I've watched ~6 matches of this, it seems more like a 30$ game than 60. I don't think I'll be buying this any time soon.

It's even worse because they just came right out and said the game was made for DLC and they want to release a lot of it, which means you're probably looking at $100 (or more) to actually get the whole game.

I almost can't believe they are trying to charge that much for a multiplayer only game built around a gimmick that may or may not still be fun in a month.

Ha, I forgot all about this, but I was almost exactly right. It's $100 for the game + the day 1 DLC.

It's a fun game but it's still absurd they think it's a $100 game.

I managed to get myself a copy of the Press Preview (Gamestop managers got a copy, my boss can't play decent PC games. Ergo, it fell to me.) It's neat, although there's a lot going on.

Damn you, no keys for us Nordics

Maybe it's just me, but this game feels a bit over hyped for what it is. Could be fun though.

[~Neri]

Overpriced, underwhelming looking game. It's at best a 20 dollar game.

[Neyvn]

So... Just been playing the Campaign mode, gotta say that last one is quite hard...

[choppy]

Sorry for the necro. But what is everyone's thoughts on this now that this is f2p?

[SharpKris]

i didn't play the game before the f2p release but i've downloaded it and am having lots of fun as the monster
TBH i think there's a balance problem but i love playing eldar kraken and wraith but i think the game does lack complexity

Apparently everyone who owned the game got completely screwed over - F2P has less maps, less modes, and everyone's progress/unlocks got wiped. In return they got a token amount of ingame currency that's not enough to unlock anything.

I haven't tried F2P out yet, none of my friends are interested and it does not feel like something that's very fun to play alone.

I wasn't exactly bursting with excitement previously, but this was what killed the "hey, maybe I'll check out that free thing I've heard about" vibe for me.

A shame, it sounded like an interesting concept. Guess the execution or business side just didn't pan out somewhere.

THey get 30,000 coins which is enough to unlock several hunters if they didn't already have them all.  It's also enough to max out the basic set of perks for hunters:  Regen/Jetpack Recharge/Jetpack Recharge

Also remember this shit is just beta.  There's only four maps because they're retooling all the maps to update them to the new style.

[ThtblovesDF]

No, we got 3 000 Coins.

I made that amount withhin 2 matches.

So your purchase of orginal evolved for 50 oe 30$ or whatever, got you about the same as 15 minutes of playtime/grinding.

It was fun to have players again, I played the old evolve a lot until it was basically just 12 people in the que, you'll destroy em once or twice and then have no one to play with.

From my personal expierence (and what I voiced with some frustation and with no response on various forums releated to evolve) the old cheats that existed stil work perfectly for the new evolve, mostly a simple maphack for the hunter(s) that always marks the monster with a lovly pink box.

It was fun for a while, you could dodge que to always play monster and go on a 30 win streak, littarly only ended by running into one or more cheaters at once, as the time limits are far to generous and simply stacking speed or feed/smell range upgrades will allow you to avoid encounters.

It's still a great concept and I'm a huge sucker for strange multiplayer matchups with 1 vs many or alien vs human or whatever, but sadly the inability to report and deal with cheaters, the poor choices (once again!) with f2p grind and finally the lack of balance just ruins the game... again.

Sigh.

[Micro102]

Didn't they patch that up to 30k coins?

[Cthulhu]

YOu got 30,000.  If you didn't get that much something went wrong.

So as a monster I've been having serious problems with the harpoon gun. I just can't seem to get rid of the guy. I break it, I charge away, but it's right back on me in 2 seconds. It just seems like you can't escape once they find you with a harpoon gun. What am i suppose to do?

It sounds like you are using the goliath. So use leaps to try and break the line of sight and use the rock throw to get him down for a bit. (Although I enjoy the elder kraken more myself)
