That looks like a cool game. I'm so behind on what's coming out. I'd love an Alpha invite.

Thanks for that! You want in on this action!?!?!?!! ;D

I'd love an invite if you have one to spare! I too have really been looking forward to this game. :)

I would definitely like an invite if you have one spare!

You're welcome! :thumb:
Thanks for the offer man but I'll have to pass...apparently my country is unable to participate due to internet infrastructure issues (http://support.2k.com/hc/en-us/articles/203655536-What-Countries-is-the-Big-Alpha-Not-Available-In-).

Haters! Well I got one left!!!
-
Any codes left? I'm down to play this game.
-
How are you finding it? From watching streams and the giantbomb unprofessional Fridays this game seems like a **** show, which I predicted... Lulz
-
keep in mind it's only an Alpha release, bugs and crashes are more than expected. i'm curious to see if this becomes anything more than the next Titanfall
-
I've had no issues yet... I'm sure plenty will go wrong! The game it's self will get pretty old, pretty quick.
It's free, so it's something to do... I don't think I would pay money for it though...

Yeah, your not the first person I've heard say that lol

Apocalypse, do you think the Kraken is too strong?

Haven't played the monsters yet, just all the classes.
-
Right now I played a bit and the kraken feels very strong in some respects while the Goliath in others. If you level up the Goliath leap he's ridiculously fast.
Unfortunately it seems the general strategy is about the same for every match. The medic, assault follow the monster while the support and trapper try and cut the monster off. Eventually you corner it, trapper lays down the arena and you wreck it.
-
that's my general impression from watching streams as well. on the positive side, there's still a good 3 months before release, we can expect tons of balance changes and new content by then. i do have high hopes for this game, but i wouldn't be shocked if it becomes another overwhelmingly mediocre disappointment like Titanfall did

I don't think its problems stem from balance... Balance only comes into play when your playing at a decent level, and from what I've seen the only people doing that, are the guys balancing the game.
Tbh I think the biggest issue is the core design of the game, you can't choose your role, every role is fixed and not really that dynamic and the monster is alone. If you play as a party and one of you gets stuck with the monster it just sucks for them... And if your playing as a party who can play vs a monster who hasn't then it's massivly one sided.
Idk, I feel like the core gameplay design is just bad... At least Titan fall was a good design doc (or at least for people who like that kind of game); cod with mechs
-
yeah balance doesn't seem too bad atm (though i do see some complaints about the Kraken being OP). option to choose role will eventually come. a lot of the problems can be attributed to players being bad (hence my questions about whether Kraken is actually as strong as some say). game modes like 4v4 and such are being requested as well, though i would like the main game mode to become 4v2 (unlikely). the biggest selling point for me is the game's enjoyable spectator experience, which is a solid staring base for any fledgling competitive game

But how can it be seriously competitive?
Even if you have a team of 2 monsters that would still be pretty lame... Imo the game would be better and more enjoyable if the monster played more like a dota hero, managing creeps etc rather than how it plays at the moment...
I think he idea that this will be an 'esport' is even more clueless than when EA wanted BF games to be serious esports lol
-
you're entirely right, i'm just being overly optimistic
-
I keep thinking that maybe a cool story mode would make this game better, like a Jurassic park type deal.. But your still left with 4v1... And I just don't think you can balance the game so that the 1 lone dude isn't totally screwed
-
/ Joins poachers anonymous ?
-
won't do anything for me, as the game's appeal comes entirely from it being the next big competitive shooter. i haven't played an FPS for years and this game's release is the perfect opportunity for me to get back into the genre. despite my high hopes, i'd be perfectly fine waiting for the next Star Wars Battlefront if this game doesn't pan out.

Why not just play a good already established fps that has a community? If this ever gets big you'll be no better off as better fps players from other games will just come in and clean up...
-
heh, i suck royally at shooters so i don't harbor delusions of becoming a top player or anything. but i already played tons of CS 1.6 when i was younger, and TF2 doesn't interest me. maybe i'll try something like ARMA 3 or Planetside 2, but Evolve has a 'freshness' quality about it that tempts me to get into the genre again
-
Fair enough :P
-
in the end.. people will just play dota.. because evolve is stupid for running on cry engine.. that dramatically limits your player base..
-
I spent the afternoon on the game and to be honest I am not very impressed. It really does come off as a L4D with a twist and I was hoping for a bit more. The most bothersome part of the game for me is the clunky gameplay. I have the feeling this will get old, very fast...
By the way, is it just me or this the alpha locked at 60 Fps?

LOL, people starting to complain about 60fps eh? you kids are so spoiled.. I remember when 45-50fps was AWESOME for ANY GAME.

when I was ur age.... I accepted 45fps with NO AA, and only 4x AF... oh man, i could see 20 feet ahead of me, omg these graaphx are real..
-
I'd much rather it be locked at 60 instead of 30 like some games are. I'm PC only so I don't want to see 30 frames as the norm. :(
-
i stopped following this game for a couple of days and nobody is streaming it any longer?? really surprising because the viewer numbers were huge initially

It was a time limited demo (it wasn't an alpha, hate to break it to you).

oh right, thx. looking through some vods now and it seems kinda bland already :/ oh well
