This is good
wait for it here comes the posts about how this game is the devil
Two new maps : Good "Free" : Ehh? future maps will cost money? : Spliting the playerbase
Good, maybe if they keep doing this it'll balance out the price. To be honest, I found Evolve fun, but not $60 fun. Maybe because it was just beta, but I didn't feel like there was enough content.

You can't say "heh maybe if they keep it up it'll be worth it" yeah that's their fucking plan lol

Being able to play alongside hunters who are using characters I haven't bought is going to be helpful in aiding my decision as to whether or not I want to actually pay money for those hunters when they're released however many months from now. I sure as hell am not going to pre-buy them at their current price knowing nothing about them. Most of the bitching about the day one DLC stuff was made by people who were entirely uninformed, but it was pretty funny seeing people backpedal and start saying "Oh, the hunters are just planned right now? Not actually anywhere near completion? W-well, it's disgusting that they're selling SKINS as day one DLC!" Letting you play besides characters you don't own is a pretty smart move though, as when I didn't have certain characters unlocked and saw others playing them, they looked really interesting.
I'm sure the 2500 people playing this will be overjoyed.
I love how Left 4 Dead 2 did this all along and now another game releases free maps and it's a huge selling point. It's truly incredible to see maps releases that aren't part of a dlc map pack.

After seeing what early releases do, I'm glad Valve is taking their time.

UT2004 came with 50+ new maps, as well as the 50+ maps from their prior game, and got 15 extra down the road in free packs (all of consistently good quality too, same kinda deal with UT3) Now 15 is usually the amount of $$ it costs for 4 maps. I'm not saying all games need to have UT2k4 levels of content, but it'd be nice if we at least started getting a good amount of content for the price more often.
[QUOTE=Luxuria;47321394]backpedalling[/QUOTE] Hi point out where I said anything about DLC or having maps cost money thanks in advance [editline]16th March 2015[/editline] Like I literally said "there's not enough content" in my first post how am I backpedalling I'm just being forced to restate things because people read that other guy's post first and carried over the tone from his post to mine and misinterpreted it because I said something negative about the game and apparently you need to rush to defend it.
"maybe if they keep doing this" shows that you clearly have no clue about what you're criticizing. That's what people are nailing you on, myself included. Don't complain about shit if you're not even gonna give it the time of day to know a BASIC part of the business model.
