Evolve’s problems are deeper than its nickel and dime content

Evolve is taking a lot of stick right now for its perceived greed. The game is happily charging for cosmetic content on day one and has a pre-order and DLC system so ridiculously convoluted it has long overshadowed any goodwill players had for the makers of Left4Dead.

Been telling people since the early gameplay trailers, this game should only be $29.99 at the most.

masterfox4082d ago

29.99 ? it should 19.99 at max hell or even F2P! I mean play 1 round of the game and you basically played the whole games premise, saw lots live feeds of this game and the only thing they do killed the monster or be killed and run like a maniac practically thats it!!, most of the time I keep watching for like 3 minutes max and then get bored right away.

Pintheshadows4082d ago

You do a lot of running in this game. It is I would say maybe 85% of the game. The other 15% is the combat. It is just so uneventful most of the time.

Eidolon4082d ago

F2P would have been sweet. :p Well I got it on Gamefly, only paying $13.50 for 2 games out.

Fireseed4081d ago

Because artists aren't real people right?

TheSaint4081d ago

What? What does that have to do with anything??

A.d.d. multiplayer only garbage at its finest. Bring back the single player games with multiplayer as an afterthought. The direction toward only online has been ruining gaming by declining campaign necessity courtesy of c.o.d. and battlefield

Evolve has huge potential for SP with some good writers. The premise for the MP is beast! Monster hunter evolved.

Nothing wrong with multiplayer only games, they have their place in gaming just as many others. Just because you and a select few do not like them doesn't mean they don't deserve to exist. I don't like sports games, doesn't mean I think they should stop making them, I don't like linear single player only shooters, doesn't mean they should stop making those, I didn't like Left 4 Dead... well, you get the idea.

As for Evolve, from what I'm hearing, the problems seem to be that the game is one that should never have had a full price tag from the start, as it lacks a lot of content even for a multiplayer only game, also the greedy DLC practices.

If you don't like mp only games, don't play them you crybaby. There are plenty of other games out there for you to play, go play them, skip mp only games, and shut up. But you're a spoiled and entitled brat to demand that EVERY game should cater to your opinion of what a game should be. In fact, you are what's ruining gaming, spoiled, entitled gamers.

Now go play another 6 to 8 hour linear game with no re-playability and no memorability to it, gaming is still infested with them.

Basically a online game multiplayer game but I like it

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4082d ago (Edited 4082d ago )

The games garbage. Move on.

Yaay4me4082d ago

too bad, I was hoping this would be a game to play. I still think its worth a try though, and to be honest, I haven't had a lot of trust in journalist's opinions these days. However, this author seems to have some real criticism which is fair, but then I don't know the full details of circumstances of the game, nor whether the good outweighs the bad. So here is to taking things with a grain of salt. Otherwise good job with an objective review, although it would have been complete if it pointed out the good as well, and not made a final conclusion as to whether the game is worth purchasing or not. (that is very subjective)

Report: Evolve 2 Was Once in Development, Concept Art Reveals Scrapped Sequel

It has been recently revealed by an artist that a sequel to the 2015 title Evolve was in the works. However, this project wouldn't last long.

jznrpg268d ago

Didn’t bother with the first one.

TheColbertinator268d ago

All I wanted was Left 4 Dead 3 instead

Abnor_Mal268d ago

Was this game ahead of its time? A few years later games like Dead By Daylight, Friday the 13th and other asymmetrical games exploded onto the scene.

MeteorPanda268d ago

if lm not mistaken it started the asymmetrical pvp matches. Evolves logo was a nod to their concept.

The_Blue268d ago

They should have because I played the first one when it was already dead

Evolve or Die: The final days of the follow-up to Left 4 Dead

Back in 2016, Turtle Rock announced that support for its 4v1 monster-hunting shooter Evolve would end but fans wouldn't let it die.

‘Evolve: Stage 2’ is back from the dead as peer-to-peer servers come back online

From NME: "Evolve: Stage 2 had its multiplayer servers shut down back in 2018, but today players are once again able to matchmake and join peer-to-peer multiplayer games.

Several months ago, peer-to-peer functionality was lost for Evolve Legacy, which was the only way fans of the series could play with friends. Upon a multitude of players reaching out to publisher 2K, the issue was eventually fixed earlier in July. It seems 2K have gone a step further now, and reinstated peer-to-peer and matchmaking functionality for Evolve: Stage 2 after four years."

MIDGETonSTILTS171358d ago

^^this, I have so many awesome skins on Xbox that I’d rather not lose

Germaximus1358d ago

Yes so far because it's just the servers alone coming on and the console version never had the free-to-play update.

I imagine if they find people playing the PC version and enough players are enjoying it then they'd probably reconsider opening console as well but I wouldn't count on it.

The game was epic as a monster. Hunters were really boring to play as to me.

LordoftheCritics1358d ago

I used to play this a bit.

Was kinda fun.
