Frontier is lowkey kinda shitty nowadays
What im trying to say is that Frontier has become lazier and lazier with the years and ever since JWE1 i think its gone downhill. Now of coarse many of the things that have been added are amazing and im not saying theyre bad, specially in JWE2, with all the limits they added many good things but compared to how much love they showed in the early stages of the JWE franchise, i feel like they arent trying as hard anymore, only adding 1 out 20 suggestions from the community in free updates and only every pleasing us with cool designs or creatures when they know they are adding something else that will piss us off. Ever since JWE3 released the love has shown to disappear with the lack of communication, i mean there is some but not as much as in JWE and JWE2.
Oh and shortcuts are killing me, the missing skins from mutants, the countless bugs and issues that make life harder for park builders like the fact we still dont have a toggle of automatic rock placement on foliage wich would be usefull when trying to make steep forests that dont get replaced with rockes and a few trees and us having to manually place the foliage. And like its not like theyre not adding cool stuff its just theyre doing the bare minimum at times and only pleasing us so we dont complain about theyre other stuff. The combat is shitty and arguably worse than the previous games, complexity meter on console has become ignored and hasnt had any further updates and it pisses console players like me off. We used to have unique social, killing and hunting animations now not only are rigs reused for animals but theyre animations too, i mean look at Gobi, its just a prettier larger Nodosaurus. Nanshiungosaurus doesnt look like a therezinosauruid at all and is classified as part of the Deinocheirus family for whatever reason ingame.
My point is, there are so MANY things that should be in the 3rd installment of this franchise that for some reason arent present at all. If Frontier still kept the same love they had while developing JWE1 and the first half of JWE2, then maybe we'd be closer to the creative liberties and incredible behaviour and animals Prehistoric Kingdom have, with each update being free in there since theyre still in Alpha while being more advanced than the 3rd installment off a AAA game that should by default have all of those features and more.
I love this games, i wont leave ever since i also love the franchise but it pisses me off how much potential we are being robbed off because Frontier has become lazier, sure you can blame Universal but that isnt a reliable scapegoat.
