I'mma have to stand up for the Dev team here, Seeing all recent reviews, I'm actually quite embarrassed, Seriously, the people with negative reviews on this game, WTF?

This game has made AMAZING strides to perfection. The "Bugs and Glitches" some are claiming yet not specifying are more or less sore losers that have no idea what they are doing in a survival game.

I've been with Ark since the beginning, and the Dev team was on point with addressing major issues. Performance? My 2014 Alienware Laptop with a 880m and 2.5ghz quad core plays this game on medium settings. So, if you are running anything less than that, Your PC is probably crap. My current Rig 8700k Intel 1080 32gig memory cakes this game. So optimization is certainly there.

Let's talk about the Cry babies that want something for nothing? Eh? The Devs delivered on Content, Season Pass Cry babies paid 15$ for 3 expansions. Scorch, Aberrations and Extinction. They didn't make it AS THE DEVS said earlier in their development. They wanted each of them to be an expansion 1/3 the cost of the original game. And they certainly didn't want Micro-transactions. So Give these guys and publishing company some credit. Now of those expansions they sold them for $30. So base game, $50, 3 expansions $30, if you didn't get the Season you paid $90.

You want to talk about Atlas? Yeah, I don't believe WildCard had to create a sister company to produce Atlas, They damn right and had every right to challenge the Cry babies Season pass. Atlas is a Pirate Themed game, On the same exact Engine. It is not Ark, It has no Ark theme, It's a Game engine that the Devs are familiar with. And another Title that they want to produce. What is wrong with this?

COD produces a new title every year and people pay $60 every flipping year, for the exact same game every flipping year. Yet no one cries. COD which has been on the exact same game engine since Modern Warfare, OR let's take Assassins Creed. Same exact game engine, Same exact game as all the ones prior. $60.

What it is, is the Ark Community is crap, you people complaining about this game is crap, and honestly, I hope the devs piss you off to leave this community. You are garbage people that are crying for selfish reasons. Atlas wasn't a cash grab, it was an attempt to get into another title. And btw, Atlas is a outstanding game as well. YES buggy for early access. Ark Outstanding game.

These are not games for the softcore player (Even though Ark has made many adjustments for softcore players; and get no credit for it.)

To the Devs. You guys are literally doing a fantastic job, please don't let the negative reviews discourage the work you are doing on either game. Both fantastic Titles. Hopefully, we can recruit less self entitled brats to enjoy the ventures of Ark.

And yes, I still recommend this game.
