It would be cool to know if this game was actually worth it. But the last few pages of the last thread and this first page is just a bunch of thread shitters.

I have 2 other friends I play with regularly and we are all considering getting into Evolve. How is the online party system? Are you all stuck as hunters the entire time?

It's pretty great, except in order to stop teams from just letting you wail on the monster for points, they made it so if you do match making, no-one in your party can be a monster. IF you have 5 friends, you can create a custom match, there's also a game mode called evacuation that rotates the monster out with people randomly in the group (Your stack doesn't effect that.)

I like the concept of hunting and killing a monster that levels up and gets harder to beat, and the monsters look rad. I'd probably pick it up on sale and never ever get the DLC.

Paid $40 for the game, and I don't regret it.

Then again I have a job so if that price is too high to risk then no I wouldn't buy it because it's too soon to know if this will be a success or failure.

In regards to the poo poo posters?

They could just leave it open like other new games using this unprecedented method not developed by the same people like l4d2 in case someone drops out so someone else can drop in.

E sports is a real thing actually, with millions of people following it. It's insanely popular and only getting more so. Evolve will never be on the level of a game like dota 2 or quake 3 or any truly competitive game, like street fighter or anything else. This game is AIDSY and it will be forgotten quickly. It's the worst game I played in a longggg time

It already does that though, and it's exactly like left 4 dead. A bot takes over until someone rejoins or another player still in game takes over the bot. They're custom matches and you can make all sorts of changes as well and pick different mutators. Even in the regular match making if someone leaves someone can join and take their place. It's been that way since the beta.

I love the monster variety, like the big one, and the fast one, and the one thats not as big or fast as the others but can fly.

cant wait for them to release the even bigger monster, that'll really change things up a bit.
