- Jurassic Park/World simulation, with dino breeding, expeditions for DNA, and even a bit of a strategy game
Youâll start off on one of a few different islands (not Isla Nublar, which you unlock later). Youâll have a basic structure going on, such as a large pen already built. Youâll still need a few...
Looks like someone's a dino fan :D
Hell yeah! I went to Jurassic World Extinction. I have the other movies on Blu-Ray and I just recently finished re-reading the first book.
Awesome. I can't wait to see Fallen World myself! I also have all the movies on Bluray and even liked Jurassic World!
Fallen World, I thought it was Extinction, getting confused with Ark. LOL
> and even liked Jurassic World
Huh, I thought it was pretty well liked. JP3 on the other hand...
JP3 is my least favorite, although I still like it. JW was apparently "divisive" as I've seen around the web. I liked it, too.
I guess everything is divisive these days.
Jurassic Park 2 is the worst. All others are good.
Minus the latest, I have yet to see it.
That's an interesting take! If someone only dislikes one of the films, it's almost always the third. You may be the only person I've heard of who cared for the third, actually.
I am weird. :)
I rank Episode 3 higher than Episode 6 so yeah me too :D
There are things that are universally loved but movies do seem ... I don't know if divisive is the right word but.. well commented on? I suppose because any yahoo can have a podcast every yahoo does. I feel that's a fair critique as I am on such yahoo. That said, people seemed to dislike it because it was too much like the original, not good enough for various small plot reasons or large plot reasons or mildly pedantic to large issues depending on your perspective. Personally I liked it because it had Dinosaurs eating people and that's what I watch Jurassic Park movies for. It was big and dumb and quite fun. I think some people didn't find the fun part. Odd thing is all the critique is valid for other movies I love so I don't get why some movies it's OK to not say it's bad and others it is?
I'd say Jurassic World is just as good as Tremors or Predator and Jurassic World gets way more disdain.
I think a lot of the movie criticism I canât get behind comes from people taking something too seriously.
I saw an argument shortly after TLJ. Someone giving the example of Yoda controlling the weather as an example of how TLJ doesnât care about established lore.
Like in this movie about freakinâ space wizards you guys are arguing about whether one space wizard who can come back from the dead would be able to pull a lightning bolt out of a storm cloud? Thatâs an insurmountable problem?
Your take on Jurassic World harkens to that. Itâs a film thatâs meant to be fun and fantastical (in a way) sci-fi action but people take it too seriously. I guess I can see why. The first Jurassic Park was big and important. It was fun but took itself seriously. I donât think any of them have done that since and thatâs not a bad thing.
> Like in this movie about freakinâ space wizards you guys are arguing about whether one space wizard who can come back from the dead would be able to pull a lightning bolt out of a storm cloud? Thatâs an insurmountable problem?
Right, I agree. The Emperor shoots lightning from his hands yet the thing that's hard to understand is that it can come from the sky? That's the most believable part, because lighting actually comes from the sky. If the force is everywhere then all Yoda did was spark the force to do the natural weather thing, which seems canonical to me if not done before.
So if many people's problems is that Star Wars does too much new stuff, then I think when everyone complained Force Awakens was a retread needs to rethink that. Sounds like it would be the best sequel ever. It did new stuff, but it's basic plot and themes were very similar.
> It was fun but took itself seriously. I donât think any of them have done that since and thatâs not a bad thing.
Yeah and the biggest parts where the film breaks down is in basic genetics. Like copy pasting from Frog DNA wouldn't really create Dinosaurs and if it did they'd be really strange looking. The basic premise of Jurassic Park doesn't work yet that's not what the main problem with the series is? Paper thin characters are pretty common in campy films but I think people expect each film to be Chaucer, which I think movies like Fallen Kingdom are clearly more like Mad Magazine.
Also, people don't have to agree on what's good. People also don't need to be consistent, i'm not. I guess i'm just raging(not really) against the notion of some kind of art based consensus. It can exist in communities, but it's OK to think differently and we don't need to all agree.
Form your own way. That's a big reason why this site exists else i'd just be posting game reviews on Facebook.
Amen! Enjoy things when you can, move on when you canât. The idea of things being âobjectively badâ seems rampant these days which I cannot get behind.
I may have to edit my review of this game, now that I've spent more time with it. This is a good game, perhaps much better than I originally thought. It's not just a Jurassic Park/World simulator, it's a strategy game! It's also challenging. There's so much to do and plenty of things take a lot of time to do (like analyzing fossils for DNA and completing a genome). I actually do wish the game was a bit easier, but there's no difficulty setting. The easiest it gets is when you unlock Isla Nublar, which is the game's "creative mode." Here, you don't have to worry about money and you can turn off storms and make it so dinos won't try to break out of their pens. If only I had those options for the other islands! I feel like this game is pretty much worth full price, even though it's definitely not cheap. In a way I want to pull myself away and let go of the various goals in the game. I've unlocked all the islands, but I keep wanting to play it, there's still more to do.

LOL Yeah that pretty much covers it.
FYI, this game is currently (temporarily) free on Epic Games, so hurry up and grab it while you can! I recently bought the DLC I was missing (some dino packs, Claire's Sanctuary, and Return to Jurassic Park) and have been playing it lately. It's still a great game and I feel like it was easier this time around. I've spent nearly 200 hours playing this game. Luckily, I'm not done yet and I still want more. I'm really loving it. I think I'd like to reiterate that it's not just simply a park builder, but to me it also feels like a strategy game, but still very fun! Now that I think about it, I think I'm going to change my review from "Rad" to "Must Play." I think it's that good!
