Ark isn't really known for its accuracy. But are the criticisms deserved or do people have a point?

Mistakes/additional info:
Utahraptor in the game is known to live in packs. This is not known among Utahraptor, and any evidence supporting this is heavily debated.
The tail on Giganotosaurus might be a little too thick.
