This game or the isle and why

[HypeR]

Can u help me . I have done some research but there is no comparison clearly just one topic .thanks for replies

I've played both and I much prefer this game. The Isle has better graphics, but that's about all it has, unfortunately. I know they're redoing the game in a significant way, but who knows how many months/years that is from release, so I have to ignore that hypothetical update until it's released. Wishes ain't fishes.

BoB has a greater variety of creatures, including flying and aquatic dinosaurs. Isle only has land animals. BoB has a talent system for customizing/upgrading your dinosaur, the Isle doesn't have anything but growth. BoB has comfort, cover from weather, tides/flooding, tornadoes and other weather effects. The Isle doesn't have any of that. BoB has creature mating, laying eggs/giving birth to live young, those babies inheriting traits/appearance from their parents. Again, The Isle doesn't have that at all. BoB has maps with multiple interesting biomes, like desert areas, jungle, forest, and a mountain. The Isle is basically just a forest with some forest-y hills.

More importantly though, BoB gets updated every couple months. The Isle hasn't been updated since April 2019 -- almost a full year of nothing. And it's been released for 5 years already! BoB was released in 2018 and it already has far more features than The Isle does.

I am new to both games, but it pretty quickly became apparent to me that The Isle is in big trouble. BoB is hardly perfect, but I think its pace of development and direction is more reassuring. While The Isle having humans to kill/play as sounds fun, I hate to imagine how many years it'll be before they get to that point.

Having to rebuild the whole game will cause such a gap between updates. So it wont be years until the mercs are added...by the end of 21 would be my guess.

But you're completely right about the comparisons.

The only things I would add to the above is that A) the growth system in this game is superior. Being able to continue growing beyond 1.0 is a great reward for being able to stay alive longer. You can become unusually big and powerful for your species. B) The customization is far better in this game than in frankly any dino game I've seen, with a wide variety of gorgeous skins to choose from and modify to taste. And as was mentioned in the above posts, the talent tree adds a whole extra dimension so that two adult rexes for instance may not necessarily be evenly matched. C) The inclusion of aquatics/flyers is also a huge advantage over The Isle, along with D) the active weather system. And E) Megalosaurus. I just love that species; so happy to see it included.

As stated above The Isle has prettier graphics, but the graphics in this game are just fine. I've heard people criticize the models, but they look just fine to me. The only thing I would tweak is maybe a little more detail around the head and neck of the icthy. Now, The Isle has AI. That's its big advantage in my book. It gives you something to do on an empty server, and since the times I have available for playing are outside peak hours, finding a server that's both available and active when I am can be tough, so having AI to hunt would greatly improve this game for me.

Still better than The Isle as is, though.

The game was released in 2015. If they're rebuilding the whole game, I don't find it hyperbolic to speculate the process of remaking will also take quite a long time, i.e. years. Either way I don't put much stock in future plans, especially for a game with such glacial development as-is. Things change, companies go under, etc.. They don't even have a speculative release date on the redo as far as I know, which means it doesn't do the OP much good to factor it in. Pinning hopes on future development is always a road to disappointment. BoB is more fun right now.

The speculative release date, as of December 2019, was February 2020. Well, we can see how well that worked out.

Not entirely correct there, Isle does in fact have a nesting system. Though it's a lot simpler indeed.

My scrounging on their forum indicated that this was mostly an off-the-cuff remark someone close to or on the dev team made re: Valentine's Day, but which was never really intended as an official release date. I may be mistaken, but that was my impression.

But whatever the case, yeah, as you say, didn't work out if so, so not a great sign even if it is true.

I have over 1.2k hours in isle and it simply got boring for me. Don't get me wrong, isle is fun, but very repetitive. I prefer this game over isle. Maybe its just because I am still new to beasts and its all a new good feeling, but I am not sure. I will say one thing tho, Isle is WAY easier than Bob.

BoB has a lot more going for it mechanic wise.

i also personally find it a much friendlier community and development team, who go out of their way to not respond to the Isle's more angry, combative community

mechanic wise, it has:

- dynamic weather that is a hazard to your dino's health, adding a challenge
- faster growth than the isle
- a talent tree to allow customizable gameplay (want to be a aquatic that lives on land? you can do that. might not go well for you, but you CAN do it )
- fish ai
- dynamic tides that rise and fall over time
- playable aquatics
- playable flyers
- playable sauropods
- semi-aquatic life style for some of the animals
- comfort system that adds a good dynamic to growing your dino (high comfort = faster growth, low comfort = slower growth and damage if low enough)
- complex nesting system with inherited traits and skin colors from your parents
- able to pick up babies / eggs
- able to pick up and carry meat

the isle...has pretty graphics and models. that's about it. it has a few barebone mechanics, but nothing that enhances gameplay much

If your connection is cut, there is a chance that your dino will still be in the game and possibly get killed. I heard of a present bug where disconnections like that can basically screw over your dino. Try to have a secure connection when playing, especially on very high pop servers.

The isle is as a game, without considering the community a pretty barebone game. There is barely any content if you think about. The game looks and animations are very well done though.

That's pretty much the only thing i dislike about this game, some animation are pretty bad. Even though this game can be pretty buggy at times it's still way more fun thanks to all the mechanics listed above.

Also keep in mind The Isle has been in development for like 5 years now and it's still a walking simulator.

PLAY THE ISLE.

Every server on this game COPIES AND PASTE The isle rules anyways....which makes this game unbearable. which is too bad cuz this game is better mechanics wise. BUT.....since everyones too lazy to make Unique Rules for this game....it suffers ALOT. FOr that reason, to avoid frustration and a waste of time...just play the isle. THe isle gets old fast but at least the rules were made specifically for the type of game it is. Beast of Bermuda has NO identity when it comes to the rule sets and does not play well under those circumstances

BOB compared to isle is like comparing zilla and godzilla. The isle is just better and is being made by a team that doesnt really care about money, they care about making the best dinosaur game and it shows. it makes arcotek, bob, pretty much every other open world survival dino game, look like a knock off (because most of them are in fact knock offs made by old isle players and devs that didnt like dondis dream) and all the "mechanics" BoB has now that the isle "doesnt" are mechanics that have existed then were removed or have been planned since release and just copied and added very quickly. with the recode will come all of these things and they will be better balanced than BoB.
also lets not pretend they have different communities... this is the dino nerd game community, its been the same toxic cesspool since primal carnage, stop trying to throw shade at other games because of their community. any game with dinosaurs is going to have a community similar to this.
