Humans 1 Player(s) - Dinos 31 Player(s)

11/10 best team-balance simulator 2015

"I hid in the bushes stalking and observing a hulking T-Rex clomping around the pathway. It stopped for a moment. My chance to strike! I emptied BOTH of my Magnum Revolvers into it's hide, every one of the twelve shots ringing out loud and true. I was sure I had the beast defeated, surely no class could take a barrage like tha-" CHOMP. He turned around and ate me with a simple click of the mouse.

Balanced/10

Would play fair again

After those ours what i have wasted on this ,i can tell you it is reallly worth
note:that i can change my review anytime because it is is early version

-Skins ,loadout system,good drop system
-Dont need to pay for another dinos
-Maybe not so much players but at least normal
-Graphic is pretty changed and it is awesome
-Still poor animations
-Game is too expensive (microtransactions,have in mind that this isnt p2w and microt. are just cosmetics but anyway still expensive)
-No balance(4rex and 5 carnos=Lose always)
-As i said before not so much players
-much glitches and bugs that are making dinos win (example trex can put his head in mostly buildings through wall and eat you)

As i heard it has new dev team,this game is good,i highly recom. its not the worst but not the best,this game is early acces and it will change as my review for this !
I hope this review helped you to decide if buy or not !

This game is really good, but I sometimes clip through the floor and die
And killing anybody is very hard
Also sometimes my dinos can't attack, ugh

Driving humans extinct simulator.

Early Access at this point, and a work in progress it is indeed. Glitches to go around and balance issues out the wazoo.

HOWEVER, what it does right should also be considered; The Devs are very attentive, patches are plentyful, the community's (mostly) excellent, and almost everything that made the first game amazing is back and better. The few bits that aren't, will be in due time. Especially if they continue their current rythm.

In my opinion, it boils down to this; If you're alright with Early Access games, get it. If it's on sale, get it. If you owned the original and have the discount, get it. Otherwise, may want to hold on just a wee bit longer.

Pros:

-Good unique gameplay for each class
-Excellent Graphics
-Customizations
-Good controls
-Great maps
-Nice layouts
-Item Drop system
-Frickin DINOSAURS

Cons:

-FPS Lag, lots of it.
-Bugs everywhere
-Glitches

Well it IS in progress, right now the big downside is the lag. It is making it unplayable, but when the lag stops its great!

Humans vs Glitches

Keep in mind that this is an early access title, this game is a major improvement to the first one, that being said, there are a lot of bugs with this game as of launch which is to be expected, but they make the game unplayable for some people.

~~EDIT 1~~: With the first patch it fixed some of the server joining and crashing issues, and increased the stability of the game along with skins not working for some people. Audio crashes are still common though, having you restart the game. Sometimes you will also be unable to join a server, this happeneds much less often now though.

~~EDIT 2~~: 2nd patch just went up and oh my gosh, it fixes so many things. Also there is an Australian server up now and it's just fantastic, community is growing and servers are populated. It's really fun now and I would reccomend this game now without a doubt. There is still some bugs though.

~~EDIT 3~~: The game is headed in the right direction, I would still recommend this without a doubt, balancing has been taken place with dinosaurs and humans reciving buffs/nerfs. There is still some bugs, I've got more detailed feedpack on patch 3 here - http://steamcommunity.com/app/321360/discussions/0/626329820658999321/

Pros:

- Nice graphic style for what the game does, lots of graphics customization for people with older/OP rigs.
- Fun, the dinosaur and animations are a lot better then the last game.
- Less frame skipping then the first game when in a server with high ping.
- Dinosaurs with different skins that carry over from the first game.
- Developers that communicate with the community and have a solid roadmap.
- Dinosaurs.
- Cost is fair and you get a large 85% discount if you brought the original game.

Cons:

- Very buggy right now, some people are having problems with even joining servers, making the game almost unplayable
- Not a wide verity of servers right now so some people from Australia and other countries may experience high ping, but developers have stated they will be adding more in soon.
- Other bugs such as menu not working/ having to ctrl + alt + del out of the game, server crashes and animation bugs

I will edit this review with each update.

As this game stands, I do recommended it if you want to support this fantastic game, but if you wait a week or two for the bugs to be patched out, I think you will have a better dinosaur experience.

The game is truly beautiful, in all regards except for the bugs. Of course, they're bound to happen, all games have bugs, and Extinction only being a few days old, just coming out into the world, has a lot of them. That's exactly why it's been given to us in Early Access. The game is meant to be buggy, so we can find the bugs. We're here to help the Developers fix this game. It's severely broken in a lot of ways, but just because they're called developers doesn't mean we don't have the right to take part in molding the game. So go back to 1.3 and enjoy your dusty little dinosaurs, I'm going to stay here and watch this game grow.

*** BASED ON THE WIP/EARLY ACCESS TIME PERIOD ***

+ Upgraded shaders and tweaks within the Unreal Engine make the game much smoother, ensuring that older hardware can still run this at high/highest settings. This is esentially a remake or recode of the original, but one that runs 30x better.
+ Graphics are still up to par with the style and setting of the game; landscape looks lush and awesome, the models look defined and detailed.
+ DLC from Primal Carnage, their first game that this one is basically a clone of, carries over into this game, so your raptor skin, assault skin, etc etc will be carried into Primal Carnage: Extinction.

- Servers can't seem to handle the influx of new players as of this time; some games lag so badly the game is nearly unplayable, others won't let you join a team and glitch out, others kick you from a match for various reasons.
- Class balance is slightly off on this, as the Pteranodons seem to be bullet sponges and the Spinosaurus is now playable in TDM. Changes may come later as this is still a WIP game but tweaks are needed on some classes, both dino and human.
- Not free :( "Primal Carnage 2.0" as this was once interanlly known as was supposed to be a massive, free tweak of the game to weed out all the old game engine's problems. Lukewarm has since been absorbed and is now known as Circle 5 Games, who had other ideas and have since released a for-pay remake of Primal Carnage. Some may like it, others may not.

This game is shaping up to be fantastic though. It has its issues but this a WIP/Early Access review, and I'm sure by final release from now until then that many issues will be addressed and fixed. It already feels much smoother than its parent game - of which it is a re-made clone - so I have faith in the developers to continue making what I think is arguably the best dinosaur vs human FPS game to have ever been on Steam.

I reccommend this game. At the moment, yes, it is laggy, and yes, it isn't perfect. But is any game perfect in early access? No. Thats exactly the point. The reason I fully reccommend it is - The devs work very hard on this to ensure that all bugs do eventually get fixed and lag also gets fixed.
PROS:
Very pretty on higher graphics settings.
Fun and balanced for both sides.
Lots of variety and customization options.
Easy to win new items.
Not pay2win.
Tyrant class is more interesting and less of a 'godzilla' style tank.
The pounce. I love it, please keep it like this forever.
CONS:
Laggy at the moment
Still quite a lot of bugs
Humans feel a little too powerful (Probably because I'm used to the unbalanced older game)
Really difficult to get the best drops c:

Pteranodon Abduction Simulator 2014.

Keeping in mind this is an early access game and there are still things that need polishing, this game offers its fair share of fun and has potential to become the game previous PC owners always wanted but never recieved.

POSITIVE:
1.) GRAPHICS and PERFORMANCE: In terms of graphics the devs have done a great job. Even with most of the advanced graphics options turned down this game still offers an impressive landscape with improved features like raining etc. The performance of this game was significantly improved compared to the old PC, where the word slideshow would be a compliment for how that game ran. Mess with your settings a little and this game will run like butter.

2.) DROP SYSTEM: Although i dont play the game exclusively for loot i must say getting new skins and items is a pretty cool feature and a nice addition to the game.

3.) A very dedicated and commited developer team, its unfortunately rare nowadays, but always nice to see people put effort in their projects and as long as they support the customers, I will support them back.


NEGATIVE:
1.) BALANCE: This is being worked on, just trying to point out some things that I personally didnt like the most:
- raptor pounce and ptera grab arent canceled when they get hit, they definitely should
- miniscule raptor claw damage encourages players to spam pounce instead of doing the exact opposite
- not all but some dinos should have faster stamina recovery, be it through roars or other means
- humans rly need to be slowed down, there is nothing funnier than seeing a sprinting human trying to outrun a ptera and almost succeed
- ptera vertical movement should be affected by gravity and given acceleration
- playing the trapper basically means serving other players the kills, unless the netted dino lands right in front of you and you can get to it faster than the incoming grenade of a nearby commando

2.) ACHIEVEMENTS: In my experience so far 3 out of 21 achievements cant be unlocked even though I should have unlocked them multiple times by now due to them being either bugged or the instructions for obtaining them not being clear enough.

3.) Random crashes, inability to join any server when you fail to join one, occassional sound loss etc, but all these are being looked into and hopefull will be fixed soon.


CONCLUSION
The game still needs a lot of work but even as it is remains playable and fun. The game is aimed more towards casual gamers since all game mechanics are very easy to handle and learn, therefore provides little to none competetive potential, which doesnt make it a bad game, but is worth mentioning. Currently I do recommend this game but with a high dose of optimism and faith in the developers to get the job right. Looking forward to future patches, and with each update this review will be edited accordingly.

This is the game for you if you like to blow off dinosaur heads, burn them to a crispy corpse, shatter their legbones with landmines, and cut them up with chainsaws.

Alternatively, you can take out your buried aggression on mankind by breaking the frail necks of humans, punting them into oblivion, or dropping them into a vat of searing acid. Enjoy the scenery as you rampage through dense forests, old mouldy buildings, snowy mountainsides and disgusting swamps, using the environment to lay cunning traps and ambushes.

Unfortunately, this game does not have Shrek. That is the only downside of it.

Gameplay and some thoughts:

I was a big fan of Primal Carnage so when I first heard news of the recode I was pretty pleased to see it was getting an upgrade. So frankly my opinion hasn't changed from the first game. I've had very little problems with the early access build aside from a few minor graphical bugs. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing this game completed and polished. It's a great game thats a heap of fun.

I love this game! it runs ALOT smoother than the first Primal Carnage, it may be early alpha but its still an amazing game and i just love it so much. Buy it.... NOW!

If you already have the original, get it for the $3. If not, wait till more development has taken place.

This is not just a game this game is like a drug it's like a part of life! Primal Carnage: Extinction fromer Primal Carnage 2.0 x64 yeah it'slovely, it just needs lots of attention but hey that is what these early access games are for to be played and bug reports made :)

For Serious games Primal Carnage 1.3.0 is still most preferred, but Iam sure once this one gets all polished and fixed up I think it will play better, we just gotta give it some time and lovin :)

Very nice enhanced version of the original Primal Carnage. It improves every single aspect of the old one. So it's still a 'must-buy' for all dino fans out there ;)
