They made a huge mistake with the PR they released that announced all this stuff a few days ago. It was worded terribly, poorly written, and was just confusing.
But when you get down to the bottom line, there's no big deal here. They don't have day one DLC outside of some worthless skins. The DLC was NOT promoted before the game was revealed or a screen shot was shown as Jim is trying to claim. The game was revealed in an issue of Game Informer, and the website had loads if pics and videos and even developer interviews up for days before they announced the pre-order bonus.
The quote about Evolve being more ready for DLC than any game was taken out of context and was a response to a direct question about DLC asked in another magazine interview. What they meant by that is that compared to L4D, Evolve is much more open to DLC. And it is. You can have new maps, new modes, new weapons, new hunters, and new monsters, all interchangeable with one all independent.
At the end of the day they announced some preorder and DLC stuff before the game was released, and their pricing for the DLC is so laughably bad, I have to believe it's not real. In other words, all things that are pretty much industry standard now. GAF is in a tizzy over this and I think it's just awesome to read.
Idk where people are getting the idea that it's not a complete game either. You can play solo or online. There is a twist on a campaign mode with Evacuation. The grinding required to level up the characters is real. It's just as complete as any other game. |
based on what they've announced so far there is less game on the disc than just the multiplayer portion of destiny...

Well that's not really accurate. Evolve has at least 12 maps at launch, which depending on the platform you bought the game on, is more than Destiny (because while we're on the subject of preorder DLC, expansion DLC, overpriced DLC, lets not forget that Destiny has all of that plus timed console exclusive DLC plus timed exclusive console exclusive DLC wrapped inside of paid DLC plus actual on disc DLC). Evolve has 5-6 game modes revealed so far, idk how Destiny is now with DLC and stuff but last I played there were 3-4 modes. Destiny has 3 classes with 2 slight variations on each, but for the most part the characters all play the same, it's just a matter of which super move you prefer. Evolve has 4 classes with 3 big variations plus the monsters.
Even if Crucible having more content were accurate, the difference is Evolve is polished and balanced while Destiny PVP is an unbalanced joke. Or have they finally gotten it right? Idk, but I doubt it. Furthermore the amount of content in another game is irrelevant. All that matters is do you enjoy the content in Evolve enough to warrant the $60. If you don't, that's fine.
