Turtle Rock the makers of left 4 dead New co-op shooter Evolve

[DarthSkywalker]

So I just read about the DLC pricing. Yeah, I was excited for this game. Really excited. But I am not buying it now. A combination of annoyance and principle.

 

[zenith16]

yeah saw that happening in other places.

 

[TheVileOne]

Then don't buy the DLC. All the new gameplay modes and maps they release for the game updates will be free.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Then don't buy the DLC. All the new gameplay modes and maps they release for the game updates will be free.

Or don't buy the game at all, which is what I am choosing to do.

That stuff should be included, but even if not, make it reasonable. $15 for a monster? I am sick of the, "we would have included it, but it wouldn't have been ready for the release". Then delay it a month or 2. This is a game that lives and dies by the updatable content and playing online. I am done with this anti-consumer BS.

 

[Benstamania]

I'm not buying the game.. Beta has been extremely dumb. People either drop out or whoever is playing the Monster is for some reason away and we slaughter him in no time. Add the whole DLC pricing crap to this and.. Yeah. Keep your Evolve Turtle Rock.

  Turtle Rock Studios is taking special care to make sure whether you're the monster or the soldiers you will have fun, but there has to be one you're more interested in playing as.

I just can't get all that excited for a miltiplayer-only game. Especially one that is 1 vs a team of people. If I'm gonna play nothing but multiplayer, I at least wanna be on a whole team of people. The concept just doesn't sound interesting enough for a whole game, imo.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Left 4 Dead sucked ass, I dont know why I thought this would be different. This is the first game I bought and disliked in a looooong time. I'm usually dead on when it comes to buying games, but I dropped the ball here. What's funny is I knew I'd prob dislike the game as I despised L4D and didn't really enjoy the beta for this one. But I was jonesing for something new and one of my buddies wanted me to snag it so I did. Mistake. This game is just hella boring at the moment. All my matches amount to my team chasing after a run away monster, he evolves to level 3, runs away some more, then the match ends. It was the same way in the beta. IDK, maybe I just haven't played with a solid team, but eh I'm not really feeling this at all. I'll deff spend some more time with it as I don't want to completely write it off after a few hours, but its not really grabbing me currently.

I do like the concept(and all the creature/hunter designs are pretty kick ass)tho, the idea of hunting some creature is pretty cool, I just think the hunting part leaves a lot to be desired. I don't ever feel like I'm hunting anything, just following a bunch of waypoints to areas where a creature once was.

 

[terry78]

So it's basically just a bunch of running around.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

So it's basically just a bunch of running around.

That's how all my matches have gone. Like I said, I'm not gonna write it off after only a few hours, but it just seems like it's one long chase for the hunters. I'll be able to sink some more time into it later today.

 

[the last son]

So, you can come in here ripping award winning games in Left 4 dead, but when I do it, it's unacceptable? Tell me what game won more awards between Evil within and Left 4 dead? I say Evil within is underwhelming and you call me out for lack of gaming knowledge, yet you type how Left 4 dead sucks? Get real.

 

[VictusMortuus]

So far I've been having a lot of fun playing this. It's definitely a game that requires good teammates that work together. I've not encountered many matches where I found myself bored walking around, there are enough elements of danger apart from the main monster that it's still exciting. Also if you prefer going at it alone the AI is pretty good in single player.

 

[terry78]

I think more or less you have to take this as kind of a Scooby Doo thing. Its you four vs. one Old Man Jenkins monster and you gotta strategize your traps, hide when you need to, etc.

Concept is great, I agree.. but in the end it feels like a game that should be F2P. Charge for skins, monsters and gear but the base game is free.

That's how it feels to me anyway. Also, the progression system is horrible and feels completely tacked on.

Thats because you are constantly off. Its not just one or two things, just about every post you make is just awful. With you its a pattern. Its clear you don't know what you're talking about. Its not one or two posts, its like, all of them. You're just a lost little dude.


So then, now thats iv taken care of you, again, back to Evolve

I played a bunch last night and while im still not loving the game, it is starting to grow on me a bit. I played a private match with a buddy and for the most part it was a lot of fun, granted I think we cheated and made the monster a lot weaker, but it was still a challenge to bring the beasts down and when we did, it deff felt like an accomplishment. I think partying up with 5 people and playing a private match would be a damn blast.

 

[Destructus86]

So I just read about the DLC pricing. Yeah, I was excited for this game. Really excited. But I am not buying it now. A combination of annoyance and principle.

Same here...I refuse to buy it because of the DLC. I won't support that kind of industry.

 

[the last son]

You can't admit when you're wrong can you young man? Why didn't you answer any of my questions regarding l4d vs evil within?

 

[Quasimod0]

I loved both Left 4 Dead games. Just thought I'd share.

  At long last, the final game is here, and remains true to what we've seen before; Evolve is a concentrated and highly replayable experience, if you can accept the limitations of its unique format.

  Evolve certainly offers something different, but does it have any lasting appeal?

When I played this during the beta, the monster controls sucked a barrel of d***s

have the controls been improved at all?

Goliath is the Most Popular Evolve Monster

Now that the monstrous new game Evolve has been out for more than a week, developer Turtle Rock Studios has released a nifty infographic showing fans some important information. It seems that Goliath is the most popular monster, being played 37% of the time (the fact that he’s the first monster unlocked and isn’t a pre-order exclusive probably has something to do with that). Another interesting figure is that a Stage 1 monster has a mere 11.2% chance of winning, but if you level up to Stage 2, you have a 47.8% chance of winning. If a monster isn’t slain before reaching Stage 3, the Hunters are screwed, because then it has a 76.7% chance of victory. This means that if you’re playing as the monster, you’ll want to get to Stage 3 as soon as possible. The longer you stay alive, the better your chances of victory.
Evolve is available on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. We’ll have a review in the first week of EP Daily’s new season, which premieres Monday, February 23rd.
