Evolve hype to dead playerbase

Lot of hype and praise at E3 with huge marketing budget and esport. Despite such a low player population, president of Take-Two stated that Evolve has achieved an “incredibly successful" launch with 2.5 million copies sold worldwide in 2015. Evolve went free-to-play on PC a year later.

People have use the phrase “dead/dying game” incorrectly all the time. But in this case here, Evolve is ACTUALLY a “dead game”, because there IS actual proof that the player count went down (steam charts), and the game has shut down its servers after nobody is playing this game anymore.

[@igorz4582]

dead game just refers to any game with a very low player count,and considering most mp games fail to have a stable community it's not that rare to see that term used

[@doomslayer8641]

@@igorz4582 Well it’s true that “dead game” means that a player count for a game is very low (Dying Light: Bad Blood, Lawbreakers, Battleborne, Battlefield 2042, and The Culling 2), I’ve seen a lot of people use this phrase incorrectly and spread lies about a game being “dead” or “dying”. For example, people are saying that Fortnite is a “dying/dead game” just because they look at the Google Trends charts (even though the Google Trends chart is just a bullshit source to prove that a game is “dead/dying” because Google Trends has absolutely nothing to do with player counts at all and it only has to do with how many times people search that word up on Google), but in reality Fortnite is not a dead game, the game has millions of people still playing it to this day, it was the most played game/most downloaded game on PlayStation on November and December 2021, and when chapter 3 season 1 came out, Fortnite on Twitter said that there launch for chapter 3 season 1 had “the most players they have ever seen at a launch of a season.”

Before they know it, they've spent thousands of dollars hoping to get a skin that you can then sell to someone else BUT the money goes on your Steam wallet AND Steam claims part of the transaction as a "fee". Fucking greedy assholes, charging a fee when the money just goes back into their pockets no matter what...

[@josepablobonillajimenez6297]

Personally I disagree, microtransactions are still a thing but companies are a little more conscious about it, specially after what happened to evolve and SW battlefront, sure you buy cosmetic things but many of this are f2p games like fortnite and apex legends so the price is not an addition to a fully priced 60$ game, also many of this games allow you to grind for the premium resources, so despite it's still a thing, my opinion is that it hasn't gotten necesarily worse

[@route77productions]

@@josepablobonillajimenez6297 Like Apex for me is fine. You get 1000 Apex coins for 10 bucks and the battle pass is 930 AC. You get 1000 coins total if you reach above level 90 in the battle pass, I only bought the Battle Pass once in Season 3 and never had to spend any more money for Apex Coins.

[@SidewaysGts]

"$130 worth of dlc content" The amusing thing is that value is a bit misleading. That number came from adding EVERY single thing available in the store up. Problem is that doubled and tripled up on many things. Like hunter 1, 2, 3 and 4 might each have a "blue gun skin". But then a package would offer all 4 of those blue skins in a combined package. Or there were packages that had *multiple* of those packages, "Get all the colors at once for even more discount!". So on one hand ya, there was a lot of things- On the other, not as much as people thought initially because of misleading statements.

[@QDAWGFTW]

Somers Anders doom was whatever to me. regret paying $40 for it. I didn't enjoy the the campaign mode enough to warrant a second playthrough, didn't care for the custom stages and pvp multiplayer was horrid. yeah I give it a 7 or 6. I can't agree to paying $60 not even $40 for 15 hours of "clear this room" . the enemies were uninteresting to say the least and when I beat the final boss I thought "that's it?". I even tried playing old doom maps that were custom made but it didn't help. my value in a game comes from longevity, fun and rewarding. heavy story driven games that take 10hrs and never touch again are games that I would rather watch than play.

[@SomersBugtopia]

Red Doom isn't a game for you then, and I don't mean that in a pretentious way. Doom is meant for players who just like endless killing and the satisfaction that comes from it. As a huge Doom fan, I still play Doom 2 to this very day because it's incredibly rewarding to shred down demons. Doom 4 is incredibly enjoyable because it has that feeling; slaughter is wonderful. The gameplay is its own reward. The story is icing on the cake, it's a fun way to tie it back to Doom 1 and 2. And you have to admit that the custom stages give a lot of replay value and life to the game. Doom 4 will be around for quite a while because of this. Not saying you aren't allowed to an opinion, just don't knock a game that actually turned out well. It never lied at E3, it maintains the fun of Doom, it has a solid story, it's got everything a Doom fan wants. It's honorable, to say the least, that Doom was a triple A title that actually gave a shit.

[@michaelscott-joynt3215]

The only thing I hate about Steam reviews are the people with hundreds of hours played, complaining about a lack of content and overpriced DLC, which they clearly bought. I did 100% on Final Fantasy X back in the day, and that was 120 hours, with insanely challenging end-game side-content. Yet 3:11 here's a guy with 600+ hours on this POS saying it's fun but there's nothing to do. Like they sound bitter for even liking the game once everyone buries it, and they join in because they ate the crap sandwich for months.

[@guruhd03]

Lmaooo 💀😂

[@michaelscott-joynt3215]

@Edgar Friendly Using your AFK ratio, he's played 120 of 600 hours, more than you played your game, and as long as I played through one of the longest RPGs I've ever completed. On a game he doesn't recommend to anyone. On a game with very little to do. Seriously?

[@ivan3man]

I don't know but Yes? Why his time in the game should affect total score? Like, people complain when gamers write reviews without buying the game, people complain when gamers write reviews with too little time in the game, now there is too much time in the game apparently? Maybe people just have to realize that anyone has a right to say “this game is shit”? He could’ve just run across the map for 600 hours because he had no money for any other game, or good pc for other games, or because he was mentally ill or any other personal reason etc, but in the end he sees game as shit. I’ve played some games so long that I either grew up out of them or they turned to shit by devs so I actually saw them as shit and downvoted them, some I played for so long just because of other people who liked it, and still I wouldn’t recommend the game

[@RagnaroekChaos]

The thing is, I think Brink had everything it needed to be a great game but they screwed up the balance of it. They created a rewarding parcour system but no maps where you can use it to full effect, so why would you even use the weakest bodytype? Why were there even bodytypes instead of all nimble, quick classes?The story tried the same thing as Titanfall where they put a story into your multiplayer games. It was a game which was weighed down by faulty map design and balance.

I feel like what we really need is like every critic should have a very specific page that portrays his or hers experience as a gamer. What games they play, at what difficulty, for how long, what are their stats at specific fields, like if you see that this person plays his second total FPS or only plays multiplayer or liked THAT campaign that you hated, you will know whether their opinion matters at all. TO YOU. I had a favourite team of critics because close to like 90% of their arguments, their positions, their grades, felt extremely close to mine. I've even met them offline and yes, they were just like me, same experience, similar taste in games. These are people I can trust not because of "brand" but because we share tastes. I can't trust some random person, even if they review a game for a big mag. I know nothing about them! I remember reading an article on some game, and I replayed it multiple times, from Easy to Veteran difficulties. And this game, I really don't remember what it was, had like this sort of security wheels on Very Easy mode. It was like a Story mode cheat, you know, built in to protect these unexperienced players. It felt really seamless, too, if I was a new player, I would love it. And I'm reading this article - and this loud, condescending reviewer is bashing the game for this mechanism, never acknowledging the difficulties. And I was like "Wait, lol, he thinks it's a core mechanic. He played the game on lowest difficulty and bashes something about the game's strength!"

[@Darca1n]

A great point there, and I feel that it can also be a useful thing to know the differences between your own opinions and that of someone else, too, since if they dislike something that you like, or vice versa, then you can essentially look at their opinion to get a rough estimate of what you would think of the game yourself.

Well, if they decide to actually make Evolve into a successful game. They should relist it on steam and consoles and put development into the game.
