Back when we still called it "DLC" and not "microtransactions"

Remember when camos used to be unlockable? Now you pay $2 per camo.

The "Blue" thing is starting to be a meme in Angry reviews XD

Watching this 4 years later, I'm reminded that at one time, we didn't have a word for microtransactions.

I guess you could say this game is LEFT 4 DEAD

More people are playing Spore than there are people playing Evolve right now. Evolve - ~850 people Spore - ~1,500 people. This is sad.

6 years later... damn time is weird. I remember this like it was yesterday

joe's reviews age so well for some reason even in 2022 I go back to watching his old reviews.

I forgot this game even existed.

I remember when this game came out my friend was super hiped, bought all the DLC and was showing off that he got it. When I went to his house and played it, it seemed pretty crappy but I didn't say because I THOUGHT that I hadn't seen its full potential. A little less than a month later, I ask him how it is. He basically said, "what the hell is evolve"

There’s something about the way he emphasizes the “bl” in Blue that makes me lol

Who came back here because of Fallout 76 Blue skin scene?

Anybody came back to this video because it's F2P now just like Joe said it should be??

Angry Joe is one guy, IGN is a company with 100+ people. Angry Joe does Real reviews, IGN only review games that they get payed $150 and the ones that they don't get paid by they give 3.1 like they gave Alien Isolation. Angry Joe gets best review on KZfaq

sadly my mom and dad bought this for me for christmas :( ( but I still love them)

The fact this game went free to play shows the giant garbage the initial release was.

IGN gave Evolve a 9 out of 10? lol, they ripped apart the excellent Alien Isolation, but gave this shallow multiplayer game a 9!? *face palm* Well, I'm glad I did buy Titanfall last year. It taught me never to buy another AAA multiplayer game on release, especially after I saw it go on sale digitally with the season pass for around $20. So, Evolve is a definite pass for me. Great review Angry Joe, I hope you do one for The Order 1886 next!

If you want an honest review, Always go with an independent reviewer. Angry Joe is spot on with this review because it's never biased or "paid for". Good job.

I had totally forgotten this game was even a thing. Remember the hype for this before it came out?

1:41 the Birth of the blue running Gag

Is anyone else noticing a trend in AAA games lacking more and more content. For example look at Titan Fall, Destiny, and Evolve. To me it seems like the actually content for some of these games is getting shorter and shorter, or is being broken apart to sold later or something

Between this and The Order and Watch Dogs and Asassin's Creed Unity and so on, I think it's fair to say the AAA industry is a fucking joke

I lost interest in this game when I saw that they wanted $15.00 for one monster for DLC. 1/4 the cost of the game just to play as ONE monster? Yeah, Fuck That.

The emphasis on the sound when Other Joe was eating the "shit" and the second bite was comedic gold.

this is why i wait for reviews now. 2014 fucked me up the ass with broken and subpar games. thanks for the honest review as always joe.

Joe, baby, y'all know I noticed it too.

Devolve

Evolve Died during its release, Then soon got revived, And then was shot by a guy named 2k

just waiting for witcher 3 to save the last two years of games....

Angryjoe and totalbiscuit are pretty much the only big reviewers who can still be trusted. Thank you joe, thank you so much for your honesty. Edit: I know that there are other youtubers like jim sterling who are trustworthy, but TB and Joe are pretty much THE biggest influences .

Here after Crowbecat's Left For Dead Video.

One of the reasons I love Angry Joe. He's always brutally honest in his reviews.

What happened with modern gaming industry? We need another 1983 like crisis to clean up this mess.

Please God, PLEASE! Don't let Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain end up like this! Don't let it be some shitty overhyped game that actually sucks! Please just let me have this one game.

So, I came back to this video to just let you know you called it 100% right. Game shut down its servers a few months ago.

A perfect example of a game not matching its price. If it was a free-to-play game, or a $20 game like Joe said, it totally be worth it. But for $60, no thank you. Its not a horrible game, mind you, but a lot more was needed at release to warrant $60. I even remember a year or so back, this game was free to get on Xbox One as a free game of the month for Xbox Live Gold membership users.

7:33 This parts gets me every time "Ya hear that" "No, I don't hear anything" "Exactly...this way!"

Usually, when you say "I'm tired of running", it's heroic. Not in Evolve. Everyone pretty much just says "ditto" and then goes to bed or keeps playing.

I can't believe it's already been 5 years since this review. JEsus.....

Came here from Fallout 76 because of that "BLUE" moment XD

It's so early in the year.... I'm fearful for 2015 ;_;

This generation has looked bleak so far. I still have high hopes for Witcher 3.

1:41 for the blue meme birth.

Turtle Rock still getting credit for Left 4 Dead when Valve employees did the real heavy lifting.

I knew what this game was from the start. A repetitive, money sucker. No thanks.

None one seems to know" - Bucket Nothing is worse than the Speaker in Destiny saying he could tell me what happen...but basically No, fuck off.

Watching this is 2019. Now Activision selling reticules for 2$.

It's always hilarious when one guy gets separated from the team then everybody realizes that he is gone and we have to go back to get him when we realize we were too late.

They should make a Predator game like this. Four players against Predator

If you didn't see this coming from a mile away, I just don't know what to say. The only surprise is that it is getting positive reviews. Game journalism is dead, thanks for sticking with us Joe, TB and the dwindling few with some morals.

19:56- 20:10 "Who- he- what? Get the hell out of here! Deep gameplay, character?! What game would you- Where is the rest of the game hiding?! I'm gonna go find it!"

The game was great on paper. But poorly excecuted.

Is that blue? It's blue... It's fucking blue.

Evolve feels like it should have been a Wii U game. 4 couch hunters, 1 chair monster with the gamepad. Good party game

I like to think about how many people who defended this game at the time probably don't even remember it exists now.

That's why I don't like multiplayer games; if no one plays, you don't play. You rely on other people to have fun.

Still has more content than Battlefront EA

16:49 I could tell you I could tell you but I won't

Two years later, Joe's points still stand. The game is pretty much dead.

19:47 best part of the review

It's so sad! This game could have been so fucking awesome.

Where did the monsters come from? Well... I could tell you...

$1.99 for a skin. Those were the days.

I couldnt stop staring at his hands when it turns green😂

Ah, IGN. You guys clearly know how to makes scores. Evolve: 9/10 A deeply rewarding multiplayer experience. Pokemon ORAS: 7.5/10 Too much water.

Does the developers actually pay attention to this stuff? I know if I was a game dev I would have this guy critique my beta ASAP.

got the game for $3, waste of money

“$2 for the color BLUE?” Yeah, 2021 Halo Fan here, that’s a really good deal.

I can only trust Nintendo when it comes to AAA games sadly

Every time Joe. EVERY TIME. I cant go to sleep now and its almost 12 at night, I have to stay up and watch this review!

Evolve before release: Sounded really good Then turned literally all of its content into DLC Evolve after release: Lets give the wraith an attack that boosts its damage and boosts it's attack speed by a literal 1000%, and give it an ability that allows it to duplicate itself so now it does 2 times the damage and does 2 times more DPS..... Evolve died thereafter.

This was just the beginning. Now it’s standard.

19:34 thats why I love watching theAngryJoeShow

"Evolve is the first big dissapointment of 2015!" Well, Dying Light already came out, so...

Is anyone else watching this in 2018, and wondering what Joe would do about power armor blue for 20?

Strangely, I'm getting the back 4 blood flashbacks re-watching this. I think I'm in a twilight zone.

What's that, Evolve? I couldn't hear you. The Rathian was too loud. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate >>>>>>>>>> Evolve

Everyone who was planning to buy this, do yourself a favor and buy a 3DS and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and wait for Evolve to drop in price.

This is a Angry Joe CLASSIC

I'm surprised the Corporate Commander didn't make an appearance in this video.

I felt the same way when I played the game. It's just average as fuck. No campaign either means I have no reason to play this shit. I can't believe IGN gave it a 9.

Shitty Medic = Everyone dies Shitty Tracker = Monster evolves immediately and kills everyone

21:40 sounded like a Eminem rap

Sounds like it would've been amazing if they made an actual campaign.

So in Destiny they said " I could tell you the story but i wont", and in this game Evovle they are saying " no one seem to know". So whats next? what are we going to hear next guys? I ll go first. "People who knew are dead"

Keep doing this instead of boring let's plays. This is what your fans want Joe!

Crazy that this game started the wave of GaaS games, ingame stores and microtransactions... scary stuff

"unbalanced, no-campaign, walking simulator at full AAA price" Little did he know he would review Battlefield 2042 6 years later

Hoping for good games 2015: -The Order 1886- -Evolve- -Battlefield Harline- (?) Bloodborne Mortal Kombat X The Division Witcher 3 Metal Gear Solid V

IS THAT BLUE!!??

Lol, when Joe gets mad about blue costing 2 dollars and 4 years later its almost 20

1:40 Is that BLUE?!! Is that f** BLUE?!!

God Damn, so much triple-A stuff coming out lately is some sort of scam, rip-off or just plain broken. No surprise that my Wii U gets far more play than my PS4, lately. At least Nintendo puts out games that are fucking finished when you buy them.

Thanks Joe. You saved me from wasting my money. I really wanted to get this game but not if it's this shallow. Not at its current price anyway.

This review is gold, I haven't play the game but still come back to this vid many times for a good laugh.

23:29 "Running on borrowed time" Damn, are you a time-traveler?

Indie companies are making better games.

Alright that was a good review, now to read the comments and how Angry Joe apparently is completely wrong and stupid.

The ideas behind this game had so much potential. The world building (when you get the right hunters together) was very interesting. with the DLC characters there's even more fascinating world building (not worth buying, especially now that they killed the online play and bricked the pc version. just look up youtube videos, namely Caira and Kala and Lennox.) Basilisk soldiers, Lazarus men, Megacorp. named Hub, and much more. bits of the dialogue make this game feel like a tiny piece of a much bigger plot. few bullet points with hunter dialogue: caira and Cabot: Reports of these monsters attacking other worlds. confirming that these monsters weren't on Sheer originally. Caira and Kala: Kala spliced herself with monsters dna to help her understand the monsters. sometimes when she speaks (like when in a downed state) she does not sound like herself. She cracked the genetic code using a formula best known for FTL drives (formula was made up for this game). Caira (forget who else): The eggs aren't actually eggs, they just spawn a monster in a split second in case of emergencies. They are actually energy collectors. something else we haven't seen yet left these "eggs" behind. something is allowing these monsters to spread rapidly. They also appear to be "engineered" not natural. In fact, Kevlar was found in some of their scales, implying they are attempting to adapt to bullets. Plus more: These and more sound like a small piece of a much bigger campaign. One that if a sequel we're likely never going to get takes advantage of all the little details mentioned in these conversations, it could be awesome! sadly, it was squandered by a greedy publisher. (GEE, DOESN'T THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?! almost like its a common occurrence.) Its a shame, the core gameplay was fun, but clearly was not nearly enough. Evac. needed to be a side mode, not the substitute for a campaign. You had a lot of good ideas here Joe. BTW: mistake: you emphasized Bucket's "No one seems to know" and you said "Didn't these idiot colonists notice them. . ." Bucket immediately said after that "They are likely not indigenous (interrupted) to sheer." so, No, they weren't there in the first place so the colonists COULDN'T know. So much wasted potential for this universe. shame what happened to it.

1:36 blue !!!!!!
