General / Off-Topic Jurassic World Evolution - General Discussion

It's a little bit ironic coming from you that Skywater's personal 9/10 rating is being dismissed. Weren't you upset at certain people for supposedly shouting out your concerns with Frontier's games?

Where is it being dismissed? It´s not. Good he enjoys it. The question is, will he say the same about the game in next 3 months? We don´t know. Many people changed their opinion about PC and JPE is also a dropping a bit. That´s all I´m saying.

Also, funny enough I bought a magazine about PC games yesterday, after a loong time and they re-reviewed Planet Coaster. It ends with "Perfect and biggest building kit ever. Game not so much". It´s appearent that Frontier´s games are rated high at the beggining, but later, people start to realize it´s lacking some important things.

Also, speaking of "shouting out my concerns" he is not. His post just say he would give it 9/10 and describe some general things. Haven´t heard much arguments from you people about the management lacking depth. Some people described what is missing in the management, but all I read from you is "this game is not about management" or "I think it´s perfectly fine" or just things along these lines. Haven´t seen much concrete reasons, why you think the management should be considered as good in PC/JPE, except maybe saying you don´t want to micro-management. But neither do I (or most people complaining about it as we more complain about the actual balance).


EDIT:

Also have a look at their post on FB regarding streams and read comments. People are mostly asking about DLC (Already ?!)complaining about small sandbox map, lack of customization and that fences break far too much

I've only played it a little bit and I reckon I'm going to start it again as I only have one dinosaur left after releasing a Ceratosaurus before realising I haven't got the ability to tranquilise her yet. She killed my Struthiomimus and one Triceratops before being taken down by my other Trike.

To be honest, I was glad it runs at all. The trees look naff but the dinos and park look pretty good. I knew about it before purchasing, but the business with the power supply is a bummer. I didn't like that aspect of SimCity and I don't like it now but it's just part of it, I guess.

Can anyone confirm whether you still have to do all of that in sandbox mode? It'll be a while before I get it at this rate, mind.
 
Personally, I have enjoyed the little time I have played this so far.

I had a 100% safety record until I forgot to place Grassland for my Ceratosaurus. It got annoyed and basically went on a killing spree [shocked]

Other than that, there are a few things that I think could be added, but I'm happy with how it is for now.

Sidenote - That Frontier intro on the game though [heart]
 
Just noticed JPE dropped a lot on Steam reviews. On the other hand, it looks like there is a chance Frontier will actually work harder on the game in the future. At first, they refused to fix the sizes of Dinos, but after the community kept complaining, they are actually fixing it. I wish it was similar to PC honestly.
 
Got to play this for the first time the other day.

Really disappointed.

I sort of expected Planet Coaster but dinosaurs instead of rides. I guess an updated Zoo Tycoon Dinosaur Digs.
I mean, I only played perhaps 30 minutes but it was clear it wasn't what I thought.

This is where they could transform Planet Coaster, but I wonder if there is a draw to stay as a proper theme park rather than copying Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 with animals and waterparks. But then look at places like Disney...

Just a shame.
Maybe I'll give it another go at some point soon but the screenshots made it look like something it wasn't.

Well, if you look at the pre-release videos, it was quite obvious what the game is like. In my opinion, there is not much gameplay and I cannot imagine this game would be fun for me for more than 2 days. I however think it´s great for dino fans, who just want to "observe" things.

All I did was watch ppl play on youtube. There’s nothing really to do in the game. 55 dollars forget it! They would have to make drastic, and I mean drastic!, changes for me to play it.
 
If you havn't purchased this yet, It is on sale at the Steam store. 38.00 for the premium edition that includes all current DLC's.
