JW1's Return To Jurassic Park is my favorite DLC

[@1954_Gojira]

Hot take but evolution 1 fences are better than evolution 2 fences

[@kairyu9207]

I can definitely agree with that.

[@Raphus_2001]

oh, 100% 1 actually had height variation.

[@thatoneguy6432]

oh 100%

[@lukerobbert2002]

Not a hot take at all :)

Now this begs the question of a free update tier list! Nice rankings!

[@nanuqo2006]

nah bc all of those were too mid to remember

[@cretaceouscontainment4472]

@@nanuqo2006 There were several game changes I can remember lol, Despite most that should have been base game

I just realized you missed a DLC from Jurassic World Evolution 1, but I know the reason for that: It's the Vivid Ankylosaurus DLC. The DLC included... a single Ankylosaurus skin (the Vivid skin). And the worst part: you literally had to pay 35 dollars just to get the DLC because it was only included in a bundle with other Frontier games! And you can't even get it nowadays. For me, this has to be the worst "DLC" for the JWE franchise, period.

[@ario203ita5]

You can get it by modding your game

[@Weirdanimalboy]

And the skin wasn't even that vivid iirc

[@RaptorStudios]

Return To Jurassic Park was the most fun I’ve ever had in either of these games

[@kiarash608]

I love how you instantly backtracked on putting the Cretaceous Predator Pack in B 😂 Like yes, I get it, the game doesn't "need" more dinosaurs, but God dammit that Utahraptor is the first dinosaur in Evolution's history that had me like "It's perfect, 10/10, no notes"

[@shaydengarr-yz1ir]

True with that statement

[@seantron5291]

26:18 you flashed your script at us 😭 😂

[@magnisilentium2785]

I completely disagree with the Dr. Wu Expansion ranking. 1. It integrates neatly into main campaign. 2. The gene mods (stress, social, environmetal needs) and the extra Tech tier are abolutely essential, to enjoy the game. I would not recomment, to play the game without it. It makes the handling of carnivores so much easier. And it opens the gate for enclosure/species combinations, that were impossible before the expansion was released. Admitteldly, not everybody loves JWE1's camapign & progression system, but that expansion is a game changer.

[@Anti_social273]

I’m so ready for jwe3 I hope they drop more animals Mammuthus primigenius or even Giant ground sloth and need more trassic creatures

[@shaydengarr-yz1ir]

Yes I hope for the Cenozoic mammals to come into the third game.

[@foramtastic]

Wow, going back to the DLC packs from the first game really reminded me of just how much it changed over its lifespan....

[@treyrex5987]

It's been a crazy ride playing and practically growing up with both Evolution games, buying all the DLCs (except JWE1's hybrid pack) and seeing the games *evolve* into their respective full potential. Loved every bit of it, blemishes and all. 🥰 Although I'm uncertain about what my feelings are for a JWE3, I wish the best of luck in this game series to continue being successful and improving.

[@ajmccorristin1125]

lets be honest that final ranking for the predator pack was really the rating of the Utah Raptor.

[@shaydengarr-yz1ir]

Yes that is correct

[@Etsman9000]

Gigantoraptor on top

[@mariuskarlsen4029]

Return to Jurassic Park and Claire's Sanctuary is the best ones

[@caspergarcia804]

It’s cracy how many Cretaceous dlc’s we got and not a single Jurassic or Triassic Dlc through out both games.

[@RexytheSeaBlimp]

Marine species pack should've been S tier for Shonisaurus but otherwise based tier list

[@timberwolfe8526]

Always interesting to hear your thoughts and see how the rankings play out! I don't have energy right now to choose favourites, but curious to read the rest of the comments thoughts.

[@Redspiny2]

The feathered species pack is my favorite pack because of deinocheirus

[@masonfriel9882]

The Cretaceous Dino pack from the first game is easily an S to me. It had one of my favorite herbivores in iguanadon because of the Disney dinosaur movie. I absolutely loved the sounds of the other 2. I know it may be weird, but that was one of my favorite dlc packs ever

[@Lindwyrm6429]

Man I really want to see your rankings for PZ DLCs and how you feel about common zoo animals being put in DLCs

[@something1122]

Funny thing, i only paid full price for 9/11 jwe2 dlcs.

[@sentinel9752]

Just finished watching through all your species showcases for the JWE2 dlcs after buying them all on the steam summersale. Will you do a updated Dinosaur ranking or a sandbox build with all species at some point? Thanks for all the great content and entertaining videos!

[@BestInSlotGaming]

@sentinel9752 oh I totally forgot I can do an all species park now, for sure!

[@carterlazarus813]

CC Pack might be the worst that isn't literally repackaged content. The variants were glorified skins with no patterns for nearly a year, you get 2 creatures, one is pretty but also just a bigger proceratosaurus, the other is a hybrid which many people are not going to like; and then a bunch of skins, for 12$ state side! And none of the attractions people were actually clamoring for in the pack! And the creatures they missed out on by shipping the thing early or in one case just held off randomly for 2 years had to be put in other packs!

[@alexb859]

Awesome Video!!! Also I got my Species list, this is only my Opinion tho :) and for Each Tierlist I'll be putting them in Alphabetically :) S Tier (Best): Allosaurus, Archaeornithomimus, Atrociraptor, Austrolovenator, Baryonyx, Brachiosaurus, Camarasaurus, Carnotaurus, Cearadactylus, Chunkingosaurus, Coelophysis, Compsognathus, Crichtonsaurus, Cryolophosaurus, Deinocheirus, Dilophosaurus, Diplodocus, Dracorex, Dryosaurus Dunkleosteus, Edmontosaurus, Elasmosaurus, Euoplocephalus, Gallimimus, Geosternbergia, Gigantosaurus, Gigantoraptor, Gigantspinosaurus, Homalocephale, Ichthyosaurus, Iguanodon, Indominus Rex, Jeholopterus, Kentrosarus, Liopleurodon, Maaradactylus, Maiasaura, Megalodon, Megalosaurus, Microceratus, Moros Intrepidus, Nasutoceratops, Nodosaurus, Olorotitan, Ouranosaurus, Oviraptor, Pachyrhinosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Plesiosaurus, Polacanthus, Pteranodon, Pyroraptor, Qianzhousaurus, Quetcalcoatlus, Sauropelta, Scorpious Rex, Segisaurus, Sinoceratops, Spinosaurus, Stegosaurus, Stygimoloch, Styracosaurus, Tarbosaurus, Thanatosdrakon, Therizinosaurus, Tropeognathus, Tsintaosaurus, Tylosaurus, Utahraptor, Velociraptor A Tier (Great): Albertosarus, Apatosaurus, Archelon,, Barbaridactylus, Coelophysis, Concavenator, Corythosaurus, Deinonychus, Dimorphodon, Dsungaripterus, Herrerasaurus, Huayangosaurus, Majungasaurus, Mamenchisaurus, Minmi, Monolophosaurus, Muttaburrasaurus, Nodosaurus, Nothosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Proceratosaurus, Shonisaurus, Spinoceratops, Spinoraptor, Struthiomimus, Tylosaurus, Tyrannosaurus B Tier (Great): Alamosaurus, Amargasaurus, Ankylosaurus, Attenborrosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Dimetrodon, Dreadnoughtus, Indoraptor, Lystrosaurus, Majungasaurus, Metriacanthosaurus, Mosasaurus, Nigelsaurus, Sinosauropteryx, Styxosaurus, Suchomimus, Tapejara, Triceratops, Wuerhousaurus C Tier (Good): Chasmosaurus, Kronosaurus, Pentaceratops, Torosaurus D Tier (Neutral): Ankylodocus, Stegoceratops, Yutyrannus F Tier (Bad): Carcharadontosaurus, Troodon

[@neuroticplays]

Are you going to do a final ranking of all the species bow that you have had time with the last pack to let them maybe settle into their actual final spot, with vareints counting as their own separate species (giga, Ourano, stego etc)

[@manbehindthedesk43]

its difficult for me to rank any of the packs over the expansions due to how much was added in the expansions but im glad to see 99.9% of people agree how amazing the Dominion Expansion was, Therizinosaurus my beloved wouldve been the only reason i got it if it werent for the invisible fences, although i couldn’t give two shits about the giga even after she got all her skins

[@DDeinonychus]

Good news, the Mid Cretaceous isn't a thing!!! For some reason despite being the longest Mesozoic period the Cretaceous is divided into early and late while the Triassic and Jurassic are divided into early, mid and late. So no Mid Cretaceous Pack🎉!!!

[@rebelcommander7starwarsjur922]

You should do the same but for free updates

[@knuckleheadwestwind3585]

26:18 you have a shot of your script for a couple seconds, you might consider giving the YT editor a visit 😉

I have a question for you guys in jwe2 my dinosaurs have a blue highlight over them that’s kinda of annoying that was never in Jwe idk how to get it to go away

[@mariamarroquin1663]

Excellently!

[@PaleoDocFilms]

I agree dude, with the exception of the Malta pack, the stuff that we got was fantastic, congrats in advance of 800K

[@schaqui7526]

12:01 that was mt exact reaction like this isn't mortal kombat guys

[@iguanodon28]

For JWE3 the final ingen species we need are Peloroplites (remains on Nublar in fallen kingdom) Teratophoneus (remains on Nublar in fallen kingdom) Coelurus (confirmed to exist at JW on DPG website) Lesothosaurus (confirmed to exist at JW on DPG website) We could also have the 1997 variants for pteranodon and Mammenchisaurus I would also like to have more up to date models such as the CC ceratosaurus rather than the current JWE2 ceratosaurus

[@Nasuto1702]

thought you were ranking every dinosaur for a second and i was like: in 25 minutes? how? lmao

[@Cool_Cat89989]

I really feel like the only dlc im not going to get is secret species because of how much they swinged an missed with it like not giving ankylodocus a defense, not giving stegoceratops a good kill animation(same with spinoceratops as well) but the only good thing to come out of this is spinoraptor

[@seantron5291]

2:08 You seemed to have corrected something that didn’t need correcting? Struthiomimus wasn’t part of any pack, it was always base game.

[@kabluwi]

You shouldnt feel bad about being harsh on the rankings, its a company who will cheap out wherever they can, the criticisms should be vocalised

[@beansontoast5996]

I am livid with the secret species/stegoceratops pack. The stego is awsome as an s tier Dino and the rest of the pack is awesome

[@penguinsrockrgr8yt216]

I only bought like 2 of the dlc for JWE2 so I can’t really compare many of them since I am inherently biased towards the first game since I own all of the DLC

[@josephpavlovic4142]

which 2 did you buy?

[@InternetHydra]

Honestly I think while there's better creature packs, Prehistoric Marines should be bumped up to A because it's one of the more all stars packs there. Packs tend to have 1-2 recognizable species surrounded by stuff that wouldn't sell on their own. In this case three of them are very recognizable (iconic with Dunkleosteus) prehistoric marine animals, and while Nothosaurus is more obscure it's not a bad critter for the in-game park and does tie in with that animated show. It's biggest boat anchor is just the game not making the marine side of things very interesting, and I don't know if anything outside of this dlc uses the rock platform.

[@tcdiablo3346]

My ranking: S tier: Biosyn Expansion, Malta Expansion and Secrets of Dr.Wu Expansion A tier: Clair Sanctuary Expansion, Early Cretaceous Pack and Feathered Species Pack. B tier: Cretaceous Dinosaur Pack, Cretaceous Predator Pack, Carnivore Dinosaur Pack and Return to Jurassic Park Expansion C tier: Camp Cretaceous Pack, Park Managers Collection Pack, JWE2 Deluxe Pack, Herbivore Dinosaur Pack, Late Cretaceous Pack, Marine Species Pack and JWE Deluxe Pack. D tier: Secret Species Pack and Raptor Squad Skin Collection Pack

[@shaydengarr-yz1ir]

I am a big fan of those hybrid species but making us pay again and not giving Scorpios Rex a lux skin was the bad parts in my book. But overall I say or list is really near what I would put.

[@adriannegrete9586]

I wanted it on Nintendo Switch so I could play it.

[@stephanwagner6189]

Nothosaurus is my favorite animal in the game. S Tier!

[@Nicholasstaffiere]

Honestly I said before but I will say it again, plateosaurus or any other early sauropodamorph, should have been in the JWE's Herbivore Dinosaur pack instead of the nigersaurus. Because I was least expecting the ptateosaurus or any other early sauropodamorph to be in the game back in 2019, but no that didn't happened because frontier decided to choose nigersaurus because they think that Cretaceous dinosaurs are more popular than Triassic and Jurassic dinosaurs.

[@josephpavlovic4142]

What would your ranking be for secret species pack if spinoraptor and stegoceratops got redesigns?

[@TheMightyCrit]

So close to 800k

[@Sean0fenton]

Huayangosaurus being in the The deluxe edition pack and not the base game for Evolution 2 shouldn't have been done., I would've included a new species in it's place in the deluxe pack, something more unique like Scelidosaurus.

[@shftsniper09]

Personally I would put the Wu DLC as an A because it allowed you to have more transport choppers and 4.0 upgrades

[@FlyingFocs]

So having just gotten JWE2 on sale for 90% off (knew waiting would pay off), if I had to get a pack right now, it would would ether be the Feathered Pack or the Aquatic. Those are the ones I'm most drawn to.

[@naufallin907]

Is there any ppl that would say "jwe2 isn't end yet here we still don't know what would come next" at this point??

[@tuckmasterg]

Ive played and beaten both games multipe times and bought every single dlc/expansion And honestly I'll do it again especially with the state both game ended theres 3 thing i really really want from on the potential 3rd game is that 1 Every single dinosaur or at the very least the flyers and water creatures to not be in dlcs i do not want to repeat the Hybrid pack 2 Story maps such as Clarie Sanctuary's and Biosyn return or reused in some form 3 The current state of AI and the QoL changes need to stay

[@Grievs817]

Feathered pack will always be my favorite. Cretaceous predators might have been my favorite if they went with a more paleo-accurate Tarby (no disrespect to those who like the CC design or the people who made it). Still curious to see what JWE3 will bring.

[@siats142]

Saying the Atrociraptor is pretty good but Austrolovenator just decent is a new low

[@magnusblitz2311]

Jwe 1 Cretaceous pack that low is crazy

[@narutorook]

As (Sadly) a ps4 player i cant rank the dominion expansion that high cause its half building set, it dosnt have al building types but it cost the same as the others

[@maozilla9149]

so jwe 2 is done?

[@stephanwagner6189]

Camp Cretaceous is D for me. I only ever use the Ouranosaurus skin, the rest is useless to me

[@mr.random8649]

Cretaceous Predator Pack was the turning point for JWE2, where Frontier started to cut corners. Tarbosaurus feels too much like a small t-rex, utahraptor has sounds taken from velociraptor, gigantoraptor couldn't hunt anything at the release and concavenator escape animation is broken to this day. Harsh opinion, but it's lazy, low-effort and kinda unfinished. Low B-tier. Hybrid pack has 2 reused dino species (almos 50% of the content), not much more to add... Park Managers’ Collection Pack was a nice finisher, could have some bigger species though (or sth like 1-2 more "big" species, totalling in 5-6)

[@tuojiangoman3228]

Why couldn’t Smilodon have been in the Camp Cretaceous Pack?

[@shaydengarr-yz1ir]

I know right

[@FertIx26]

Probably because they would rather save the smilodon for jwe3 potentially and it would be a little strange to have smilodon as the only ice age cteature in the game. I wish they would've done it anyway though

[@Goodman-Diego]

We will never get something like rtjp

[@spyro8844]

Jwe1 was better with its prices everything in jwe2 is over priced and milked like the split dominion dlcs. I quite liked the Serects of Dr. wu dlc and other expansions, but have to agree on the deluxe edition and having a dlc only a month after release. The Raptor Squad skin pack, they should have been in the game not extras, Serect Species pack was the worst love the hybrids but making us pay for a jwe1 dlc again was very bad
