I used to play it, and it used to be good... until the latest patch. They ruined lot of things: some nerf, some changes, it's pretty much considered a worse game by everyone by now.
I mean, I like the basic idea of the game: survival with dinosuars?! DINOSAURS?! who doesn't love dinosaurs? But the execution nowadays is not that good, as you said... I hope that when the full game comes out it will be more polished and fun. It's still fun, not as fun as in the beginning....
