are you ready /v/? EVOLVE IS MAKING A COMEBACK
finally pre-ordering and buying the hunting pass, will pay off, its time to apologize
>>344085827
0,02 $ have been deposited to your bank account.
Telling all my friends atm about it. Pretty hype. They never did anything like this for DLC updates. There's a timer, THEY MEAN BUSINESS!I love you Turtle Rock send me free stuff
>>344086226
unfortunately we run out of money by giving the other promoter our last 0,02$. A free copy of EVOLVE has been sent to your email adress. Enjoy
>>344086045
>>344086438
Shilling aside we already have confirmed it's
-F2P model of some sort (Proof is you no longer can purchase Evolve on Steam as of today)
-Revamp for a "Bigger audience". Maps have been stripped of vegetation, more lighting, and damage shuffled around to make fights last longer
This is good enough I suppose since it's actually an ok game. Hell even HAWKEN is alive again now that it's F2P on consoles. Now I just hope they have some ingame currency you can grind for characters and maybe some new heroes to boot. This will fall a bit flat honestly if they don't add new characters and/or a new monster. It's been 7 months since we got an update, it's very possible.
Mite b cool. I'll reinstall it tonight.

Evolve has been great from day 1. But of course since there's no waifus, /v/ ignored it...
>>344086834
>HAWKEN
Hawken is really fun though
>>344086975
Hey, some of the girls are pretty cute
>>344086834

Wait, Hawken is alive right now?
Someone post that evolve pic
>>344086834
>remove vegetation
well there goes the whole "hunt" aspect of the game.
They just needed to adjust player speeds. Too easy as monster, have won 44 games as goliath and lost once. Just run away till stage 3.

>Evolve
>No Waifus
Whattafag
>>344087001
Hawken has been more dead on PC than Evolve anon. It's actually been in the top 20 played Xbox games, it's doing well on console. F2P is where you put your game if you want people to play it for long term. I love HAWKEN and Evolve. but truthfully I didn't see myself playing Evolve ever again with 15 minute queues just to fight some top 5 monster player.
I'm pretty excited to try out Evolve again if this is a f2p re-launch.
>>344087078
Yes, HAWKEN is now big on PS4 and Xbone. A lot of pros have swapped over actually. PC community never appreciates good multiplayer games like consoleplebs do. Hell Strike Vector is coming to X1 and PS4 soon too.
>>344087190
Something they're trying to fix, apparently, is the "flee until stage 3" mentality.
>>344087236
Except no one was pumping out tons of porn videos and comics about Evolve.
I hate Blizzard so freaking much. They paid some nerds to make some porn for Overwatch and everyone ate it up.
>>344087190
As someone who has played Evolve for months, I'm excited to see what they do. Flee till 3 is no longer supposed to be viable or something. Idk how they pulled it off, but it's supposed to be non-stop action now.
remember when the asshole dev tried to shill this shit nonstop ? what a piece of shit game
>>344087452
I love Overwatch, but seriously I can play that shit with my friends Wife with 3 kids and still pull wins. Evolve was pretty intense and my casual friends always fell off. I might be able to coax them to come back if it's a bit easier for them. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the new heroes were boss. I played the shit out of E-MET.
>>344087568
I'll take things that never happened for $500, Alex

>>344087236
>Hawken has been more dead on PC than Evolve anon
I have never waited longer then 5 minutes for a game of Hawken
>>344087370
I didn't even know Hawken was on consoles honestly. I guess I may give it a try again. Though you are saying it is more active on consoles now? Not PC? Hawken seems to have like 300 players on PC right now.
>>344087568
>Professional developers
>Posting on Neo-V ever
Pick 1
>>344087810
HAWKEN is just under Titanfall and Doom on X1 atm and there are about 4,000 people on Titanfall online right now. It's pretty sweet seeing all the C-RT newbies running around. I'm really surprised how well people are coordinating and playing togehter so well. I've been stomping with Predator.
>>344085827
Did they fix the part where there is rampant dlc in every aspect, only one fun game mode, and the only fun game mode is repetitive as fuck.
>>344087370
PC just has better options. When you've got NO GAMES, even PC leftovers are a step up.
Still, it great to see these projects getting new life. HAWKEN was just an FPS with aesthetic differences, but it will impress console players who thought that Titanfall mechs were "pretty good". Evolve was just bad business, but when a company invests that much the only way to get them to realize they have to eliminate pricing is to threaten bankruptcy.
Still, not sure how well these games will play. Strike Vector and Evolve were pretty graphically intensive. Removing the vegetation in Evolve will definitely help bring it in line with console power but I'm not sure what changes they can make to vector since a game that fast really suffers at less than 60 FPS.
>>344087740
have fun
>>344087190
That's funny because my buds and I recently got back into evolve after stopping 3 months after launch and as hunters we have never lost a match. Including full stack evacuation.
>>344088734
Nope, you can buy weapon skins for like 5 bucks a color. If you're really fancy you can 3 star a character to unlock their pro skin, for their weapons only of course.
>>344087568
Evolve is a legitimately well made and entertaining game, it just had a) the worst payment model fucking ever and b) like THREE different betas/free weekends meaning I literally never paid a dime for it and have 60+ hours played.
>>344088752
Evolve strangely looks really good on console. I played PC and console version with different friends. That CryEngine man, worth every penny.
fuck off TRS.
>>344088762
Yeah there was never any room for baddies in Evolve. If your 4 man was top notch the 4 man wins every game. If your 4 man has a weak link the Silver+ monster would win most of the time, Gold instant win.
I'm curious how they plan to bring the game to the casual F2P audience.
Wasn't there a huge update that was supposed to come out a few months ago but it ended up being held up by the editor or whatever ?
I'll play but if monsters and mercs are behind a paywall it can fuck right off.
shit game shit thread
wouldn't play it for free
Why should I care? These developers clearly don't know what the fuck to do to have an actual playerbase.
>>344089670
Some super secret legal battle. They never disclosed on why that occured. Hopefully it was something like getting crossplay to happen, but it was probably something we'll never see the light of day on.
skins and crates incoming
>>344089929
Evolve is a niche game, it's very good but not for everyone.
>>344089942
Evolve is a tragedy of a good game completely mishandled by suits. TRS fucked up a lot too, but they never wanted to release Evolve so early.
>>344090024
Skins are already in, I don't remember if you can buy them or not though
>>344088753
When will he learn?
>>344089365
Nah, depending on game mode you could just rogue Val run away and kill level 3 monsters with poison while your team kept respawn in and getting killed. Or you could use the teleporter chick and back and forth across the map until it timed out. Again it all depends on game mode, and not getting fucked out of your class choice by some faggot Mexican who just bought the game and gets preference for choice.
>>344090295
Weapon skins, and monster skins.
remember playing it during the beta. was mostly boring but i remember a couple fun moments. wouldn't play it on principle though after how it was handled. also why would anyone ever play humans? boring as hell. same thing with natural selection 2.
>>344090904
I prefer humans, a lot more rewarding to win with.
>>344088753
>"If Evolve fails, so does gaming."
Holy fuck I forgot about this. How delusional can a person get?

>you lived long enough to see people throw "muh f2p revenue" at you and then see those same games move to consoles, where they are undoubtedly better off
Why does PC even exist?
>>344091417
Are you in the right thread?
>>344091672
In this thread, people were talking about Hawken and Strike Vector going to consoles, where they undoubtedly became more popular. Most of the community migrated to consoles for Hawken, and the new Strike Vector game is console exclusive.
PC is a fucking sham.
>>344091417
to filter out undeserving titles
>>344091993
Calm your tits, it's like Console players and PC players are mostly into different things. I never understood the console war shit. Devs who make multiplayer only games should focus on consoles, they'll make more money.
>>344091417
Thats because everything usually cost money on consoles, of course people eat it up.
There is so much free shit on PC, ontop of pirating, we don't need to relish in the free stuff you get.
It all just depends if your free stuff is attractive enough.
>>344085827
personally mad at Hawken for turning into call of duty in robots.
Before the "mlg esport" community bitched endlessly about TTK being too long forcing team effort instead of lone wolfing.
They made a balance pass that made it so there was no reason to play heavy or medium mechs, as the TTK was so low it was only viable to use the light mech with the duel howitzers as armor didn't mean shit at that point.
The game died, it died because of a community of loud bitchy shitters like how APB ate shit when all the enforcers collectively bitched that it was 2 hard for them.
Sometimes developers should stop and think, "are the people bitching in the right?" because you may be surprised that it flushes your game down the toilet if you listen to the wrong people.
Hawken barely has enough people to ever get a match going on PC, unless they changed something recently, it was pretty dead since the MLG players fucked it up.
APB is still alive, though I don't think its cops n robbers anymore, just normal match making multiplayer which means they discarded what made it unique, but its not dead.

It's not going to be F2P, already confirmed thatowners of Battleborn will get Evolve for free
Just checked currently 81 people playing Evolve on Steam. Nothing can save it now.
>>344092374
Is this a virus
>>344092297
The Hawken players moved to console.
>>344092374
Wait is it going free for PC only? Also says July 7th is when it's going down. So tomorrow.
>>344085827
>evolve is making a comeback
>posts information that supports your statement?
>>344092201
So if what you're saying is true, then the F2P model is exponentially more profitable on console than on PC. Much like how pay to play games are exponentially more profitable on console.
PC is going to die once and for all once all F2P games move to console.
>>344092374
>"Anyone who owns classic Evolve will be given “Founder” status in the new free version, and all the content you already own comes with you to the new version. As long as we work on Evolve, we will show our appreciation for our committed fans and early adopters with gifts, rewards, and special access. Why? Because you believed like we did, and we will never forget that."
Thank god, I just bought it on sale. League of Legends grind model incoming.
>>344091993
>doesn't have Evolve anywhere in his post
How about that.
>>344092374
>Somebody asked if there is a Wii-U version coming
>>344092672
Free for PC starting tomorrow. That's it.
No one will give a shit. The games got a bad reputation already, going F2P doesn't solve that. Especially when 90% of people who bought it hated it ebcause it's a running simulator anyway, which I've heard is a small step up from a walking simulator. You'll get maybe a few hundred new people, and if you're lucky, maybe 30% of those will buy a $3 dollar skin or two. There's no redemption for Evolve what so ever.
>>344093074
>that awkward moment when the Wii U is more relevant than PC
Why didn't they make the game 20 bucks?
It'd probably not as seen anywhere near as much shit if they didn't charge through the fucking anus on launch
>>344086834
>Maps have been stripped of vegetation, more lighting.
Yikes, why not just fucking butcher what little the game already had going for it?
>and damage shuffled around to make fights last longer.
Yea this shit can stay dead.
>>344086975
Evolve's problem was it communicated poorly.
The advertising material made it look like a high octane, action packed game. However, in reality it's rather slow and methodical. A lot of people were disappointed. Plus, they didn't explain the DLC properly so everyone thought it was pay to win, or at least unlock new characters.
>>344092374
>LOOK AT ALL OF THESE MEDALS, AND RIBBONS WE WON, WE ARE REALLY GOOD PLEASE COME BACK
and here i was thinking that battleborn wouldn't be going free to play because evolve was a game designed around esports and battleborn was as hell but here we are
>>344093251
99% of the bad rep was the payment model.
Serais I thought you stopped shilling this dead ass game over a year ago.
>>344086438
>A free copy of EVOLVE has been sent to your email adress
FUCK, i needed those 2 cents to feed my family
>>344093584
Evolve's Esports tournaments were pretty fun to watch. It just really needed more monsters and hunters to choose to spice it up.
the game has been confirmed free too play for pc master race
>>344085827
>>344088753
>now we have to deal with this faggots constant shilling again
So they take a game, that released with a shockingly limited amount of content, at premium price, and then shove so much DLC up the ass of the game, that the dubious player base that was stickign around straight up DIES. And the answer is to just remove the initial cost? lmao, I'm glad these fucking retards are putting even more capital and time into their game. They're a bunch of greedy, greedy motherfuckers, They'll still charge premium for their laundry list of DLC, with some dumbass ingame currency being a million fuck yous for one character. I hope they dissolve, this sort of business practice shouldn't be condoned, and it wasn't the first time around. Probably one of the best things the PC community managed to do was slay this shithole of a game, I really hope we dont resurrect this shit at full force.
I was top 10 with Hank and someone else.
Did they change the color of hanks beard? I don't remember it being brown and I have 255 hours in evolve.
>>344093251
Ehh, I don't think you're right in this case. Sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder and want this game to fail.
This is great news and I bet a healthy community is going to develop as a result. F2P is powerful. There wasn't much wrong with the game to begin with aside from 4v1 being niche. It was primarily a DLC outlash.
>>344093251
>no hunters team vs hunters team
>no 4-way monster battles
>campaign still won't be expanded
>new skins and characters will still be expensive
>>344093614
And now it's how the game's dead and boring anyway. I mean fucking 81 people are playing right now, even with a F2P spike you're not gonna fill the game up. This isn't like Titanfall where making it free semi saved it, no one likes the game. It lost 75% of it's playerbase in less than a month according to steam, that wasn't due to price.
>>344093802

So... what's the point of big maps now?
Might as well be the same map every time?
As a person who 80 hours Evolve (Stopped playing months ago though) this seems retarded.
It was a hunt and hunted game.
They already had an arena mode.
>>344094102
>This was my first tortanic and I get insecure when people call me out for being a newfag please don't take this away from me
>>344093931
>F2P is powerful
Not this powerful, period.
>It was primarily a DLC outlash.
Followed by the hype train crashing, as people realized it wasn't fun without friends, and 90% was just RUN YOU BASTARDS RUN. Get the game got mediocre scores and heavily shat on regardless of the DLC.
>>344093832
The vast majority of DLC is just reskins which isn't that bad.
The bigger issue was how one monster cost 10 bucks.
Was EVOLVE on sale during Summer Sale?
>>344094102
Nah, I'm just someone who was mildly interested in the game but refused to pay as much as they were asking when I had The Hidden: Source.
You, on the other hand, have revealed that massive chip on your shoulder for sure. I wonder if you paid for this game and are salty because that means you wasted your money for nothing.
>>344094195
>>344086834
>hunting is no longer part of the game
Uh....... so what's the point of the trapper class now....?
>>344094229
>>344094404
thicker
>>344094195
I think that poser over exaggerrated. The new maps are moslly a lot brighter while giving monsters better pathing. Plus for both sides.
inb4 its a remaster
You can pay for evolve AGAIN
>TFW you remember they sold this game with a, "PC: Monster Race Edition".
>The PC Master Race ended up fucking hated it the most out of all platforms the game was sold on.
>>344094487
Trapper is CC class. All classes can dome now. No more shitty fuckwads with dome.
>>344094318
I'm putting my money on the people who play video games, rather than neckbeards on /v/ who hate video games and haven't played them in years.
>>344094667
So what's the point of the trapper now?
The trapped was priority target 1 thanks to being the main mobility kill.
>Making it easier to soloqueue on
I'm re-downloading. My biggest problem was pubs had too much power to cause me to fail. This caused Monsters to dominate the queue instead of the team which required 4 people.
I'm glad this game is getting a new lease on life. I'm also glad I'm getting founder status, or whatever.
I bought the game for full price and I got a decent amount of mileage out of it. I do think it's not balanced right though. When I play as a monster, sometimes I will deliberately hold back. I'm not saying I'm good at the game, it's just too easy to escape to the other corner of the map the second someone sees you.
Hell, I was playing with a friend and he said he only saw me for one second when I was a monster. What happened was I heard the hunters talking among themselves and one of the COM controlled ones said they spotted me, before he even saw me. The only thing he ended up seeing was my ass disappearing into the bushes.
>>344094524
>I told you not to call me out!!
>>344094794
Idk, we'll find out tomorrow. It does seem weird tho. I'll still play Maggie regardless. I love me some harpoon traps.
>>344094675
Go for it mate. If we could meet I'd be willing to bet you my fucking house and life savings, that not just Evolve, but the IP itself is dead. I give it a month at best, before Evolve is back to where it is now at 81 players.
>>344094892
maybe it'll get big again. there's a chance
It's a fun game.
It shouldn't have been priced like AAA game though and they shouldn't have tried to spread hunt over 5 different game modes.
So with Evolve F2P.
Does that mean plans for a sequel was probably scrapped?
Never heard of a F2P game that then got a paid sequel?
>>344092374
>They still think those 65 pointless fucking awards mean anything.
LOVING. EVERY. LAUGH.
>>344095210
Evolve should be treated like a moba. It just needs to be F2P and have content pumped into it.
It's a fine game, but seriously that paid DLC was fucking terrible.
i-it was just the p-pricing and dlc.. the game itself was g-g-g-good...
Turtle rock are the biggest dumb asses on the planet
They could have been Valve South, instead they got in bed with 2K who forced them to chuck in heaps of DLC & a $60 price tag, completely killing an otherwise good game

I'll definetely replay for free.
sucks that the best game that's been made just had the worst pricing... baka
>>344095909
No. I don't think Wraith can even stealth anymore, he like clones himself only. Tho I think they buffed the clone for this.
>>344094675
You're not welcome here. I suggest you look towards a better echo chamber for your sort of folk. Like a_noose.
They are making it sound like it's going to be on all platforms, but it will be F2P on PC first. Apparently this is pretty much a re-launch and they want feedback on how to improve the game.
Interesting. I'll be watching this closely, Evolve wasn't that bad of a game I'd like to see what comes of this.
>>344085827
The tracker/hunter negress with the dog was pretty cool.

Got 60 hours of the game.
No regrets.
>>344096582
You lost 60 hours and $8 though
>>344085827
Well, at least we'll always have the memories of Vore furfags defending this game to death in here
Even if it does go F2P, people will not be flocking back to it. Especially now that this game has taken the spotlight.

This is gonna be the most horrid """free""" to play experience ever. Prepare for getting one character, one weapon, one map, and everything else is for paying customers only. These were the guys charging 20 bucks for a recoloured skin, you think they're gonna let you play the game for free? No strings attached? Fat chance, they're gonna make you pay for content by the minute now. Turtlestein studios have shown their true colors, and they are putrid. Not touching this with a ten foot pole even if they paid me to play it.
>>344097201
You can use the same argument for Evolve. 99% if the hunters caught the monster when it was at stage 1, they would ragequit. At least in DBD if someone on your team gets caught by the killer, you can still win by escaping yourself. If even one person on the hunter's side slips up in Evolve, the whole game is thrown away.
>>344097742
Strike Vector 2.0 coming to X1 and PS4. Bots, new maps, jets, etc.
It's a shame it's not coming to PC. It's like Strike Vector EX or something and it's coming this summer to consoles only.
>>344097679
and none of that is relevant in the face of the problem with it being that way at all/in the first place lol baby brained retard. something being not required =/= something being immune to criticism

You guys mean the game where people constantly piss and moan about how impossible Wraith is to see and how "overpowered" he is, and then promptly rage quit because they can't handle video games.
Is it a meme game?

>Make another season pass, this game should cost $120 dollars imo.
They fucked up too hard in the past, they started way too late in trying to save this piece of shit.
>>344097775
I disagree with you.
Plus the removal of vegetation give the monster less to hide with
Honestly, playing as the monsters is pretty fun and their designs are great.
All the hunters are shit though, and even as the monster you're just running away for 20 min to feed before having a 3 min end fight

Well Sony are the winners of the console generation. Why would they use an Xbox controller? Would it be more marketable if they had someone playing on a keyboard? Bottom line is that Sony shaped the current video game market, for better or for worse.

Kraken was still top tier when I played months back. I know there is a subspecies kraken that can't fly so good now and looks badass. I think they toned down his autoattack and thats it.
You can really tell in the thread who bought it and who didn't
>>344099610
I bought and I don't recommend trying it even if it's free.
It's a fucking massive download for a game that fun for about 5 hours.

I think near-immediate feedback of one's bullshit is what makes this place a cut above. The speed is relevant because that makes the feedback matter emotionally.
If you consumed media elsewhere it's one directional - from them to you. The comments sections of those places are slow and moderated and you know the audience consists of adult-minded people.
Here, it's fast, not moderated, and you know that the person here is not an adult (minded). The lack of "adults" here is also very relevant because "adults" don't change their fucking mind. Because they're old and/or their boundaries are very clear. If you visit 4chan, there is no fucking boundary in your mind, there's less a chance you're going to look down on something you disagree with out of a sense of immaturity - you're going to disagree with it because it's fucking bullshit. On a proper site - they'll just call you a child and ad hominem your ass.
what I don't understand is how the fans of the game are somehow mad and buttfrustrated that it's now f2p.
with how dead the playerbase was, it can't have been an enjoyable experience searching for games. It's not like they're getting fucked over, this is good for them

You don't even have to run until stage three
In the beta I could run into the enemy team and kill them stage 1 because everyone skilled their shit wrong
iirc you needed firebreath and dunk and you could easily wipe them stage 1
monster/goliath was always super strong and good goliaths basically never lost even against coordinated teams because of how much damage he did while being tanky/mobile

The DLC was bullshit. I never bought the game, but IIRC you had to spend like 120 if you wanted to get everything. I don't mind LIMITED unlocks in game (TLoU makes you play about 120 matches [30 hours?] to unlock everything), but there should be no option to purchase those unlocks, and all the base characters and monsters should be available from the start, for no more than 60USD. Cosmetic DLC is fine, provided a significant amount of cosmetic items are already in game.
Just sell the fucking complete game, niggers.

>>344094102
If you actually payed attention when it came out there was an entire movement just giving the game negative user scores saying only things like "obvious cash grab" and "too expensive" Most people were actually fine with the gameplay on the beta events they just didn't want to shell out 60 dollars +DLC on a game with only one game mode. I'm not saying the hate wasn't justified, just some people will most likely check it out again if it is cheaper/free
Evolve hurts almost as much as spore to me
If only it wasn't so casualized and a dlc shit fest
Instead of following the glowing bright tracks I used my headphones to listen in on the monster's breathing and far away footsteps, I fucking LOVED tracking the monster in that game
hopefully it can hold onto a player base now

Why were TF2 fans upset when it went f2p? What about gw2 players? Its all this weird form of backwards entitlement, you see it in RL all the time too whenever someone pays less for something or something is given to them suddenly elders have to step in and make a point that they had to do more work for the same stuff or some shit. Basically people naturally want everyone to either be on the same level or below them.

Not enough content.
Only 2 characters per class, 3 or 4 monsters and only a small handful of maps.

Are you fucking retarded? The game was pure shit. You could play for like two hours and that's how it would be for the next 100 hours. It was advertised as being the next Left 4 Dead. Hurr Left 4 Dead when you fight a tank. Unfortunately fighting a tank wasn't supposed to last 10-20 minutes that involved running around the map playing hide and seek.

>“When Evolve launched, the reception wasn’t what we expected,” studio co-founders Chris Ashton and Phil Robb said in a blog post. “Sure, there were some good reviews. There were also bad reviews. Yes, there was excitement. There was also disappointment – for players and for us. The DLC s***storm hit full force and washed away people’s enthusiasm, dragging us further and further from that first magical pick-up-and-play experience.”
>If you already own Evolve, you’ll be granted founder status and anything you already owned will be unlocked. You'll get 3,000 silver keys, all past and future adaptations for any hunters and monsters you own, a number of weapon skins, and four founder-exclusive animated badges. Additionally, Turtle Rock is going to be doling out bonuses for founders over time.
>Everything, including hunters, monsters, and skins, can be earned in-game. Most can be unlocked with earned keys. Badges are tied to progression milestones.
>>344114107
>$130 of dlc and that's not including both the season pass and game
>>344114965
>There are a couple of key differences. Trappers were the position requiring the most skill in the original version. Isolating the monster in a dome, where it could be easily damaged, is extremely valuable to a team's success.
>Now, every hunter has access to the team’s dome. It also won’t miss anymore. To balance this out, Turtle Rock has taken steps to ensure that you won’t be able to take down a less-experienced monster player in one dome.
>As the monster knocks players down, incapacitates them, or takes damage, the dome will lose some of its charge. It also has a clearly visible recharge timer, so monsters and hunters all know when the next, inevitable fight is coming.
>“No one liked to watch the monster not fight and die in a cage,” says lead designer Brandon Yanez. “So the entire flow minute-to-minute is just getting into fights and encouraging those fights. Dome goes up, there’s a five-minute timer, it’s ticking down. You can’t run out of a dome. If the monster gets an incap on anybody it takes off a huge portion of the time. If hunters start eating into the monster’s health, it’ll start taking increments off the time.”
>In exchange, Trappers now have a dash ability and a planetary scanner that points in the general direction of the monster. This keeps the role valuable without penalizing the team for having a rookie in that slot.

A year has 4 seasons.

>Evolve's problem was it communicated poorly.
That was one of Evolve's many problems.
Another was the lack of gameplay variety. Having some modes with multiple monsters, and/or competing and hostile hunter teams could have added a lot.
The ultimate problem was that the game was just too shallow for the asking price, much less the absurd price of all the poorly communicated DLC.

Literally the ONE thing I enjoyed in the alpha/beta was hiding from the hunters. It wasn't fun enough to get a purchase from me, but still.
Free or no, I have no reason to play this.
>>344086834
>Free to Play
Well shit maybe I'll actually fucking play it or something
>>344088752
Strike Vector wasn't intensive, it was your usual UE3 fare. It was just not optimized. Also where are they saying EX is gonna come out this summer, all their means of comunication (lol a Twitter and a Facebook page both not updated from quite a lot of months) are pretty silent about a release date.
>>344125356
The problem was the stealth monster what's it's name being stupidly OP.
The other being if you were up against a optimal character group with optimal players you'd always lose.
>>344125739
they didn't have to change it this much though

>>344090182
>TRS fucked up a lot too, but they never wanted to release Evolve so early.
Early wasn't the problem. The problem was the lack of variety.
Something that probably could have been solved if they just did a token 4 hour single player campaign for hunters and monster.
Making multiplayer only games requires the developers to either really know their shit (while being lucky), or to pick out the flaws in their multiplayer model by looking at how lackluster a single player version of the same mechanics would be.
Evolve was doomed from the start.

Well, there goes my motivation to play it again.
I played it during the beta (it was fun, but not 60$ fun, so I didn't buy it) and hiding in bushes to ambush the hunters as they walk past you was the best part
What does founder status mean
>>344127037
Yeah.
They didn't just remove functional customization, but cosmetic customization too.
You can't change out the chassis on your mechs to ones with different geometry anymore.
Like every vet hates it, and most Xbox players are like "well this is cool and all but we want more customization and personalization".
Also the (now non-swappable) internals are just flat-out upgraded. There's no balancing out potency with the amount of space they take up anymore.
