Played a couple of Evacuation matches last night and I have to say, it was extremely fun. There is a great sense of adapting to each team's behaviour, especially if, like me, you manage to stay faced against the same four hunter players for the duration.
Both sides of it were very enjoyable, but there is something special about five consecutive matches as a hunted beast. I actually (incoming pun) evolved my game style throughout the duration of the rounds, to the point where the hunters feared me. They ultimately won in a down to the wire battle, it was great.
A quick bit of info on DLC and stuff. As you would expect, I recommend sticking with the standard version of the game if you are interested. I was generously gifted the MR edition and beyond the season pass, you don't currently seem to get anything extra so there is no real reason to down pay for things not released yet.
Pricing-wise, I personally think it very much worth the asking price without any of the bells and whistles, but this is from a PC perspective. I think the current console game prices are absolutely absurd, so I can't advise on that front as I believe every game is over priced. Early in the thread, I mentioned that the DLC wasn't on the Steam store page, but this only seemed to be the case just after launch and they are now listed as you would expect. So, for PC players on the fence, we can safely assume the DLC will be discounted in future sale.
One more thing about the future DLC as I understand it. Characters and monsters must be purchased, but can be played against by all. In solo mode for example, you can choose to face against AI playing classes and monsters you don't own. In a multi-player match, the same rules apply and I also believe that if a player were to choose the Behemoth, leave the game once it has started and another player joins to take over the role, they will be able to play as the beast even if they don't own the DLC. This is the way we have been lead to believe it works in any event.
