ARK: Survival Ascended has a ton of quality of life improvements over ARK: Survival Evolved, and while I tried my best to include the most useful or relevant ones, I'm sure I didn't cover ALL of the bases in this video. Let me know in the comments if you guys have come across any other improvements that you want to share with the community!

From my experience so far, despite the bugs and crashes, I think it's worth every penny. It's certainly far more than a "reskin" as some people are calling it. Plus it's only $40 for the base game + ALL of the DLCs, which is significantly cheaper than ASE was.

It is off by default across all gameplay modes, including any and all official servers. While it's true it can be turned on, most players will never have access to it unless they're on an Unofficial Server that enabled it. I consider movement speed to be a "mod" of sorts in ASA, where only a small minority of the playerbase will access it or care about it, which is why the video is framed the way it is.

@@johnengels8017 Sure, but once again most of the playerbase won't experience this or care about it. ASA was clearly designed with the full intention of Movement Speed being removed, hence the naturally faster movement speed/body mechanics and modified attribute allocation. Some players will experience it, I'm not saying you're wrong, but a vast majority won't. You can also tame a bronto in 3 minutes if you tweak the Taming Speeds enough, but that doesn't mean I should mention it in the video.

ASE will run better for you on a PC with lower specs, however support for ASE has pretty much ended, so if you're wanting new content or online play on Official Servers then you're out of luck. In contrast, ASA is currently receiving updates, new dinos, QOL fixes, and online support, however their business model is slimy (as in micro transactions, Pay-To-Win stuff with creature unlocks, etc) If you're just going for a single player experience, either game is fine, but ASE may run better.

Understood - It's not like I'm in Snail Games' pocket so it doesn't matter to me whether or not people buy it. Shady stuff aside though, if this was a different game company that I gave $40 to, I would be blown away by the value. I'm sure I'll end up putting thousands of hours into ASA just like I did with ASE, which makes the investment extremely worth it IMO. Compare that to the price of a movie ticket for only a few hours of entertainment, and it's a no brainer for a lot of people. But I get, don't get me wrong - you do you man :)
