Es Good
2590 hours played in ark ascended. over 3000 in ark ase. do you want to pay for a product that you cant play 25% to 50% of the time? I'm tired boss i wish wildcard and snail games loved this game as much as the playerbase does. Profit profit profit at the expense of your game. You will have to pay for every new release (they say it's free, but everytime they release new overpowered stuff, so you will have to pay if you want to keep up with everyone else) Every release you have the same cycle: delay, release a completely broken update, make sure only 10% of the playerbase can actually connect to a server. The broken updates they release are incredibly bad. You will crash all the time, the server will crash, you lose all your stuff and you can lose your character. There will be patches released very frequently, so everyday you'll be downloading and waiting, but these patches rarely ever fix anything, and even worse, they usually break other things that were not broken before. Several weeks or months later, the game is still in the same state, and people give up. New features don't work, nothing works as advertised, it's very frustrating. The servers are a complete nightmare. As I said before, after a new release, only 10% of the playerbase will be able connect. That means, if you want to play, you have to spend 10 to 20minutes, everytime you want to connect to your server. And you just hope you get lucky and get in, and when you finally get in, you hope you don't disconnect or crash. During this time the network obviously can not handle this load, and the lag/rubberbanding/freezing is really bad. So when you can finally play the experience is not good at all. This happens every cycle, they just refuse to spend more resources.
the game is good,but really needs better optimization
Graphics only looks good in the first 10-15 feet of view. Takes up so much drive space. Optimization isn't in their vocabulary. It is unacceptable that you have to compromise settings with top end PC like I have. If you want to play Ark save you money and play the Survival Evolved. It also looks way better. IMO.
The ♥♥♥♥♥ updates, for god sakes, I dont want to spend 5 hours download updates per week, reason why i quit war thunder. and to download 25+ g's for data for what??????? Im not going to rate this game yet I have hardly yet to play it its been downloading for three weeks.
1+ hour for a 100 MB update, bugs galore but hey: You can always use more money to buy a DLC for your DLC so that they can continue not fixing they game.
great game but the biggest fault of the VERY poor vibe coding or engineering that went behind on the back end. better have 300 gigs or so of head room on your install directory or you cant patch the game. serious misstep for wildcard. makes no sense to have an entire PAK sitting at nearly 200 gigs. Learn to develop a game with proper patch cycles.
the wont
great game by wildcard, complete upgrade from it's predecessor. Wildcard has always been a studio that updates things early and works on them as we have access to the content.
