What's this 'negative hype' people are talking about?

Unlocking features even if its in a mandatory campaign mode for an end game sandbox mode sounds perfect. From pretty much being addicted to Surviving Mars atm, that would have been a perfect addition to that title and pulled it out of mixed reviews.

The only other problem i remember from the first round of info was guest diversity. Remember clicking on each person in operation genesis and seeing the little table with their needs? Like there is in planet coaster? That makes you familiar with them to some degree. I hope that's been implemented.

The day night cycle is just going to suck, that hasn't improved in anything ive seen. All the press stuff has too contrasty long shadows that knock the body out of the islands (naturally). Hopefully frontier aren't stuck about this, because planet coaster has spectacular lighting, the engine is capable.

Everything else is going to come in the cosmetics shop, its frontier after all.

It hasn't bothered me. All the people complaining haven't changed my opinion of the game. There are some people on Reddit going around calling the game trash and saying Frontier lied to them, when they obviously haven't promised anything. People crying cause the game doesn't have 40,000 animations for each Dinosaur.

I wish there was a day and night cycle as well but there isn't. We can change the lighting on Nublar though. It's not perfect but it's something. I really just want the lighting anyway. But I do wish we had some variation in the lighting. Like we could set the exact kind of sunset we want. Not to take it completely out of that time of day, just to tweak the lighting a little.

This mornings best in slot video? Yeah just watched that. Guess im glad that stuff doesn't bother me... though im glad there are other examples of fans of this ip + genre not taking well to something thats meaningful to them. Like me with the deluxe edition contents vs premium price. Also the comparisons to JPOG are inevitable... hopefully there's some sort of flocking ai in jwe because i enjoyed it when the gallamimus and velociraptors did it back then.

The day night cycle could be simple.. how about one that follows you from island to island... so there's one time of day for YOU and the islands all follow along. I dont want to think of why they didn't do that.. oh dear. Perhaps its for the best.

For me personally, im just as excited as I was when the game was announced. Is it Tuesday yet?
