not not a sick elephant!!!!

Ive always been curious about these tycoon games.  

The ones on PC are a little more hardcore sims. This is a more streamlined kind of game for the console plebs (as I was called recently). It's fine, I like things a little more casual. I got enough deep thinking going on as it is. 

Who called you that??

It was really just a joke. My friend and I at work were using those terms like "console pleb" and "PC master race" just for a laugh. Although, he is a PC guy and may have been trying to tease me a bit. 

So ... is there a breeding animation or ... ?

No. The animals just lay down as if sleeping and then one of them gets up prego. I noticed during the hosing down sequences that the animals are not anatomically correct. I guess that's for the better, but isn't it part of the zoo experience to be shocked by the wild behavior of the animals? I remember one time, this monkey was playing with his. . . well, never mind. At least I got to pick up the poo. 

You can get a trophy in The Last Guardian for watching Trico take a dump. 

I was so ready to avoid achievement/trophies and start thinking of them as a distraction. Now you've given me a reason to think they're worth while. Thanks for that, I think. LoL

My daughter started playing Zoo Tycoon a couple days ago.  I was going through some of my old boxes full of games and the PC version of Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection was in a box unopened.  My daughter got excited and asked to play it.  I didn't know there were later releases of the game.  I just thought she saw some youtuber playing the PC version and got excited when she saw I had the game.  I had the game for years and never played.  I'm not sure how it got in my collection to be honest.  I'm sure I didn't buy it. 

I just looked at the wiki for it. Apparently this Zoo Tycoon game on X360 and XBO is by a different developer than the ones on PC done earlier. . . Frontier Developments. They made Screamride and Planet Coaster, a game talked about recently on Idle Thumbs podcast that I wish was on consoles. 

Hate those types of glitches. I've never tried an animal sim game. I think the closest would be the Jurassic Park mobile game but I didn't get far into it. 

The game gets a little sluggish sometimes and the helicopters stop picking up animals and some animals get frozen in place. An easy fix is to save, exit and return. That usually does it.
