have just ruined most of the story emmersion. What's the point ramping up any sort of story tension then seding an area with 40+ shiny objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalterWhite Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Hope they just fix it, I'm sure there are tons of other forums filled with the same grief. I haven't started the story yet so I don't know who this character is you have to be in third prestige is that you unlock (I don't need any spoilers) but you unlock Lara at level 60 first time through and I can't imagine he's more important than her as a reward. I know sometimes there are goofy achievements with low score that take forever to unlock but this just feels off. If it was a mistake, which is totally a guess on my part, it would be great if it gets patched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberPirateNinja Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 There aren't enough game modes, maps or content to warrant the time this achievement would take even if you liked the multiplayer. That's why they're gonna sell you extra maps as DLC. Surprised this game didn't get a season pass, they seem to be all the rage these days.

Haha, oh I don't doubt that but still, if they doubled what the game shipped with it would still be about twenty-five percent less than a standard multiplayer offering.

Not played any MP yet, but it can't be as bad as Aliens:CM, there's only 3 different maps for the TDM mode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalterWhite Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Trying win a ranked FFA is a right pain lol everyone in the playlist are like commando's rank 40's+. Yeah that took me about seven games to get, I thought it was going to take forever. I was tied at thirteen kills and got a double with the grenade launcher for the win and unlocked Master Blaster and I'm All That for the finish, I was quite pleased with that bit of luck. Side Note: This feels like a Rockstar multiplayer suite. Super-frustrating and the biggest enemy is the camera when it comes time for close quarters combat.

thewyseone Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 i love the story mode,no rants as of yet,a little over 50% through story. multiplayer in shantytown how do people shoot you dead when your in the middle of a dust cloud the you cant even see out of so effortlessly?@#*@#^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEG23 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Trying win a ranked FFA is a right pain lol everyone in the playlist are like commando's rank 40's+. After going up against the same I finally won by 1 kill only to not have it count on the tracking screen. The match ended normally but no recognition for winning:mad: Side Note: This feels like a Rockstar multiplayer suite. Super-frustrating and the biggest enemy is the camera when it comes time for close quarters combat. This is my complaint, especially on the Monastery level where 90% of firefights take place in that 1 building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob101910 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 My only complaint is the achievements. I'd like to have some story related ones instead of so many multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroSpartacus Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 My only complaint is the achievements. I'd like to have some story related ones instead of so many multiplayer. I was surprised there were absolutely no story-related achievements other than just completing the entire game. I would've much preferred a few mid-story achievements and another one for beating on hard (doesn't seem that hard, but still) instead of any MP. If nothing else, just taking out shopaholic and level 60 would have made it a lot better. As far as the SP goes, I loved the game. It was a bit short (~15 hours with a good bit spent in the middle finding most of the collectibles). I'm really hoping that there might be some story-based DLC in the future. Any multiplayer DLC will just leave me with a bad aftertaste... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koopakiller64 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I loved the single player to death, but the Mp is plain awful. I scrapped up the easy achievements for it, but couldn't make it past level 5. MP in Far Cry is bad, but this game easily takes the cake for worst MP I have ever played. I guess it's just not for me.

wouldyoukindly Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I loved the campaign to death, and the achievements for it aren't too difficult. But multiplayer achievements are just plain cruel. 3rd prestige? Really? I'd rather play the single player game multiple times for multiple achievements than play 40+ hours of mind numbing multiplayer for cheevies worth 20 gamerscore.

tkhbecker Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 2 Playthrus for Chatterbug which netted me a whopping 5gs. Ill play MP til 60. Shopaholic isnt worth the time or effort for a glitchy no fun tacked on MP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgymang Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 This could possibly be one of the worst multiplayer components to any AAA gaming title I've ever seen. Who the hell created the net code for this? I haven't played a game with net code this bad since Singularity but at least that game was kind of fun on the MP side.

AmbaLaBamba Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I quite enjoyed the ranked matches I took part in, the only thing I'm hating at the moment is the long wait to reach the 3rd prestige to buy my final character for the achievement.

ChArG1nMaLAZ0R Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Online in this isn't awful tbh. There's more going on in the maps than in games such as gears of war and what not with all the things you can do. only problem with the multiplayer is that it is not 'cool' to like it. that said it freezes and hangs on loading screens far too much and the shopoholic achievement is plain annoying and the game didn't really warrant it. single player is great but very short and from what i'm reading incredibly glitchy.

JuSt BLaZe Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 single player is great but very short and from what i'm reading incredibly glitchy. I don't think it was short at all. It has a decent play-time when you go for all the collectibles. Also stop reading, play the damn game. I only had one bug problem and that's it. Worked fine from the beginning to the end till the 100%. No freezing, no glitches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone4aDuck Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I never had any glitches on single player. I still preferred the story on the original uncharted game. But it was a great tomb raider game and fun to play. Can't stand the multiplayer though. Still can't win a ranked FFA. Boost anyone?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Frost Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I wish Single Player had an achievement tracker like Multiplayer does... Hell, even a general stats page showing headshots, kills with different weapon types, number of guys shot off ziplines, etc. would be better than the nothing that it has now.

Tentaklaus Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 The campaign was fun, but it was a bit short. I had some fun on the multiplayer, but cannot bother to grind for the achievements... none of my friends are getting this game so I'm thinking about returning it in exchange for something else. Overall a good singleplayer experience, nothing gamebreaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
