Don't get me wrong, i like the game. But this is just the same game for a 3rd time, with less content somehow. It's also really funny that they act like they are doing everyone a huge favour by giving everyone a "free update every month" where they add dinosaurs to the game that the fanbase has already bought from the previous 2 games for free, like thankyou for not being scumbags and doing the decent thing by giving everyone dinosaurs they already bought once for free in the sequel to the game where they bought them origionally. ~ DIFFICULTY ~ 🔲 My 90 year old grandma could play it ✅ Easy 🔲 Normal 🔲 Hard ~ GRAPHICS ~ 🔲 Bad 🔲 Meh 🔲 Graphics dont matter in this game 🔲 Good ✅ Beautiful 🔲 Masterpiece ~ MUSIC ~ 🔲 Bad 🔲 Not special ✅ Good 🔲 Beautiful ~ STORY ~ 🔲 This game has no story 🔲 It's there for the people who want it ✅ Bland. 🔲 Well written 🔲 Epic story ~ PRICE ~ 🔲 Free 🔲 Underpriced 🔲 Good Price ✅ Could be cheaper 🔲 Overpriced 🔲 Complete waste of money ~ REQUIREMENTS ~ 🔲 You can run it on a calculator 🔲 Average ✅ High end 🔲 NASA computer ~ LENGTH ~ ✅ Short (2 - 15 hours) 🔲 Average (15-50 hours) 🔲 Long (50-90 hours) ~ FUN ~ 🔲 Hard to enjoy ✅ Repetitive (3rd game with exactly the same gameplay) 🔲 Actually pretty amusing 🔲 Absolute ride of your life ~ REPLAYABILITY~ 🔲 It's a one-time experience 🔲 Only for achievements ✅ Yes 🔲 Definitely 🔲 Infinitely replayable ~ WORTH BUYING ~ 🔲 No ✅ Wait for sale 🔲 Absolutely Final rating: 6.5/10
Love the game, but I have some pros and cons. Pros: - Breeding programs, generations of dino families. - Lots of assets to build. - Graphics are amazing. - More creative freedom. Cons: - List of dinos are repetitive to the other games. I thought this game was primarily focused on hybrids and it sucks we can't breed them. - Terrain builder preventing dinos from exploring their territory. I will make large enclosures with layers of terrain then smooth them out yet they can't reach areas unless its completely flat. - Comfort meter is janky so dinos get mad so easily even when I up their comfort meter in the genome traits. - Sometimes operational buildings will not do any tasks even when they are assigned to posts. - Campaign not as fun and complex as it was in Evo 2. Don't get me wrong, the game is great so far. I feel there are some things missing and need to be fixed. Its still a manageable game to play. I spend too much time terraforming. I wish the maps were a smidge bigger so I can get crazy with it. ALSO, what is with yall not adding bridges or stairs?
This comment is coming from someone who owns 2 on every system and loves dinosaurs with a passion! Plus i can't help but try to make a massive gated area with a style like arc where i add different dinos to see how they interact and survive! So seeing this game and the updates I'm truly exited to see how much further i can go with that with the addition of juveniles!! But the EULA leaves a sour taste in my mouth and I'm someone that usually blindly agrees to every single one. Posting this before agreeing to the EULA. I just sat at the decline or agree screen till then XD. However, after reading the agreement section 1.1 and 1.2. Basically in 1.1 if some plays this game on your device without your permission first you're breaching the EULA. Already a joke. But it gets more fun at 1.2 where if you agree to the EULA you agree to relinquish responsibility to the Devs for any links that lead to harmful or malicious things on your device! Why? well 1.2 says word for word " The Game and/or Online Features may contain links to other third party websites. Such websites are not controlled by Frontier, and we are not responsible for and do not endorse their content, privacy policy or data practices. Then why is it in your game!? Also, you have to absolutely love the addition of 2.1 "We grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive(so someone else has access as well), non-sub-licensable, REVOCABLE, limited license to Use the Game." in the EULA Revocable isn't all caps or any i did that for highlight and () for personal thoughts. Lets jump down some more to 3: License Restrictions. Now take this as you will but personally this makes me wonder if while logged into the game or if i agree to this their going to monitor my activity because truly how are they going to know or stop this? However 3. " To the maximum extent permitted by law, you shall not." 3.A "load the Game on to a network server for the purpose of distribution to one or more other device(s) on that network or to effect such distribution" This next one i find moronic and that the game has no real choice in 3.C "use cheats(in general), automation software, hacks, mods, or any unauthorized software designed to modify or defeat the purpose or experience of the Game or to disable or circumvent any security, anti-tamper or anti-cheat features included in the game." I wonder if the Dark Souls 3 Anti Cheat turn off works on this game??? 4.2 makes me laugh if you recall 1.2 "You may not infringe our intellectual property rights or those of any third party in relation to your Use of the Game or any Online Features." So what I'm reading is that the Devs will gladly protect third parties in affiliate. But you also have to agree to relinquish being able to blame them if said third parties give you a link to something malicious. 4.5 i don't disagree with i just find it ironic. So everyone in the world can collect information from you; but god forbid you do it to them! However 4.5 "You may not collect or harvest any information or data from the Game, the Online Features(understandable), or our systems(unfair), and may not attempt to decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Game or Online Features." Mind blowing thing! But what if like some for safety you have everything that goes on on your PC copied to a USB as in case of system crashes or power issues since not everyone can afford a UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply). With how this comes across this information is so readily available that it has to be pointed out so wouldn't that cause an immediate breach despite being a completely legal method to back up your system? 5.2 is a fun one on account of you spending either 50 to 100 dollars on the game or 40 to 80 on sale. However, 5.2 You Acknowledge and agree that." 5.2 A "the Contents are owned or licensed by Frontier, and that you may not rent, LEND, sub-license, exploit for profit or gain, copy, reproduce, modify, publicly display, publicly perform, create derivative works from(i hope you didn't plan on drawing your park or a dino from the game XD), adapt, distribute, make available, communicate to the public or otherwise exploit the Contents or any of part the Contents in any manner." 5.2 B "you have no rights(to have fun) in or to the Game or the Online Features other than the right to Use them strictly in accordance with the terms of this EULA." 5.2 C "You shall acquire no proprietary rights in past or stored gameplay, arrangements, Game progress, character or other achievements within the Game; and." 5.2 D "you have no rights to access the Game in source code form." Now like i said I'm not in the game yet I'm at the agree decline screen so this has me a little concerned about microtransactions outside of DLC since there's a mention of DLCs separately in the same sentence. However 6.1 "To Use the Game you are required to pay a fee.(hopefully that's just the initial purchase!) Some content such as DLC may be made available for purchase for an additional charge." If 5.2 didn't come off aggressive this ones is pretty much a threat. 6.2 "Failure to pay any fees or charges is a material breach of this EULA. We may amend the fees and payment terms at anytime in our sole discretion." pretty much their saying If You Do Something, We'll Do Something. This isn't even halfway through it but it's already like this! i can't imagine what the rest is like! Well that's for you to find out! or not. I think it's a lot smarter to not too and after reading, typing, and eating my 2 hours weren't up i would be refunding this game and spending it on something that respects it's users and won't try stealing my game in a couple years if everything isn't perfect and the Devs pockets aren't fat. Cough DungeonBorne cough. Also, last thing. But if anyone has doubts my comments will be on. But i will delete it if your argument lacks proof and/or evidence. This comment is primarily to inform with the slight addition of personal opinions clearly pointed out or sectioned with ().
