[@MK-cz5lt]

​@@Monk_Unc yh pve is fun to play but pvp is awesome if playing woth a group but the shot part is that most alpha tribes wipe everything they dont give a chance to others to grown a bit if ur a solo player then there is no point going for pvp and most ppl dont wanna tribe up and bigger tribes dont want new ppl coze they think u wil steal 😂

I must admit that after finishing that beautiful game (I played with my brother) I decided to write some kind of diary about Ark. I decribe in it every moment that stayed in our memory, funny situations we had, describe our adventures, you know everything we experienced during playing this. And of course I had a lot of screenshots from game so I can add them to our diary too. This can be very difficult and sad process, and sometimes i have tears in my eyes during writing this but we do that for the future. It's not just a normal dinosaur video game...

Also addition: Do you remember how excited you were when you found out about tranquilizing and you were going to get your first tame? Do you remember how exited you were when you or you and your friends were taming your first rex and thought you were strongest in the world? Do you remember how exited you were when you were going in your very first cave and getting artifact not knowing anything? Do you remember your first server and thinking about conquering it with your friends? Do you remember your first giga and how much time you spent taming it alone or with your friends? Do you remember when you found out about additional arks like scorched earth or ragnarok? Do you remember your first stolen wyvern egg? Do you remember how you messed up when you thought you could bring a giganotosaurus into the fight with boss? Do you remember when you thought few rexes with bad stats could beat alpha broodmother? Do you remember when you found out how op yutyrannus was? Do you remember your very first ascension? This game gave us memories.

I hear you, many fun moments from such a simple game

[@thr2600]

Ark is a game, ark is a universe, ark has politics, ark has wars, ark has united big tribes, ark has the alarm that you set to imprint your baby gigas, ark makes friendships, ark ends friendships but there is something that is much more true that all the above, whoever who have played ark until they know almost everything in the game and how are they working, that people, will never regret playing it

Watching this video made me cry. The memories I had playing this game will forever be remembered, hopefully. I remember playing with my brother on the ps4, I have a memory of my big brother playing with our cousin. I remember when I would be a little bit in the water I would just freak out and put my hands on my eyes. But now no one plays ark in my family anymore... I guess you could say I was the survivor 😢

[@a_random_xenomorph]

Wow. Seeing Ark evolve through the years has really been something. I remember the good old times when even taming your first carnivore made you feel powerful, even if it was just a dilo. Now there's so much that I sometimes struggle to comprehend. Good old glitches and bugs are still there though, that's Ark for you.

Hi jonna

[@covid_guy]

I hate this game , but I love this game .

[@riiddiixx]

Damn Im a sucker for this stuff. I play this game since it released on Xbox and played it on all platforms. Hosted a lot of servers, experienced server wipes because of bugs that wildcard gave us, a lot of unplayable bugs that we had to cope with, some amazing stories to follow in the game but also stories you made yourself, we tamed, breeded, made war but also made peace, I hated this game, loved this game. This is a game to come back to everytime you don't know what to play. This game is another life, and these kinds of videos take you back to everything you experienced and what you went thought, the good and the bad things. Thank you for this, I'm watching this with tears in my eyes

An incredible game that truly captured the hearts and imagination of millions around the globe. The state of Ark Survival Ascended is a depressing one, and we will likely never feel the same way about it the way we did about Survival Evolved, but I truly believe that Ark 2 has the potential to recapture the imagination all over again. Time will tell.

[@ahmedhamza8370]

I first played Ark in 2015 and although it has been a bit on and off at times, it has kept with me for the past 9 years seeing me through primary, secondary and now college. I don’t think I will stop playing it for decades to come. Even if the remaster is a complete upgrade, I don’t think I’ll ever leave it. It’s just… different. Thank you for this. Survivor.

[@LittleDeDTF2]

april 12th, 2020 was the day i bought the game, a friend of mine pushed me into playing it since we were both obsesed with survival sandbox shooters, I started om raganarok, we made a bae near viking bay 1, then we tamed our first dinos, a dilo and a trike, the dilo's name was reaper, and the trike was named hulk. We played 400 hours togheter, then he started having pc issues and left me alone. I have left the game at 1.1k hours, and I will leave it there as a memory, the good times in life.

The adrenaline! The this could be it boys! The god modes… the meshing… and finally unlocking and beating alpha gen 1 and 2 alpha not once but 2x because my missions wiped… pulling out that hammer!!! Being 1 of the only tribes to wipe a fishbowl before servers opened. The sense of accomplishment! The having so much loot that we didn’t offline anymore we wanted to fight for it online raids!! If it didn’t work out fk that timer we despawn all that tek and turrets.. The betrayals…. The revenge!!!! The fucken karma 😂 the satisfaction of grapple glitching a 100 turret wall in cave dmg…. Tek punching into asteroids ☠️ the sound of a grapple dinging when it lands… the fat kits.. the cap suits were the gold! Over capped tek bows 💋 and o boy the meat runs for days… seeing the panic that sets into ppl when they log in and see r hands in their months/years of hard work. The joy when we finish teleporting out of a base with 100 Dino’s packed full of loot after they came online ☠️ the caging and painting dicks and bob on r enemies.. ARK is such a love hate relationship but we all know we live for it! I miss my mountain of loot but it’s been nice to take a break. I’ll be back for sure but not enough maps yet. Beware beach bobs you’re not gonna be safe when I do for all the torture I endured on that beach 😈 it’s 10x fold for u. Just know it will mold u into me 1 day.
