Worries about the game

[Deadmonkey36]

First of all, I think this game looks AMAZING. I want to thank everyone at Frontier for making the game that I have been waiting for since JPOG. But even though the game looks like a great game I have some worries about it. First of all I'm worried that there might not be an island where you can start a park from scratch in a generated island (like JPOG) where you can use all the space of the island (from what I understand there is limited space where you can build in each island).
2nd I feel like there isn't enough danger with the dinosaurs because nobody in your ranger team can die. That takes away the feel of respect/fear for the huge carnivore dinosaurs maybe if it was like the first trailer where you can send a group of people to fix a fence and a dinosaur can come and eat them it would add a good sense of immersion. Finally I think there should be an infantry ranger team which you can send to capture escaped dinosaurs (imagine reenacting the scene from JW of the asset containment team trying to recapture the Indominous). I think this because of the same reason mentioned before that nobody in your ranger team can die so it would be pretty cool that there could be a team that could be completely anihilated.

I agree the worry of not having a sandbox island with a day/night cycle and that rangers aren't in danger.

I'm more worried about after we finish the game, will they give us funky options when we play again? Like a site B, even though watching your dinosaurs roam free can be quite boring. Maybe something off the realm of what a park sim can let you do.

I believe Nublar and Sorna will be the biggest maps obviously. So a Site B mode unlocked by say getting 3 or 4 stars on all Islands in the Muerte chain would be nice. Sorna would be the Site B map since that goes along with the Lore and it would be one of the biggest play areas.

After watching a few interviews I like that they are trying to add some substance to the game. To make it replayable with the different divisions. Having a narrative involved. People saying the game cost too much should keep this in mind.

Lack of customisation is my biggest concern, everybody's Island is gonna look essentially the same.

Another is map size. Only allowing us to build on a section of the map is ridiculous. It's a pointless limitation. If I want to build paths over mountains I should be able to.

I agree with Deadmonkey36 and would love to see a vulnerability with the Ranger teams. You can always invest in hiring new people for your ranger team if they were to die, right? Even pay them more salary if the tasks become dangerous. I'd happily pay them extra to go catch that carnivore.

It feels like universal is taking the fun and life out of the game with their stupid limitations. I think the creators are irritated with that too. Jpog had a little blood and Gore and your jeeps could be destroyed by dinos and heck you could build a turret to kill your dinos. I think they are trying to limit the violence which takes the life out of a dinosaur game. Its stupid you can't shoot them and put them down if the get out. Plus I didn't see any blood in game which is ok but a few little splashes would add to the excitement. It doesn't look believable when the dinos eat. Jpog had that meat animation that was kind of cool. Invincible jeep should be a cheat code not in game. If its destroyed you need to buy a new one. I don't see the big deal with not having kids in the game. An adult being eaten is no different. I don't understand the sudden need to keep this out of games. Kids play far worse now days.

As for the islands they are alot bigger and more realistic then jpog. I'd like to see the whole island be accessible but this is an improvement from jpog. Random generated islands would be difficult in this game with all of the elements in it. I'd like to see some premade sandbox maps, other islands and heck mainland parks sound fun. I think they could create other maps so we aren't stuck thigh just the 6. Maybe give us control of the settings in sandbox so we can unlock all digsites, or all research, setting for no money, maybe set the weather and time of day for sanbox islands. Some stuff to give us more control over sandbox. Could be an added feature after having a 5 star park.

Knowing Frontier, if there isn't a sandbox option at the release of the game....they will add one in eventually. To be honest I am quite happy to rather earn a Site B style of map. Another theme of comments I notice in threads similar to this is the lack of space. I think people may be forgetting paddocks can have multiple dinosaur species in them, you also can jump island to island and all we have seen is a limited demonstration view. Maybe the maps are a lot bigger than we have been shown! I am in agreement about disappointment with no vehicles being destroyed or staff being eaten.

Do we even know if we can visit other peoples parks yet? If everyones Park looks the same I don’t think it would really matter since we can’t even see it.

Thus far, the game will only be singleplayer. We haven't been given any reason to believe we can see other peoples parks. You can always send screenshots to others?
