Still have yet to play this one....

Alexious2858d ago

Just don't, you'll save yourself time and money.

TheSaint2857d ago

I enjoy the game but in it's current state I couldn't recommend it to anyone. It was fun in the beginning but Wild Card made it worse with nearly every patch.

meka26112858d ago (Edited 2858d ago )

Ah don't listen to alex the game is fun, especially with friends. Proly not $60 fun, but still good. It will get old after awhile but every game does eventually.

vallencer2858d ago

Id try it yourself if you get a chance. My friend and i have put about 250 hours into it since we got it a year ago. If you like survival games its up their with being one of the best.

Elwenil2858d ago

This game is not the best at anything and for $60, it's not worth the cost to give it a chance. If someone wants to try it, I highly recommend waiting until it's down to $20 or so. There are some things in Ark that you can't really do anywhere else but it's just not a complete game by any stretch of the imagination and not worth the $60 price. Especially not with the way the developer "fixes" bugs and other issues.

Chexs19902857d ago

The core gameplay is quite fun, but the game runs horribly on consoles.
The Devs were too busy creating an expansion to sell (while in early access), to stabilize frame rate and optimize UI design.
So no, it's essentially still a work in progress and therefore not worth the asking price.

This game is already old news. *snore*

Ninjamonkey822858d ago

Its great for new players, but for early access players it a kick in the teeth

JackBNimble2858d ago

Well at least we still have legacy servers and if you're lucky you didn't lose all your shit.

Findingcrybabies2858d ago

look at their track record for failures and delays. You can't trust a word they say. The game is fun, but to believe anything these idiots say is a bad idea. Their own fans hate them....for valid reasons. Ark is bad ass though.

yeahokwhatever2858d ago

the problem with all of these games is that you either have to put all of your time into them, or not play them at all.

Glad, I’m about to downgrade when they raise the price. For me, I don’t really access much or care about the games they have in the library and if I do, it’d be cheaper to just buy them over time rather than stick to some expensive subscription model.

crazyCoconuts3d ago

When you're new to the service you've got an avalanche of games to play. After you catch up, I agree, it's not worth it beyond the Essential tier for me.
That being said, the Essential tier is the best deal in console gaming imo, based on the monthly games you get to keep.

Profchaos2d ago

Yeah same will be downgrading $214 aud is insane and we don't even get the streaming capabilities in Australia which they said would make the top level subscription cheaper.

If i was to just buy the games I actually play that come to the service id be far better off.

Ill keep the essential tier to retain the games ive collected since the ps3 and for mp but I'm not convinced of the premium tiers value any more

victorMaje2d ago

Went back to essential a few months ago. I’m buying more physical and it has helped in finishing more games.

Profchaos2d ago

Tend to agree if i go to the trouble of buying a disc ill typically finish it

Alos883d ago

Extra is probably the best value for money right now, Premium doesn't have anything special enough to justify paying the additional imo.

OtterX3d ago

*unless you have a Portal & you catch Premium on discount during Days of Play or Black Friday.

Yea, I really do wish they'd up their effort on Premium titles, but allowing a large catalog of titles that can stream to your Portal without even having to use your PS5 is pretty awesome. We travel about 2 hours to stay with my inlaws from time to time, so it's been pretty killer to only need to take my Portal for that!

andy853d ago

Yup if you have a portal premium is the best tier for sure

KyRo2d ago

Extra has been getting worse and worse each month. I've had it since it's launch and it's been great to play some games I may not have played but the selection has been declining rapidly for a while now. My sub runs out in August and I'll be going back to essential. They actually add games to that which are more appealing.

jznrpg3d ago

Add some more classics with trophies. Vagrant Story first

OtterX3d ago

Nice choice. I agree!

Jeanne D'Arc was my favorite PS+ catalog title from last year & I Platinumed it!

Eonjay3d ago

I like Ridge Racer, Tekken and Grandia. Add Xenogears, digimon World 3, Classic GTA and ill be happy

jznrpg3d ago

Jeanne D’Arc was great!

@Eonjay there is a Grandia collection available for PS4, I’m not sure if it’s been on plus already or not

darthv723d ago

cloud streaming to the portal, without using the ps5, is the selling point of premium to me.

Obscure_Observer3d ago

If the consumers are happy, Sony is even happier.

It is what it is.
