What? This is an actual sentence approved for PR? I can't accept the nerve of 2K turning this in such a way, one might believe that we are actually imbeciles who fail to recognize this for what it is. Disgraceful. I'll keep that HD space open for Halo.
And whoever is comparing this to League of Legends, just stop. You're making yourself look stupid. Nobody's shelling out $60 for a shell of a game in LoL, free to play means exactly that. Give us a call when Evolve comes out for free, then I'll be happy to let them market skins and characters without complaint. What a rip off.

i guess this is what happens when you can't negotiate for in-game content. what's next, digital/physical being exclusive to one platform?

Well something is certainly "evolving", it isn't something that doesn't benefit the customers however.

Jesus, and i thought Titanfall got it wrong with being a new IP and having limited content at launch and a bad DLC plan to fill the game up to what it should have launched as - this game looks crazy. My interest went to pretty much zero, i may get it at some point in the inevitable complete edition whilst on a 75% off Steam sale - no way in hell I'll be buying this any time soon.
Hint to devs/publishers, do your new MP only IP content path/DLC like Plants vs Zombies GW - it actually works well like that.

The only silver lining to the way they're approaching this is that you can still play with anyone using the dlc hunters/monster and that all the maps will be free.
But that pricing is out of control.
I didn't know evolve was free to play

I don't know. The prices are above what I was expecting. I am disappointed. I was expecting 5$ per hunter, 10$ per monster, with a 25-30$ pack that contained all 5.
If you were in either Alpha you should receive a code in the next couple of days. 16-19 Pc, and 17- 19 PS4.
That's wrong, but thanks for the drive by shittery.

I wasn't, but it says open beta, so anyone can join in now?
What about balance? Wasn't the kracken noticibly stronger?
I feel like you eventually are kind of forced to buy it. Kind of like fighting games, you're not going to want to be locked out/gimped.
At least lol has so many characters that you don't feel bad from not throwing a bunch of money to unlock everything.
I think it's only open on xbox one, but I'm not positive about that.

On Xbox One? Yes. On PC/PS4? No, but PC players can get in if they own a few specific games.

this kind of thing is the publisher's call, i'm sure TR wants to get as many people playing the full game as possible
really they should have gone the CS:GO route if they wanted to make a competitive game with long legs. charge a lower price up front, support cosmetic purchases, and make anything that alters gameplay free.
Yes, I know that.
But this DLC model is way over priced and with full priced game. Other games are going way overboard with DLC.
$15 game with optional ~$2.5 skins? That wouldn't be so bad (basically CS:GO, without in-game economy).
It isn't worst thought, since maps won't be dividing player base.
But I don't expect very long live for this game, which is why I'm happy to skip it.

I think if they're going to be this aggressive about the pricing for post release characters and monsters, the base game should probably be more like $30-$40 instead of $60. $15 for a monster and $7.50 for a hunter is F2P pricing. Not DLC for a $60 game pricing.
The more I think about it, it confuses me. It's like that's what they wanted to do, except 2K got cold feet about the base game price, and never adjusted the DLC price to reflect it.

I was hyped for this game last year, but every piece of news they drop squashes my initial impression. I will just watch this on youtube & twitch. No need to spend this kind of money with all the other stuff coming out.
Yeah, that's the biggest blow I feel, especially as it mentions another monster and 2 hunters with that PC edition. If the pricing follows suit, you don't preorder or buy the season pass that is $30 for two monsters, $7.49 each for 6 hunters which is $75 put together--which is waaaaaay too high.
If any of the hunters or monsters end up being very noticeably more powerful and aren't tweaked in a balance patch I'd say that's already really bad for the game's life, even before DLC. I'll have to see in the beta but I know they were tweaking damage values with the kraken.

Oh when I brought up concerns in several places about this kind of stuff in the game during the closed beta I got reamed because "it's only beta" the game will ship with LOADS of content.
Oh internet.

No you didn't, because we've known exactly how much content the game would have since pre alpha.
3 monsters, 12 maps, 12 hunters.
