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.
Back in 2016, Turtle Rock announced that support for its 4v1 monster-hunting shooter Evolve would end but fans wouldn't let it die.
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."
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.
Evolve is an asymmetrical multiplayer experience born at the tail-end of the wrong era, in the multiplayer world.
Great idea but poorly executed and destined to fail from the begging. Only thing I’m grateful towards this game is that it’s the one that convinced me to never buy a game blind again.
Shadowrun for the Xbox 360/PC would of been a better example of a great online game that launched At the wrong time.
Been telling people since the early gameplay trailers, this game should only be $29.99 at the most.
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
Basically a online game multiplayer game but I like it
The games garbage. Move on.
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)
