ARK

ARK balances primitive technology such as bows, crossbows, and swords with guns, mounts, and Tek. Recipes, custom consumables, and other survival come together with gathering, crafting, trading, taming, breeding for colors and stats, cave PvE and minibosses, arena PvE and bosses, base building, and PvP.

>the glitched character creation system
What?

>the pooly made tutorial
I didn't realize it had a tutorial, and it would be unnecessary.

All of those are playable.

>Game is 300+GB download
So uncheck some of the maps. I only play on Genesis Two, maybe Scorched Earth and Ragnarok, and potentially Fjordur for the new features.

I am retarded how does breeding work, I want cool color mutations

>repeat for 500 hours
wow amazing emergent gameplay

>ARK has some of the better graphics on the market.
No, the game is a blinding blurry oversaturated mess. The environment is either too dark or too blindingly bright. Even with reshades and extensive ini edits, ffxiv still looks better than this steaming pile of shit.

The dinos are neat though.

I played it a lot before they nerfed my favorite dinosaur and then nerfed rafts into the ground. It's a shame, really.

Even mods can't save this.

does ark still have monthly or weekly servers? Those were the only ones i liked. and hardcore servers

ark was one of my fav games of all time back when max dino level was like 60 and the only way to get gunpowder was to farm caves.

I agree with OP's statement, though at least when I played ARK it wasn't one of the bestr overall experiences, especially for things other than PVP. I enjoy multiplayer survival games of all sorts, but I've found that Conan Exiles is one of the best I've found in the model of ARK. I do wish it had more updates, but it still has a lot of content including PVE "dungeons" should you desire them, and the Hyborian setting means you can even keep players or NPCs as thralls; instead of dinosaurs you can ride and engage in mounted combat on other creatures though.

Last I played there were lots of mods and the monetization itself is solid (ie DLCs are cosmetic focused, equivalent in power, but reasonably priced ), and there were even RP style servers (one of the DLCs in particular added a lot of RP focused stuff, I think it was the Derketo one) and what's more besides the standard PVE servers or full time PVP, there's also "Conquest" PVE where you can kill any player individually when you see them, but buildings and structures can only be destroyed at certain times of the day (ie usually prime play time for that server). This stops the "You go to bed and some guy sits there for an hour knocking down your wall, steals your shit, burns the rest" in many cases. Overall a pretty fun title.

Holy shit I just looked again and they've added a LOT, including a whole sorcery system, building overhauls, and more I'll have to give it another shot.

it's a love-hate relationship
I did not expect chinese tribes to be specifically conspiring against us, and figuring out logistics to attack us when we were mostly sleeping
though I did think it was really interesting that they had been creating stash houses near us in preparation for raids
