Metabombed checks out user reviews for Evolve
Added 2015-02-12 13:15:09 +0000 UTCI used to collect the best user reviews on Metacritic when I wrote for Destructoid, providing highlights of games that got torn to shreds by the public scoring system by angry gamers. That feature has returned as Metabombed! In our inaugural post, we look at what folks are saying about Evolve and, well... it ain't pretty!

this is a damn shame. so much potential...
2015-02-14 21:15:38 +0000 UTCDLC Quest is a good comparison, actually. Not so much because of the content as.... Objectively, it's not much of a game. It's an extended joke with some mild gameplay elements suck on. If I'd paid much of anything for it, I'd've been ticked, but it cost me a buck, so I considered that money well spent. I paid someone a buck, they told me a joke that took about an hour. Good deal! I've spent money on way stupider stuff than that! I think a looooot of the issues surrounding Evolve wouldn't be so steep if the price tag weren't equally steep. If this game had even half the cost, those review score numbers would be up. But AAA can't seem to get the idea through their head of varying prices for varying content... or even the old parable of "Sell a man an apple for $10 or sell 10 men an apple for $.10." Jim's touched on this more than once. If you tell me you will give me a costume change for $5, unless that costume is the most glorious thing in the universe, you can sit and spin. If you tell me you will give me a costume change for $1, I'll probably buy it. If you tell me you'll give me five costume changes for $1, not only will I buy it, I'll probably buy it for all my friends who also enjoy the game. If I've got five of those, hey, that's five bucks. <i>I'm looking at you, Dynasty Warriors.</i>

2015-02-13 00:39:29 +0000 UTCI want to see this become a regular feature of the Jimquisition. No one seems to bother to note the huge disparity between press reviews and customer reviews that is an epidemic in the AAA video game sphere. I thank God for you, Jim.
2015-02-12 20:14:33 +0000 UTCEvolve seems like the very game DLC Quest was making a mockery out of.
