Especially given that Extinction was originally supposed to be a free update.Įxtinction began life as a the long-promise 'recode' of Primal Carnage, which was to fix old, old problems that'd long held the game back. If I had paid £14.99, I might be less jazzed about bugs and everyone hanging with their dinobuds.
Of course, I didn't buy the game with the express goal of shooting dinosaurs/eating men, so I suppose my reaction might be a mite different.
Heck yeah I want to chill out as a big ole dinosaur! One highly-rated review complains that as well as Extinction not being much of an upgrade over its predecessor, most servers are on Free Roam mode: 'A game mode where literally nothing happens and players just troll and walk around.' The dinosaur-hunting multiplayer FPS reached version 1.0 and left Early Access last week, and I've had a bit of a nose round its Steam user reviews.
My new favourite demonstration of the subjectivity of reviews is Primal Carnage: Extinction.
