Lack of dinosaur variety
- Thread starter Dino droppings? Droppings?
- Start date
I agree with that statement to an extant. But they didn't have to make a game and listen to most of our concerns and address/try to fix them.
I absolutely agree. I'm NOT for a second saying its all about the money.
Then what was your point? Why did you make the thread complaining/whining about having dinosaurs that look the same? Unless you want a bunch of entirely different models.
In the end, almost everything that frontier does is all about the money which at times is kinda unfortunate.
To be as cynical and facetious as possible here, they are kind of financially incentivised to make listen to us and to make this game the best it can be.
Oh man, I thought we moved away from the whining.
It was a suggestion that maybe instead of using the same rough model for over half the dinosaurs, they cut down on the number and focus on more morphological variety. Wait until this comes out; I gurantee this will be an area of criticism.
Well now most people have seen all the dinosaurs and there is very few people complaining about it.
A suggest with a conclusion. You obviously want different models so why deny it? Andrew was right in his post. You are just unhappy they didn't make 100 different Dinosaur models. That's the whole point of this thread right?
Otherwise why even bother posting this?
I am sure that once they have the game out and have more freedom to play around with making models we will see a completely different variety of them. That is why there is no Flying or Aquatic Reptiles, there was simply not enough time to make them the way frontier did. They took what they knew they had, and made as made different dinosaurs with it, knowing that )I am convinced) A much more complex and sophisticated parks in a year from now.
exactly
This thread is divisive. With one side claiming that the other is whining (I honestly hate when people call it whining because it's not...) and the other trying to
defend his or her claim about the lack of unique dinosaurs. Well, that's the simplified version. But anyway I agree that Frontier should add Aquatic and Aerial
Mezozoic reptiles in future dlcs and free updates.

Lack of variety? ...what are people expecting exactly? I mean sure, there are a few types of dinosaurs that are notably absent; small, hornless ceratopsians like Leptoceratops or Protoceratops, small ornithopods like Dryosaurus or Hypsilophodon, Oviratorosaurs and Therizinosaurs... but on the other hand, these are real-world animals, not Pokemon; they can't just go nuts with the designs or make drastic changes to them and as a result there will ultimately be a lot of animals with similar appearances...
Agreed
My only possible criticism is that there's only two raptors. I think one of the stegosaurs from the Chinese formation *(think there's 3 or 4 from the same formation) could have been cut for another raptor (Troodon or Utahraptor would be nice choices, Utah would stand out because of its size.
*Puts on Peter Ludlow Glasses* Jurassic World is our game now...and we will jealously defend it's interests...* Goes to walk away before OP grabs his arm. Turns and sighs* "Careful...this suit is worth more than your education...* walks off.
In all seriousness though, anything Jack Horner pops out these days is -highly- debatable. I mean T-Rex that can't run? Everything not a Pachy being a juvenile Pachy? *pop-up with comedic image of Jack Hornor appears* "Ah ah ah , you didn't agree with my theory, ah ah ah! " *Glares at screen* "PLEASE!!...God damn it! I hate this Horner crap!"
But I digress, All in all the amount of species we have at the moment is quite acceptable. Everyone has their preferences. For example I for one prefer Camarasaurus to Apatosaurus or Memenchisaurus. I prefer Torosaurus rather than Triceratops. We have a great variety of species of dinosaurs that can be appreciated by people according to their preferences and I feel our respective parks will reflect that. Like mentioned before, even more species will come over time. I simply do not see this "lack of dinosaur variety" you have mention. I do not see it or understand it. It really just feels like unneeded knit picking at this point..."so uh..uh..well...there you have it."
It appears as though you too are guilty of misunderstanding me.
I've never denied I want different models but it is a total mischaracterization to say that I'm 'just unhappy they didn't make 100 different dinosaur models'. If you actually read what I've wrote I've literally said the opposite; less dinosaurs more variation. It's not an incredibly complicated argument.
The entire point of this post; less dinosaurs more variation. Id rather 25 unique models than 42 with roughly half if not more of them belonging to the same family as 5 of the others. Ceratopsians, Ankylosaurians, Stegasaurians, Hadrosaurs and Sauropods. It's not necessarily a bad thing; it's only a negative when that comes at the expense of variation.
Think about how less exciting it will be when you unlock a new dinosaur at a digsite and you already have 4 others that are not only analogous, but homologous.
Whether you agree with that or not is a completely different argument altogether.
I think/hope so too. But I was never argueing against that.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
