You're either very naïve or very stupid. It was just as sweaty. There were "comp" teams and Jason players. Jason players figured out how to use macros to simultaneously block and attack and the devs nuked that or at least tried to nuke it.
I never encountered that when playing with friends years ago. Not saying it didn't happen, just that my experience was pretty fun
Evolve had heavy microtransaction issues as they kept pushing more and more in a paid game, and some of the prices were insane (also no way to unlock new characters or monsters without paying up). There was also a major balancing issue, with many issues with the monster Wraith. Also, like a previous comment stated, there was just a lot of running around as the maps were rather big with a lot of traversal to it, as well as regular enemies scattered around to fight aside from the big monster. People ended up burned out with those issues, and the devs just couldn't make a proper balance.
Funny to see how each one of the games died out pretty quickly.
Well Predator was toast because: A.Epic store exclusive for a very long while and B. It was very graphically weak and only had...two jungle maps.
also long wait time to be Predator. I know they recently released an "upgraded" version and it did nothing for player count...and you had to pay for it even if you owned the original.
Technically, the game did have a single.player offline thing. You mostly play aa Jason and do Hitman styled assassinations of the counselors, some executions Im pretty sure are just specific for this mode.
This shit should be illegal. Licensing games which is what steam does should be illegal too, if you buy it you should own it.
The game is still in your steam library and isnt taken away, you can still play the singeplayer mode it has. Also, if you wanna trash someone for the "licensing games" shit, than blame it for the state of Cali that passed such a law, which steam must follow since theyre located in Cali if Im not wrong.
Funny thing, it wasnt crowdfunded from what I recall. It was essentially a free mod that would allow players to enjoy the game online and I think even help unlock some of the achievements, combined with adding extra stuff like Jason X, the 2009 version and finishing some of the maps.
Predator never got off the ground. It's marketing was shoving the female predator in your face as this big revelation and historical moment. No one cared and it soured the interest quickly.
Funny thing, the female predator was least of the games issues. An really, they already had that shit way before. The Epic store exclusivity is what really soured the interest and when those who played the game saw that it ran like garbage it also didnt help the matters.
Yes technically but the game was heavily depend on online. That bare bone mode you talk about can barley be considered a game mode, its more like a demo you can play. What the game needed is a proper story single player. That goes for the Predator and killer klowns games too, since those two will suffer same fate as Friday the 13th game.
The balance was also shit. All of the asym games have that problem as well.
Because NMS was a financial success, even it was ripped apart from a critical viewpoint. The company could afford to maintain development.
Of course the media went easy on the developers. They hired Adam Sessler to do PR for the game, and he would be friendly with a lot of the games journalists covering it.
They're in Washington.
