Replace 3 dinosaurs -- what would you pick?

Baryonyx · May 12, 2018

Say Frontier let you bin 3 dinosaurs and bring in 5 new ones, which would you pick.

I'd scrap...

Deinoychus - Not a fan of the design
Dracorex - Cos it's highly likely it's actually a baby pachy
Maiasaurus - The dullest of the herbivores. Edmonto, Cory, Para and Tsintao all stand out. Maiasaurus doesn't have anything really unique or interesting except the good mother aspect, which can't come into play cos no babies.

I'd bring in...

Troodon - Fan of it from JP: The Game
Compsognathus
Amargasaurus - Very unique looking

Not Maiasaura! Thus far it's my favorite hadrosaur because it doesn't really have a unique trait and is simple. It stands out by not standing out!

I'd get rid of Deinonychus for the same reason.

Archaeornithomimus and Struthiomimus because they're clones of Galli and themselves.

Dinosaurs I would add:
Cryolophosaurus for its very distinct appearance.
Pachyrhinosaurus for the same reason lol.
Oviraptor because it hasn't had a love in JP media and is a relatively well recognized dinosaur.

Good choices. I want struthiomimus cos I want a large He'll Creek enclosure, plus I liked them on Land Before Time.

Oviraptor would be a great addition. Always been a fan.

I'd take out Struthiomimus,archaeronithomimus and tsinato. I would ad Saltasaurus, segnosaurus and massaspondylus

I don´t like those Dinosaurs, which are too close to another one.

Gallimimus = Struthiomimus
Triceratops = Chasmosaurus
Pachychepalus = Dracorex -) this one because Dracorex and Pachychepalus are probably the same species.
Apatosaurus = Camarasaurus
Corythosaurus = Tsintaosaurus
Velociraptor = Deinonychus

Better alternative choises (in my opinion) would be:

Gallimimus = No Alternative, because we´ve got Archeaornithomimus
Triceratops = Einiosaurus and / or Pachyrhinosaurus
Pachychepalus = Stygimoloch
Apatosaurus = Diplodocus
Corythosaurus = Lambeosaurus
Velociraptor = Oviraptor and / or Troodon

Why Stygimoloch? that is also part of the theory they are the same species.

inachos · May 12, 2018

yeah? O.O

I thought pachycephalosaurus, Dracorex and Homalocephale would be the related ones? :S
I would have choosed Stygimoloch, because it´s snout looked kinda different to me... at least on the pictures I saw XD

Well in that case I would prefer to have no alternative to pachycephalosaurus

Another reason to add Cryolophosaurus: All seven continents would be represented in the game.

Chasmosaurus is beautiful compared to the "meh" Triceratops.

I'm sure Maiasaurus is in the game due to it having a whole stampede scene in the Jurassic Park novel.. Besides the Compsognathus and Microceratops we now have all the dinosaurs from the movies and novels (as far as i know).

I decided to ignore the deluxe dinos, because a) I don't think any of those are crucial and b) I want my replacements in the base game

Out:

1 Struthiomimus (too similar to Galli)
2 Camarasaurus (too similar to Apato)
3 Tsintaosaurus (I actually like this one, but there's already so many Hadrosaurs...)
4 Torosaurus (too similar to Trike)

In

1 Deinocheirus
2 Plateosaurus
3 Iguanodon
4 Protoceratops

I'd also really like a small-ish Sauropod like Europasaurus, Nigersaurus or maybe Saltasaurus. Don't know what I'd throw out for that, though... maybe Dracorex, if Stygimoloch comes with the Fallen Kingdom Pack anyway. Alternatively, put it in the Deluxe pack instead of Chrichtonsaurus.
