Evolve

great reviews, better than I was expecting. Then again, it's an online FPS, they tend to score pretty high compared to other genres

Sounds boring if you're the monster.

How so? I'd think being the monster would be a lot more fun

Depends on the type of player you are.
Like being an overpowered monster? Then yeah.
Like a challenge? Probably best not to be the monster.

going around mindlessly killing stupid AI to evolve by yourself. Eh.

Just found out that a friend of mine is engaged to one of Turtle Rock's AI programmers. He used to work at High Moon.

No i played it at a friends house and it was a lot easiler to play as a monster. Anyways this game could be fun co-op wise but its missing a lot of meat. There are different modes to the game, but call me a monkeys uncle if there basically not the same (4 hunters vs 1 monster). Also the game looks terrible with a lot of texture pop-in.

Sorry, but this is completely unacceptable. Having that much DLC on Day 1 of a brand new game is outrageous. People are already paying $60 for a game that had limited content to begin with. I'm boycotting this game.

Speaking of which, it looks like Evolve might be a commercial flop. On Amazon US, the X1 version is down to 41st and the PS4 version is down to 53rd. For a game that used to be high profile and just released a couple days ago that's pretty bad. I'm guessing it's out of the top 100 by the weekend and the NPD report next month will be generally bad news for TurtleRock.

Yay!

Got your wish. They might even give away those dlc :-)

Woah. There should be like 2 games worth of DLC in there.
