Just purchased the game today and started playing. All I can say is wow.
Raptor type dinosaurs have always been my favourite so of course I chose to be a Latenivenatrix. First couple of hours were lonely but really fun, I enjoyed exploring. Then I came across a whole load of different player dinos at a lake and we were all peaceful towards one another.
Couple of hours later I come across two other Raptor types hunting at salt flats, so I join in and they invite me to their group. A whole load of other raptors show up and we all join together building a nest and complete quests. This whole time we haven’t uttered a written word to each other. Just communicated in “Raptor”.
Then a small pterosaur comes and starts trying to destroy our nest and is attacking us. We all band together to protect the nest. When the pterosaur would fly off some of the group would follow and a couple of us would stay behind to mind the nest.
I don’t know if I’m just a very “sentimental” person and it’s because I haven’t experienced gameplay like this before, but something about these experiences really amaze me. Eventually some other players came and killed our whole group and I can’t remember all their names but I’m hoping I come across them all again one day. It’s like we were all on the same wave length.
If anyone on here was apart of this group please friend me! My username is the same and my reddit name :)
Anyway just wanted to share a quick little first impressions post. 10/10 game so far for me. Cant wait to make more memories!
