why bad ratings?

[Zoie Shales]

Some are having trouble running it, and others just want everything ever to fail.

Just want to play a regular sand box game and not have to grind my way through bs challenges and chores before I can actually enjoy the game.

Well that's what jurassic World evolution do.

Most negative reviews are people not being able to open the game.
Personally, im only 2 hours in and I can already say that this game is better then JWE1

[Fritzy]

well ... a month later the game only has 1800 players, I guess it was a failure, probably the next month the number will be infinitely worse and so on until people forget about it. Unless they take a 360 ° turn

Two main reasons.

The game has a lot of flaws, including the fact it feels unfinished in some cases. It has a lot of bugs, some of those bugs came from JWE and still aren't fixed.

Some systems in the game are an improvement, some are a step backwards.

Then the next big reason, Steam review system is highly flawed. Because it uses a black/white recommendation system rather than a more accurate out of 10 rating. Reviews that are right in the middle have no fair option for whether you recommend it. In those cases where it's close to 50/50 I will always hit no.

People utterly blasted the game for very childish reasons. Little things, like sandbox mode wasnt what they wanted. Campaign mode wasnt what they wanted. Gameplay wasn't what they wanted. It's more challenging, they didnt want that. I want. I want. Me. Me. Me.

The minority are mad cause the game run on their potato PC.

So, this means the game is "Utterly Unplayable" and the entire franchise is dead to them. Unbelievably childish.

Most of the first hour reviews are just rubbish.
Some seem to have even bought it only to write a negative review and then returned it. We had a strange troll tide in this forum shortly before release, with a lot of people writing always the same nonsense, and this is what you can often read in these reviews as well.
Also, some seem not to understand the game. Complaining about having to refuel the generators, or about dinos constantly fighting. And they don't understand that this is due to their bad management.
Don't trust any review with less than 5 hours of playtime.

However the game still suffers from bugs and does have some flaws, so not all of the bad review are illegitimate.

if the next bug fixes doesn't free that one dryo that's stuck in the hatchery i'll leave a negative review. scared, dehydrating, starving and all alone is no way to treat any creatoid this way! >:(

Ofcoarse.
Like the glitchy Air lift animation of the long necks. Sometimes a dino will teleport outside the fence, only small ones from my experience. Dino clipping could be better. Frozen dinos. The last 3 are so rare it has no bearing on my experience or opinion but if you read the reviews, you'd be led to believe it all the time and unplayable. It's playable.

I often marvel at the fact I'm playing Jw; Evolution. I'm so lucky to be able to still play a modern version of this game after all this time. I used to play Operation Genesis so I sit back and think how lucky I am to still have a modern equivalent... but some people are happy to burn the entire franchise to the ground over such petty things.

Jp: Operation Genesis, "I have mastered this amazing game. Please gib more"
Jw: Evo, "Amazing, we have what we prayed for, This game is challenging and awesome, look at my next gen dino park!"
Jw: Evo 2, "Nooo, too much micro and many bugs :"( I don't want to work to unlock things! My Last Last Last gen PC is dying! **Tantrum**"

yet even now people would still compare jpog to this game and make the ridiculous claim that jpog's better when it's clearly not. people that say this had unrealistic expectations for this game but they fail to realize that theres only so much devs can do

People keep saying this about singleplayer games and I don't understand why. If I can enjoy the game without the need for subscription income to keep servers running, does it matter one iota how many people are playing? If I'm the only one playing, and I can play until the end of my life without having to worry about the game shutting its doors due to lack of subs, it's a success as far as I'm concerned.

If we're being more objective, we're approaching 5,000 total reviews and they're 77% positive. How is this a failure? Concurrent player numbers are hardly the measure for this, as it's not a game that's meant to be played religiously, or indeed even daily. Even if it were, the 24 hour peak for concurrent players is 3,490, not 1,800.

I will try to explain it better, in the first game at its launch the game had 60,000 players, in one month it decreased to 13,000 and in two months it decreased to 3,000.
Of those 60,000 players, who played at the launch of the first game, only 17,000 returned at the launch of the second (along with new players).
A month later only 1800 average (with a peak of 3000) continue to play the game, Now if we look at the achievements there is an achievement that is unlocked when you create the mosasaur (That's No Tadpole), it is an achievement only 23% of those achieved. players, it means that 77% did not complete the chaos theory mode nor could they enjoy one of the biggest promises in the game.
My analysis means that the game is rubbish and shouldn't you like it? No, you can enjoy it.
As for the positive reviews, it usually agrees with a good number of players (see the case of Doom or portal or something closer like zoo planet), although it is also true that the number of players tends to decline faster in singleplayer games. , JWE2 lost 80% of its players in less than a month, it is too fast even for this type of game not to mention the marketing it also receives from the film and from fans of the saga itself.
To summarize, if we see the complete picture, we see that from the first game to this 43,000 players were lost, if we see that 80% of players left the game in less than a month and if we see that 77% of the players could not see a mosasaurs and probably not any marine reptile and 64% did not create a T. Rex either, you get an idea of ​​where the shots go.

I'm so confused by this player base. They complain about the short campaign but lack the attention span to complete the Chaos Theory. Chaos Theory provides a much better narrative than any campaign could. Campaign has always been grinding through islands with bare bones narrative anyways, it can't exactly have a branching story line with in-depth characters and romantic side-quests.

1.2% have unlocked the award from releasing all dinos. Tells me everything I need to know about what people want. They want it all, for free, without challenge, without work, they want a better Campaign mode but they also ignore Chaos Theory?

Funny thing is, if they had all these things, they'd complain the game is too easy, there's no challenge and Campaign mode is too long and boring.

Sounds more like confirmation bias.

There's multiple reasons why people might not have all dinos yet.

1 being the campaign aka 'glorified tutorial and nothing more mod' actually put them off bothering with the rest of the game. Honestly if I was new to this game, played that mode, I probably would have given it up too and refunded.

But as a player of JWE, which had a far better campaign, I really bought it for sandbox. Because let's be honest that's where the life of the game really is for most of us.

CT was okay, it was more of a campaign than campaign was. But for the most part enjoyable, didn't care much for JP3 and JW2. Honestly think they could have just dropped it. Particularly the JW2 one as it didn't even follow it's own narrative.

CM was bleh. TBH challenge mode was never something I cared about, I do it purely for the unlocks. It's a good mode if you like that sort of thing, just not my cup of tea.

But I digress. The game is only a month old, so it's normal that the majority haven't unlocked everything.
