What do you get when you mix Jurassic Park, add in a dash of Sims, and throw in some Halo? You get ARK: Survival Evolved! In 2016 join hundreds of other players as you embark on a journey to find out just how you came to be in this land before time called the ARK. Fighting, cooperating, and taming dinosaurs are all elements you'll experience in this unique twist on the classic game of survival!
Studio Wildcard has launched a 'major' update for ARK: Survival Evolved's modding software, ARK Development Kit, available now.
Survival games have gained a lot of attention early in 2024, but there's more than just Palworld. Here's the best survival games you can play.
Jordan from The Nerd Stash, an Ark enthusiast, shares the differences and changes that players can see between Evolved and the newly released Ascended.
I just had to come by and say that most of these dont work or havent changed from Evolved.
10. Tames still getting stuck on rocks. Dilos are so frustrating to make sure they havent been left behind
9. The interface is still exactly the same, and slower too
8 & 7. are the same thing. Dont care about camera modes
6. Building is slightly tweaked. There are Pros and Cons. Some things are merged to 1 engram, which is good but can be annoying trying to find Railings every time because the image is a square wall :P
5. Tracking is great. Except that you get a marker in the distance for every friend who is taming something, until you manually turn it off per tame. I used to use a mod for a really good tracking device.
4. The new map is visually way better, tho they seem to have removed being able to add waypoints to the map. There is also a shroud over the map which takes a lot of work to open up. At least we can finally see our clan mates (something that never worked in the old game. These guys dont fix faults. They just recreate the same ones)
3. There are no new creatures yet. I dont know how long itll take to get any new content. But the patches are coming in fast, and it already runs way better than it did at launch last friday.
2. Loving the baby dinos
1. The graphics are different. It used to be beautiful already. So I dont care. I just want new stuff.
After all this, they didnt fix any issues and problems that have existed since day one. This new version is pointless. But its too late. I own Ascended now. ill still play it to death. I love Ark either way. Just cant wait for new content. I havent found Vin Diesel in game yet either :)
How do you even think this is anything like the Sims or Halo...
Coolest 2016 game I've seen yet.
It's definitely a looker.
If I buy this on early access, what features would you like me to ask game developers.
This may be my second early access game that I buy.
