Late to the Party

Evolve is coming out next week and my boyfriend is super excited about it. I am more ambivalent, though his excitement is starting to bleed over.

Last month, I thought I would never play the game. I had gotten a code for the alpha and made many unsuccessful attempts to play at that time. Then I received an email with a code for the technical test on PS4 due to my "participation" in the alpha. I gave that to my boyfriend, since he hadn't gotten one and I knew he loved what he had played during the alpha. But, once again, I documented this for Twitter and a follower provided me with his spare code. (Thank you, @ilikesomegames!)

This time around, I was able to get into the game. I played the tutorial, but I think that was it. I spent so much time watching Jesse play, though, that I can't be sure I didn't play more. And when the test was over, I was sad that I couldn't go home after work for a session of Evolve.

Which is why I would consider buying it. Maybe. On sale. For some reason, it just didn't feel like something I would buy or ever put hours and hours into. Unless it was $20. I heard this same sentiment on at least one podcast (@gwjcc) as well. It seems like I might get bored. I don't know why. I can get addicted to some pretty repetitive games. Regardless, I'm pretty sure I'll be watching a lot of Evolve for a few weeks. Well, maybe I'll be playing Resogun Vita, now that I think about it.
