>no game with science accurate dinos
*sigh*

okay

>>717018041 (OP)
That's not scientifically accurate though. T-Rex had feathers.

>>717018534
Still arguable. Paleontology is largely guesswork. Very educated guesswork, but until someone invents a fucking time machine it's the best method we have. Schizos think that's some sort of own when it's never been a secret that paleontologists are constantly getting new info, revising old info, cross-referencing specimens, etc. It's fundamentally how that shit works.

>>717019821
>Paleontology is largely guesswork
They found one of these creatures frozen and it was nearly 1:1 with early estimations of its appearance. Dinosaurs were probably not secretly giant cockatiels and hens.

>She still believes in the dinosaur hoax
Got any proof? A shred of it? A teeny tiny inkling of fact instead of a bunch of fake extrapolated plaster bones?

>>717020165
No, they weren't giant hens. That doesn't mean that they didn't have feathers as juveniles, or patchy feathers as adults. That's also a completely different species, friend.

>>717020279
You're also trying to tell us that a giant carrion-eating predator, one who probably had no predators itself, was covered in feathers.

>>717020440
>Covered in.
No, retard-kun.

>>717018534
There is no solid proof on T. rex having feathers, and so far the only skin found on the animal reveales it had scales. That doesn't discards it could have feathers on its body, and is a popular theory young individuals could have sported a feathered coat they would lose later on on their lives, but as far as we know, the king is featherless for the moment.

>>717020805

>until someone invents a fucking time machine it's the best method we have.
Time is an abstract concept created by carbon-based lifeforms to monitor their ongoing decay.
But in all seriousness:
Time travel wouldn't work. The Earth is moving at like thousands of miles per minute, around the sun, which in turn is rotating around the galaxy's center, which in turn is rotating around the center of the known universe. Time travel would spit you out exactly where you were in space-- literally, in space, millions of light-years from where the Earth is actually located at that time.
Unless it's magical time travel like in Doctor Who or fantasy shit.
But scientific time travel would involve floating in a DeLorean in outer space and quickly running out of oxygen.

Could Trex swim?

>>717018041 (OP)
T rex can't swim, no way this is a thing

>>717022234
Why do you say that?

>>717018534
The juveniles might have had fluff.

Feathers generally would be useless on something the size of a Trex, if not make them too warm. The concious is if they had anything, it was probably a thin coat of fur that adapts from the chick fluff.

>>717022234
What's stopping the T. rex from swimming?

>implying dinosaurs were real

>>717022001
You sound a little retarded, why would you invent a time machine that didn't also shift your location in space to account for movement?

he hasn't done his laps yet.

>>717022650
Let's be realistic. Even if time travel sent you back, trajectory of the known universe's galactic rotation would stump scientists until the end of our time. There also wouldn't be a way back to your specific timeline's present. Even the slightest change in a single molecule would create a divergence.

Why does the t-rex still get shrink wrapped?

>>717020165

Saying "dinosaur" is like saying "Mammal" today. I mean you have naked mole rats, giraffes and walruses. They all look vastly different.

Dinosaurs existed 4x longer than mammals, and all that time have been as, if not even more diverse. Some were giant "hens", and are probably the family that relate to todays birds, but there are multitudes of other groups in the Dinosaur Kingdom, and they all looked very different.

Humans don't really grasp time well, let alone millions of years.

>In "Prehistoric Planet", the segment featuring a male
Barbaridactylus pterosaur attempting to court a female by mimicking female coloration and behavior has been interpreted by some viewers as a representation of a "transgender dinosaur".
>While there's no official statement from the show's creators identifying this particular animal as transgender in the human sense, the segment highlights a fascinating biological phenomenon known as sexual mimicry, where males of certain species can mimic females to gain an advantage in mating. This strategy is observed in various animal species, including some birds, and serves different purposes, such as gaining access to breeding territories or avoiding male-male competition. In the context of the show, it showcases the diverse and sometimes surprising mating behaviors that may have existed in the prehistoric world.
>It's important to remember that applying human concepts of gender identity directly to prehistoric animals is a form of anthropomorphization and is not scientifically accurate. The behavior displayed by the Barbaridactylus is a complex biological strategy within its species, not an expression of gender identity as humans understand it.

A giant chicken is not going to survive in an environment full of komodo dragons and crocodiles. Any attempt to "akchyully" dinosaurs into having feathers, or some other deliberate attempt to make them less cool, will be moronic because anything that isn't another giant formidable lizard won't survive in an environment with formidable carnivorous lizards. Furthermore insisting a creature as enormous as a Tyrannosaurus would need feathers to thermoregulate is retarded, they aren't wooly mammoths in the ice age.

A torso designed to move up-and-down, but a fish like tail that prefers moving side-to-side. The conflicting movements would make swimming attempts awkward.

Yeah Time Travel would really be more multiversal travel, if that's a thing. You'd travel to a reality that accommodates your arrival (infinite universes, infinite possibilities) and anything you do in it. You would never be able to return to the home timeline. Another you maybe, but not you.

You fuckers massively overrate what reptiles are capable of. A similarly sized or larger bird/birdlike thing will absolutely destroy a reptile, just the way a mammal would too. Huge, 15 foot modern pythons literally lose to honey badgers which are much smaller than them.

I don't understand why people have so much trouble with the idea of proto-feather on dinosaur.
Birds exist, therefore they must have ancestors with feather all the way until it let them fly.
Feather didn't instantly appear fully formed for flight.
Birds don't share most of their anatomy with their various dinosaur family.
We know for fact that huge birds that don't fly are possible, and we already know back in time the ecosystem allowed much bigger creatures.

No doubt if argentinosaurus species somehow existed along mankind, we would have made them extinct for petty reasons.

>>717024072
People debate whether or not that one could fly, because the idea of something the size of a giraffe flying is silly.

But supposedly it could.

>>717024819
One thing is there's no reason for feathers to evolve on the larger dinos and in fact would probably be selected against because cooling down when you're huge is much harder and the world was hotter in general back then.
Feathers make more sense to have evolved on smaller dinos that eventually became birds

>>717024602
Most dragons weren't even depicted as lizards. They were normally just amalgamations of various "scary animals" they had in their area.

We put our core instincts into art, and for our fear of predators we made dragons so they could be used to tell stories to children. They were literally the big bad wolf of their time.

Chickens are vicious. Something I learnt recently is that fowl (chickens, ducks) are quite distinct and on a different branch than like 95% of the other birds, with a last common ancestor from about mid-cretaceous. There are about 50 current species from the ostrich/emu branch (which branched off even earlier), 500 fowls, but 10,000 of all the other bird species that all branched off at the end of Cretaceous.

Evolution don't give a shit about reasons. If large female dino have a fetish for feather, they'll choses FEATHER CHAD instead of virgin reptile. just remembered I had that pic
Or maybe feathered pattern were 0.1% more difficult to see coming by prey, so a dozen millions years of natural selection later you have feather and there's still no reason to shed them.

>on smaller dinos that eventually became birds
We have rather big flightless bird today, and we know of the extinctions events that killed all the huge species. And once you lose size, the only thing remaining is speed & flight.

So there's no reason to dismiss the possibility of big feathered dinosaur, hunting prey as would a wolf, except instead of fur, it has feathers

>>717026873
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biHQ-oBUCJ8

That can be very broad. We've had plenty of game involving dinosaurs, some of them even recent, the question is how much importance to give them, how much effort to put into them.

As games go, dino roles are limited to animals, it's not like they'll learn to open doors or something.
They are extinct and not from the sames period so you can't even use time travel in any easy way.
Putting them in competition with every other fictional and more original dragons you could imagine instead of T-rex n°986 half-feathered edition.

I really don't care if some dinosaurs have feathers and others have scales. It's a stupid, pointless argument.

>>717028418
Umm actually dinos conforming to what i thought was cool when i was 10 is really really important

>>717025561
No? The point is managing a big zoo.

>>717028175
There's so many scale imprints on so many parts of it's body that if it was feathered it probably just had an extremely light coat on it's back, but even then what i would actually expect is something that's barely noticeable like elephant hairs

Is there a single first person shooter game that lets you kill dinos in a single player story?

>>717028594
Yes, and if you don't have the stakes of "i better manage this zoo right or something will go wrong and the t-rex will fucking eat the guests" it's just boring
Everything going to shit and you having to damage control in the fastest and most efficient way is what made JPOG great and what JWE still lacks to this day

Yeah, that would make the most sense. Bro was just a huge bald guy. Which is looking more and more like a bit of an outlier for theropods, but shit happens. Elephants are an outlier for land based mammals after all.

Adding to that anon, in almost every language the word for mother is almost the same

>>717027756
Paleontologist disagree with you. New science led to reexaminate the evidence and so far the proto-feathers are the top of the science.
I don't know why you deny that, or even the possibility of big feathered dino just because you prefer the scaly ones.

We've got plenty of animals species who, as predator, don't need protection scale and are quite flashy.
Evolution doesn't follow a goal, if the species do fine despite being bright orange (because it make it easier for partner to meet) the species will keep going this way.

>>717024602
Every culture has vampires and werewolves/shapeshifting animals, do you want me to believe those exist as well?

>>717027797
I wonder if it can still fly like that.

>>717030424
NTA but most of the animals people point to in order to justify dinosaurs having incredibly garish colours and display structures are miniscule flying birds and the idea of a 10+ ton ambush predator like a tyrannosaur being comparable in any way to a bird of paradise is laughable
It's like if you used an anole to argue that crocodiles would be bright blue

>>717030203
Meanwhile animals as small as hippos need to shed their fur or they overheat.

Anyone else wish T Rex irl was as big as the quetz in that pic? This is one of those things I'm autistic about. Yeah I know that T Rex was bigger as it was 50x heavier than the pterosaur, but I'm talking about the height here. Just look at that creature. It's like 22 feet tall.

T Rex, on the other hand, you can touch its mouth if you stretch your arm upwards.

>>717030986
There's fragmentary t-rex fossils that are ridicolously big, also the reconstruction you posted is one of the smaller specimen

the isle has such retard-friendly balance, the herbivores are all 4~9 ton instant AOE death machines which even the largest carnivores (1.3 tons) have no hope against
let alone the smaller carnivores like raptors which are basically pure gimmick classes that can only kill small shit or brand-new players

>>717028861
>Dino Crisis
That's not what I would call an easy way, that's a convoluted plot even for time-travel.

>>717031274
Don't worry my man we just gotta wait another 6 months for them to pretend that t-rex is anywhere even near complete

>>717029129
I remain convinced that crows could be trained into deadly assassins.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpg3VvoIVfA

5'11 vs 6'0

I know dinofags are screechy about any depiction of theropods that isn't completely horizontal, but is it possible that a T Rex would have stood upright Charles knight style as a resting position? Modern day birds do it after all.

>>717031274
>dude let's add the fucking stegosaurus when the biggest carnivore in the game currently is just a carnotaurus, i'm sure a completely unkillable herbivore that nothing can fight against will be perfectly fine!
What the nigger were they thinking? they even did this bullshit AGAIN when they released triceratops without the t-rex or allosaurus to fucking counter it

Why can't they just look deep into the Earth in some ice cave and find a dino frozen in ice so they can see what it actually looked like and possibly clone it

>>717031489
Could a Rex rear up and bite the sauropod's neck?

>>717031601
They probably could if they tried. Their head is very large though so they wouldn't do it for long.

>>717031274
because they're balancing for the game that they think will be complete (presumably in like 30 years) and not for the game that it is currently
deinosuchus are supposed to be checked by spinosaurs and suchomimus so they don't make every single sip of water from a pond that isn't a mile inland and not connected to any rivers a threat of instant death, but guess which one they added years ahead of the others

>>717031601
Physically there's no reason to think it couldn't but it probably wasn't resting like that because of it's massive tail and the fact that it would've probably been more comfortable to just lay flat on the ground

>>717031614
>dude let's add the fucking stegosaurus when the biggest carnivore in the game currently is just a carnotaurus
not just that, but they implemented carnotaurus at the absolute minimum end of its weight estimate (1.3 tons)

meanwhile diabloceratops is 4 tons in The Isle when it was less than half that IRL

the lead developer Dondi is a furry herbivore roleplayer

>>717029623
>rent free
Also it's definitely true.
Just like this picture make the Hippo look friendly and smiley, but herbivorous species can be very territorial and defensive.

>>717031764
Deinosuchus is currently such a non issue it's genuinely harrowing, they absolutely raped it with the new map

I still struggle to picture a Trex sleeping.

I guess it sat and curled its head like any bird does but I still find it hard to picture without feathers.

>>717031867
they added a dinosaur which is so mechanically unfun that they had no choice but to basically remove it from the game by adding endless amounts of safe drinking spots

i mean who on the planet wants to grow a dinosaur for hours and then randomly die to a croc with no way to react to it or do anything

>>717031805
>the lead developer Dondi is a furry herbivore roleplayer
It genuinely could not be further from the truth, he is a complete and utter carnivore shill to the point that he originally didin't even want herbivores to be playable and only relented due to people asking, at one point he was playing t-rex (his favouritetest dinosaure ever and the reason as to why it's so fucking OP in the game) and got killed by a triceratops, mysteriously a few days later the triceratops got nerfed into the ground
The current balance direction is just baffling, it's like they've been prepping the game for t-rex but haven't fucking worked on it in over half a year

>>717031919
sleep wasn't invented yet back then

>>717031919
horses are a good example of an animal whose body plan is not ideal for sleeping
they basically just don't sleep a lot (4hrs per day) and also sleep standing up some of the time. if they lay down a lot it causes them injury

>>717031489

>>717030452
Yes anon we all know jews exist.

>>717032032
i think you quite literally hallucinated some of that, triceratops has not been nerfed for example. it does like 4.5k damage on crush and 1hits everything in the game (including the leaked version of rex)

>>717031973
I don't know, fearing for your life everytime you went for a drink was actually kinda fun, they should've just given you some signs of actually realising there was a crocodile there, like sublte trembling in the water or similiar as opposed to just nothing so that ambushing people is a matter of skill rather than just luck
>>717032191

Also dinosaurs are far, far too easy to tranq, the helicopter is overpowered as fuck

>>717032725
Just like it would be in the real world then. In any case I bet there's a mod out there that solves all of those issues you have.

>>717032191
Probably gonna sound like an Isle shill but the t-rex they leaked is unfinished and balance isn't really set in stone for it, even the ceratosaurus which is borderline satanic nowadays was complete and utter dogshit when it was first being tested
I guarantee you they will simply not let it get bodied easily when it releases because it's supposed to be the big hook to get new sales for the game

Jpog actually did it right, it had extremely low fuel without costly upgrades and if you wanted to get consistent results you had to jump in the driver's seat and shoot that cunt yourself

>>717030661
No one is arguing feathered t-rex must be flashier than an ostrich, but we do have large mammal with bright colors. Even with herbivores that should prefer discretion. Plus there can be big color difference between males and females.
We did find gigantic skeleton with feather attachment >>717025357

At once you reach a certain size, you don't care about stealth, anything with eyes & neuron will recognize you no matter how well you hide, and natural selection can favor a predator that scare smaller predator away from his path.

When they reintroduced wolves at Yellowstone they discovered the entire ecosystem changed, smaller predators were kept in check, big preys stopped eating everything out of fear of straying away...etc

>>717018041 (OP)
I don't care about scientific or historical accuracy. Just let me play out my fantasy of being a primordial dino-god that fights other giant monsters for dominance of a post-apocalyptic Earth and eats their tribes of neo-caveman worshippers.

>>717032585
Based, i still remember the first time i saw a t-rex skeleton and being absolutely floored by it, you genuinely don't get a proper idea of just how fucking big that thing is until you see it in person

There's another great ape that far far more dangerous. Frankly the only way to protect the ecosystem would be kill them all.

>The largest sloths, in the genus Megatherium, were about the size of Asian bull elephants and weighed roughly 8,000 pounds. “They looked like grizzly bears but five times larger,” said Rachel Narducci, collection manager of vertebrate paleontology at the Florida Museum of Natural History.

True. I forgot about that.

>>717033150
>At once you reach a certain size, you don't care about stealth
Normally yes but tyrannosaurs literally had special adaptation to be stealthy like how their soles were padded to make less noise when walking, them being ambush predators and stealthy to some degree isn't really up for debate especially since they couldn't run for long either way

>this thing literally helped shape the avocado into what it is today

>>717033957
quadroped sauropods being supposedly up to maybe 150+ tons (and definitely at least 80 tons) means 10-ton bipeds aren't anywhere near the theoretical limit

>>717033991
The fact that they don't immediatley turn to the light being flashed right in their eyes is silly

>>717034082
Yeah, they're quadrupeds which means they can support far more weight than something that only has two legs to work on, it's not really comparable

wtf where are the feathers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borealopelta

Has anyone here seen a Tyrannosaurus skelly up close? Are they as big as they seem in the movies. Like they're supposed to 20 feet tall, 40 feet long and weigh 10 tons, which is like twice the size of an elephant.

>>717032191
>>717032417
Sorry to say that but complain about balance is a never ending war.
Especially when the two fighters are totally different, have fundamentally different goals and video game mechanics remove a lot of the skills needed to fight a creature your own size.
We don't even have real observation to know which creature was stronger.

And let's not even talk about herds or packs.
It's common for predator to fails and give up instead of risking deadly injuries.

>>717033350
>humanoid dinosaurs
The closest thing to humanoid fighters Primal Rage had were the giant apes Blizzard and Chaos, and they played more like King Kong with their move-sets.

I didn't mind their inclusion. The whole game felt like a loving homage to the stop-motion monsters of 50's and 60's movies, which also had apes and dinosaur beasts fighting one another.

I just pray that if the franchise gets a revival that they actually flesh out the gameplay to take advantage of all the fighters being large monsters instead of hyper-fast, human sized fighters. There's some interesting mechanics that better reflects the scale and carnage of two massive dino-gods fighting.

>>717034994
The unreleased sequel planned to have the dinosaurs transform into humans
It's like they didin't understand the entire appeal of the game

>Megalodon had a significantly stronger bite force compared to T-Rex. Estimates suggest Megalodon's bite force reached 40,000 PSI, while T-Rex's bite was around 12,800 PSI.

>>717035328
BTW any estimate of megalodon's biteforce is complete and utter bullshit because nothing of it has ever been found besides teeth and a spine

>>717035454
Then the same can be said of T-Rex, you retarded fanboy.

>>717035516
T-rex is one of the most well studied dinosaurs in existence and they have fossils of it's entire head and where it's jaw muscles would be attached so no, it's not even remotely comparable
Until they actually find a megalodon head (probably never) there is never going to be a proper bite force estimate

>>717033740
>Normally yes but tyrannosaurs literally had special adaptation
We have no idea what is normal or how they hunted.
Plenty of "sneaky mammals predators" are seen by their prey and still get to eat because the herd care less about starting a stampede than knowing they aren't the one getting eaten this time.

It's fairly possible the Rex hunted by being on average faster than prey who DIDN'T have average speed high enough to make a trot uneconomical for Rex. The equivalent of endurance hunting at a big size.

That's what I found in a 2022 articles
https://today.umd.edu/t-rexs-fancy-footwork-owed-to-special-ligaments-study-finds
And the earlier mention of "stealth I've found are about vibration in the ground, which could be silly if there's absolutely no way to miss such big predator.

I saw a few interviewers with the lead designers behind Primal Rage I and II. The reason they did the whole "dino-gods transform into giant humans" was because enough of the playtesters, fans, and company executives thought the controls and characters were too off-putting for gamers that had become used to rosters that had humans and human-sized fighters. So there solution to please all sides was to come up with some weird backstory about the dino-gods' human avatars absorbing their powers to fight in their place while also having the ability to morph back and forth between them.

I liked that they were trying to flesh out the human tribes that worshipped these gods, but making them stand-ins for the actual gods was a stupid move. Also didn't help that the human models looked like cheap plastic action figures compared with the highly detailed stop-motion rigs for the gods themselves. For a revival, I could see the avatars still being used, but more as emissaries for their respective gods that handle the small-scale human matters and battles while the giant monsters fight things out.

>>717036602
Dino Crisis remake?

>>717034852
That's probably why the devs didn't want to add them.

But your imagination is limited.
You can make herbivore interesting with more than fighting carnivore. The difficulty is that it require to add out of the box mechanics that are both complicated to make and untested.
The context also worsens a problem inherent to all multiplayer games. You must absolutely add NPC or every fight the players have will be at best a 50% chance, and more likely the player intellect will abuse the slightest imbalance to make it a one-sided 80% chance.

Games like that cannot be balanced as team-match.

>>717036237
Even I believed that dinosaurs and cavemen coexisted back when I was a kid. Tb f I had a narrower view of the scale of time back then. We people told me that dinosaurs lived a long time ago, I was like "a long time? So like a 100 years ago?"

>>717036370
The Triassic Kraken theory is something made because back in the day giant Triassic ichtyhosaurs were thought to prey primarily on soft-bodied creatures, so a giant squid who served as prey for those whale-sized ichthyosaurs was proposed (in a half-serious way).
Now we know those ichthyosaurs were capable predators of other marine reptiles, so the theory doesn't seems that plausible nowadays.

Especially when you need more than a mook who will die in 10s, a civilian who just run away in this flat city, and you need to make coordinated herds.

Yes, maybe The Isle tried something too hard for them, but I'm still very glad they try.

>>717038123
Dead internet theory

>>717038427
h-he is got a 'nife!

>>717037701
Funny how they tried to basically make up a prey animal for this thing when trying to respond to the question of "what did it eat?" when the answer was just "everything around it"

>>717034028
Kind of, wild avocados are still basically inedible. Theyve been bred to have plenty of flesh on them

>>717038394
>maybe The Isle tried something too hard for them, but I'm still very glad they try.
Nigger they're the most basic bots in existence, they do nothing besides walk around and either move towards the player or away from it depending on your size

>>717038020
From what I heard the squids definitely fight back.

>>717034769
Umm every and all dinosaurs were the same you fucking chud. Thats why their called dinosaurs

>>717038427
>Peace was never an option

>>717038624
Hardly, they just scratch them up but there's really not much they can do when the whale is much bigger, has teeth, can stun them from afar and might as well be armoured with how it's blubber and skin is

>>717034769
1-Thats not a sauropod. 2-Ornithyschians also had filaments/feathers. So its most likely an ancestral trait, meaning maybe all dinos had the genes for feathers. But gene expression would obviously end up varying.

>>717033667
Good ol Megatherium will always have a place in my heart.

>>717024819
Bats can fly without feather.

Ark always gives dinos some kind of insane ability, like the dimetrodon finned guy acting like a living air conditioner.
The giant croc will always be my favorite but the giant bug that acts like a chinook helicopter always has me wondering how huge bugs got during that one period.

>>717038756
Sperm whales are freaking OP. It was the one whale whalers feared for a reason.

>>717037701
Never understood why it took them so long to accept the fact that ichthyosaurs are basically just reptile sharks that can eat whatever the hell they want as opposed to just squid eaters

>>717025862
Says the animal that shares a species with Indians.

>>717026685
He's just like me after I finished school.

>>717039109
Sharks? More like freaking reptilian sperm whales, which is even more terrifying.

>>717018041 (OP)
I am a scientist and I have examined all of the evidence and can conclude that dinosaur females evolved to pleasure human male penises
Thank you for your time

>>717039593
Love mosasaurs. They're basically whale monitor lizards.

>>717039730
when will they have proper puffy cloacas

>>717020165
What an awe-inspiring specimen.

>>717018534
OP's one does tho, you can clearly see them in the episode, the younglings even more so.

>>717039730
what is this from + any more documentaries/whatever like this?

>>717031601
my intuition says birds with flight have evolved to be lighter and cube law says normal theropod heads would be too heavy to rest in that position

>>717027225
I hate women of all species so much it's unreal.

>>717040070
Prehistoric Planet
>any more documentaries/whatever like this?
None of this level currently besides the ice age sequel that they're making right now

>>717039851

I wish there was something like The Isle, but more polished and balanced. I enjoy being a dino and growing with my fren. I can never get any combat experience to get good because we almost always get raped by some faggot group mix of herbis and carnos or cannibal herbis

>>717039593
How os this rven possible

dinosaurs arent real

>>717040423
>I wish there was something like The Isle, but more polished and balanced.
An entire genre of games was born out of people craving this exact thing and it will probably never be a thing unfortunately

>>717039435
Kys furfags

Im just going to say it. The new walking with dinosaurs was pretty dog shit. It peiced in random human scenes that totaled to more than the actual dino scenes and what we got from the dinos was pretty unscientific, like they were trying to tell a story unstead of make a documentary

>>717040589
All of this shit is unfathomable to me

>>717018041 (OP)
>start work on game with scientifically accurate dinos
>science changes it's mind before you can finish, have to start over
>repeat forever

>>717040423
it's always tenontosaurus or triceratops, the tryhards only ever seem to pick those

>>717040689
I have genuinely not seen even a single person defend it, that shit is a genuine parasite no name documentary that leeches off the WWD name in order to scrounge up any amount of recognition because they knew nobody would care otherwise, it's also animated like dogshit

>>717040741
Just take a lizard and replace legs with flippers.

>>717018534

Why didnt dinosaurs collapse under their own weight?

>>717040423
I'm not exactly good at the game but if you want some general tips you should try to always be cautious in fights and prioritize not wasting your stamina
Also with the bigger dinosaurs drifting is way better than turning in place

>>717022275
>can't put on water wings
>can't hold onto the float
How are they gonna learn?

>>717040908
Why don't elephants and rhinos

>>717040883
Yeah but… so fucking huge it makes my brain hurt. I saw a whale once irl and it just fucks with my head.
Also badass iguana.

>>717040396
I love you can see the komodo dragon inspiration on the mosasaur head.

>>717040908
Relatively lightweight bones that were also incredibly sturdy and filled with airsacs that help course oxygen through their body

>>717040585
That's not a furry retard
He's a scientist, he wouldn't just make something like that up

>>717041057
It's pretty much the closest thing there is to a mosasaurus today, they swim fairly often

>>717040959
Anon... they drink water breathing potions. This is pretty well known by now

>>717018534
>T-Rex had feathers

>>717041125
spooky

>>717041212
how long can they stay underwater? half an hour?

>>717041125
Sounds about right

>>717041315
Jewgle says about 15 minutes
They mostly swim to hop from island to island

>>717040804
The other day it was a pack of like 10 ceras and 15 omnis roaming around as a murder blob
>>717040956
How do you drift?

>>717041159
See>>717041282

>>717041136
interesting, what made them so sturdy despite the airsacs inside?

>>717024072
>Oh fu...

>>717040908
Ask your mom how she does it.

>>717041426
neat

There's always a bigger fish...

>>717024283
It's all about demoralization.

>>717041365
How come nobody gave a single fuck and let him walk up there

>>717041447
You trust science when it tells you dinosaurs are real, but suddenly it's unbelievably when an amount of them have feathers and/or were built for human men?

>>717041618
>walks into wrong neighborhood
>yells at everyone
>gets stepped on
>fukkin dies
what did he mean by this

>>717041453
Hollow bones aren't actually hollow nor are they as fragile as people say, they have a honeycomb-esque structure that reinforces them from the inside
The reason people think they break easily is because they only go off the ones from smaller birds, something like an ostrich bone is incredibly sturdy

>>717041365
Still mad they half-assed the canyon sauropod hunt for another Velocirraptor hunt scene.

>>717041628
You wanna be the one that confronts him and gets bitten?

>>717041618
Mapusaurusbros... We got too cocky.

>>717041628
same thing happens in african watering holes all the time
do you wanna be the one that charges him? its not like they could go 'ayo lets fuk up dat theropod boy on three'

>>717041437
Just suddenly change direction with WASD while sprinting and hold the key
For example you can turn on a dime by running forward with W and suddenly hitting S, for something fat and heavy like a triceratops it's the best way to turn behind you

>>717041790
Damn they pwned the shit out of him. Fucking gankers

>>717026230
The madness comes from the sea....

>>717042051

>>717041628
Even gazelles tolerate lions being in the same area as them while they drink as long as they don't get too close

>>717042142
An old PBS documentary called The Dinosaurs.

>>717042247
thx

>>717040423
If you want to just avoid the bullshit altogether just play herrerasaurus, easily the safest dinosaur and mixpack faggots can't touch you if you just climb on a tree

>>717035643
Aren't sharks almost entirely cartilage?

>>717043162
Yup. They only part thats bone is the teeth, which is why we will never find a full skull of one

>>717037254
>For a revival, I could see the avatars still being used, but more as emissaries for their respective gods that handle the small-scale human matters
That sounds like shit. One of Primal Rage's central themes was mankind was doomed, they were just vermin who scurried around the heels of monstrosities who were gods in comparison. The closest thing to a "good guy" god was the God of Hunger who ate humans and didn't give a fuck about them.

>>717041242
You have any idea how long it takes to level alchemy when you only have dinky nub arms to stir a cauldron?

>>717043162
Yes, that's the problem

>>717043410
Pretty much, if they bring the game back they should hone all in on the post apoc conan the barbarian with dinosars setting, maybe even have the humans speak exclusively gibberish because as a dinosaur/monster deity you can't understand them nor even care to in the first place

You guys gotta rec me some dino games

>>717044850
monhun is still probably a documentary somehow

>>717038123
It's either bots or christcucks who lost the "erm dinosaurs were planted by satan" war and got laughed at.
The new game for any that are the least bit scientific literate is to say okay dinosaurs were real, but they were like in muh childhood jurassic park sloppa. Which makes them trigger against any mention of feathers and anger at distinguishing therapods sauropods, etc. instead of just saying dinosaurs.

Man I wouldn't let my cat near my face
How the hell do you do that without fearing its suddenly gonna freak the fuck out and blind you

>>717046231
Sheer luck/stupidity
Sometimes people think they're fucking Ace Ventura cause a wild/dangerous animal tolerates them and they start thinking they have a connection with it and treat it like it's a dog until it inevitably ends badly one day

>>717034649
Yeah, I've seen Sue at the Field Museum in Chicago. It's fucking massive

>>717033667
How did herbivores get this big? no way leaves could be stacking in protein

>>717046861
They ate a shit ton of fruit, also leaves
In general giant sloths were absolutely insane, they created entire cave systems that can still be found to this day just by digging burrows to sleep in.

Plants can't run away from you, so you just keep eating.

Dinosaur games fucking suck, THERE. I've said it.

>>717047483

The masses are still desperate for a game like The Isle but not shitty
