So this any good??

It's only early access at the moment so it's a bit buggy. The concept for the game is great and I enjoy it a lot but it has some serious problems, especially on the public servers. The amount of greifing on the PvE servers makes it pointless in trying to start a character online. Myself and my buddies play on local sessions instead.
 
Not to sound like a Nerd, but during the Jurassic period, grass do not yet appeared.

But that is assuming this game took place during the Jurassic age.

Also, latest geological finding suggested that most dinosaurs had feathers.

The game is sci Fi. It's not set on earth. If you're going to nitpick then at least read up on what you are nitpicking.

Its not mean to be serious. This is a game forum remember, not history forum. :wink:

Live watching this game on Twitch. Looks so awesome but don't have the time to jump in right now.
 
I see where they added split screen for the Xbox One. Any chance that means they cleaned up the shimmering, washed out, retina straining crap they tried to pass off as next gen graphics when the preview first dropped?
 
Oh man I played this the day it came out for 2 weeks...it was really a unique experience and so much fun. But then once you tame most animals, build a place and all it becomes incredibly boring. I was done and I never wanted to play it again. Doubt I'll ever play it again.

Did you fight the brood mother? You know there is an end game objective ?
 
There has been some big backlash towards Ark's developers as the game is still in early access on Xbox One and PC and they are going around releasing fully finished DLC expansions for 20 dollars. I wanna know your opinions on this because I think it's completely ridiculous.

Yeah, that kind goes against the whole principle of Early Access. You pay early for it unfinished and get free updates. This is a very poor move on their side. How can an expansion be fully finished when the main game isn't done?

That's what everyone is saying, and only is it in early access for 1 platform, it's on early access for two! Steam reviews have gone from mostly positive to mostly negative recently. The devs shot themselves in the foot for sure.

User reviews:
RECENT:
Mostly Negative (8,246 reviews)
OVERALL:
Mostly Positive (92,248 reviews)

Not only that but there are severely behind schedule with promised updates and fixes, there was supposed to be DX12 fixes/implementations that both PC and Xbox One could gain from yet they are instead going off and making paid DLC. Unacceptable.

Yeah. 100% agree. I have this for Early Access on xbox and there are still bugs sitting there nearly a year later. But they have time to release paid content? Yeah. No.
 
This is why I don't like "early access". Call it what it is: a paid beta test.

DLC doesn't bother me at all normally, but before the game is officially released? No.
 
Game never really appealed to me but a friend has it on PC so there was always a chance of ok I guess I'll get it. But no way will I buy this game in any form after this move. I rarely buy early access games as it is but s*** like this makes me even more hesitant.

Yeah definitely seems weird. I did watch some Twitch game play of the expansion this afternoon though and it looks awesome.
