The fact that whenever a new dinosaur games is being made, there are always people who want the option to play as a dinosaur, even if it doesn't make sense for the game in particular. Like The Stomping Land for instance: yeah, it's gonna be a real blast to either get hunted endlessly or have some hairless monkey riding on your back and controlling you. Don't get me wrong, being a dinosaur is pretty awesome, but for some games it just doesn't work!
Furthermore it could be said that in most dinosaur games the dinsouars are highly inaccurate ( not counting dinosaur zoo games ).

even then i don't know many dinosaur zoo games that had accurate animals: the Velociraptor and stegosaurs from ZT2 EA are the only one that come to my mind, as JPOG had realistic JP dinos.

Even they weren't perfect, the Steggy was too small and the raptor was half-naked.

Philly: Actually, the dinosaurs in The Stomping Land are quite well-researched. ;)

I stand in the shadows waiting for you to return me to the light.

True, I mean really in a game where humans use dinosaurs, yeah no, in a game where dinosaurs fight humans or can be humans VS dinosaurs, or survive as a dinosaur against human players to survive.

People who still think feathered dinosaurs are just a theory. Just shows how behind they are in the paleo-fandom.

When "genus" and "species" are confused in the media. It's not like they're THAT hard to tell apart!

And of course, it's only for prehistoric animals. People know that in Can is lupus, Canis is the genus and lupus is the species.

I think I've recently found someone who annoys me even more than David Peters! Is anyone else here familiar with this one idiot who lurks around Pterosaur.net and claims that birds are descended from pterosaurs instead of dinosaurs? He has demonstrated that he has ZERO knowledge of anatomy as well. :implode:

That is a special kind of stupid.

It also implies he's never actually seen a skeletal or even a doodle of either animal in question which would immediately prove him false.
