Jurassic Park the game has own page now


* ''VideoGame/JurassicParkTheGame''
** Before the events of the game, it was revealed that Laura had greatly opposed much of Ingen's contingency plans for the dinosaurs, such to the extent that the management team took notice.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That the management team outright bring this up to Laura and have her fired. It's possible she's under contract and they could force her to sign an NDA, and they could easily sue her into oblivion for breaking said contract.\\
'''Instead:''' [[ReassignedToAntarctica They merely relocate her to her own private laboratory, where she can do her own research]].\\
'''As A Result:''' Still upset at the contingency plans, [[spoiler: Laura comes up with the idea for the anti-lysine contingency serum, and is able to work on it undetected.]]
** Relating to the above, it was revealed that Laura had bred and raised a bunch of Troodon, raptor-like dinosaurs that had venomous bites and were considered to be too dangerous. After the failed escape of the Big One, Hammond (who, [[HypoCrite funnily enough, didn't want to kill the raptors at all]]), the orders the Troodon euthanized.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That knowing how much Laura wants to keep anything alive even if it's dangerous, he send in personnel to restrain Laura and kill the Troodon themselves.\\
'''Instead:''' Hammond merely tells Laura herself that they need to be euthanized, and trusts that she'll do it.\\
'''As A Result:''' [[spoiler:Laura decides to study them in secret, and that in itself results in Nima being bit by one and nearly dying, and it eventually results in Billy finally losing his patience with Laura after the Troodons have made a nest out of D-Caf and causing his FaceHeelTurn.]]
** In the second episode, Billy and Oscar had encountered Vargas, who had gone crazy and presumably just gunned down Bravo Team. Oscar would incapacitate him, but Billy is able to get Oscar to spare him thinking he might know about what happened and why he went crazy.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That Billy make an effort to keep an eye on him. Sure, he's pacified, but Oscar had to shoot him and he's clearly in no shape to fight back. Plus, there are dinosaurs around, among them are the as of yet unknown, but dangerous Troodon.\\
'''Instead:''' Billy and Oscar leave Vargas alone in the visitor center to check the cameras.\\
'''As A Result:''' [[spoiler:While checking the cameras, one of the Troodon come by and drag off Vargas for a FateWorseThanDeath. This also prevents Billy and Oscar from finding out about the Troodon, and it prevents them from warning D-Caf about them as well, leading to his own demise.]]
** During the helicopter ride, it becomes clear that Nima and Oscar have history together, and Nima had just started to badmouth the mercenaries much to the anger of Oscar. Billy would tell the others to calm down, resulting in Nima turning her attention to him.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That Billy do anything aside from antagonize her. He's a massive joker, but now's the time to be serious.\\
'''Instead:''' Billy makes several sarcastic jabs at her expense.\\
'''As A Result:''' Nima gets mad enough to get Oscar riled up, and if it wasn't for [[OnlySaneMan Gerry]] calming them down, then a full on fight would break out on the chopper. Considering how a fight between the two later resulted in the chopper crashing, it's possible that had Gerry not calmed them down, they all would've died.
** In the third episode, Jess had swiped Laura's cigarettes and wanted to sneak off for a smoke.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That Jess stay in a relatively open area where she could see everything. Yes, it'll put her at risk at being caught by Gerry and Laura, but it's better them than any dinosaurs.\\
'''You'd Also Expect:''' [[spoiler: That Jess not even try to steal the cigarettes at all in the first place.]]\\
'''Instead:''' Jess sneaks off into a corridor without letting Gerry or Laura know.\\
'''As A Result:''' [[spoiler:She's ambushed by a raptor, and if she hadn't thrown the lighter into the mouth of it, she would've gotten killed.]]
** Later on, in the third episode, [[spoiler:the survivors had come across D-Caf, who was just made into a nest by the Troodon. This is coming moments after Oscar's death, and [[FireForgedFriends Billy]] is distraught at this and is lashing out at the group.]]\\
'''You'd Expect:''' [[spoiler: That the group remain respectful when discussing D-Caf's body. It's clear that he's one of the other mercenaries that came with Billy, and it would be a bad idea.]]\\
'''Instead:''' [[spoiler: Laura starts to talk about the scientific aspects of it, despite Gerry telling her to be respectful. This commotion ends up bringing Billy over, who understandably is horrified and even more upset.]]\\
'''You'd Then Expect:''' [[spoiler: That Laura keep her mouth shut and not say anything that could provoke a rage from Billy.]]\\
'''Instead:''' [[spoiler: She blurts out that she knew the Troodon escaped.]]\\
'''As A Result:''' [[spoiler:Billy finally starts to go off the deep-end, and nearly kills Laura right there. It's only after being talked down by the others and the arrival of the Troodon that he doesn't.]]
** In the final episode, [[spoiler: Laura had been trying to convince the government to spare the island upon hearing the island was soon to be firebombed.]]\\
'''You'd Expect:''' [[spoiler: That Laura bring up the lysine contingency. While she got rid of it, the government doesn't know that, and she could use that knowledge to convince them that they're not threat to the global ecosystem.]]\\
'''Instead:''' [[spoiler: Laura, in a last-ditch effort to convince them, takes the group hostage, and after the government labels her as a terrorist for this act, Laura spitefully releases the massive and powerful Tylosaurus to destroy the ecosystem, completely forgetting that the room she's in contains [[TemptingFate a large, human sized pool that the Tylosaurus can access]].]]\\
'''As A Result:''' [[spoiler:The Tylosaurus knocks into the pod and knocks Laura into the water, where it promptly kills her.]]
** During the final episode, [[spoiler: the T-Rex had shown up while Billy and Nima were fighting over the canister, and both were forced to remain still. The canister ends up next to Gerry however, and considering that Billy had tried to kill them, he subtly kicks the canister and it's about to tumble off the dock.]]\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That both characters ''don't move''. [[spoiler:Yes, it will suck that they'll lose the canister, but it's not like they can do much considering it's either lose the canister or get eaten by a T-Rex.]]\\
'''Instead:''' [[spoiler: As it gets closer to the edge, Billy runs to the canister and grabs it, [[FailedASpotCheck forgetting there's a T-Rex right behind him.]] He doesn't even try to run for it or even jump in the water to escape, instead just letting it walk up to him in a RightBehindMe moment.]]\\
'''Result:''' [[spoiler:He promptly gets eaten.]]
** Later on, during the final chase, [[spoiler:Nima drops the dinosaur embryo canister after the T-rex forces its way underneath a skywalk while chasing Gerry, and Jess is on the verge of either falling off or being eaten after the dinosaur notices Jess. [[LastSecondEndingChoice The player can have Nima either save Jess and sacrifice the canister or vice versa.]] If Nima goes after the canister at the expense of Jess' life, she runs outside to retrieve it.]]\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Since the character has been shown to be quick-thinking when dealing with the dinosaur beforehand and considering that it's ''right next to her'', [[spoiler:that she would pick it up and ''immediately'' run back to (relative) safety inside. Failing that for whatever reason, she would remain completely still (since the T-rex's vision is based on movement) like she did a few minutes ago after the fight with Yoder even in a dazed state.]]\\
'''Instead:''' The character grabs the IdiotBall and does exactly what Yoder did. [[spoiler:After picking it up, she stops to smile and look at it. It takes six seconds for her to [[OhCrap suddenly remember the rumbling fifteen-foot tall T-rex]] [[FailedASpotCheck only a couple feet away from her.]] Nima completely turns around after realizing this, letting T-rex see her, and doesn't make even a token effort to run in general, even falling flat on her ass as it walks up to her.]]\\
'''Result:''' [[spoiler:She promptly gets eaten.]]

** A guy named Phil asks Nick's help getting a will stuck inside his house, which is overrun with zombies. Once inside, Nick runs into Warren, Phil's stepson, who explains that Phil locked him in there and lured in the zombies so he get more money from his deceased wife. However, Warren saw that coming and planned ahead, tricking Phil with a fake will and making sure he was prepped to handle the horde with body armor and some effective weaponry. After saving Warren, Nick goes to confront Phil with Warren as backup.\\
'''You'd Expect''': That Phil would just hightail it and try to find a safe place to hide. He doesn't know about the fake will, so for all he knows he's rich so long as he can outlast the outbreak. But he can't stand up to two guys younger and fitter than him that are equipped to handle the zombies.\\
'''Instead''': He attacks them trying to remove all witnesses. It only winds up getting him killed.

** One of the side missions sees Nick helping a guy named Hank, whose RV has just broken down on one of the bridges at Los Perdidos. Nick offers to help fix it up, explaining that he's a mechanic. Hank takes him up on his offer and asks Nick to grab him an acetylene tank and a propane tank. Nick reluctantly complies, but continuously warns Hank that this isn't a good idea, especially when he has to retrieve a gasoline can to finish it. (Note that Nick actually going through with this doesn't technically make him stupid, as he does try to warn Hank multiple times hoping he'll see reason).\\
'''You'd Expect''': That Hank would see reason, since Nick did just explain that he's a mechanic and thus would know what he's talking about.\\
'''Instead''': Hank brushes him off and starts up the RV once all the tanks are installed. It quickly becomes clear that the RV is going to explode, and Nick quickly warns Hank to vacate (which, again, prevents Nick from being the stupid one despite all this).

** Another survivor named Troy has just been conned into selling his daughter's locket. Nick offers to get it back from the con man, known as Kent. He finds Kent and his bodyguard Jesse and tries to get Kent to hand over the locket peacefully.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Kent implies that he's just acting pragmatically, which is fair enough in a zombie-infested city. So the sight of a guy who is likely toting some serious weaponry politely asking for a small trinket back without violence would convince him to just hand it over. It's not like he can make money in this situation when he himself admits there's no way out of the city.\\
'''Instead''': He insists Nick show him respect and tries to enforce that with Jesse's help. Nick is forced to kill Kent in self-defense and takes the locket back anyway.
'''Even Worse''': If Jesse is still alive when Kent dies, he quits then and there and sides with Nick. So much for respect.
