10 UNDERRATED SPECIES YOU NEED IN YOUR PARKS - JWE2 Tips and Tricks

I love Megalosaurus! It’s literally a *BIG* deal since it was the first dinosaur to be discovered!

[@Darthspino6666]

I’ve been using it for a long time since I got it I’ve been using it every park

[@genus.species3362]

I definitely agree with much of this list. When i play JWE and JWE 2, i prefer using obscure and less popular animals. Because that's what i take interest in. I know it's Jurassic Park / World. But i'm personally burnt out on T. rex, giga and Spino being the big 3 star dinosaurs lol. Unless of course i'm trying to depict certain fossil formations where more famous dinosaurs are required. Which i also do quite a bit of. If i want to have something like T. rex, i gotta have a whole section of map dedicated to Hell Creek lol. I also like using two different skins to depict sexual dimorphism

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

I also use different skins for females and males.

[@joshuaW5621]

The ornithominid group has been facing a pretty discriminative reputation from the public, similar to hadrosaurids. I’m very glad they’ve been getting the justice they need lately. I really like how you’ve convinced me to see how the Monolophosaurus’s crest could look a little attractive if you put your mind to it. Not every carnivore has to look scary and if Prehistoric Planet taught us anything, Carnotaurus can amuse us with its funny dance. And Megalosaurus in general deserves more recognition seeing it was the first dinosaur discovered. I don’t remember seeing it appear much in media besides Earl Sinclair being one.

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

Agree with all your points dude ^^ And when it comes to skins i have spent a lot of time exploring the best combinations for certain enviroments, sexual dimorphism and the like, so im glad i was able to give you some ideas.

[@tenebris13]

I have always loved the Metri's skins, and I'm glad it's visual shown was recognised here.

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

Some of the best skins in the game in my opinion

[@uoyalz]

I definitely do like using Metricanthrosaurus, mainly cuz I also like Allosaurus. As a result, I usually pair those 2 together in the same enclosure.

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

Nice

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

See Maisasaura is one animal i think i would remove

[@karrma8955]

Same

[@TribbleArtCreations]

Definitely agree with Metriocanthasaurus and Hyaungasaurus. Both were some of my favorites in the original. I definitely still use Metri in current parks, and surprisingly, Struthis as well. Feel bad I've abandoned my Hyang a lot more.....I know why i mostly ignore Chasmasaurus, I feel is overall small and underwhelming. Triceratops has been one of my favorites forever, and usually fainds it's way into my park, occasionally replace it with a Pentaceratops or maybe another larger ceratopsid. Definitely made good points on why some of these should be used more often in different parks.

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

Thank you I'll be honest i rarely use Triceratops in my parks as i really dont like Frontiers patterns and colours on it.

[@TribbleArtCreations]

@@tri-clawgaming7682 , I do wish it had better patterns

[@arkady116]

When the first game came out I didnt care for the struthiomimus at first I thought it was kinda boring, the more I played the game and this game the more I liked it and honestly I think its a cute dinosaur and its my favourite of its family. Brachiosaurus and Albertosaurus will always be my favourites though.

[@flightlesslord2688]

Struthi is one of my favourite species to use. The best looking Ornithomimid by far in my opinion, has great sounds, patterns and animation too. I just like em. I will say, Barbaridactylus looks amazing in some mods that give it a more Prehistoric Planet-esque crest. Chasmosaurus I actually love too because its so little! Its one of my go to petting zoo animals.

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

Im glad to see im not the only one who likes these animals.

[@siats142]

The problems with Megalosaurus is that it doesn't look like a Megalosaurid at all, Megalosaurids have long, narrow, recatangular shaped from side skull, The Megalosaurus in game doesn't have any of this caracterisitcs, his head is instead very wide. The body has this hanging bride shape where the hips are tall and the tail and body get droopy when getting far from the hips, which looks very weird, it should have this beautiful straight line body shape that all carnivores should have. Plus, it doesn't have any unique animations, for a DLC animal that's a crime. The body rig and animations come from the Allosaurus, which look good on the Allosaurus because they are supposed to be Allosaurus body rig and animations. The hunting animations are the same ones that Baryonix and Cryolophosaurus have, and the social animation is the same as the Baryonix one but cutting out the bittingin the tail st the beginning. That's so cheap. I do think personally that it has grreat skins, but many of them look so unnatural, the weird cocodrilian scales on its wide back do not help. Plus, fore me, adding spikes to it's head it's just boring qnd uninspiring. Overall, we land with an animal that doesn't look what it's supposed to, looks unnatural, deformed, and doesn't value the cost of the DLC it comes with. (Also, the animal is 9 meters long in the game, too big for a 6 meter carnivore, it should be the size of the Concavenator)

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

Well the accuracy of the dinosaur is kinda completely irelevent because this is a Jurassic game and most of the animals in it are not represented accurately to real life. In regards to what you said about animations, well no its not good enough that there are copy pasted animations but again a huge number of animals have the same copy pasted animations in the game so again, not just a megalo issue.

[@siats142]

@@tri-clawgaming7682 If you, Frontier, are gonna sale me Megalosaurus as a DLC species, I would like to expect Megalosaurus. What's the point of bringing actual animal to a dinosaur park game if the animals don't look like they are suppose to? Frontier seems to go place to place with this. I cant tell if every single animal Frontier has designed is 100% accurate, but many of them since the first game were designed to look like the real animals. Sauropelta, Nodosaurus, Pentaceratops, Styracosaurus, Torosaurus, Chasmosaurus, Proceratosaurus, Herrerasaurus, Coelophysis, Troodon, Edmontosaurus, Muttaburrasaurus, Maiasaura, Yutyrannus, Deinocheirus, Sinosauropteryx, Kronosaurus, Styxosaurus, Attemborosaurus, Dsungaripterus, Geostembergia, Jeholopterus, Shonisaurus, Archelon, Dunkleosteus, Megalodon, Giganotosaurus, Gigantoraptor, Utahraptor, Concavenator, Chunkingosaurus, Mamenchisaurus, Allosaurus, Majungasaurus. They were all design in mind to look like the real animals, they still have unaccurate caracteristics, some more than others, but at first glance you say "that's the real animal". Megalosaurus doesn't give Megalosaurid at all, looks like if you ask a 7 year old to draw a dinosaur and they bring this. On the other hand, the repeated animations are dissapointing issue. But this is a Payed animal, that brings nothing new at all. At least, Cryolophosaurus, Qianzhousaurus and Coelophysis brought some unique animations to their species when the game came out in 2021. Megalosaurus dissapoints in every level

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

I am glad someone respects the most important dinosaur ^^

[@Jurassiccanonking]

I agree that almost all of these and I try to use most of them. ( Metricanthrosaurus is my favorite medium carnivore. I also love Tylosaurus and Huayangosaurud. Barbardacrlus is my favorite Pterosaur in the game.

[@XMfranchiseStudios]

From Ceratopsians I use Chasmo the most often because of its cool as hell vapourwave type skin that I got

[@2Siders]

Unfortunately Nigersaurus’ appeal means absolutely nothing, in fact, when we divide it by its high cost the appeal is one of the worst in the entire game, the only sauropod being worse is amargasaurus. At least, Nigersaurus is one of the most SPACE effective animals, if not COST effective.

[@2Siders]

The Barbarydactilus is one of the best pterosaurs though. Similar to the Quetzal for appeal per cost, but a much cheaper investment divided across multiple Barbarydactiluses

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

This video is mostly aimed at Sandbox players, the rating element is only there as a minor part since i dont play challenge mode

[@karrma8955]

I love Maiasaura and tend to always have it in the big herbivore enclosures with sauropods like apatosaurus and diplodocus

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

I think its probably my most disliked animal

[@benshep9254]

I love using metriocanthasaurus cause in jwe1 the second island it was my fave dino and when it died I left its enclosure empty

[@dr.archaeopteryx5512]

I usually tend to prefer obscurer Frontier designed animals over the movie animals, but god, Frontier really made a mistake when spamming near identical Ceratopsians, Ankylosaurs and Stegosaurs, not giving most of them all that noteworthy skins, and even having all of them be the same friggin size in their debut game; and it's no wonder we only received two more members of those groups in JWE2 DLCs

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

Agreed there are some serious issues with the animals that they picked. Most could have been saved with nice skins, or adding Lux skins or even adding some unique interesting behaviours...but no...we end up with copy paste animals...

[@dr.archaeopteryx5512]

@@tri-clawgaming7682 It annoys me how the animals don't really like, play, or use shelters, or do much of anything other than social, fighting and eating animations. That would have been a nice way to add some diversity to at least some of the myriad of same-y looking animals. But that ship has definitely sailed for the first game, and probably the second one by now as well

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

@@dr.archaeopteryx5512 Indeed, the lack of animation or behaviour is surprising considering games like Planet zoo

@@tri-clawgaming7682 I would love to have psittcosaurus and microceratus as well

[@50calM82A1]

I use Elasmosaurus often, using the Mangrove + Papurana pattern, somewhat reminding of the ZT1 Nessie. Or Qilian + blank for an "albino". The Tylosaurus is alright too. One I stay off from would be the Liopleurodon, it looks too much like an ugly croc than any marine reptile.

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

True but i do love the lio for that very reason. It looks so aggressive and angry heh

[@aldomazza3241]

I actually use more underrated dinos than dinos like trex mosasaurus and brachiosaurus lol

[@legthieff]

if u wanna use trex, fill the enclosure with struthiomimus every once in a while, they attract guests because more dinos and also work as good live prey, same goes for carno, or other medium to large predators.

[@goofygoof338]

I feel like for a couple of these creatures size is also an issue, I don’t really use small carnivores or even herbivores since they are too small to see and I never use compy for obvious reasons if you can’t really see them in your beautifully decorated enclosure then what’s the point Also I feel like majungasaurus is one that gets left out a lot I personally use him because he has some surprisingly good skins and feels like a real creature with how ruff the design is

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

Well honestly i'd argue that all these animals are big enough to see in well design enclosures. Perhaps i should do a video on designing good enclosures for particular species.

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

I understand what you mean about the elasmo, but i do think it has better skins than Plesio or Attenboro. Only styxo has better skins in my eyes.

[@JustACarnotaurus]

Yeah I agree with 2,I use him in most of my parks and I rarely use amargasaurus

[@tri-clawgaming7682]

[@tycoonraptor7052]

I use both usually, their small size and the wildly different appearance from each other makes it fairly easy to justify both for me.

[@polaroidz1987]

i don’t use struthiomimus a lot because the first game kinda made them out to be boring by making them the first species you ever unlock, and making the species a sneak peak of what’s to come, being dinos like the gallimimus
