This game is frequently compared to OG for better or for worse, the graphics are a improvement but you may find this game not exactly having the same buildings.
A few like this guy havent played JPOG or just dont like it so has no idea how far ahead that game was for the time. The only thing good in the new one are the visuals and thats it!
JPOG already had so many things that this game is missing.
You mean like those cool limits on number of dinosaurs or number of visitors?
Maybe it was OK for the time, though I didn't think so. I threw it away.
A few like this guy - Not only a few, and not a guy
havent played JPOG - Bought it, played it - trashed it
just dont like it - understatement
no idea how far ahead that game was for the time - The Palm Pilot was ahead for its time too. But its time is long gone.
JPOG is gone. It's history. Get over it.
Theres so many things that people misunderstand about the game due to rose tinted nostalgia glasses that its just boring to see all the time.
The main difference between JPOG and JW:E is that JPOG focussed more on guest comfort and feedback than it did on dinosaurs.
JW:E focusses more on dinosaurs than on guests.
JPOG forces you to have a good park layout and to ensure all attractions are audienced well in order to generate money.
In JW:E you just dump stuff down and you make money but there is more work with the dinos.
Inbe4 herd mechanic; didnt exist at all. There was a mechanic aimed at herbivores that told them where their priority was in terms of movement, usually in the middle of the paddock near water, like a flag. Which meant that you had 20-30 herbivores crowding in the same location but....the rest of the paddock was empty.
As for pack hunting...only raptors had an animation where multiple stuck to the same target in attack, thats all.
I do have to say that JPOG ui was friendlier and that the email system worked a lot better than a simple announcement without any possible way to bring that back up once its passed.
My first game was Zork.
On a Commodore 128D
You were saying?
You were talking bad about the predecessor of this game and I responded that there are still people enjoying it.
So coming with some other oldschool game that doesn't relate in any way to JWE or JPOG is actually not a response that suits this case.
Your "response" was a picture.
If you are looking for a particular type of response, use words.
I responded to the "Old Timer" part of it. You know - words.
JPOG is not a predecessor of JWE, really. They are unrelated, at least according to interviews I have sesen with Frontier personnel. But whatever.
Got another picture?
Oh, and I didn't make any analogy.
Now I've over 70 hrs playtime in JWE so I guess I can say that I know both games pretty well.
And even if it is not an official predecessor, it is an unofficial one, simply as there are many similarities in those games.
The major difference is the graphic of course.
Even modded JPOG doesn't look nearly as good as JWE does and I play both in 4K on maximum settings.
Yeah, sorry about the picture. I've actually wrote my post into the artwork description.
But I shouldn't have believed into it being actually read. XD
You cant just write it off. JPOG does several things beyond this game despite being a 2003 game. The devs here seemed to have put more effort on eye candy than actual substance and people like you are falling for it :D

I still stick to my initial statement that both are very enjoyable games and I fully agree with Vidura that you just cannot declare JPOG as dead.
