    Triceratops: Good defense, but not smart enough for A Tier Ankylosaurus: Is even dumber, but is also invincible
  • @louba516
    The saddest thing in growing up is that nobody asks you which dinosaur is your favourite anymore
  • @cyanmalterer.
    a remaster of this tier list would be amazing. there’s so many unique play styles and abilities, and maybe just focusing on the strangest strategies
  • I remember in the cretaceous expansion the devs had a lot of trouble designing the Spinosaurus hitbox, and because the models for most of the dinosaurs can't be found in the files in later builds, nobody knows what the official model actually looked like, and we only have the animation rigs to go off of.

    ah yes, the sauropod strat: Plan A: be really big, if that fails Plan B: have allies who are just as big
  • @SananLoom
    I don't know, this TierList seems way outdated. Prehistoric even.
  • I’ve always wondered how anyone knows anything about how they acted or how smart they were.
  • @firejay433
    Big Al documentary was my childhood. Now I’m almost an adult. Those clips gave me massive nostalgia.
  • @mexcube51
    Everybody gangsta until a sauropod goes bipedal.
  • @hellraiser5671
    This tier list really needs an update in light of recent advances in paleontology. The fact that dinosaurs here are all depicted more like featherless reptiles rather than of typically feathered therapods they were is the most glaring.
  • @jasonturtle3075
    its been a while but i do hope in the future we get an up to date video on the dinosaur tier list

    "They banned the dinosaurs because the meta was getting stale" laughs nervously in human

    When a T rex loses an arm "Oh no, anyways"
  • @casereddeath2553
    This channel has just made me want a online game that just simulates all of natural history up till present day
  • @Colinnn.
    Another thing to note about Therizinosaurus is that its claws were fragile. They were really meant to act as salad servers for digging up plants and roots, but they doubled as somewhat helpful combat weapons, just not as much as the specialized claws of something like a velociraptor with its toe claws.
  • When the only counterplay option for your build is “kill it while its young” I thing you have a good build
  • @darkpainter2591
    Tier zoo *has near death experienced and wakes up Doctor "so what was it like?" Tier zoo " I met the devs"
  • @kris6038
    TierZoo, would you reassign Spinosaurus on the tierlist now that we understand it as significantly more well adapted for aquatic living?
  • I was never able to get into a game during the Triassic events, kept getting snubbed in the egg stage. Had some great pvp games in the Jurassic, kinda regret not doing more of the low-tier dinos at that time, however, I really did enjoy Pachycephalosaurus in the Cretaceous events.
