D+ What a Disappointment

[Tgk72]

I have absolutely no doubt that Universal studios rushed them to get this out the door before JWFK. But I will say this.. this is the most polished example of a rushed game I have ever played. The terrible financial balance paired with shallow and lacking areas, especially in the customization/decoration department is what gives this fact away. But what is there works very well, is for the most part bug free, and polished to mirror finish.

Frontier, despite releasing a, relative to their other games, shallow experience has done a FANTASTIC job with what they were asked to do and the time they were given to do it.

Its not as balanced and rounded as the original JPOG was, but it's even right now the game my 14 year old self wished that I had instead. And long as they level out the incredibly huge income/expense imbalances eventually and make it necessary to actually manage your park and finances throughout all 5 stars beyond just building a few exhibits then entering unlimited cash god-mode after the first hour on ANY island. (Even the 3rd island failed park) Then I can then comfortably say that this is the greatest JP game ever created.

Violation of human rights is a norm in some places of history. That doesn't make it acceptable.

If I sold a partially finished phone that was still missing its ability to dial numbers, people would throw a fit (and rightfully so!).

Cause a game not living up to someone's unrealistic expectations and demands is like a human rights violation. LOL

All I can say is...great game, bad fanbase. Well at least some of the fans are bad.

That's your opinion... because that to me is just false. It's not a bad fanbase, it's just a diverse one with different and opposing ideals.

Not really. No.

1. The game has got huge issues and no replay value which makes it in fact almost not enjoyable for a long time. It do not need improvements ... it needs a stronger fundament and No one, even those people that are always pro everything (for what reason ever) can tell me: These "Issues" aren´t worth to talk about.
2. you are happy with the game which is great to hear, but many people do not agree with you on that. And calling them as "bad fans" or "whiners" is disrespectful and far away from reality. You attack people very often and it´s no help at all. It only poisend the forum long before the "worries" about the game started.

Let´s be honest everyone. We all on this forum want to play a good game. For some people it is good enough to enjoy. Great thing. But for many others, who expected much more on a basic level, like me, it´s not. All I wanted was a better looking JPOG at least ... but JWE is, as I said in other threads before, not enjoyable at a long time which kills a game like this in less than 1 Week! If someone enjoys to build the same things again and again (if there will be updates or not isn´t important at this point since the game is already released and we have to deal with the content there is for now), on the same Islands which are in fact all similiar, but with different sizes and Light, than this person is very lucky.

In case of myself I have to say after all: I realized that the one thing, I would never thought of before, happend with JWE. After 4 days I saw everything and have got no chance of being creative on nublar at all ... After 4 days the game is over and complete. I always talked about my impressions prelaunch and that I was worried about certain things, but I would never dare to thought of such a result on the final product...
All I can do is wait for now and hope that frontier will save the game with their updates and if not they lost just another customer. it´s an easy thing, but also frustrating for me, because I do not know if my hopes are too high ... and if JWE stays the way it is ... That´s my opinion and I think it will be my last post on this forum. I do not care anymore for all of the poison from every side here on this forum, that I saw the 2 month since I am active here and all the frustration frontier gave me.

Hope everyone enjoys the game and perhaps in one year or something I will be back on Nublar and finally will be able to "build" Jurassic Park... but it depends on the size of nublar. If the island size isn´t much, much, much larger then, than the game is dead. Also my trust in frontier. One last comment, because I feel the need to say it outloud: It´s still hurts, that I was forced to animal cruelty in case of have more than 3 Spezies in my park. Those animals are Dinosaurs! They need much more space than modern animals!!! The half of nublar alone would be the space a Brachiosaurus would need! And it´s just wrong to put them not in modern enclosers, but in loveless and tiny 20th century cages (even through there´s no cement ground) ...

I'm sure simply insulting the fanbase will get them on your side. Great plan.

Asking people to pay €60 for what is a rushed, unfinished game is insulting to their fanbase, and the only thing you apparantly have to say to that is that people are whiners, and have unrealistic expectations. It's not your money, you dont get to decide what other people do with it, and if people (like me) feel like what we spend on the game isn't worth it, we have every right to complain about it. Like somebody said, if people sell you a phone that's missing some buttons, would you be happy? Would you defend the manufacturer with something like, they'll maybe fix it in a few months? Offcourse not.

Kinda ignored this thread. But I would say for me personally its a B+, maybe a bit higher I might say. Great game and loving it so far but could be even better with more love. Not nessesarily what I was expecting but not going to complain about that. Looking forward to what changes and additions comes next, heck I actually need to finish the first play through yet. I have bassically played this game non stop in what little free time I have and loving every minute. In terms of price, I dont know what constitutes a game worth buying at £54/$60 these days but I have bought a few games recently and regretted it. Not with this one however.

The problem is this is not the x version of gta or anything else this is a genre that is DEAD now we got finally a game in this genere again and it sucks more then i can find words for it. Beside of superb graphics and sound it simply does not offer anything. Maybe harsh but i payed 60 bucks and expected way better especially from Frontier. After 1 Week everyone is done with this game i guarantee and DLCs with 6 more Dinsoaurs who cares for that really ??? Right no one(yea yea kids maybe) because it will bring nothing to the table. After 40 Hours you are done 100% and the sad part is you have seen everything after 10h. Its not a sim its a cuddle dinosaur zoo ainly targeted for kids.(i mean look at the movie the story is so much of a garbage that michael would turn in his grave)

Well I'm over 40 hours on and just got the second island. I haven't rushed anything and just love the slow pace of it
I have maybe 10 dinos unlocked and still are having a blast.
