How many are playing other dinosaur games?

[Adam__86]

I haven't touched the Isle since April 2019 and since everything I have seen of the 'recode' doesn't really seem revolutionary it seems I still have a wait to return BUT I am curious if, like myself, you have played other dinosaur games whilst waiting (no names required)

I just picked up PoT like 2 days ago. It's got potential, but right now it has even less to do than legacy TI.

Is this necessary?

It's not like there's anything else to talk about currently so why not have a social conversation about dinosaur games. It's not like people cannot play multiple games of the same genre, besides some may have nice features good for The Isle

I thought about BoB, but everytime I see an all bright pink dinosaur, I feel too old to play it lol. Great mechanics, though. I'm not sure about PoT, but it has promise? I thought about Primal Carnage, but I'd burn out on that easily.

I checked out Wolf Quest (not a dinosaur game, I know) but does have a good combat system. It has a turning game, plus a bite/grapple mechanic that depicts RL hunting fairly well. Something The Isle should be paying attention too, IMO. Instead of just trying to rip off old mechanics like pouncing, and latching -which aren't going well thus far, but who knows.

Actually after rereading your post, I can see what ya mean. BoB is kinda..ya know, Bob. Its itself and i guess you can give it points for originality?

PoT seems to have promise.

PoT has released new dino's for there demo n the last update to day and BoB has also released an update, i could be wrong but it looks like they fixed the lights in the game,( pink dino's shouldn't look so bright anymore, (...hopefully)

- Dino vs Dino games - or games that let you play as a dinosuar;
1) The Isle - "..you know" - ARMA like sim, kind'a!
2) Beasts of Bermuda - mmorpg like
3) Path Of Titans - demo
4) Suarian - singleplayer sim

- The top five are the most playable, then in descending order, I have played the top 8, but all need work, time and more players.
- I should add that there is a ton of player hunting dinosaur games, new and old games, most on Steam.
- Wolf Quest Anniversary ed. & Maneater get an houorable mention, for non human protaganist gameplay

I tried BoB but wasn't keen on the aesthetics

PoT looks promising but is currently boring without friends

Though not a survival game I still enjoy Jurassic World Evoloution

I wish I bought the Jurassic World Evo game while it was on sale.

You should get it when it's 50% off if you don't mind theme park builders. Personally for me Sandbox mode is the bread and butter. You can even drive around the enclosures and take photographs of their behaviour

Jurassic World Evolution is fun yeah. I have it, and while I don't play it a whole lot, I'll play for a little bit every once in a while and always enjoy myself when I do.

I was an Isle Fan boy for a bit. I wanted a Dino Sim game and at the time Saurian was the only viable option which I don't even look at. I stuck with the Isle for a while longer but as anyone who spends enough time, you learn more than the game needs to include.

After the release of Evrima, I went and bought Path of Titan. My hopes are in that.

Unfortunately the visits for the Evrima update are now taken over by the other issue now at hand.

[Amici]

Personally play PoT and BoB, both I have a lot of fun in. PoT for the mmo elements such as quests. BoB for the dino growth and talent system, can min-max a dino.

Tried Evrima, got bored after growing a tenonto. Uninstalled and just going to wait for humans to come out.
