    Look no I thought it was great before I worked there. I think some Ubisoft games are bad too!

    I've made a party fight a t-rex analogue with plasma guns before

    Although the swordswoman tried to fight it in melee, so she took 3d20 damage and exploded

    damn it, why didn't you say "made them fight a dinosaur" so i could say "well yeah, i have a whip sword, so of course they exploded"

    Also, how is your critical failure thread going? i found it once and now it's lost in the ether.

    I'm thinking what needs to happen is a game like God Hand

    but all the enemies are dinosaurs.

    Might need something to mix it up a little bit. Dinosaurs, while awesome, all tend to follow the "Run straight forward and try to eat the guy" train of thought

    I don't grasp what's wrong about dinosaurs running straight for you when your only counter is to punch them to death.

    I could do that 500 times without it getting boring, probably!

    i wish there was a really hardcore dinosaur mod for minecraft. like, horrible monstrous dinosaurs everywhere. tiny ones quickly sneak up on ya, giant ones never die, flyers comin in at every angle, even the loch ness monster in lakes (thats prolly a dinosaur?). i just think it'd be fun to be legitimately afraid of the environment for a change, instead of 'oh, well, i have a stone sword now... and my health regenerates... so life is fine!'.

    A missed opportunity

    And it seems to be going okay so far! This time I don't have anyone insisting that they are a brain surgeon when they have 1 point of INT.

    The only parts of the King Kong game that were any good were the parts where you play as King Kong and that was less than 20% of the game.

    that's why the aliens are there. they're visually different, able to use human tactics, but isn't just shooting dudes.

    The only part that was bad was the part at the end in New York and you were King Kong in that part.

    basically my ideal dinosaur game would be a race of super intelligent dinos

    with advanced dino technology, a dino city, the hole nine yards

    That learn about and must stop the meteorite from hitting the earth and destroying it

    Basically the movie "Armageddon" but with an all dinosaur cast

    The ending would be the dino team realizing far too late in the game that the only thing they can do is make the impact meteor smaller, not stop it entirely - and it is going to hit their sweet dino city

    Earth is saved, but all dino civilization is lost

    Ah yes, I can't believe this wasn't the first thing that came to mind. The fact that he's invincible was appropriate.

    Which reminds me:

    Now I'm going to be thinking of any games that have dinosaurs as a boss.

    okay, so ideas i have thus far:

    Aliens fill int he space of human enemies. range of patterns and sizes. interesting alien weapons.

    Class based co-op got Trooper, sniper, medic, and other guy, maybe stealth guy? iunno. probably not, close combat guy maybe.

    Dinosaurs bulk of fights, traversing areas and what not dinosaurs are everywhere. hitting compounds full of aliens, fewer dinosaurs.

    Act 3 is in giant earth city where you get crazy air support powers and stuff, rest of the game is elite commando tactics, weakening alien forces.

    Performance in previous acts will affect act 3 (ei doing everything on alien planet the dino army is weaker, but more wide spread due to you taking longer kinda idea)

    Guns shooting everywhere. all the time.

    I need some people who know how to do these things, and i think we got a game.

    you guys have no idea how fucking crushed i was playing the 2008 Turok.

    The demo was awesome. it was hiding from dinosaurs, killing dinosaurs, running from dinosaurs.

    And then most the game was shooting dudes.

    I can shoot dudes in like, 90% of all video games.

    I can't fucking shoot dinosaurs in like 5% of them.

    I need some people who know how to do these things, and i think we got a game.

    also so player characters, each has two main weapons.

    An assault rifle that is somewhat similar between them, designed to offset their unique weapon. like the sniper has a carbine with full auto, the trooper has a burst fire full rifle, the exception is the close combat guy who is using a sub compact carbine which has super fast aiming cause this dude is dedicated to it. all have the same ammo count, and do about the same damage. I'm thinking ammo sharing should be a thing, it helps the sniper who might not be as useful this level hold his own, or maybe the close combat guy isn't doing well and burnign through ammo and the trooper is using his main gun a lot so he doesn't need it, stuff like that.

    the other gun is what makes them different. like the trooper guy would be using a medium machine gun for his other gun. okay range, high rage of fire, not very accurate, but in most situations better then the rifle. Sniper has of course, an anti material rifle, close combat guy gets a shotgun, and the medic i'm not sure. some kind of medic might work, but that limits the medic's combat effectiveness. Cause another idea i had was everyone then has an ability thing, like the sniper can use flares to call in support (fulfilling a scouting role), close combat guy get's like a powerful melee attack he can quickly use, medic gets healing power, and trooper has under barrel grenade launcher. or an under barrel flamethrower, that's be awesome.

    Flame throwers are awesome guys.

    the game should be like Just Cause 2, but instead of the island of Panau it's the island of Dinosaurs. Rico has his parachute, some guns, his grapple, and a motorcycle. The End.
