what does Sup Forums think of this game? do y'all like it or do you put it in the bin with DayZ/H1Z1? is it as good as 7 days to die and rust?
what's your favorite map? (Center, Island, Valhalla, etc.)
favorite dinosaur? (mine is either the T-rex or the Argentavis)
best mod? (I think annunaki genesis or dragon gods)
>urrrrdurrrr muh early-access survival gaem is so gud i liek it itz sublieme gud graphics gud evyrtihng 10/10 - Some random shill
>start game
>main menu is shit
>uninstall
the game is fun if you play on an unofficial server with like 10x rates, instantly fixing all of the problems the game has
Runs like shit.
I like it
I put 300 hours into it, usually in 1-2 week bursts after several bigger patches
I wish DayZ or h1z1 (or 7 days to die) was developed this fast, I'm a huge sucker for survival shit
I only played the original map, and a tiny bit of Center
probably gonna play The Center at my next burst of ARK
fav dino.. hmm, I liked to take 2 raptors or sabers mateboosted on hunts, but of course T Rex is awesome too
I dont really know much about mods, if a server uses them it downloads automatically
why does the exe called ShooterGame.exe?
Played for 250 hours before my tribe got completely wiped on official and I just had 0 desire to ever play again. Got my $17 worth by a long shot.
Extremely time consuming on official.
is it supposed to look like this?
It is when you play the game on an easy bake oven
when did they port ARK to the PS1?
get wrecked, faggit
>play it in my brothers xbox
>everything is terrible
>load it up on muh gaming pc
>everything is even worse
It's a good game but I'm burnt out on it after some 400 hours.
I just can't be assed anymore and the time sink is gigantic unless you play on a server with huge rate increases
Optimization is absolutely horrendous though
waiting for the ps4 version
>Windows 10
you shitpost, but you have it too.
You know W10 is shit when even the kaspersky AV team said they're not switching to W10 yet
it's one of those games where you have to get used to playing on low or medium unless you have a monster computer with a 1070 or 1080
I actually don't. I tried it for like a week then switched back when I realized it made literally everything run worse.
The game is pretty good but the UI is complete shit and i don't get as sucked in as i do with an mmo so that i can actually stick to it so that all my shit doesn't get ruined when i come back.
Nope and never will
I remember literally spending about 10 hours taming a high level bird
Then some guy came and killed it
RP whitelist servers are dank as fuck.
that's every annunaki genesis PVP server, every few minutes you'll tame something cool and then have it killed by someone's wyvern
I'd like to try it but I don't know if I can stomach hardcore RP
But I like the idea of being, say, a traveling merchant on a sailboat or shit
It still runs like shit.
It looks ok on low, it's not ugly, but it's not optimized either.
It's just unplayable.
This game really has an issue with high level players just stomping everyone else, those last few top tier dinosaurs are way fucking overpowered.
Last I played it was essentially impossible to beat someone with a giga unless you have one as well.
4GB gtx 1080
to beat a giga that isn't being controlled by someone you use metal spikes(note: i've only seen this work on tamed gigas, wild gigas are much stronger so it may not work) they will just eat it and die before the spikes do
to beat a giga with someone on it, assuming that they're not in your base, either snipe them, pick them up with a flier, or shoot them with explosives to rage the giga and throw them off it(they'll probably die)
also you can lure gigas into the water to drown them, or to kill them with your plesios/mosas(again tamed not wild, i'm not sure if killing a wild giga is possible at all)
Speccy's retarded.
You do have a point, but you have to assume the people that caught them aren't completely braindead or alone. Two players with end game dinos (there's a flying one that's even worse) can easily wipe out a whole tribe of players that don't have them. It's possible they've been nerfed, but last I heard devs refused to do anything about it and said it was intentional.
Hence essentially unstoppable though, you can do it, but it's ridiculously hard even if you know they're coming. And a wild one can wipe out a good chunk of the island if it's pissed off.
quetzels can't have turrets(except for the manned kind) on their platforms anymore so they're pretty balanced now
but yeah, things are very much slanted towards people with more resources/time however it's important to note that if you have gigas and quetzels and rocket launchers the only reason to raid a noob's stone hut is to be an asshole, you can't possibly need anything they have. a decent server would have rules against griefing noobs for fun.
Well that's much better then, last I played they could and it was completely fucking broken.
The issue with any of these sorts of games is that people are dicks though, they kill people simply because they're there, not because there's anything notable to gain from it or any real threat.
Even a server with rules against stomping noobs is only as good as its admins though, if they're barely online it's not much use to have them there at all.
I feel the game needs a way for people to be able to reliably counter high level dinos though without having to already know they're coming. It should be high level too, but having to have a giga to be able to fight someone with one is pretty stupid.
For example, if you look at something similar like Rust (not the exact same, but close enough), a high level player can destroy low to mid level ones easily, but anyone with an assault rifle who gets the drop on a fully kitted out guy will likely kill them if they're the better player. I just don't feel like there's much importance put on player skill in Ark, more about how much time you've spent grinding for those top few things.
