Lets be completely real here. This is a prime example as to why less complicated games are significantly more popular on the ROBLOX platform. We see it within the popular games of today. From cash grabbing simulators, to games that have a learning curve for that of a baby, to games that mainly exist due to trends. Roblox is just a home to the most degrading content I've ever had to bear witness to, and its a sad reality.
100% agree, and a lot of more mature audiences that would enjoy these games wouldn't touch Roblox with a 10ft pole because of the stigmas around it. They're well earned stigmas as the most popular games are just all grind and no gameplay. But that also sadly overshadows these gems that get packed under the mud and debris of much less poorly developed games
@@toastyoreos9584Roblox tends to show the most popular, most cash producing games directly when you enter the platform, which sucks, would've been better if it we're to scatter or a filter.
I second that, i feel like another factor is time, in DS so many people who played the game have far FAR too many powerful hybrids/event "dinos" that they amassed through the sheer time they have been playing, and in DA they don't want to restart their progress/ let go of all that power-
Dinosaur Arcade was my favorite creature survival game by far on Roblox. I especially liked how the “rebirthing” system worked. Really, I loved basically everything about it. It wasn’t a cash grab, it didn’t have predatory practices (Looking at CoS), it was just a really great game. Roblox lost the development of something amazing, and it’s so tragic.
honestly the mistake was that there wasnt frequent enough updates, dinosaur arcade had insane potential, but because it was a succesor to dinosaur simulator, it followed in the same step, combine that with infrequent updates and people just got bored of it.
this was by far the best dinosaur game in roblox imo, it was something we haven't seen done before, cool events to obtain creatures from other geological eras which was a pretty creative idea and nice details this game just made everything feel right.
*Ah, dinosaur arcade… you deserved a better fate.* Ultimately I agree with the sentiment that the game’s biggest flaw was the lack of real content updates. Bug fixes are important, no doubt, but so is satisfying your playerbase. Even a new dino every 2-4 weeks could’ve had ripples in the player count. Perhaps they could’ve added more end game content, like hybrids, skill trees, something like that. If I were running the show at Unhatched Games, I personally would’ve given a bigger focus to combat and adventure gameplay. The Headlessaurus boss was super fun and extremely well made, so it was a bit of a missed opportunity not to expand on that. Fighting tripods was also lots of fun, so why not make more mayhem bosses? It seems like a missed opportunity. Plus, warring and fighting other players generally seemed to be the most popular part of the game. Abilities certainly helped with that, but they took so long to develop, that by the time they released the playerbase was already dwindling. Perhaps abilities could’ve been released in spurts rather than all at once. If, theoretically, the game were to be revived, I would rebrand it. Something like “Dinosaur Arcade: Rebooted”, where the game is updated to feel like more of an adventure/rpg game rather than a survival game, which ROBLOX has plenty of. Remove the survival aspects, re-make the map (by the way, DA’s map was SUPER bland in my opinion), fill it with enemies, world bosses, cool structures, you get the gist. Maybe, just maybe, it could reach the player counts it deserves. Such is the way of passion projects, I suppose. That was just my opinion as a ROBLOX dev myself. Thanks for reading my yap session, lol.
Thing is, Bosses WERE planned, more dungeons, lore, and adventure stuff was planned, but unfortunately, the scope was too big, and there simply wasnt enough money. the game simply didnt survive until all those things could be added.
I feel more maps could’ve definitely spread variety, as well as having their own mini bosses like tripod in those maps, it would definitely given players a much more reason to play, having new areas to explore and new things to find.
Yk, im sad that this game got discontinued, it was the only roblox survival game that i was GOOD at And nowadays i have to worry about KOSers in DA, who camp at crater lake and hunger…. But now…. Its gone, now i feel like the only guy who was willing to wait for the next update But DS….. unfortunately its only been hell for me
i still love dinosaur arcade, unfortunelly people stuck with dinosaur simulator even after it stopped updating, i think this is less about lack of updates and more so people's issue with not moving on, aswell as , yknow, not much to do in a survival game besides pvp.
Every day I check up on DA, seeing if it got updated every one in a while. Of course it hasn’t, but, I still hold onto hope that funds from DS help to bring life back into DA.
I was there since the beginning. It hurt so much to see it go... The skins were amazing; the animations, too, and the music made me cry. I wish i could've played it more, I wish i could've upgraded each creature, I wish i could've gotten each skin and color, I wish it never died. I can only blame myself for playing other games more. I miss you DA.
Dinosaur Arcade didn't deserve to die, but it was destined to happen. The ipad babies don't like real games. They like overly simplified games that only require time and not effort. They like overly grindy games. Dinosaur Simulator was all of these things. Even when Dinosaur Arcade was at its peak and Dinosaur Simulator was "discontinued", Dinosaur Simulator was still going strong. The lack of consistent updates also didn't help the game, as you know what happens on Roblox if you don't update your game enough. If Dinosaur Arcade was its own game, not on roblox, it could've possibly been more popular than it used to be. Thankfully, the game is being kept out of obscurity because of it's dedicated playerbase. Those less than 40 players are keeping the game alive and fun. I hope this game receives more updates from the developers, it is genuinely amazing.
Take a look at phighting, kapi's rock and roll, and another dinosaur survival game that i forgot (i just renember it was 1-2 dinos vs 10 people) it doesn't have many players, and you know what games have alot of players? Skibidi toilet tower defense, the strongest battlegrounds, etc. It's just a bunch of cashgrab games that are popular with little to no effort, it's sad seeing those games fall in player count, i don't renember playing dino simulator but i think it was really fun, i get sad when i see these good games get discontinued
True,I honestly dont think the problem was how dinosaur arcade failed cause of lack of updates. People wanted CONSTANT updates and events,they couldn't wait and got bored.Sometimes games that add too much updates,events etc will slowly turn into complicated slop cash grabs to the point it will be straight up pay to win. People like games like those unfortunately :(
oh I remember _loving_ that game as a kid, before it died out. it was a fun gameplay loop making different builds, getting new dragons and testing what abillities were best. but with no updates and the player count slowly shrinking each day, it didnt last forever.
I miss Dinosaur Arcade too, I wish it could atleast have the events such as: Era Expansion, Spring, Winter and a lot more come back, but sadly it's a dead wasteland now, it is amongst my favourite dinosaur games, Dinosaur Simulator isn't really that good right now beacuse all the maps were removed, and a literal sauropod costing 750 DNA while weak spider costing 25K... I wish they could atleast keep the maps, and currently, there is only one where we don't have much to explore, and it's sometimes hard to travel in it. If we spawn as aquatics, we have to go trought a maze to go to the rivers.
it was so unique... the combat system, the abilities, everything. i absolutely loved that game and i even convinced one of my friends to help me get Giganotosaurus, we had a blast. Also, Arthropleura, my beloved ❤
I had played this game way back during its payed alpha, before it even became free. I played it frequently since then. I mostly played with friends but I had also played by myself. I thought it was fun and one of the most unique dinosaur games with its pixelated style, the way you got new dinosaurs was fresh (even though at some point fossils just became a discount instead of something actually needed which kinda sucks), grinding wasn't standing around you actually had to do stuff. It really could of had potential and it's kind of sad that it got discontinued. I have stopped playing about 2 years before that happened since I got bored of the game. I have touched on it some months ago but I got bored very quickly. It still met an unfortunate fate and deserved better but whatever. RIP Dinosaur Arcade.
It failed due to them making the game less fun and more boring with every update more people started getting bored of it the more it became like ds and it was losing the unique gameplay it had in beta and eventually the game died and also like you said they would add a new update or playable in a blue moon
the news i heard when da was discontinued hit me hard. I had alot of progress and had 1 mil dna ready for the new upcoming dinosaurs. sadly enough the game died out and was sadly discontinued
I don't know if the method had changed since, as I'd left around the time they started declaring new dino releases would be buy-in-only and wasn't interested in seeing whether they followed through with that, but when I played the main way was through finding fossils. You could dig them up in the mountains out in the badlands and would eventually be able to assemble, then spend points on a completed collection to unlock a new species.
Dinosaur Arcade was a good game. Sure, it’s still up and playable, but it kind of isn’t. I wish I could continue playing despite the discontinuation, but when I hope on, I can just feel how lifeless it is now. The entire map is a reminder that they dropped it at an instant and haven’t touched it since. They told us they’d add in the backlog they’ve been sitting on for ages, like the orca/dolphin/whale skins, and then they never did. It had always been a problem that they’d tease new content 4+ months before they finally released it, and I believe that contributed greatly to DA’s downfall. They also said they’d revamp old events, but given the untouched event-specific map and EE never returning, I’m coming to terms with the fact that I will never fight Headlessaurus ever again. Playing the game just makes me unreasonably upset about how carelessly the game was handled despite it being such an ambitious passion project. I would lose a piece of my soul if my passion project was handled and dumped like this. I bought this game in beta as well as some DNA and the fish gamepass. I adored this game. However, now I only refer to this game in the past tense. 7 months after Dinosaur Arcade was abandoned, I revisited Dinosaur Simulator. DS used to be my favorite game of all time. I poured hundreds of hours into that game. When I revisited it, it was pleasant at first, and then I noticed its new mechanics. They took DA’s grindiest mechanics and then they stitched it half-assed onto DS with no care for either games’ identities. It’s the same sound effect, the same UI, hell I think it was even the same fucking font, but I could be misremembering. They have every right to use their own assets, but oh my god did that make DS so much cheaper and lazier. They abandoned my old favorite dinosaur game, developed my new favorite dinosaur game, abandoned that one, chopped it up, and then slapped the pieces onto the old one. Given the fact that Fierce, AoK, and MM have also all been abandoned in UG’s history, at this point I’ve begun to see any project UG picks up as merely temporary. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a video titled “Why Unhatched Games Failed” at some point in the future.
@@sonicboom8369 they are putting multiple creatures that realism needed off realism. Their claim is roster bloat and that they only want 1 dino per niche
@PLANET_ODREDS what are you waffling about. They already have a big roster for a Roblox game. And the gamepass dinosaurs are filling in unused niches. They are trying to have the realism of the isle without the problems of the isle, one of those problems is roster bloat.
@@PLANET_ODREDS Understandable Prior extinction has always been a quality over quantity sort of game , its better to have 20 useful dinos then 200 filler dinosuars that dont do anything .
I remember when i first came to DA there was a lot of nice people that helped me get foasils, i also remember that 1 winter we made the biggest mammoth herd near valcanos beach a memory never forgoten...
dinosaur arcade had a more satisfying loop of gameplay with cooler events and playing with friends was even more fun when there was giant well made bosses and cool well modeled skins. People always diss dinosaur arcade yet it was the most fun dinosaur game ever and has some of the best features that ds will never have. This game dying is one of the saddest things ive seen. If this game comes back I will be there no matter what.
I think chicken learned a lesson, because after the discountinued, dinosaur simulator started to have peaked updates on every friday, like you said i have a lot of fun on da, many of my friends i have, we met on da, good times.....
Da game is literally fun Me and 2 of my friends we are Elasmo mods all 4 including Elasmo decided to play that game again we did enjoy a lot it was so hilarious 🤣 I did have fun with this lovely memory game it will always be special game to the real players
I played Dinosaur Arcade since it's paid access first released, and it was the most fun i've ever had on Roblox since I started. I've played through every event and purchased every playable dinosaur and got every skin as soon as they came out. When I saw it was discontinued, I genuinely started crying as it was my favorite game on Roblox. It was so sad to see the game I loved the most go. Thank you, Chicken Engineer and the rest of the development team, for making the best damn games the platform has seen and ever will see. ❤
i use to play every day, hell i use to play with my brother before he got more immature due to friends(insulted my interests and kept swearing, which he didnt do before), i really miss playing this game cause it made me the person i am today, that might be alot and silly to say about a roblox game but genuinely, i only dont play it cause my past friends and my brother abandoned it, things really dont last forever :( [srry for yapping, and if i mispelled anything
I loved this game... It was one of the only games I could play on my dinosaur-themed cell phone and I enjoyed everything I had in this game... Don't be sad, I'm grateful for the experience.
I REALLY loved this game, from the style, to the map, to the gameplay, to the creature variety, and the skins, etc. It felt so relaxing and creative, and was one of the VERY few Roblox simulators I actually liked and came back to a lot. But after they updated it to slap big icons for the actions and attacks (so instead of using your keyboard you had to manually click on what you wanted to do), I stopped playing. I hate when games do that, it just made it ugly and really drove me away. It didn't need an interface or control changes like that, and really bothered me and took me out of the immersion. It's so sad to see such a once unique game failing now, and to see it's changed EVEN more than it needed to, but I had a feeling that would happen the moment I quit ):
I remember when i first saw this game when i was searching for a dinosaur game and i was hooked, i saw its rise i was playing during halloween christmas whenever or whatever time you knew , waited every Friday for the new update and soon it vanished
I didnt play DA much, but i remember buying the early access on its release, i had a lot of fun and loved the premise for like a month or two. I lost interest because of some other factors but i had no idea DA ended up like this. I knew that it wasnt as popular as DS but now its discontinued and im a little upset i wasnt there for the past 3 years it was up. Bye bye DA.
I love dinosaur arcade soo muchhh mannnn I still play it now and days almost everyday I be having fun it I always still get into wars these days it’s sad to see my favorite game gone down I heard somebody was gonna bring it back I think I can’t wait
I honestly loved dinosaur arcade because the range of pvp is very balence, it’s a step up of dinosaur simulator but still sad dinosaur arcade had discontinued
I’m genuinely sad because it’s never getting updated ever again and it’s gone forever and ever and never gonna be in our hearts ever and ever of EVER EVER. 😔😞
I only played da before it had died so idk how fun the game could’ve been, the only dinosaur i have unlocked so far is shunosaurus but it was after the game died so i be grinding on a dead server which made it scarier than with a full server. How i wish i had played it while it was still popular
It’s a combination of putting a lot of effort into updates, which made them infrequent, and the 5 second attention span of the brain rotted humanity we see today which made it die, most of us only want to play games that are a living copy and paste.
This man genuinely sounds like he is gonna cry. I honestly prefer da over ds and I still play da to this game and I’m honestly sad that we will never see this game get updated again..
Dinosaur arcade will always be the best dinosaur game on roblox, I believe the downhill started when they added cards, that's kinda when I dropped it for awhile. 2021 da was amazing though.
The thing that these videos are lacking is mentioning the hacking incident, when Chicken chicken got hacked resulting in a terrible server raid and a lot of leaked content. That led to Chicken stepping down as a DA developer, giving this responsibility to Vesp/Vee, who tried their best to continue the game's development, but it seems that the damage has been done (especially considering they decided not to work on any content that was leaked and try to start developing new stuff to release instead, leaving a lot of people dissapointed)
Dinosuar Arcade and Simulation are a relic of the past when dinozaurs were apart of mass media and movies like jurassic park promoted them as cool monsters , a slowly dying genre that just doesnt have a place in the modern paleo community , dinosuars are not longer thought of as monster they are animals and that's what games like prior extinct get
I used to play this game all the time, hell I was a beta tester, I watched it's progress, and I am still upset about its downfall, this game truly could have been great, I even join the servers sometimes these days but it is FILLED with the most toxic people i have ever met, for me at least, tons of people throwing the word ''Newgen'' around, acting like they are original players of the game, it's sad, and I really miss Dinosaur Arcade.
I feel like the impact is not just on dinosaur arcade games on prehistoria roblox as the devs are interested in making income from updates for the community and updates are not promised and updates are bad unlike dinosaur world mobile they also have dinosaurs which have to be paid for using robux but it's the same as other carnivores This is different from Prehistoria, they don't say that the Dino skin uses Robux, not real coins from the game, even though there is no Dino Game Pass yet, this is a big disaster for this brazen dev community.
but i think somme thing more took the ppl from this good game is creatures of sonaria or CoS in short its a creature game where you surive,fight ect. But bc its surviving there are so much UBD evry week
i remember buying the game for 100 robux like days of its first release, i farmed sooo much on that game and i enjoyed playing it everyday. it literally does not feel like 2021 since i have bought and played the game i have however found a similar and underrated game called 'Wodac', it has a similar playstyle and atp ive already farmed so much on this game aswell to da, i highly recommend it if you want the same fun playstyle and nostalgia as did dinosaur arcade
Now enough people in each server for such a big map, boring long term gameplay, the way to unblock other dinosaurs and generally everything made it fall off
Sad the game died i remember hesring about it on yt days before i bout it and i stop playing and came back everyonce in a while later in the game but im not gonns try to grt goood at it now since it died
this game i will admit was fun and i will admit i did stop playing as i personally wasn't a fan of the level up system replacing the growth system as it made for a survival game a lot harder to grow your dinosaurs if it was a dual thing where you could still grow your dinosaur gradually i honestly would've been fine. but that does not mean i am happy it's gone i am just sad it couldn't recover
DA is better than DS I wish people would start playing more of DA then DS that game had so much potential and it sad that people never really gave the game a try

@@headwreak1768 also that's just my opinion.
@@DinoPalaeosc DS has 0 gameplay, its a roleplay game
I was completely confused on how obtaining new dinosaurs even worked, coupled with the fact the game was more tedious did not help matters.
I don't know if the method had changed since, as I'd left around the time they started declaring new dino releases would be buy-in-only and wasn't interested in seeing whether they followed through with that, but when I played the main way was through finding fossils. You could dig them up in the mountains out in the badlands and would eventually be able to assemble, then spend points on a completed collection to unlock a new species.
@@sylveadiff2813 i think thats what made me lose interest. Finding fossils was good but there was no reliable way of finding the fossils you wanted
Dinosaur Arcade was a good game. Sure, it’s still up and playable, but it kind of isn’t. I wish I could continue playing despite the discontinuation, but when I hope on, I can just feel how lifeless it is now. The entire map is a reminder that they dropped it at an instant and haven’t touched it since. They told us they’d add in the backlog they’ve been sitting on for ages, like the orca/dolphin/whale skins, and then they never did. It had always been a problem that they’d tease new content 4+ months before they finally released it, and I believe that contributed greatly to DA’s downfall. They also said they’d revamp old events, but given the untouched event-specific map and EE never returning, I’m coming to terms with the fact that I will never fight Headlessaurus ever again. Playing the game just makes me unreasonably upset about how carelessly the game was handled despite it being such an ambitious passion project. I would lose a piece of my soul if my passion project was handled and dumped like this. I bought this game in beta as well as some DNA and the fish gamepass. I adored this game. However, now I only refer to this game in the past tense.
7 months after Dinosaur Arcade was abandoned, I revisited Dinosaur Simulator. DS used to be my favorite game of all time. I poured hundreds of hours into that game. When I revisited it, it was pleasant at first, and then I noticed its new mechanics. They took DA’s grindiest mechanics and then they stitched it half-assed onto DS with no care for either games’ identities. It’s the same sound effect, the same UI, hell I think it was even the same fucking font, but I could be misremembering. They have every right to use their own assets, but oh my god did that make DS so much cheaper and lazier. They abandoned my old favorite dinosaur game, developed my new favorite dinosaur game, abandoned that one, chopped it up, and then slapped the pieces onto the old one. Given the fact that Fierce, AoK, and MM have also all been abandoned in UG’s history, at this point I’ve begun to see any project UG picks up as merely temporary. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a video titled “Why Unhatched Games Failed” at some point in the future.
This game was very good. But prior extension caught my attention.
Too bad the devs are ruining prior extinction. Yet another amazing Dino game to die…
@@PLANET_ODREDS it's good actually. We are getting better models and graphics.
@@sonicboom8369 they are putting multiple creatures that realism needed off realism. Their claim is roster bloat and that they only want 1 dino per niche
@PLANET_ODREDS what are you waffling about. They already have a big roster for a Roblox game. And the gamepass dinosaurs are filling in unused niches. They are trying to have the realism of the isle without the problems of the isle, one of those problems is roster bloat.
@@PLANET_ODREDS Understandable Prior extinction has always been a quality over quantity sort of game , its better to have 20 useful dinos then 200 filler dinosuars that dont do anything .
Narrator sounds like he’s on the verge of crying (he might not be), and tbh, I can’t blame him.
I spent so much time on the game just for it to be discontinued and it had so much potential
I remember when i first came to DA there was a lot of nice people that helped me get foasils, i also remember that 1 winter we made the biggest mammoth herd near valcanos beach a memory never forgoten...
OMG IM IN THIS
awesome video by the way
@@ElasmoYT ELASMO wtf thank you :)
Only update I really hope they release for DA if they ever come back to it is the chaos trex
dinosaur arcade had a more satisfying loop of gameplay with cooler events and playing with friends was even more fun when there was giant well made bosses and cool well modeled skins. People always diss dinosaur arcade yet it was the most fun dinosaur game ever and has some of the best features that ds will never have. This game dying is one of the saddest things ive seen. If this game comes back I will be there no matter what.
I think chicken learned a lesson, because after the discountinued, dinosaur simulator started to have peaked updates on every friday, like you said i have a lot of fun on da, many of my friends i have, we met on da, good times.....
I still play it. Dinosaur arcade never dies : )
I don't know what it is but it sounds like your about to cry, don't worry bro I can relate 😢
Da game is literally fun
Me and 2 of my friends we are Elasmo mods all 4 including Elasmo decided to play that game again we did enjoy a lot it was so hilarious 🤣
I did have fun with this lovely memory game it will always be special game to the real players
I hate Roblox and it’s community.. Crappy simulators rise but masterpieces fall so easily. Is the only thing we crave are fast updates?
This was the best dinosaur game in my opinion
I used to play it all the time back in 2022/2023 :(
I love dinosaur arcade, but sadly, It fell and now, I have to play creatures of Sonoria ( creatures of Sonoria is also pretty good)
I played Dinosaur Arcade since it's paid access first released, and it was the most fun i've ever had on Roblox since I started. I've played through every event and purchased every playable dinosaur and got every skin as soon as they came out. When I saw it was discontinued, I genuinely started crying as it was my favorite game on Roblox. It was so sad to see the game I loved the most go. Thank you, Chicken Engineer and the rest of the development team, for making the best damn games the platform has seen and ever will see. ❤
i use to play every day, hell i use to play with my brother before he got more immature due to friends(insulted my interests and kept swearing, which he didnt do before), i really miss playing this game cause it made me the person i am today, that might be alot and silly to say about a roblox game but genuinely, i only dont play it cause my past friends and my brother abandoned it, things really dont last forever :( [srry for yapping, and if i mispelled anything
Bro hit the content jackpot 👍 congrats

I loved this game... It was one of the only games I could play on my dinosaur-themed cell phone and I enjoyed everything I had in this game... Don't be sad, I'm grateful for the experience.
why do you sound like ur 1 string away from having a break down

@@BigManGorg1He wasn't lying though-
I REALLY loved this game, from the style, to the map, to the gameplay, to the creature variety, and the skins, etc.
It felt so relaxing and creative, and was one of the VERY few Roblox simulators I actually liked and came back to a lot. But after they updated it to slap big icons for the actions and attacks (so instead of using your keyboard you had to manually click on what you wanted to do), I stopped playing.
I hate when games do that, it just made it ugly and really drove me away. It didn't need an interface or control changes like that, and really bothered me and took me out of the immersion.
It's so sad to see such a once unique game failing now, and to see it's changed EVEN more than it needed to, but I had a feeling that would happen the moment I quit ):
I remember when i first saw this game when i was searching for a dinosaur game and i was hooked, i saw its rise i was playing during halloween christmas whenever or whatever time you knew , waited every Friday for the new update and soon it vanished
I didnt play DA much, but i remember buying the early access on its release, i had a lot of fun and loved the premise for like a month or two. I lost interest because of some other factors but i had no idea DA ended up like this. I knew that it wasnt as popular as DS but now its discontinued and im a little upset i wasnt there for the past 3 years it was up. Bye bye DA.
I love dinosaur arcade soo muchhh mannnn I still play it now and days almost everyday I be having fun it I always still get into wars these days it’s sad to see my favorite game gone down I heard somebody was gonna bring it back I think I can’t wait
Anyone remember making mammoth herds or just killing ppl as a rhino 😭
I honestly loved dinosaur arcade because the range of pvp is very balence, it’s a step up of dinosaur simulator but still sad dinosaur arcade had discontinued
I’m genuinely sad because it’s never getting updated ever again and it’s gone forever and ever and never gonna be in our hearts ever and ever of EVER EVER. 😔😞
Dinosaur arcade is good, honestly prefer it from dinosaur simulator
I like lore is all :p
Also it has good boss fights ngl-
I only played da before it had died so idk how fun the game could’ve been, the only dinosaur i have unlocked so far is shunosaurus but it was after the game died so i be grinding on a dead server which made it scarier than with a full server. How i wish i had played it while it was still popular
dang last time i played was in 2022 in my free time, i loved the game so much bc of the nostalgic music they used. i had no idea it was failing :(
It’s a combination of putting a lot of effort into updates, which made them infrequent, and the 5 second attention span of the brain rotted humanity we see today which made it die, most of us only want to play games that are a living copy and paste.
Man I missed when elasmo does play this game
It was somewhat popular before it got discontinued. And the combat system was way fairer and fun than its predecesor, including pre-abilities.
I was there when it costed robux😢
I'm actually so crushed to see it go!!!!!! I loved it sm
We need a Roblox Dinosaur Park Builder
From the Garden it grew, and being Fierce all the way back…
Sad that DA is discontinued I met one of the absolute best friend I have on DA
This man genuinely sounds like he is gonna cry. I honestly prefer da over ds and I still play da to this game and I’m honestly sad that we will never see this game get updated again..
Dinosaur arcade will always be the best dinosaur game on roblox, I believe the downhill started when they added cards, that's kinda when I dropped it for awhile. 2021 da was amazing though.
I never played it personally, so I wouldn't understand. I've been a dinosaur simuator player since 2017 and I wish it was like it was then.
The thing that these videos are lacking is mentioning the hacking incident, when Chicken chicken got hacked resulting in a terrible server raid and a lot of leaked content. That led to Chicken stepping down as a DA developer, giving this responsibility to Vesp/Vee, who tried their best to continue the game's development, but it seems that the damage has been done (especially considering they decided not to work on any content that was leaked and try to start developing new stuff to release instead, leaving a lot of people dissapointed)
@@some_dude_maybe even then before that DA had dwindling numbers, this wasnt the main cause but it definitely contributed..
Dinosuar Arcade and Simulation are a relic of the past when dinozaurs were apart of mass media and movies like jurassic park promoted them as cool monsters , a slowly dying genre that just doesnt have a place in the modern paleo community , dinosuars are not longer thought of as monster they are animals and that's what games like prior extinct get
I used to play this game all the time, hell I was a beta tester, I watched it's progress, and I am still upset about its downfall, this game truly could have been great, I even join the servers sometimes these days but it is FILLED with the most toxic people i have ever met, for me at least, tons of people throwing the word ''Newgen'' around, acting like they are original players of the game, it's sad, and I really miss Dinosaur Arcade.
You sounded genuinly upset about this man.. god bless
I feel like the impact is not just on dinosaur arcade games on prehistoria roblox as the devs are interested in making income from updates for the community and updates are not promised and updates are bad unlike dinosaur world mobile they also have dinosaurs which have to be paid for using robux but it's the same as other carnivores This is different from Prehistoria, they don't say that the Dino skin uses Robux, not real coins from the game, even though there is no Dino Game Pass yet, this is a big disaster for this brazen dev community.
I love it, and still play it ❤
Bro it’s such a good game and it sucks that barely anyone plays it anymore but I still doooo!
but i think somme thing more took the ppl from this good game is creatures of sonaria or CoS in short its a creature game where you surive,fight ect. But bc its surviving there are so much UBD evry week
i remember buying the game for 100 robux like days of its first release, i farmed sooo much on that game and i enjoyed playing it everyday. it literally does not feel like 2021 since i have bought and played the game
i have however found a similar and underrated game called 'Wodac', it has a similar playstyle and atp ive already farmed so much on this game aswell to da, i highly recommend it if you want the same fun playstyle and nostalgia as did dinosaur arcade
I rember when i unlocked the dodo and when i started playing. Trully unforgetable times
I wish the Gigantopithecus was still available (I miss DA)
Now enough people in each server for such a big map, boring long term gameplay, the way to unblock other dinosaurs and generally everything made it fall off
I was so excited for dinosaur arcade to come out
Sad the game died i remember hesring about it on yt days before i bout it and i stop playing and came back everyonce in a while later in the game but im not gonns try to grt goood at it now since it died
Man sucks that all of chicken engineers games are never going to be updated nor be revived
miss DA it was so so much better than DS has ever been, and from the start has been more fun to play then DS has ever been
Wise man once said: "Nothing built lasts forever."
I remember this.....
The reason is because the players chose nostalgia and doing nothing over playing a game
Madness Survival is giving DA a warm welcome to the pile of dead games!
2 words why it failed : PRIOR EXTINCTION
This game used to be the only thing in my life.
this game i will admit was fun and i will admit i did stop playing as i personally wasn't a fan of the level up system replacing the growth system as it made for a survival game a lot harder to grow your dinosaurs if it was a dual thing where you could still grow your dinosaur gradually i honestly would've been fine. but that does not mean i am happy it's gone i am just sad it couldn't recover
I miss the times where dinosaur arcade still updated
i miss it so much
i cant tell if ur crying or not
DA is better than DS I wish people would start playing more of DA then DS that game had so much potential and it sad that people never really gave the game a try
Im just glad chicken moved back to dinosaur simulator
It was extremely cool game until unbalanced extreme powerful stupid creatures added in.
