Topic: Evolve Beta Live

The Evolve beta is now live and running for all Xbox Gold members. I'm currently downloading it, so I haven't played it yet (though I did play the alpha), but I'm picking up on lots of underwhelmed reactions on pX's Facebook page.

Have you played it yet? What are your thoughts?

Evolve has been a weird experience to witness, both to play and its marketing.
Discuss!

Not got too much interest in it myself. My (possibly quite wrong) impression is that it's an online only game (like Titanfall) and that gameplay consists of a bunch of people hunting down a single person playing the monster. They either kill them or get killed trying. Rinse and repeat. Doesn't set my heart on fire with anticipation that's for sure...

I've downloaded it to give it a whirl..........

I got bored very quickly with the Alpha for similar reasons to Stylon so won't bother with the Beta or main game when its released

I'm going to give her one more go before awaiting a price drop. I can see this model of game doing very well as a WiiU title with 5 people in the house, similar to Mario Chase or the MyKong mode in Tanks, Tanks, Tanks! Where the "monster" plays on gamepad and others on split-screen. This looks like a game best played with friends is my main point, and anytime I've seen other sites "previewing" they play in this format.
