The woods are so much scarier now... A bronto litterally got my heart pumping because I couldn't see what it was... all I saw was a tail and the trees moving
Huh, this video surprised me: I honestly overall prefer ASE simply due to the grey rock. The new plants, water, etc, look great, but that beige-yellow stone is absolutely hideous.
My problem with this game is that it has the wrong rocks now, ASE was correct with its rocks being a dull gray and even ash or black as its a volcanic island full of igneous rocks, now the rocks are all sedimentary which would make almost no sense for it to form like this
True, but it is a completely artificial island with genetically modified creatures on a space station orbiting the post-apocalyptic Earth so realism is kinda out of the window here lol
@lyndathekitsune in that case sedimentary formation would be more likely since sedimentary landscapes and bedrock would be easier to find than igneous formation since there aren't exactly a plethora of volcanos around. I'm not saying that the creators of the Arks(in lore)were strapped for time but they still had a time limit.
I may go for the same spot that my tribe and I used to play on back when we first stated, due to there not being a whole lot of places due to a toxic player who had been playing for *much* longer and had stumbled onto a fairly empty server and proceeded to pillar *everywhere* in order to prevent people from building up. This was before they changed the settings to require people to log in and refresh timers. We ended up building on a small rise in the SE corner of the map, just off the beach. There's that one artifact cave, the one with all of the spiders and bats. Exit the cave, walk over to the water, and then turn to face the cave entrance. Pan upwards to the cliff and you're at the location. Not a wide area, with two large land ramps leading upwards to it, but it was relatively flat. Didn't really have any predators pop in either. I think we had the odd Dilo that wandered up that we had to worry about.
@@damiancatchingzs No worries about the toxic player. He was just a pissy player who liked having in game power and didn't like that we didn't cower away from him and actually stood our ground. We reported him and he knew it. We initially got into it with them because we claimed a spot he had opened up for his buddy to claim when we initially left the beginner server. Not against the rules, so sucks to be him. He did initially ask us to move, but wouldn't open up any other areas for us, so we said to take a hike. He started griefing and then got mad when we started implementing PvP base defense tactics on him. I was working part time then, so I had plenty of time to look up things and start converting areas of our base into solely defensive areas. I even had time to raise up a veritable army of pack tames that I placed around the base locations to counter anything wild he would try to kite in. He one time kited in a swarm of those bloody fliers that inflict bleed when they attack things. Got a few salty messages about the new defenses. At one point, I had the strongest raptors, wolves, dilos, and Allos on the server. I even started handing out replacement dinos to the ones he griefed on our server. New beach player gets griefed? Here's some older dinos and enough stuff to get yourself back onto your feet. Even upgraded their equipment. They'd go from hide armor to having a full set of metal/riot gear. With my work schedule, I was the one who got to focus on things like resource gathering and tame raising. When I wasn't at work, I was online. Imagine it... I basically took away his fun. Dude griefs a newbie, gets a laugh about it... and then comes back to find said beach bob rocking high level tames and gear and in a defensive base. I'd even do things like standing guard while they were building things up to give them a chance. I had a lot of free time back then... and was admittedly petty af towards him lol Dude ultimately did himself in though. Was up late with one of my tribe mates and we had the half asleep idea that maybe he streamed, so we went looking... and immediately snapped away when we found the dude's channel. Even found a few instances of when he interacted with us as we called him out on his bs so we were fairly certain that we had found his channel. He streamed... *everything* toxic that he did. both on our PvE server and the PvP servers. Turns out our self proclaimed PvP pro was nothing more than a griefer who roamed beaches picking off new players and hitting small out laying things like rafts. Never raided a main base or anything. Provided all of the evidence we needed for our report... and I may have passed on some info to the people he griefed on PvP as well. Completely petty I know... but he did kind of deserve it. It culminated in him getting distracted from our server to the point where his base near green ob despawned... and we swooped in to claim the area and turned it into our new base building area. We were in the process of doing that when they shut down SE online.
That’s my current base spot in asa and I love it :) a little out of the way as it’s in the se corner but so many resources and the river inlet to the west has some good spawns occasionally, right neat to the ocean for my glaucuses as well lol
I hope they optimize the game better so we actually can run it with decent grafics. Honestly i think it will run better when they release som updates, as ase was badly optimized at the start
If you have a decent computer go for ascended. If you never played evolved then ascended is the way to go. If you already have evolved, then ascended is kinda like an upgrade but watching youtube videos is enough to get the feel of it instead of spending money on it. Up to you.
I don't think the dinosaurs look noticeably different. I hate the ridiculous fog (I turned it off). And I hate that I can't see the dinos underwater from over the water. And I hate that larkator doesn't work anymore. But I like the new dinos. I also have a 4080 super and my computer has to run fans hard for this. I hate that I like this game at all.
I hate the amount/height of the foliage/grass in ASA, luckily there is an option to turn off the grass in commands in-game. Now I can see what I'm actually doing!
@@damiancatchingzs Now if they could just stop the dinos from sticking their heads through what are supposed to be solid walls & killing us.... and maybe turn down the default spawns on the Icthy.... You know, like NOT make the most hated critter in the game, the most populous thing on the map.

Ehhh...this is a money grab. Why pay for the same game. Sorry but I'm happy with my evolved. They can't seem to do anything new and it's crazy that people are paying so much for a change of skin. I have been playing games for 30+ years and it's a sad state to see gaming go so low. Having to use platforms like steam is bad enough.
ark survival evolved with the building mechanics would be the best option. caus i dont need better graphics with huge fps drops. even with i9 and 3090 u get huge fps drops, many times server crashes, and the same bugs like evolved. but evolved is better for pvp i like my generators as i know them. with ascended u can only place 3 close by. i want my cables back. gens without cables sucks. ark was nearly perfect. only thing sucks was the building mechanics. to lower shit was a quest. xD thats far better in ascended. but to take the bugs with in ascended thats something wildcard/snailgame really messed up. why desync why grapple bug? that is really annoying
Yea but then u got people like me who are on console so personally I find being able to get mods worth it in of itself, all of the building and graphics upgrades are just a bonus
Base locations would be more specific tho. How would you do the comparison if it was up to you? Cuz i thought most popular locations comparison is the way to go.
Az eredeti Ark sokkal szebb élethűb. A fegyverek a sziklák sokkal valósabb rozsdásak stb....

This is a mod. Period. If people can't understand that they are paying for a mod they deserve to get ripped off. This company has been pulling stunts like this for years.
Not sure how many hours u spent playing asa, but after spending roughly 200 hours on asa, i can say it doesnt feel like a mod. And considering the other maps are getting added too, im pretty happy. This is the game that they wouldve released the first time around if they werent a new indie studio.
@@damiancatchingzsfor me ITS that Dinos weak af and some little super OP or that T-Rex is Trash now and more and more its just a noob Version of ark for the dad that wanna Play drunk
Honestly prefer the original map over the new ARK SA map, the new map is TOO much nonsense... it's ugly. Personally ARK SA is a total waste in my opinion of UR5's engine for ARK they could have used UR5 to make the game run beautifully but chose to overly graphic up the wazoo the game to a point that so few can run the game reliably. I HATE just about everything about ARK SA as a result. I so want some of the improved features of ARK SA but.. they ruined it with the graphics. I wish people would just get off their high horse when it comes to always having to have bigger, badder graphics. Imagine how huge bases could have been if they didn't up the graphics to an insane degree with ARK SA? I mean I expected because of the engine, lighting/shading and a few other things would be dramatically improved, but what they did in my opinion is unacceptable. I wanted UR5 ARK for reasons other than Graphics, mostly to replace the old engine ARK ran on.
I would say i somewhat agree. I also expected slightly improved graphics, but majorly improved gameplay experience overall. But yes now they made it so that the casual ark players cant really run the game properly.
If this is early access, why is everyone willing to pay 50 dollars for it? I mean, Ark Survival evolved on early release was like 20. They are charging you 50 for halve a game 🤔
I agree, but the reasoning is quite simple, and its the same reason why they mandatoey had to release the game in october. Funds. If they didnt release it in October, wildcard studio would have shut down. And if its 20 dollars, it wouldnt be enough to cover the costs.
@@damiancatchingzs that is because their creator invested 1 billion dollars in a failing car business which yall just now sponsored her poor choice. I want to play..trust me … but at some point we need to stop making poor choices. Unless yall want Ark Ascended to go again in a 5 year early access charade. How do you think we will make Ark Devs and Business partners change? They will keep screwing us up because they know how yall will buy anything unfinished by them for full price.
@@clicklink123 while your motivation and point is true, based on what you said, it seems you have little knowledge in the business world. But regardless, simply put, they cant just "change" anything like that. Those contracts are legally binding, and if they didnt do those contracts, ASE would've been gone by now.
@@damiancatchingzs dude, the head of the game company wasted millions on a car making company. All the money it made from Ark. that is why the developers had to bend down to nitrado and increase the price for a game halve done game…again. If the person in charge of Ark monetary wise is investing Ark money and no money is put into ark…how do you think the game will be fixed properly. They never finished fixing the old version. Now we expect them to do better? 🤔
To be fair, the new terrain is _literally_ bigger. Replicating the camera angles would make ASA look better even if jo graohica had changed because we'd be farther away from the textures and models.
i personally really like the yellow-ish color pallete, it makes it more tropical and the tall grass really feels like real jungle, cuz thats what the island was intended to be: a jungle island with some snow in the north :) nice video
Completely agree. I also really love the tall grass and heavy foliage. I feel like it makes the dino's more intimidating because they could be lurking anywhere. I only play PVE though so I'd imagine the grass is frustrating for PVP players
@@damiancatchingzs Its the Lumen lighting of UE5 bouncing off the rock textures and sand. If you were in a white room with sand colored tinted glass floor with lights below, the white walls above would be tinted sand color. Its called bounce lighting and global illumination, which is also why the game is incredibly hard to run on older hardware.
jungles are dense forests. savannas are open plains... "savanna-jungle" makes no sense bro. the term savanna literally means "treeless plains". just saying lol
@@vexouz2593can you lower your graphic settings on console yet? Last I checked you can’t and wildcard doesn’t intend to add that, takes away from the combat of pvp
What I find insane is people actually bought this pos. It's just ARK with graphic updates and some changes here and there... They could have just updated ARK and called it good but greed pays.
ASA looks better graphically for sure, but artistically the gray rocks in ASE added more contrast making some shots more pleasing to look at. The brown rocks are so dull and makes landscapes seem de-saturated.
@@damiancatchingzsits also geologically incorrect (at least for further away from the shore) since the gray rocks are igneous rocks which was formed by volcanic eruptions
@@ThePrimordialArchon Lore-wise the arks are not logically correct, there are in game document explaining that, just for reference, the whole point is this arks are made to harbour some inconsistencies as they are artificial and constructed to be the way they are, aka that volcano was not the source of the terrain in the island
i have to disagree. the entire color revamp of ASA is extremely saturated, you tend to be right with the contrast but, ASE is more dark, and oldy bland in comparison. regardless i have not played ASA and i don't intend to with the whole ark 2 and snail games controversyt
The yellow palette is definitely interesting but granted how much I don’t like the color yellow I’m still partial to the atmosphere the old game gives off with the blue hue, maybe it’s just a reimagination of the island but I really hope every map isn’t yellow washed like this one, the game is definitely beautiful and the texture is great but the entire map looking extremely yellow is kind of distracting.
The fog coming out of the jungle at night makes things very terrifying. Troodons and raptors coming I. Through the tall grass was pretty awesome. We were searching for metal nodes and our party was killed by troodons. I escaped only to end up facing off against an Alpha raptor. It was great
ASA is surprisingly amazing. Wild Card has outdone themselves even with the severe setbacks and limits thanks to their greedy and incompetent ruler- sorry "Publisher".
@@arkangelgaming35 indoors dont look shitty anymore. Especially when its raining and the indoor lighting is in sync with the weather outside. It feels amazing
From my own playtime, it looks and feels like they straight up scaled the entire map up. I'd have to go back and play SE Island to be sure, but there are spots I built bases at ages ago that feel significantly larger now in the new release. It's crazy.
Eastern plains lake was my home for years ❤ what a lovely makeover. Never had a dire bear come my way though thankn god. Brontos, parasaurs, troodons, raptors and the occasional rex or giga on very rare occasion were my usual intruders. 😅 gorgeous spot 10/10.
I was surprised to notice that some things look better in ASE and are more practical by being bigger when building huge structures and you don't wanna search for resources but just farm em. I was going into this thinking ASA will be better in everything. That yellow thing does disturb me now when you said it, before I didn't notice it so thanks for that!
Still ASA ain't worth it, why change many maps with many mods for 1 map with 1 mod. I would probably have bought it if they given all the maps at once, because then it would have been an upgrade and modders would have got their mods up to date after a while.
Only the cave and the ice-area look better than Classic ark. But all Land and Water areas look in classic ark much better.... Rocks and Water especially.... When this is the new "better" version I stay with the old...
Fair enough if you think so. I have already spent several hundred hours on it and it feels completely different as an experience compared to the first template of a game they launched over 7 years ago. If your hundreds of hours playing ASA make you feel that way, then i cant change your mind 😁
I bought this game on my ps5 and pc. If I have it on normal settings on my pc 30 fps if I have it on the lowest settings 45 fps. If I use my ps5 it just crashes Fuck ark
Idk man i really love ark but 50$ for only the island? i get their reasonings for that price but with that you need to spend at least 2k on a pc just to run this game....
The pc part is true. The reason why i think is worth it, is cuz for few months you play the island, then a new map comes out. And a new map will come out all the way until late 2025. So thats pretty worth to pay 50 bucks but have something to play till late 2025

gens without cables sucks.
ark was nearly perfect.
only thing sucks was the building mechanics. to lower shit was a quest.
xD thats far better in ascended.
but to take the bugs with in ascended thats something wildcard/snailgame really messed up.
why desync why grapple bug? that is really annoying
That actually would be an ideal scenario. ASE with the nice few features from ASA
Yea but then u got people like me who are on console so personally I find being able to get mods worth it in of itself, all of the building and graphics upgrades are just a bonus
Not a fan of how many little rocks and stones there are on the beaches lol
Yeah there are quite a lot
as it is in reality
Cant wait to play this game on the lowest settings to have it somewhat playable without buying a 3k pc
2k pc over here xD running like butter
@@damiancatchingzsfr Bro? Can I ask what grafics card you’re using and what settings? :D
i just played afford ascended... first tim playing an ark game...my god it runs like dogpoop
The Island blows, wanna see already Ragnarok and Valguero
And i wanna see Fjordur. Cant wait!
@@damiancatchingzs I didnt like Fjordur, that map feels rushed and illogic. It has some cool structures and thats it
I can barely run ark on medium graphics 😭
😂😂😭 sorry
Game runs awful
What specs u got?
PERO LOS PAYASON PIENSAN QUE QUE NO SE VEN LOS CAMBIOS 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I dont understand 😂
@@damiancatchingzs better
si no te gusta no lo veas pues :V
@@Alazzard tu piensas que asa se ve igual a ase?
THORCUBED VIVEÉEEEEEEEEE
Ark survival evolved or Ark survival ascended
Evolved will always feel like home, but ascended is like a great new game. So idk 😂
they removed the Wyverns. THEY REMOVED THE WYVERNS. Im not playing this game
Didn't feel like a comparison, feels like a "top 10 base location video"
Just my opinion
Base locations would be more specific tho. How would you do the comparison if it was up to you? Cuz i thought most popular locations comparison is the way to go.
If it was comparison,i would try to differentiate the terrain difference and other such details btw the 2 games.
Az eredeti Ark sokkal szebb élethűb. A fegyverek a sziklák sokkal valósabb rozsdásak stb.... A kövek nem leeresztenek mint valami lufi, az asa egynél ennyi hibát repülőkövek túlsó köd fú rengeteg hiba a karakter mesés nem élethűb lett a 2 gyermekeim is azt mondta sokkal szebb a régi mint az új a gyerekek nem hazudnak.
This is a mod.
Period.
If people can't understand that they are paying for a mod they deserve to get ripped off. This company has been pulling stunts like this for years.
Not sure how many hours u spent playing asa, but after spending roughly 200 hours on asa, i can say it doesnt feel like a mod. And considering the other maps are getting added too, im pretty happy. This is the game that they wouldve released the first time around if they werent a new indie studio.
@toyboxskits1341Being a "remaster" is one thing. They are calling it many things totally different.
Is is bad that I like most of the original better
Not at all. Im super attached to the original as well.
I prefer ase
not a fan of ascended sometimes you should just leave stuff alone
Its the same game...😂
If u say so
Just don’t like asa.. not a fan of
Sorry to hear that. When you played it, what part you didnt like the most?
@@damiancatchingzsfor me ITS that Dinos weak af and some little super OP or that T-Rex is Trash now and more and more its just a noob Version of ark for the dad that wanna Play drunk
Honestly prefer the original map over the new ARK SA map, the new map is TOO much nonsense... it's ugly. Personally ARK SA is a total waste in my opinion of UR5's engine for ARK they could have used UR5 to make the game run beautifully but chose to overly graphic up the wazoo the game to a point that so few can run the game reliably. I HATE just about everything about ARK SA as a result. I so want some of the improved features of ARK SA but.. they ruined it with the graphics. I wish people would just get off their high horse when it comes to always having to have bigger, badder graphics. Imagine how huge bases could have been if they didn't up the graphics to an insane degree with ARK SA? I mean I expected because of the engine, lighting/shading and a few other things would be dramatically improved, but what they did in my opinion is unacceptable. I wanted UR5 ARK for reasons other than Graphics, mostly to replace the old engine ARK ran on.
I would say i somewhat agree. I also expected slightly improved graphics, but majorly improved gameplay experience overall. But yes now they made it so that the casual ark players cant really run the game properly.
Makes a graphics comparison video, makes it in 1080p 👎
Scam
If this is early access, why is everyone willing to pay 50 dollars for it? I mean, Ark Survival evolved on early release was like 20. They are charging you 50 for halve a game 🤔
I agree, but the reasoning is quite simple, and its the same reason why they mandatoey had to release the game in october. Funds. If they didnt release it in October, wildcard studio would have shut down. And if its 20 dollars, it wouldnt be enough to cover the costs.
@@damiancatchingzs that is because their creator invested 1 billion dollars in a failing car business which yall just now sponsored her poor choice. I want to play..trust me … but at some point we need to stop making poor choices. Unless yall want Ark Ascended to go again in a 5 year early access charade.
How do you think we will make Ark Devs and Business partners change? They will keep screwing us up because they know how yall will buy anything unfinished by them for full price.
@@clicklink123 while your motivation and point is true, based on what you said, it seems you have little knowledge in the business world. But regardless, simply put, they cant just "change" anything like that. Those contracts are legally binding, and if they didnt do those contracts, ASE would've been gone by now.
@@damiancatchingzs dude, the head of the game company wasted millions on a car making company. All the money it made from Ark. that is why the developers had to bend down to nitrado and increase the price for a game halve done game…again. If the person in charge of Ark monetary wise is investing Ark money and no money is put into ark…how do you think the game will be fixed properly. They never finished fixing the old version. Now we expect them to do better? 🤔
Ark 1 look so much better
The new graphics made the old terrain looks like miniature clay models
Yep, i agree 200%
To be fair, the new terrain is _literally_ bigger. Replicating the camera angles would make ASA look better even if jo graohica had changed because we'd be farther away from the textures and models.
i personally really like the yellow-ish color pallete, it makes it more tropical and the tall grass really feels like real jungle, cuz thats what the island was intended to be: a jungle island with some snow in the north :) nice video
I absolutely agree with both. But it will still take some time to get used to it, cuz for years we were used to the other version.
Completely agree. I also really love the tall grass and heavy foliage. I feel like it makes the dino's more intimidating because they could be lurking anywhere. I only play PVE though so I'd imagine the grass is frustrating for PVP players
@@ImAmirus i thought i was the only one 😂
@@damiancatchingzs Its the Lumen lighting of UE5 bouncing off the rock textures and sand. If you were in a white room with sand colored tinted glass floor with lights below, the white walls above would be tinted sand color. Its called bounce lighting and global illumination, which is also why the game is incredibly hard to run on older hardware.
jungles are dense forests. savannas are open plains... "savanna-jungle" makes no sense bro. the term savanna literally means "treeless plains". just saying lol
you can make tall grass smaller by lowering the ''folliage'' quality. it actually doesn't affect its quality, but just reduces its quantity
Hmm that seems opposite of what it should be 😂 but good to know thanks
Having everything on low is a must for pvp
Just go into third person mode
@@vexouz2593can you lower your graphic settings on console yet? Last I checked you can’t and wildcard doesn’t intend to add that, takes away from the combat of pvp
@@TropikEmpire"takes away from" or you are gay.
What I find insane is people actually bought this pos. It's just ARK with graphic updates and some changes here and there... They could have just updated ARK and called it good but greed pays.
ASA looks better graphically for sure, but artistically the gray rocks in ASE added more contrast making some shots more pleasing to look at. The brown rocks are so dull and makes landscapes seem de-saturated.
Yeah i have to agree with that partially.
@@damiancatchingzsits also geologically incorrect (at least for further away from the shore) since the gray rocks are igneous rocks which was formed by volcanic eruptions
@@ThePrimordialArchon Lore-wise the arks are not logically correct, there are in game document explaining that, just for reference, the whole point is this arks are made to harbour some inconsistencies as they are artificial and constructed to be the way they are, aka that volcano was not the source of the terrain in the island
i have to disagree. the entire color revamp of ASA is extremely saturated, you tend to be right with the contrast but, ASE is more dark, and oldy bland in comparison. regardless i have not played ASA and i don't intend to with the whole ark 2 and snail games controversyt
The yellow palette is definitely interesting but granted how much I don’t like the color yellow I’m still partial to the atmosphere the old game gives off with the blue hue, maybe it’s just a reimagination of the island but I really hope every map isn’t yellow washed like this one, the game is definitely beautiful and the texture is great but the entire map looking extremely yellow is kind of distracting.
I agree with this. Old game felt palette felt refreshing, this one feels dry. Idk how to explain it, i think what you said is exactly correct.
Thank you for making this. I was wondering what was off about ascended, the yellow tint and color palette are off.
Yep hahah. You are welcome.
Exactly hahah. It still feels off even after a month of playing. How did you like the game?
Some better textures sure, but it mostly looks like a warmer colour, double bloom, and 10x the fog
definitely
The fog coming out of the jungle at night makes things very terrifying. Troodons and raptors coming I. Through the tall grass was pretty awesome. We were searching for metal nodes and our party was killed by troodons. I escaped only to end up facing off against an Alpha raptor. It was great
@@TheRealHeavyGthat sounds epic
ASA is surprisingly amazing. Wild Card has outdone themselves even with the severe setbacks and limits thanks to their greedy and incompetent ruler- sorry "Publisher".
@@arkangelgaming35 indoors dont look shitty anymore. Especially when its raining and the indoor lighting is in sync with the weather outside. It feels amazing
Just curious what you mean by the map being 4 times larger? You mean the Island or like the map that your character holds?
From my own playtime, it looks and feels like they straight up scaled the entire map up. I'd have to go back and play SE Island to be sure, but there are spots I built bases at ages ago that feel significantly larger now in the new release. It's crazy.
The entire island is massively scaled up.
You know what, not that you guys say that, it does feel bigger. I thought it was just my imagination
Maybe they just kinda stretched out the map
i never got that feeling honestly...
My take on the long grass is they're trying to make you use 3rd person so when ARK 2 comes out and forces 3rd person, you're already sorta used to it.
That is an interesting theory, and is definitely possible.
Eastern plains lake was my home for years ❤ what a lovely makeover. Never had a dire bear come my way though thankn god. Brontos, parasaurs, troodons, raptors and the occasional rex or giga on very rare occasion were my usual intruders. 😅 gorgeous spot 10/10.
I agree its one of my favorite spots too 😍 and now it is even larger and nicer
Yeah I've never seen Dire Bears over there either not sure where that info came from
I can afford ascended.
But i cant afford the storage.
Cause i already have normal ark.
Yeah having both arks is a luxury. I guess you gotta delete the normal one.
@@damiancatchingzs hm
Nah I'm good.
''Dinos are much more realistic'' U mean their AI right ? cause they changed nothing apart from that
Their AI, their models have more polygons, and textures are in 4k. Of course those stuff only load that way in highest resolution settings.
@@damiancatchingzs really ? doesnt look like that to me, they seem so ''cartoony'' and out of place
Ark is full of exploits remove the trees the rocks the water and your PC will run fine, and you can see other players Ez use INI Ez Kill in PvP
Didnt know that 😂 thanks for the tip
I was surprised to notice that some things look better in ASE and are more practical by being bigger when building huge structures and you don't wanna search for resources but just farm em. I was going into this thinking ASA will be better in everything. That yellow thing does disturb me now when you said it, before I didn't notice it so thanks for that!
Still ASA ain't worth it, why change many maps with many mods for 1 map with 1 mod. I would probably have bought it if they given all the maps at once, because then it would have been an upgrade and modders would have got their mods up to date after a while.
@amadeuz819 id say get it now, its got alot of work to be dkme for sure but the funding should help progress, such as hiring actually capable people
Only the cave and the ice-area look better than Classic ark. But all Land and Water areas look in classic ark much better.... Rocks and Water especially.... When this is the new "better" version I stay with the old...
Can you tell me what is the first background music of your video please ?
Honestly prefer ark: SE for it's pvp, building, simplicity and framerate.
personaly i like Ascended Visuals a lot so many changes :D
Yeah very true
It's the same POS, with new lighting
for an extra 30$. Why are people so impatient ? Lmao. Just wait for the actual new game
Fair enough if you think so. I have already spent several hundred hours on it and it feels completely different as an experience compared to the first template of a game they launched over 7 years ago. If your hundreds of hours playing ASA make you feel that way, then i cant change your mind 😁
@damiancatchingzs I tried it again. Don't get me wrong nostalgia is a hell of a drug. But let's call it what it is
I bought this game on my ps5 and pc.
If I have it on normal settings on my pc 30 fps if I have it on the lowest settings 45 fps.
If I use my ps5 it just crashes
Fuck ark
Idk man i really love ark but 50$ for only the island? i get their reasonings for that price but with that you need to spend at least 2k on a pc just to run this game....
The pc part is true. The reason why i think is worth it, is cuz for few months you play the island, then a new map comes out. And a new map will come out all the way until late 2025. So thats pretty worth to pay 50 bucks but have something to play till late 2025
All changes are good… coming from a php player since 2017… love the new game heaps more for every reason
