So much cons about the Leopard here which is somehow a bit strange as it was number 1 animal with a bigger difference to the number 2 species. I know it is a personal view but looking at it in a General view its inclusion cannot be a con (not going into some peoples issues about its model but which seems totally fine to me). We wanted that frontier listens to us and now we got number 1 and number 2 along with a gibbon (even if its not the most popular gibbon species). Along with it the Axolotl comes to us as one of the (Perhaps the most) popular exhibit animals.
So another pro for the pack:
Frontier listens to its community in case of animals they chose.
From an objective standpoint, your completly right.
No doubts about that.
It was the most wanted animal by a mile and frontier Listend, something we can applaud them for.
But this thread isnt about our objective opinions but our subjective one.
And the Leopard is very easy to be disliked or to be disinterested in because its inclusion has valid objective criticism, which obviously arnt saying it should be excluded from the game, but its the reason why i and someothers are uninterested in it.
And those are simply that it brings nothing new to the table gameplay wise.
It looks like a slim Jaguar with the same niche as the Siberian Tiger and shares both visual and gameplay overlap with the much more distinct snow leopard.
From both a gameplay and visual standpoint you can describe the leopard as a "clone" animal that doesnt add anything new besides now existing.
You could swap your Jaguars out for them or put them in your siberian tiger habitat and no one would notice.
But ofcourse im still happy for everyone who wanted it, i personally just would have prefered no clone without any new gameplay in the 4+1 dlc and rather im 7+1, but now that we have it its fine, just not exciting and a quite literal meh animal for me.
