I wish I could bug the JWFK chaos theory so I can play the chaos theory without doing the objectives and have my own JW without the hassle of building it
If you are on PC you could just wait a week or two and look around for save files that have everything unlocked if all you want is sandbox mode. A lot of people are saying the campaign is fun but really short and feels incomplete. It's about 2-3 hours long depending on how you play it. There will probably be Dominion DLC that extends the campaign most likely. It will most likely be free or could be DLC we have to buy. Also Evolution Square said the Chaos Theory scenarios aren't all that great in her opinion and she said one is really bad. The Chaos Theory scenarios seem to take the most time. The JP scenario can take 5 hours to complete. Then after that you have the challenge modes.
She also said that the maps aren't all that big, at least not as big as she though. So building your dream park isn't going to be that easy especially if you want to use aviaries and lagoons. I think the JP Nublar map and the JP3 Chaos Theory Sorna map are pretty small. Also we don't have access to everything in the sandbox mode so it doesn't really feel like sandbox. Also I found out the other day we can't have aviaries and lagoons in a JP era build. Also there is no JP themed aviary.
What I will probably do is play the campaign. Then do the Chaos Theory scenarios. Then unlock everything I can in challenge mode. Then wait for a save file to get the skins that you can unlock through the challenge mode. After that I will either mess around in sanbox a little and wait for fixes for issues, a JP themed aviary and maybe JP themed lagoons, mods to unlock the boundaries for the maps so we can have actual bigger maps. Then I will really dive into the game.
I spent 400 hours in the first game and I was a big supporter of the first game both vocally and financially. I bought every DLC. I preordered the deluxe edition of JWE2 for $70. It's just really disappointing cause there are so many good things about this game and then there are some that shouldn't even be problems. We shouldn't have to beg to have the campaign maps and game assets in sandbox . We shouldn't have to beg for aviaries and lagoons in a JP era park build in sandbox. We should have a JP themed aviary at the least. None of this makes sense for a sequel. It's like we got so close to having the perfect modern JP/JW park builder and it just didn't happen. Here we are 3 years later with the sequel begging for stuff we had in the first game. Like we lost all that progress. It's really frustrating.
