Nobody Played Capcom's Dinosaur Overwatch... Here's Why

hello! here’s another video about a weird game you probably haven’t played! thanks for watching my stuff, and i hope you have a lovely holiday season. (also i tried holding the mic this time, not sure if i’ll stick with it but i’ve been in an experimenting mood lately)

This game being PVP is what killed it, everyone wanted a PvE game, many big content creators say "The game is amazing until you have to fight other players and it feels forced".

"I like playing as the big dinosaur" We all do. If only more games let you play as the big dinosaur

Me and my friends stuck with this game and really loved the last half. I wish the presentation was better though. Anyways, the bit about Leviathan is so on point. Leviathan is one of the most memorable video game announcers I've ever heard. We still randomly quote him even when playing totally different games. "Summoning raptors. Summoning raptors. Summoning raptors."

Someone in the Capcom office after Exo-pPrimal flops: Told you we should've gone with making Dino Crisis but, no, we need to make our own Overwatch.

Fun fact: the pure pve is basically gambit from destiny. It suffers from a lot of the same issues. I am glad to see a game try what gambit did all those years ago but it seems like the idea is a lot touchier than anybody thought and is incredibly difficult to execute. I have hope for these ideas in the future though.

I remember pretty much the consensus with this one was "oh; that's cool, but where's the PvE only mode?" and then the devs said it was on the way, and put out beta tests with the forced PvP that made a lot of people upset lol I think the devs had an interesting vision for this game; but I also feel like they needed someone to tell them to just focus on ONE aspect of the game, and tune it to perfection. If this was a solely PvE or PvP game, I imagine it would've been a lot better received.

Yeah, the problem I had with Exo was that there was genuinely a funny and campy story going on, but all that Live Service PvP stuff was getting in the way. I would've liked a PvE hero shooter.

Those cooler gamemodes being locked until you progress the story further sounds cool in theory but that alone turns off a lot of newer players from wanting to push on from the first few hours if they arent aware of it and eventually, its gonna be really hard finding players in the cooler gamemodes if too many people dropped the game too soon.

I played this game for a good while man like probably 20 plus hours and it still has some of the highest highs I have experienced in recent multiplayer. Running over to the enemy teams payload to blindside them with deadeye's ultimate was incredible. When every piece of exoprimal clicks its phenomenal, it just sucks that it hits that sweet spot like 15% of the time. This game feel like it might be a prime suspect for a 2.0 F2P update in like a year.

Savage Gauntlet's weekend exclusivity is almost certainly to centralize players towards the main queue during weekdays, which is especially important considering the lower player counts.

I think that one of the problems was that when the game was showed and the people saw: CAPCOM, red hair lady and dinosaurs you automatically think Dino Crisis and Capcom knows how much we want a remake or another game...it felt like a bad joke. Great video!

All I wanted is a Dino Crisis remake. That is all.

absolutely hilarious that the devs decided to hide the majority of their game and as a result most people never even heard about it. This is the first time across multiple reviews that I've heard anyone mention more gamemodes etc. unlocking as you progress the story, presumably because reviewers aren't going to waste over five hours or more on repetitive gameplay that has no hint of change. As far as most of the world is concerned, Exoprimal has only one game mode and it's not an especially engaging one.

In the first trailer we've got time travel, dinosaurs and a redhead protagonist. A lot of us assumed that maybe a Dino Crisis reboot is in the works. A lot of us old fans were upset when it turned out to be an another online shooter

As a Warframe player, I was put off from trying by the PvP. And I bet the people who like PvP were put off by almost all of it being PvE.

Not a lot of people mention it, but I was coasting along watching the hype train as I waited for this to come out. I knew what it was, and I was genuinely excited for what it was. And Capcom did an absolutely horrid job of explaining what it was. So many people didn't know, there were questions everywhere, and the general state was confusion and a total apathy to do one's own research. And for goodness sake, with this hamstring already nipping the game...they came to a preview event with a "battlepass trailer." Instead of, you know, "Hey this is overwatch but with dinosaur killing before the player killing." As excited as I was for the game, I instantly saw that battlepass trailer and went "oh no this is going to be dead fast...am I going to waste $60 on it anyway..?" And I did and it was a ton of fun...but yeah. They messed this up real, real bad. Which is truly a shame because it's such a fun and good game. It just buries itself under it's problems and the absolutely concern-inducing furious drive of the devs/publisher to make this live service.

I actually played a couple matches of exoprimal but only as Roadblock, I had a couple moments i thought was cool (and i liked the voice, it sounded like he was struggling a bit when the shield was about to go down) but i was really in it for the PvE, and if exoprimal wasnt on gamepass, it would've been even more of a flop edit: I did remember as roadblock actually tanking a dinosaur charging at me with my shield up as it pushes me back, and that. was. epic. I love that so much.

when you said dinosaur overwatch I was hoping you played as the dinosaurs in pvp,,, now im sad

14:54 i guess we can now safely say that this issue has been alleviated as of the recent Season 3, where you can now see the exosuit's abilities from the hanger menu
