This game was a disaster from the off. Sad to see the support ending so soon.

An online only game losing support so quick? Would have been such a risk to buy such a game. Online servers may shut down soon as well.

Games with campaigns that don't sell to well are at least playable years after release.

Evolve isn't online only, you can play by yourself offline. The SP game is just bot matches though, like Quake or Unreal used to have.

Anyways, game was great, amazing premise. Stage Two was even better. Too bad console users will never experience it. I don't trust 2k with the franchise at all.

Evolve for me was always a better idea than a game.

Which seems less useful then Mechassault's bot mode, which had different objectives and is kind of a precursor to horde/ zombie modes with ai.

But at least Mechassault had a campaign in addition that I can still play today.

The main things they fucked up were matchmaking and presentation. In Stage 2 as a monster player I believe I am like... 200-20, and a lot of those 20 losses are server crashes or hackers. As someone who got elite status with a monster, I should not be matched up against noobs, but you constantly are. This makes those hunter players frustrated and surely leads to less of them coming back for more punishment.

And in terms of presentation, the game needed in depth tutorials for all hunter characters, or at worst, all the hunter classes. Tons of times I'd be a hunter and our trapper would not even know their responsibility was to trap the monster. One of the trapper characters has a dog type sidekick that literally tracks the monster if you just run behind her, but a majority of players would just run off wherever, which makes the animal follow you instead of tracking.

I look forward to whatever they work on next outside the shackles of 2k's shitty marketing and DLC greed.
