I've had a lot of fun with this game with over 2k hours in it, so this kinda stings to write. The way this game is updated/maintained is garbage. Every update breaks something. The latest Gen1 update was so jank it barely functioned. I play single player, but I've heard the servers aren't even accessible for online play. Gen1 was a lazy release where the studio seemed to focus more on the paid DLC than the actual map, which seems to be the direction they are heading nowadays. Want proof? Look no further than under the ocean where the floor is just a lazily placed world border. There have been many instances where I've lost weeks of work due to the game crashing after an update and me having to reload a previous backup. At this point, I can't in good faith recommend this game as the studio seems set on pushing new paid DLC rather than fixing the broken mess that is this game.
Its honestly impressive how little has changed since the first game, Its a buggy, jank, unoptimized overmonitized mess. Guess they found a way to keep their Early Access label for a few more years, wonder how many DLC will be released for this EA title before it goes 1.0 again ...
30分以上接続とエラー落ちを繰り返したことで頭にきて返品しました。 そもそもゲームをさせる気がないうえに、211GB+アップデートで100GB近くを要求される。しかも初期ワールド以外をプレイするなら各サーバーをダウンロードしないといけない。このゲームのために5、6個のゲームをアンインストールしましたがそれだけの価値は絶対になかった。後悔しています。 仮にサーバーに参加できたとしても重くてまともにプレイできないんじゃないでしょうか笑 おすすめしません
Very poor optimization, although the graphics are pretty. Singleplayer is still very buggy, and has been since release. Lots of Pay to win creatures so PVP is pretty terrible unless you want to spend a lot of money. With the new "Bob's Tall Tales" and "Lost Colony" DLC's, they now taunt people who don't want to spend additional money by adding a skill tree tab, buried treasure maps, and other things that simply redirect you to a paywall when you try to interact with them. Honestly pretty shameful. Overall very disappointing that Snail Games got their paws on the franchise, maybe one day they'll be bought out by a company with better practices.
As much as I personally enjoy this game, I can't recommend it to others. There are just so many technical issues with this game that absolutely need to be sorted out, I want this game to be as good as it can be and succeed, but it needs some serious work to get there. I hope that the studio can realize that someday and put a strong effort toward the stability of this game.
这更新每次都要重写一遍完整游戏的问题不修,这个差评就一天不删
I love ark and i was really excited to play ascended but the amount of dlcs you need to buy to actually unlock the full game is insane and the bad part is if you dont own any of the dlc's they constantly shove it in your face. for example i was really excited to tame this weird draggon thing that i saw in my world but nope its locked behind a dlc. ok whatever ill move on to the next thing, found a weird fire breathing thing maybe i should tame that. NOPE ITS A DLC. The full games actuall price is 3 times the amount of what they say it is.
They can't even enforce their own Terms of Service. Go look at any official Server and there is pillar spammed everywhere which is against the rules but they don't enforce. This is just a Cash Grab.
Good game. Wish they would just add new dinos into the game instead of locking new content behind a paywall
Отзыв (RU) Не рекомендую. Это не игра, это лабораторная работа первокурсников, которую зачем-то продают по полной цене. Такое ощущение, что игру придумали 1-2 реально талантливых человека, а писать код отдали студентам, которые вчера открыли учебник. QA в этой конторе, судя по всему, не существует как класс - либо он есть, но состоит из одного человека, который его тоже не проходит. Патчи ломают игру. Каждый. Раз. Обновления выходят каждые два дня, и это не преувеличение - буквально каждое что-то убивает. Ни единого исключения за всё время. После крупных патчей неофициальные сервера лежат по нескольку дней, потому что разваливаются моды. Это не разработка игры, это конвейер по производству багов с игрой в довесок. Установка патча - отдельный вид издевательства. Игра с дополнениями весит 400 ГБ. Она только что вылетела прямо во время сессии, пока я был под водой. Перезаход - качается 2 гигабайта. Казалось бы, ерунда. Экспектед тайм: 4, ♥♥♥♥, часа. Перекачать игру заново - быстрее, час. Но и часа хватит, чтобы персонаж утонул и потерял весь инвентарь, всех прирученных динозавров, всё нажитое - из-за двухгигабайтного патча, который ставится дольше, чем скачивается вся игра. Это не баг, это дизайн-решение уровня "нам плевать". Оптимизация - отдельная комедия. RTX 4080, средние настройки - 45 кадров. Выкручиваю графику в ноль - 60. На топовой видеокарте. Для сравнения: Subnautica 2 на том же движке спокойно бегает на GTX 1660 Ti, а на 4080 летает на ультра-настройках, и при этом выглядит на голову лучше. Значит, дело не в движке - дело в руках, которые к нему прикрутили эту игру. Хорошая идея, убитая исполнением. Играть в это - значит добровольно соглашаться на то, что твой прогресс в любой момент может сгореть из-за очередного кривого патча. Не покупайте, пока разработчики не научатся тестировать хотя бы то, что выпускают. Review (EN) Not recommended. This isn't a game, it's a freshman lab project someone decided to sell at full price. It feels like 1-2 genuinely talented people came up with the concept, and the actual coding got handed off to students who opened a tutorial yesterday. QA apparently doesn't exist at this studio - or if it does, it's one guy who also doesn't do his job. Every single patch breaks the game. Every one. Updates drop every two days, and this isn't an exaggeration - literally every single one kills something. Zero exceptions, ever. After major patches, unofficial servers go down for days because mods fall apart. This isn't game development, it's an assembly line for bugs with a game attached as a side effect. Installing a patch is its own form of torture. The game with DLC is 400 GB. It just crashed mid-session while I was underwater. Relaunch it, and it downloads a 2 GB patch - sounds like nothing, right? Estimated install time: 4 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hours. Just re-downloading the whole game is faster - one hour. But even an hour is enough for your character to drown and lose everything: the entire inventory, every tamed dinosaur, everything you built up - all because of a 2 GB patch that takes longer to install than the entire game takes to download. That's not a bug, that's a design decision that screams "we don't care." Optimization is a joke. RTX 4080, medium settings - 45 fps. Turn every graphics setting to zero - 60 fps. On a top-tier card. For comparison: Subnautica 2, same engine, runs fine on a GTX 1660 Ti and flies on ultra on a 4080 - and looks miles better while doing it. So it's not the engine's fault - it's whoever's hands bolted this game onto it. Good idea, murdered by execution. Playing this means voluntarily agreeing that your progress can go up in smoke at any moment because of the next broken patch. Don't buy it until the devs learn to test whatever it is they're shipping.
