Ark Survival V.1 - Now 40% less likely to melt your GPU! - Games

I don't really mind the UI, it's not as intrusive as the screenshots above. You see a "tribe member has been killed by x" for like 1.5 seconds and it's gone. Just enough time to read it. It lets you notice it . My friends and I have so far been able to tame two triceratops, 2 little spitters, 3 raptors, and a SCORPION. the game is fun, and it can only get better as they optimize it more, also they've been pretty on top of updates. There is so much more to do then what was seen on streams. Everything in this game is used for something. Even the PvP (even if its fps/lag atm) is fun. Once all of that is smooth the pvp will be entertaining. My group and I when we were first getting started after the overnight wipe some guy on a raptor came and started killing us :v: but then we raided some big group's base and they waited till they seen leave before they went in and killed one of our dinosaurs. But we got one of those Jurassic Park gates on our base so now we can store all our dinos inside!

[QUOTE=meppers;47865083]lol when the game crashes you get a "ShooterGame has stopped working" message. they didn't even bother to change the name of the Unreal Engine 4 first person shooter demo that the game is based off of.[/QUOTE] Looking at how unoptimized the game is, it wouldn't be a surprise if they actually didn't know how to change the name

That UI wants me to puke. A 5 year old could design something better, holy fuck.

[QUOTE=Steve Harvey;47877707]What needs to be removed exactly?[/QUOTE] Any character creator in a multiplayer game that lets you make things that out of place needs to be at least heavily overhauled. Also pooping. Why is there pooping? Why does it make that sound? Why do we need this? I don't think there's any way to make that a good feature. Also getting knocked unconscious seems kinda unnecessary, it's only real purpose is to let people do something dumb with your body rather than just let you respawn and play the game again. Stare at a green screen for a few minutes while some guy drags you around before finally killing you, great fun.

That character creation is Reign of Kings all over again.

Why do developers continue to make these cut and paste survival games. They always end up either looking awful or being stuck in early access limbo forever.

This is already a better experience than rust.

And it can be used as fertilizer for crops. Getting knocked out provides options for things like kidnapping, stealing (but not killing), or giving players a chance at being saved if you have friends with you. It also serves a major purpose in taming dinosaurs. And why not let people go crazy with character creation? It's fun.

You know this game actually has all the right implementations of the generic survival shit. Just because its recognizable doesn't mean it is bad, I've had a blast playing this so far

This game continues to get better as you play, because you are able to do more. They weren't kidding with there being 100+ hours of gameplay already.

Getting knocked unconscious allows for prisoners/taming dinosaurs. Most people don't usually drag you around though. You can also take blood from unconscious people to get health packs.

[QUOTE=Avager;47872131](Garry, forgive me) Have you ever seen Rust in the first public test (or whatever that was), when it was free and available for everyone on a single server? That was a horrible piece of shit. So, indeed, hold your pants and wait for it to leave EA or at least reach it further state of development.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but the fucking key point is this is being SOLD, and isn't free. If it's in that shit a state, it shouldn't be being sold.

[QUOTE=PieClock;47879214]Yeah, but the fucking key point is this is being SOLD, and isn't free. If it's in that shit a state, it shouldn't be being sold.[/QUOTE] It is in a much better state (from what I've seen) than Rust was in its weird public test. I will even say that it's in a much better state than DayZ mod and standalone combined (I know it's not that of an achievement ;) ). The only glaring issues are performance and ugly UI (IMO, just the neon font).

The performance and UI are shit, but there is a LOT of solid content already in the game. As far as these early access open world survival games go, this one has A LOT more than most off the bat.

Is it just me.. but looking over this.. is anybody getting huge vibes of rust? Might just be me.

Someone did a pretty good job at painting their armor, it can look pretty good. I'll see if I can find the picture.

Seems like survival game equivalent to goat simulator, lots of obvious joke features and no proper gameplay.
