Do any of the reviews mention the quality of the bots when playing offline?
"On their own"Eh.. isn't this like a failure of the most basic principles of this game? If shooting feels clunky and the gamemodes are boring, what else is there?

Yeah, I expected 7s and 8s.
The alpha/beta just didn't click with me for some reason. Don't think I'll ever get this.
Excellent!Most talk of the bots are highly positive towards the AI.
Really? Come on lol.
In for $6,I'll have to see how it pans out on Tuesday.
$6.
where?
Hm, expected higher, honestly. A lot of places couldn't stop singing its praises last year at E3.
The scores dont really matter that much.
What PC Gamers Review states is true. If the game cant create a community, it will be forgotten pretty soon. And 2Ks DLC tactics arent really helping...
I have a really hard time believing this game could be worth $60. I'll watch a few video reviews and maybe it'll convince me otherwise.
I only participated in one, but matchmaking was completely broken.I wish they wouldn't do reviews of multiplayer games until launch day, we've been burned too many times this past 12 months on devs that were completely unprepared for realistic MP.
Evolve will probably be better I admit given they had 2 or 3 big public betas.
I also only briefly skimmed the reviews since this isn't my kind of game, but I assume there is no offline single player campaign?
Also of note on that list, The Crew as best racing game.Yes it won Best of Show at E3 2014.

Destiny didn't do too badly.They should consider making it F2P. $60 is too high of an entry barrier for an unproven MP only new IP.
I'm struggling to accept that scoring a 7 or an 8 means it's average game and that people are skipping it just because of that.
Same for me, couldn't enter a single game when I already had a friend in my party. Sites really shouldn't be handing out these scores until release when the servers can actually be tested.I only participated in one, but matchmaking was completely broken.
Was it fixed eventually?
I am not one to blindly trust reviews, but taken at face value, 7s and 8s are usually attributed to good-very good games...
Yeah this. And add the horribel DLC plans.So Gameplay repeats itself, clunky gameplay, boring modes.
Years ago a game with these problems would have gotten something around 5-6 points. Now its a 7-8.

People aren't calling these scores bad, they're calling the reasons for these scores bad.Not bad. No one I've spoken with seem to say anything positive about it, but at least it is getting good reviews. Just not sold on the concept because I'm not a multiplayer focused shooter kinda guy.
EDIT: Wait.. people are calling those bad scores?! oh well…
Who said anything about a conspiracy? The game is an online-only experience being reviewed before launch. Of course these scores aren't going to be accurate. And that's fine for us to criticize, because many of us have basically played the full game through the beta.Yeah, it's obviously all a conspiracy. Heaven forbid this broken mess of a game might actually be any good and deserve the half decent scores it's receiving.

The game has seemed rather flawed based on beta gameplay, and now the reviews of the final version are showing that nothing's really been changed.
The game isn't worth full retail price because it's repetitive, and likely to have broken matchmaking at launch just like the beta. It also doesn't have mod support, and because of that the only flow of new content will be through the hands of the developers for an additional fee, further splitting the community.
Versus say... Left 4 Dead, which has both free DLC and mod support.
I'm also pretty sure Evolve doesn't have a server browser.

Oh my god, the last time I'd seen the Metacritic page for it, it was sitting well above an 80.Dying Light got crushed with 6s and it's one of the best games I've played in the last 12 months.
Ugghhh... I really can't imagine keeping a full party for an hour every match. How does the game handle the monster leaving the match?"On their own"
He liked Evacuation mode (which blends all modes together) more than playing rounds individually. But Evacuation is like an hour commitment.

What the hell.
If Evolve ends up with a higher score, I'm going to disappointed, because Dying Light does Evolve better than Evolve does Evolve. And that's just a minor part of the full game.
I hope a lot of people dont forget the bad dlc policy of Evolve and not buy it. Too bad the reviews dont mention that...
