Nope, barely anyone. L4D lost its players because Valve didn't give a damn about the game (there are still bugs that had been fixed in the sequel - despite said bugs being added with the same update! And let's not mention the broken mapping tool, where Valve needed EIGHTEEN MONTHS to fix - but only one week for the sequel - and then claimed they didn't know. Despite the forum bringing that up basically on a daily basis) and the sequel doesn't have any players anymore because it's still the same broken mess it originally was in terms of gameplay.Diablo1099 said:Good point on the progression model and it does leave me to wonder if many people are still playing L4D/L4D2.

Considering I will be gone and no one knows who I am and all I did was aggrandise others. I hope people on the site will be more vocal about their displeasure. The Mods are working overtime to keep things together.Thunderous Cacophony said:I'm surprised he didn't take a few more shots at the game modes only being accessible through the Campaign, so that if you wanted to go smash up a nest you have to commit to a long series of matches.
Edit: From zero to self-aggrandizing drama in only three posts. Must be a new record.
Well, turns out they were all mostly cosmetics rather then "Content", though I really do wonder how much they could have added if they didn't spend so much time and effort on add-on content that could have easily been used as rewards for progression.Caramel Frappe said:Regardless as to how funny Yahtzee was in this entire episode.. seeing him hitting the nail by the end blew me away.
Without a proper story, without a stable campaign or challenge- it's just all based on your determination to play. Good luck wanting to continue if you've got no friends interested in Evolve. As some mentioned already, it feels like a Left 4 Dead mod except it costs $80-100 to play which is ridiculous.
Really good episode you have here Yahtzee. I must say, even my IRL friends were excited about this until it came out... than immediately lost interest. I saw that coming when they wanted to charge you DLC that would make up for two fresh games. Like are you kidding me??
is a strong statement of support for the mods and staff of the Escapist, as well as the people who still use it. It's easy to say, "Oh, those people who left were so brave and wonderful, they were the ones who were holding the site together," and a lot harder to quietly admit that you just don't like a website anymore and leave. If your post was at all related to the Evolve ZP, it would be one thing, but it's as if you typed up your dramatic leaving speech and were poised to post it as soon as you could in a thread that people would visit, and did so without even watching the video.Lots of love guys and best of luck to you all. I am out of this hateful, badly edited den of negativity that I see developing. Maybe someday the seed of good times and intelligent discourse will grow on another site and I will see you all there.
With just one monster who has one life, wouldn't it be a bit different? After all, the humans are the predators, not the survivors, this time. Do you mean it feels like playing the same game, like how the combat in Shadow of Morodor felt just like the combat in Arkham Asylum?Silentpony said:I basically played Evolve years ago, except it went by the name Left 4 Dead 2 survival mode, with mods. Seriously. Throw in a few aliens for the special zombies, a few new weapon skins and replace the survivors with your favorite characters from Mass Effect and its the same damn game!
