I like to PvP, and PvE. Usually wearing an Exo Suit nowadays. Unlocking it is easy with no cheats needed anymore, and usually on a server, official or unofficial, sometimes for 100 days. Single Player is great though, certainly with a guide for any platform be it switch, xbox, ps4, ps5, pc, steam, epic, it's great. Sometimes play MTS, and usually post patch/update. But a survival game needs some community news and that's what I do, giving you the latest on events, small tribes, usually covering all maps from Island to Fjordur. And one day. ARK 2!

I still couldn’t imagine coming into a game this gorgeous and go “I need to turn this beautiful landmass into a barren waste covered in inconveniently placed floors” I’d never have the patience for PVP

[@101joebro]

That's because you don't know the 1000s of dollars you can make

Can I ask what your basic specs are ? I've been quite excited for this, but now not sure I can run it. I have a GTX 3060, 32 GB Ram and a Ryzen 5 3600. thx :) Oh, and whats the base install size, same as ASE ?

[@trevorfrench6123]

Lol classic ark

[@Necrokhanthemad]

People saying "3080 barely runs" or "insert graphics card barely runs". I'm running it on quite an old card and it's fine, of suggest you consider that there is more to a computer than the graphics card and what is likely lacking is your other specs like CPU and RAM. If you are running from a fairly full SSD, that'll also cause you problems.

[@repaeR_ehT]

No way this is the game Raas and other creators will play on and with together for mod series and other things. Cant wait!

i laughed so hard when he did the laugh emote and then laughed himself identically to the emote.

It basically feels like ark earlier had bones and muscles, now it got the skin.

THAT MENU MUSIC 🔥🔥🔥IM SO EXCITED FOR ASA (don't got a pc yet so I'm saving for it)

[@abasiczombie.]

They need to put back the item name when collected, not just the icon

[@KsnypsAdventures]

Damn, they just made a new game. Like, literally. This is not the Ark as i know it. Simply The fact you can lose your sense of direction in the forest because of How dense the foliage is makes you feel like this is something new. And Everything looks so realistic, even the flames coming from my PC

[@ohiograssman1564]

I got lost in the foliage on the old one 😅

You can switch off and on the movement speed for the player and dino in settings but honestly I like the challenge!

Does it make it like before where you could/have to level speed or is it a universal thing like all players speed is set to 140 or whatever?

I like the challenge as well buzzing for console release

[@HakunaMatata_3280]

@@potato0fdoom267 I'm not sure to be honest. However, the point system that we had before and the settings we didn't have before are somewhat balanced. With mods that had to be installed for a better experience without installing them now is amazing! The options are great! Without fixing it to your liking honestly it's pretty smooth and when you sprint it already looks like you're somewhat close to out running a raptor??😅

Glad they made that an option instead of a blanket ban

Removing the speed stat is gonna change ark pvp alot

[@Finnbobjimbob]

If there's hitching when running a mix of Medium and High on a 4080 then the devs need to do some serious optimisation as even CP2077 can be run on Ultra everything by that gpu.

Looks amazing. I wanna play it but I gotta finish my own things and get my new PC up along with my new desk😢😂 This is insane 😳

[@sledgedragon2677]

I actually love the fact that they removed movement speed because my biggest issue with PVP was getting raped by sonic with a bat within seconds with zero warning. It's even worse when you give sonic a sniper rifle.

[@RebeccaBrunner]

Added points if they're blasting green hill zone through their mic

[@Redo717]

The game itself isn't bad but the requirements is, the recommended requirements cant even get a constant 60fps on low settings

What GPU u have ?

I did 3070 and got probably 60fps or less but still playable. 1080p, medium settings button, turned off rtx. Too many crashes to do more testing. High and epic definitely unplayable for me
