[@AlysIThink101]

I'd just like to add that I've been here since your first Ark video (I think I've commented on every one. I shall also choose to ignore the fact that I haven't hugely kept up with your videos since your first Ark series ended, only watching one every now and then) and I'd just like to say that I am incredibly excited for this. This comment will be updated to add any "necessary" palaeo corrections after I finish watching this video. Ok notes (I've skipped the least important ones, such as the fact that it very much rains in Deserts): 1. While most Vultures are mainly scavengers, they do still very much kill things. 2. I know it doesn't really matter, but I'm going to define what exactly a Dinosaur is here. Dinosaurs are/were a group of Reptiles (Specifically Archosaurs) that have been alive for about 230 million years (Or so). Here's a quick guide for identifying what is, and what is not a Dinosaur. If they can fly and aren't a Bird then they aren't a Dinosaur (With a few exceptions) so Pterosaurs (Or as some people incorrectly call them, Pterodactyls) weren't Dinosaurs. If they lived underwater they probably weren't Dinosaurs, so creatures like Mosasaurus weren't Dinosaurs (They were Lizards). If their legs were sprawled out to their sides instead of directly under them then they weren't a Dinosaur (Think Lizards VS Dogs, Birds or Humans). If they weren't a Reptile then they weren't a Dinosaurs, so Dimetrodons (Which were Synapsids, which is the group Mammals are in), Mammoths (Mammals) and Megalodons (Fish) weren't Dinosaurs where as Birds are. I could add more but this is a good enough guide for now. 3. I hope that this doesn't come off as rude. But how does that look even remotely like a Komodo Dragon? Have you seen a Komodo Dragon before? There are no similarities there other than both being Lizards. A closer comparison would be IRL Thorny Devils/Thorny Dragons. While they are much smaller are appear noticeably different, they are at least more similar than them and Komodo Dragons. 4. The reason to do harder difficulties (Not to suggest that you necessarily should if you don't want to) is because the more difficult the boss, the better the tech you unlock (I won't give any specifics because I don't want to spoil anything, but it gets amazing). This probably isn't too relevant to you though, because you don't seem to have decided to transfer over engrams, equipment or character levels (Or any tames, not that that's relevant). I presume that that means that you didn't transfer over your old character, but I haven't played Ark in a while so I could easily be wrong. 5. I'm pretty surprised that you somehow haven't heard of Manticores before, but oh well.

What is this a reference to?

[@DragonMasonHealer]

40:26 "Gift from the gods". 😂 We, who have played Ark for years knew immediately what a fleeing herbivore meant. It means a carnivore isn't too far away. It's a sign to either run or get prepared for battle. Watching gameplay from someone who hasn't played much of Ark Survival games is truly a treasure.

[@timeshark8727]

You had the luckiest scorched earth start I have ever seen. I've never seen anyone start out on scorched earth without the weather eating away at their health from the first second. Its usually a race to get cloth clothes and a thatch hut up before you die of heat. You managed to wander 1/3rd of the way across the map and die a couple of times to predators before having to worry about the temp at all.

[@ButchX3]

You mean this was EASY??!?!

[@Nigolasy]

Yeah.. my first ever spawn on Scorched Earth was during a heat wave (the dark red flame) and I died like 10 times just because of the heat lol

[@DreadEnder]

I love that your first experience with ARK is with Ark Survival Ascended because most reactions to the maps are from people who played the previous game so already know most of it. It’s great to see people’s first reaction in the remaster.

[@oscillis]

The remaster is an absolute fluke and money grab, so I'm not surprised. I genuinely dislike the creators.

[@DreadEnder]

@ I disagree. It’s a brilliant game and the devs put a lot of work into it with massive quality of life and gameplay changes. Yes they did it in part for business they’ve stated as such. But it’s also just a genuinely great game.

[@oscillis]

@ It looks and sounds and acts the exact same as the original game except original ARK players weren't given any chance to upgrade for free despite most paying for all of the original DLC. Have you actually played the original version and the remaster as well or have you been watching KZbinrs?

[@DreadEnder]

@ I have over 10,000 hours in ASE and over 2,000 in ASA. Also what do you mean it looks the same??? If you want to ask stupid questions then I’ll ask, are you blind? Also the devs were going to make it for free and have DLC’s be paid but the player-base had a riot over it so they made the game paid and the DLC’s free. And of course the player-base being as toxic as it is they rioted over getting literally what they asked for.

[@oscillis]

@ It was a genuine fucking question, thanks for the unnecessary insulting and questioning of my intelligence and sight. There's no use talking to you if you aren't going to communicate like a regular fucking person in a regular conversation. I hope you realize how reactive you are. It doesn't help you feel better.

[@angrydrunkengerman2819]

Rule 1 of Ark: never, EVER take out a tame for exploring until you have a mated pair at home. Breed 2 or 3 of the critters and always have extras. Never leave home with an animal you only have 1 of. Always keep a breeding pair at home.

Hey Butch, we all welcome you back to Ark to see the mighty adventures of the one, the only Dino Slayer once more.

Remember to Save the Game and P.S if you wanna fix the wedge, there are triangle foundations just gotta look hard enough.

[@VNOMALII]

about bloody time lad. i'm a 90s baby myself bro, 93 to be exact, but you're so right. i was saying it the other day that games aren't as enjoyable anymore due to the amount of guides online for whatever you are playing, you can basically get guided to the finish line with your phone propped up next to your pc/console with some guides playing. back in the day, take spyro for example, you'd have no way of finding out how things work besides actually putting the game on, watching and listening to the cinematics, and playing it. you discovered everything on your own terms in your own way, unless you had a friend stay over who has already completed it. people don't play games to explore & have fun anymore... they play to win and complete a game instead of getting immersed into the world and discovering things. it is all about "how do i do this to get that" or "best way to farm this, or that".... completely strips the fun out of any game when you take the discovery element away. quick tip on thyla.... if you want the metal and obsidian on the cliff, tap & hold space while walking into the cliff wall. thylas are climbers. you're welcome :)

[@Holmes108]

I don't understand how you're not dying to heat! I could never sprint around as much as you did in the initial minutes without dying. Lucky on the temps I guess. So excited to have more Ark content from you though!

Holy hell, that's a LOT of progress and what a long episode as well. :D It's great to have you back in Ark! It makes me want to finally install Survival Ascended myself. There are 2 things I'd like to mention. First, as you saw the obelisks only display one boss that you can teleport to. And I'll just be blunt: Scorched Earth is the smallest main story map in terms of content. So this might not be as long of a series - and that's before even taking into account how much more experienced you are this time around. Second... just a little nod at the furry little guy at 5:34 .

She was stuck halfway up a waterfall and I had no idea how to save her. There was no internet to just look it up. I actually ended up having a dream about lowering a rope to get her and the moment I woke up I ran to the computer to try it. It was exactly what I needed to do.

Trauma and suffering, just what we wanted :) Welcome to the desert. Only Butch could find argies before finding moths! Hint: the southernmost part of the river is a great base location. About the sandstorm, it makes you not recover stamina, and sand goes down your crack and up your inventory. Mod recommended: Solo Farm, it makes you able to farm easier on solo, the same way people farm on servers with more people, so it is not cheating, just making it fair.

So glad to see my favorite #1 Ark KZbinr back for more of my favorite game! So excited to see how it goes! I am curious why you didn't transfer your character over from The Island. Butch, you're a pro Ark player. Knowing that Thyla and Argent are clutch tames. You're truly an ascended survivor. Protip: drag a torch to your tame's saddle. You're welcome. Lastly, Scorched Earth is a short play. Maybe 1/4 the time of the island. Don't get too caught up on long-long-game strategies. Also, on a side note, your Grounded playthrough got me to play it, and I enjoyed it significantly less. But still fun.

Butch I just want to say that as a gamer I do not like watching other people play very often, but i love all your videos. One of my fave content creators. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@KazlinGaming]

Oh how I've been anticipating this moment!!!!

[@RichardBurr-or-Povall]

Yeeeees! Dude, I binged your last series of ARK in a few days last month and it got me hooked! I die a lot more than you (show) do but there we go. Very excited that this is back! And as a teacher, I appreciate the inability to find peeps to play with that fit in to the schedule. Anyway, thanks for the entertainment and this was my life story Ted talk! Keep it coming

Yooooo man let's gooo the man the myth the the best UK gamer of all time is back!

Best intro to SE, get eaten by a raptor. Welcome to a hard start

Also, @ButchX3 Always have a Jerboa on you and learn the sounds they make 5 minutes before the weather changes. For each weather event there's a different signal, this way you won't be caught off guard by sandstorms or superheats, which are the most dangerous of the events (Sandstorm: Low vis and stamina drain. Superheat: scorching hot temps but great for the legendary phoenix to spawn)

[@TheARKMimic]

Welcome to Scorched Earth - that is the way every first log in to SE is...love this map

[@corvinredacted]

This is the first video I've seen from this channel and it was so fun and refreshing watching someone organically explore my favorite game completely blind. I will definitely be catching up on his Island playthrough as I wait for the next installment!

[@armangamer67]

I would recommend getting bobs tall tales it contains so many amazing additons to the game and makes it way more fun!

[@GreenMachine1365]

C'mon now... our man Butch claims to be a proper Brit and doesn't recognize the manticore, a classic amongst his people's heraldry since the early days of gits on ponies? Glad to see him back for more Ark punishment.

I like the black bars whenever narration Butch takes over
