Evolve, new shooter from Left 4 Dead devs - now F2P, still dead

[Black]

Yes, I am that easily amused.

 

[Kattze]

Waiting impatiently for the Morgoth day 1 purchase review

Nope. Game flew off my radar after trying the disappointing Alpha.

Morgoth has moved from Day 1 purchase to Day -1 purchase.

Impressive.

I watched a few matches of this and this thing looks really bad, if you are the monster it is a question of running around, running around, running around. It the monster player sucks, matches can take 10 mins and the monster is totally annihilated with zero chance of winning. If the the monster player is decent, he can run around, run around, run around for minutes while it evolves and reach stage 3 and when he does so, its game over. What is the point of having this evolution concept on your game if you allow hunters to have a huge mobility and huge tracking ability and pratically forcing the monster player to run around like a tard? What is with this bullshit of when the monster reaches last stage, its almost automatic game over? Why every single mode is basically the same mode with a twist? Why every single map pratically plays the same?

This is just the Early Access version. Full game will be released via paid DLC.

Welcome to the new business model sucker!

Thanks Gabe.

It's a console game designed for the console generation. People don't want challenging gameplay or be forced to navigate through jungles/valleys/etc. Just give them a jetpack and let 'em fly around to get to the monster as fast as possible. Pew-pew. Rinse and repeat. Makes for better streams/youtube videos for marketing.

This is the dumbest thing I've heard. Complaining about jetpacks? Really? You'd prefer those military shooters where they glue you to the floor? While we're at it, why not just remove the jump button as well?

like in arma 3 which coincidentally is an excellent game?

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Another perfect example of the law of diminishing returns. You definitely need to buy that triple-SLI GTX 980 setup now so that you can play this piece of shit at max details. Totally sensible investement lawl. And don't forget to keep staring at those walls for a minute 'cause you wanna make sure the gameplay experience is better that way.

The guy that thinks DA2's combat is "FAN-TASTIC! It's a lot more intense"?

 

[Machocruz]

Top of keks. How do you blow a slam dunk concept like Hunters vs. Monsters with a AAA budget? Ask the people who made Evulva

 

[Echo Mirage]

The game has rapidly dropped below Pay Day 2 on the steam active player charts. Even at peak times it struggles to match its numbers.

I suspect that a lot of players are waiting for updates and balance passes as well as for the fanfare to die off. But at as of right now the game is dying faster than the fanfare.

The jetpack is there so you can avoid the monster's ground pounce. It's called GROUND pounce ffs. You time your jetpack at the right moment and you can avoid damage.

FFS at least pirate the game before you talk dumb shit.

It is obvious you like the game and you are emotionally invested in championing it. So you might as well just stop.

Someone didn't get their check. Too bad, he could use the money on Slim Fast.

It's AAA in a nutshell. All hype/marketing and no substance. Everyone rushed to preorder at $60 and get season passes and whatnot and now they're realizing it is utterly shallow.

Quality game right there. And keep in mind it's Steamworks so that's tracking ALL (legitimate) PC copies.

[da_rays]

Yes, I am that easily amused.

ME , 3 of my buddies , that video , No Evolve.


We've been laughing for 45 minutes I think. And one of my bud' is laughing straight up like the guy in that vids~ It feel like a complete day. :D

Why should i buy this for entertainment? This thread and steam forum is all I need !

Its struggling to break 5k active players right now as well as getting drubbed by two copy and paste CoD multiplayer modes and Ubisoft free to play.

Also good to see Mount & Blade: Warband thrashing it as well

 

[Alienman]

This game devolved pretty quick

 

[Metro]

Keep in mind it's only been... what... two or three weeks? Brink levels of fail.

 

[MrContinuity]

You could almost say it wasn't...Intelligently designed.

 

[I'm Big Into Anal]

walked into the local jb today

wall to wall evolve marketing

posters the size of men and shelves full of empty plastic cases the size of a Hutt



this is a small nz town pop: 100k

And the turd has fallen even harder now.

And it was even less yesterday, at slightly less than 2k people. When your previous game is around thrice (or twice if you go by peak) as popular as your latest game, and the new game isnt even a month old. Something clearly went wrong.

You could say that with the gaming community, this game is left for dead.

 

[Caim]

Oh come on, at least be a bit subtle about it.
