Why are so many youtubers surprised about this? The moment I saw the trailer I was stoked....then I heard it was the guys who made Ark and immediately scratched it off my to do list. They haven't even finished optimizing their last product...Why the hell would anyone trust them with a new one?
@@Ruddy_Games They worked on ARK for years so they do have experience. They had a lot copy and pasted from ARK so that mean less work than working from scratch. They made ridiculous amount of money because they priced ARK + DLC much higher than it should have been. Ported to consoles for FULL PRICE too so they did have the budget to create a larger dev team (not just Instinct Games + some random first-timer recruits) Yeah. So to be fair I don't get where you're coming from.
I feel like at least one of the UI devs or programmers thought it was bullshit marketing for their product and that’s why the menu was just hidden and not explicitly removed. Kind of like Metal Gear Survive and their secret trashing
It's not fun with friends, Atlas is a game built to be played with friends or at least a clan or a guild that you get to know during your gameplay, The game is not for solo players. A lot of stuff has been fixed in less than a week, I'm happy to see the game improve so much in a short period of time. Unfortunately it is early access, But it's still enjoyable enough for me to play it right now even if it's missing content, Plus I got it for $25 instead of $60 so I'm a little glad it's early access.
*Saw the trailer* *Immediate disbelief... Saw the graphics style* "wait isn't that kinda similar to-..." *Noticed developer* "... Yepp..." *Forgets it exists*
thats what everyone shoulda done, but seems that just a few of us can use common sense, I even got friends askin me to buy it and I flat out said - are you mad? well they have it and I dont and I see all the shit and I live happy and sleep sound :D
When I saw it was made my Ark creators I doubted the trailer and expected it to be Ark but with boats and that's exactly what it ended up. Didn't like ugly Ark, don't like this. I wouldn't want to support shady developers who sell DLC before their game even finishes EA.
@@oliviawilliams6204 Yeah, that's what I keep thinking. I don't honestly think the season pass was the reasoning for Atlas. Honestly, if this had been released as a DLC there probably wouldn't be nearly as much backlash. People would probably be pissed and complain that it wasn't in the season pass, but I guarantee that Wildcard would still have made mad money. People would still have bought it and been happy enough with it because it was more Ark content (despite the game's glaring bugs and issues it still has) and no one would've been saying that it was just copy and paste. But oh well, I'm just glad I didn't grab it day one. The one time I show restraint and actually listened. Still feeling burned with Fallout 76, but glad I didn't add Atlas to the wound.
@@Medowokha-bp5lq some people don't like to turn their brains on, they'd rather do it the long way, pre-order the game, play the game, realise it's shit, then bitch about it.
Somewhere along the line it went from paying people to test your game to making people pay to test your game for you. This is how stupid your average gamers are and how devious these corporate machines are.
100% agree with you, I used to test games and got paid $14.00 an hour plus I got a free account to use on my own time to Alpha and Beta, reported bugs back.
@Luke Starkiller Difference being people expect relatively good games from Bethesda, despite the bugs. Who expects a good game from the devs of ARK: Bugs Evolved? I'd say Fallout 76 was the bigger disappointment still. Overall, anyway. I never expected anything good from either of those games, so I can enjoy the hilarity, at least.
Guys you gotta realise making games is pretty difficult i make games but the thing is its not so simple like 1 company cant stress test your game and it be completly fine and they do test everything but the thing is there computers are really powerful so they wont know unless they play on a fucking laptop take note to this before you start getting mad at companys the only companys i agree with joe on is ea and bethesda and maybe rockstar
Did people not play ARK? How can you be surprised Atlas is a reskin money grab from the company that took early access dollars for ARK, made a DLC with it, and tried to sell that DLC back to the same people that paid for it while waiting for the base game (all after Wildcard said they wouldn't put out paid DLC until the core game was out). There's a reason you find the ARK menu for a DLC called Ocean.
Man, Sea of Thieves had a pretty rough launch. It was pretty obvious they were rushed to release early......but at least it wasn't Banjo Kazooie reskinned into a pirate game
I dunno. I could've had way more fun with a Banjo Kazooie reskin than I could've with Sea of Thieves. And at least they would've reskinned a good game, unlike this. Lol.
Bethesda is still worse. Wildcard are known liars and everyone knew this was going to be an ark re-skin going in. Bethesda fucked up their game even worse.
I can understand why you might say this but a lot of people don't understand that they basically had to put out that dlc because they were suffering from a really bullshit lawsuit. It's not the best excuse just I assumed you didn't know that.
@@jure0338 No, it hasn't changed since it went into Early Access, still one of the most unoptimized games of all time, and one of the buggiest with a toxic online community. Still grindy and repetetive and barely playable. I'm also not sure why ANYONE thought Atlas would be any different, Dark and Light and PixARK are identical to ARK, and the trailer for Atlas showed it'd be the same thing again but people were excited
Last time I played Sea of thieves is when they released that skeleton DLC or update. At that point, the game was still shit. Biggest money I wasted on in years and while I haven't gone back since I still believe the game is shit. Sure you got content but where are the people? Last time I spent 2 hours looking for people and funny enough I met the same guy 3 times. In the end, we just chilled and talked. The only good thing about that piece of crap game is the water. Shit is fucking beautiful to look at it.
Companies pull this shit because gamers let them get away with it. If people had a modicum of control they would wait until reviews of the game came out before buying the game. But no, the majority buys the game believing everything they see in the trailers. I have no sympathy for anyone who decided to buy the game before reviews came in.
Agreed. Gonna totally happen with Anthem just like Destiny, just like Division. This is why the industry is as greed-oriented as it is, why being an actual member of a development team is absolutely soul crushing and awful. Consumers keep consuming with wild abandon merely because, "but it look gud! Me play with frend!". Fuck that, man. I'll wait.
Some games can actually be worth buying not only before reviews but before everything is even announced. It's pretty rare but it happens. For example : I bought Smash Bros Ultimate months before it's released and it's absolutely great... But it's still pretty rare.
the problem is they add exclusive content for pre orders, which means if you want all content you have to pre order, they trap people in to early purchases. If I was a regulator I would do the following. Ban paid early access Ban pre orders Ban DLC thats exclusive to specific time frames, retailers etc.
What he's doing is bullshit, you can't compare early game gameplay to epic late game shit and then say that it's not what it's like in the trailer and it sucks. COMPARE THE SAME PARTS THEN!
@@TheKingDagon108 no im not, and what you are saying is not correct. Those late game part DO happen and it DOES look very similar to what you see in the trailer. You only believe things and i am sure of them, you can watch the gameplay video's yourself...
@@casparlemmens5022 it's just Ark reskinned, don't advertise a game this early in access especially when you had you disaster start with Ark the only remained popular because there was nothing like it at the time. Stop defending developers for releasing broken garbage that isn't enjoyable to play and show a epic trailer that's false advertising what the game is actually like in its current state. The game is shit.
Sid Mayer Pirates! still kick ass, Black Flag was quite good, and even if they didn't aged well, early Akella games were decent. If you want to be ironic also Puzzle Pirates and LEGO PoC.
Kanaba ok than, go to their head gaming headquarters then go get millions of dollars. After that knee on and kiss their ass, that way we got a good game.
StarWarz #1 ARK is still a buggy mess. There are great concepts in ARK, but quality of life is horrible, and it’s woefully unoptimized, still to this day
If you pay attention to the graphics style, and the developer of the game, your expectations get managed real good. :P It was made by the same people as the developers of ARK, which basically means. It's gon b a shit game... Because the devs of ARK arent capable of balancing a game that isn't... well, ARK... Dark and Light? Its supposed to be a fantasy version of ARK, with Elves and Magic... You play that game you will quickly notice there's not gonna be any magic, because the game will keep you waaaaaaaaay too fucking busy farming food and drink because apparently, people can starve/thirst to death in a matter of minutes, so you have to constantly stuff your face with nutrition and hydration. Too much survival, not enough fantasy... So i knew exactly what was in store for Atlas... The same exact fucking problem... Too much survival, not enough fucking piracy. : / Even if they fix the server issues and bugs etc... Atlas is never going to be a good game, because the developers have a fucking learning disability that prevents them from adjusting their management according to their games genre. They only know how to do survival games, they have no idea how to do fantasy or piracy, none, whatsoever, it's absurdly hilarious, really. :P
ok I have questions. Like why are you guys almost naked, knocking down palm trees with stoneage pickaxes... in an environment that clearly has a mansion or town square in the background? I get that in rpgs you gotta grind but... why do they start you like this in a pirate game? There is clearly some kind of civilization on that island why are you a naked hobo?
Richard Thomas there could be a story in this game like in ark where you ascend and how things are well it complicated anyways this game could be tied with ark story hence why it looks similar
Yeah, I'd accept this more if you were on some dinosaur planet. Still, in a real survival scenario my instincts are "that house over there might have something useful, or is at least shelter." not "oh I'm going to chop down this palm tree with my rocks!" I've been to the actual Bahamas, no body was *that* drunk there.
@@Rimpala bruv, u Are on a dinosaur planet lol. Ive spent some time on ark (mostly single player), and no shit, the "turles" in ATLAS, is a "corbonemys" ( a kind of Dino from ARK, but sized down), the "horses" are "Equus"(another dino from ARK. Every single thing in the goddamn game that ive seen so far (from youtube videos, didnt buy it cuz fuck wildcard), is the exact same from ARK. The tools, the animals, most of the plants, the menus, the character creation, the textures, EVERYTHING. There shoulkd definitely be a class action lawsuit that shuts WILDCARD down and fast. Before they make another "game". Edit: The monkey is a "Mesopithecus"..... At least u could tame them to sit on your shoulder on ARK.
Stop buying early access titles people. More often than not they are scams. You can block early access titles from even showing up for you on Steam. I've done this, and I highly recommend everyone else do so as well. We gamers need to save gaming from itself. If you don't know how to block early access titles from showing up do this: Click on the Steam drop down menu in the upper left of the app. Then click on Settings. Then within the window that pops up click on Account. In the upper right hand corner (below the minimize and close icons) you should see "View account Details" Click on that. This will take you to a page within Steam, click on Preferences and make sure that Show Early Access titles is unchecked.
@@extra1403 Which is fine, but you can wait until they release a full product, just like we used to have to do. Hell, I remember GETTING PAID to do testing for game studio during their Alphas. Not PAYING them to do the same thing. The real problem is that most people see Early Access as getting to simply play the game Early, and not for what Early Access was really intended to do. Most games never leave Early Access, with 7 Days to Die as a prime example of a game that should have seen a full release already, but has been in EA for 5 years now.
I bought planet explorers when they first offered early access and I was glad I did, then I did it with starforge and got burned and never bought early access again lol.
I've blocked all early access titles from showing up on my Steam. I encourage others to do the same. If you don't know how click on Steam in the upper left of the app, then click Settings. Then within the window that pops up click on Account, and in the upper right hand corner (below the minimize and close icons) you should see "View account Details" This will take you to a page within Steam, click on Preferences and make sure that Show Early Access titles is unchecked.
I swam across the entire map in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, it took me 4 hours and 50 minutes. I wonder how long it will take me to swim across this map.
We are in a video game economy where companies seem to think it is okay to sell a 40-60 dollar sandbox with little to no narrative. And then start charging for game assets. This is an experiment in how much can we take away and still sell it at "Triple A" market value. You see this in corporate culture in general. How many people can we cut and still get a similar output? How many corners can we cut and still get a passable product? It kills innovation and focuses on the bottom line.
Vm Phil that is why all A Triple developers are in a fall/crash cycle on thr stock market. because people are sick of buying half assed finished games where they release the rest of the game through dlc's or patches. AND THE DELEVOPERS HAVE THE BALLS TO CHARGE FULL 60 DOLLAR PRICE. PLUS 20 TO 30 DOLLARS IF YOU WANT A FULL COMPLETE GAME. WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THAT WAY FROM THE START.
maybe like assassins creed black flag they should have added varying difficulty of mercenaries/fractions or other bots to challenge you in offline mode(probably their own various guilds with ranks) and for story why not go the sea of thieves route and add missions to go to islands,caves protected by grindable enemies.Just dumping us in an online with bare bones interactions seems to be the next big thing these days
I guess the price argument could be better pointed at games like Sea of Thieves, Fallout 76 and No Man's Sky. But the point is made. The money paid for a game with misleading marketing up to the release is just ---What the fuck? Hopefully this game picks up before final release.
This year is probably the golden year for Angry Joe because there are fucktons of controversies and broken games that was released than any other year in the history of gaming.
If 2017 was the year of loot boxes, then the 2018 is the year of incomplete/rushed releases. So many games this year were rushed out to the market before they were ready for it, because the publishers don't see their gaming community as people anymore but instead as numbers. In my opinion the whole Early-Access concept should just go away, because it gives the publishers/developers too much leeway in the development cycle and sometimes they even abandon the game so it stays in the EA forever.
What they need to do is set ground rules for game going into early access like not allowing dlcs while the game is in early access, allow players to refund the game if development of it basically stops along with giving the makers a deadline for actual updates before removing the game from the steam platform. Like if steam wasn't a money grubbing whore at this point and actually enforced quality assurance and standards early access and games on steam would actually be pretty good but oh well
The fiscal year ends in early 2019 (around march or may i think) so everybody is pulling games out just to show revenue..... it's backfiring really bad
That's what I'm saying... I have a community built around Ark, and I told them I'm not buying this game... so they bought me the game... I'm still not gonna play it. I knew what it was when I saw the trailer. People are dumb.
Ark was really good actually, I don't know why people think it was bad. It ran a little rough and was hard until you figure out you need to play with a group but it was good enough for me to dump 2000 hours on
The fact that there are so many people still playing this game defending it, boggles my mind. I mean seriously, as I speak on steam charts, Atlas has a 50k player peak in the past 24 hours. HOW??!!?!!?! HOW?!!?!?!?!? They make the excuse "Oh it's Early Access" or "Oh no the game wasn't made by Wildcard, it's made by Grapeshot"... I mean how dumb are these people? Early Access? The game is a RE-SKIN of Ark... It's practically a DLC!! Grapeshot is not a NEW COMPANY. It's a sister development team made up of the Wildcard development team. Source code is the same, framework is the same, game mechanics are the same, graphics haven't improved since Ark's initial release, the bugs and exploits are either new or still there FROM Ark. The only thing that's different is the 3d models, a few vfx and sfx that they probably did in a few days. The UI... omg... I could've done better in Photoshop, it's horrendous. What are people thinking defending this?!?!!? This has gone too far.. Bless Online, Fallout 76 and now this. They're just preying on the demand for a new online MMO. The ONLY people playing this who KNOW it's bad, is because they want to troll people and make the game as cancerous as possible until people no longer want to play anymore. I just can't believe this is where we are at right now. Trolls fighting trolls. And these developers and publishers are sitting back and laughing. Why can't we troll the developers by just not buying it?
Well your money... I'm on console. But tbh I may have been caught up in the Hope's of a crazy fun game like their trailer showed... slowly learning not to pre order as much as I want something new to play...
Buy a console. It seems that pc dev's constantly lie to us promising a good games but end up giving us shit. But console always delivers with games like god of war, spider man, red dead redemption 2 etc etc.
Its just Ark DLC that they cut off and sold as standalone game. Thats all... not sure if AJ mentioned it, but when you pressed down on controller, Ark menu showed up with Ocean DLC ( Atlas)
Literally all games now are made for online personalities. That's the marketing strategy. All the kids see their favorite UA-camrs/Twitch streamers playing it and they beg their parents to buy it for them so they can be like their online heroes. Games aren't made for gamers.
Yeah. Ark was the game that taught me to beware the early access. When I heard that ark devs made this I was like "oh okay I would expect this from them." They won't even feel embarrassed by this.
you guys obviously don't understand the point of early access, huh? It's not "rushing a release" it's putting out what they have so far and offering it to play and to help shape the way it turns out. It's in alpha stage and obviously has bugs.. this would be like buying Final Fantasy 7 remake right now.. I'm sure it's somewhat playable but it's still super early in the game. If they didn't put this in EA, it simply wouldn't get made or they'd have to do like Star Citizen and crowdfund and wait a year or so to finish. At least in EA people can give their input on what's good and what's bad and shape it rather than get stuck with whatever the devs decided like Fallout 76
And it totally worked, top seller on Steam, they probably made millions in a few days. It's sad to see shit early access "games" like these making money while other developpers making good, polished games struggle to survive. I just want to slap the shit out of people buying and defending these games.
This is why I can't get excited for games today. False promises, unfinished games released and/or micro-transactions. For those reasons I find it hard to invest into gaming as much as I used to back in uni.
@@th3envyp238 what kind of explanation is that? I'm 30 as well and I still get excited by quality games. It's just the insane amount of disappointment nowadays. like Adam said: pay attention to the indie scene. Just a few weeks ago Insurgency Sandstorm released. quality game, one of the best fps I've played in my life. Last week I played "GRIS"- gotta be the most beautiful artistic game I've ever seen; unique experience. Another couple of months ago I played Guacamelee 2 with a buddy on my couch, had a blast. There is games, youre just lookin at the wrong place
@@th3envyp238 Damn right. But that's mostly to do with the concept of grind games for me. My time to sit there and play games (which I enjoy doing) isn't infinite. I can't invest dozens of hours picking up berries and rocks and shit without having that sickening feeling of ...GASP... I'm wasting my time and thus life.
@@oVerdoZzZed eh, just doesn't do it for me anymore. I played red dead for a week and I'm done. Great game but...eh. Guess I'm losing my gamer gene because I use to be all about it.
we've woken up ages ago. It's just that we're sick enough of it that we're taking action and the casuals aren't as much into the games that aren't mainstream like COD or FIFA atm which would save these pathetic moneygrabbing idiotic companies
Yeah I've been sufficiently burned by early access that I just skip it as a general rule. There's been the occasional exception like slay the spire but that's after I made sure it was in a state I could enjoy it.
at atlas development team boss-"so how is the game" programmer-"boss the game isnt quite ready for realease there are couple of bugs and the game isnt polished yet" boss-"oh cool we realeased the game yesterday btw"
More like. Boss-"hows atlas coming along" Programmers-"we are still working on Ark" Boss-"put a pirate hat on him I need to buy some Christmas presents"
fun fact: the things in the trailer are possible.. it just takes like a month of playing 24/7 to get to it (and then a bigger alliance just fucks you up and you have to gather ressources again.. that dont respawn(?))
no. Some people discovered Duping and made galleons and shit allready and had some big sea battles and build giant forts. @@nickjeffrey8050 the time needed to do any of that is insane and even puts Eve Online to shame. But its there (maybe the giant monsters are not in the game.. didnt see any mention about that).
ARK should’ve been sued for it’s actions during early access. We should’ve set the legal precedent that companies that release games in early access can’t sell additional content for that early access game-they have to wait until full release
actually Valve's guidelines for entry into the Early Access program state not to use the platform to fund the development of the game, that it should already be fully funded, and that anything made for the game (and released) during the Early Access period is to be included in the initial purchase. So what Wildcard did with Scorched Earth went against the guidelines set forth by Valve and they can still be sued over it.
@@matfezza1741 we never were talking about if the dlcs were good or bad we were talking about buying them in general. If you don't want to buy a DLC in early access. You still get to play the main game.

@@nickrivas6429 I agree, it's the main reason I've stopped playing the game. That and you can't farm for a single item. Oh you need a new bond and legs to increase your light level?

Unlike a game like Warframe where you can grind for specific resources to make any weapon you want, with full loot drop tables, and then color then any way with any frame. Destiny 2 annoys the crap out of me like that
wolverine Waiting for reviews to determine if a game is great or bad isn't always the best thing to do. Look at what happened with Sonic Unleashed (360/PS3) and Sonic and the Black Knight. Both of those titles got unjustified hate and criticism by supposedly "professional game journalists" with great deals of bias.
Or give journalists early review copies. Because there will be preorder bonuses and special launch editions that will entice players. I would buy the fuck out of a preorder Megaman game with a real life gun. But if the game had bad early reviews, I would reconsider.

When I saw it was made my Ark creators I doubted the trailer and expected it to be Ark but with boats and that's exactly what it ended up. Didn't like ugly Ark, don't like this. I wouldn't want to support shady developers who sell DLC before their game even finishes EA.

Best comment
@Blake Schwartz i couldn't help it
Reading this comment while Joe was laughing really sold it to me. Hahaha
The reason it was not released as a DLC is likely due the Season Pass that nearly everyone has. They would have made no money on a DLC.
They could well say it was not included in it, would not have been a first
Basically this. It has nothing to do with rushing it to Xmas, it was all about that Season Pass.
@@oliviawilliams6204 Yeah, that's what I keep thinking. I don't honestly think the season pass was the reasoning for Atlas. Honestly, if this had been released as a DLC there probably wouldn't be nearly as much backlash. People would probably be pissed and complain that it wasn't in the season pass, but I guarantee that Wildcard would still have made mad money. People would still have bought it and been happy enough with it because it was more Ark content (despite the game's glaring bugs and issues it still has) and no one would've been saying that it was just copy and paste. But oh well, I'm just glad I didn't grab it day one. The one time I show restraint and actually listened. Still feeling burned with Fallout 76, but glad I didn't add Atlas to the wound.
@@oliviawilliams6204 what's the point of a season pass if massive dlc isn't included. Monetization for modern games is fucked.
Yeah Dat makes sense... In the sense that is a RIP-OFF
Game developers need to stop with early access content. That why you pay game testers.
But that would cost money and these corps don't even want to pay their devs a decent wage.
Pay me 10 an hour to sit hime and test games im down. Ill make sure they legit
@@Medowokha-bp5lq some people don't like to turn their brains on, they'd rather do it the long way, pre-order the game, play the game, realise it's shit, then bitch about it.
Somewhere along the line it went from paying people to test your game to making people pay to test your game for you.
This is how stupid your average gamers are and how devious these corporate machines are.
100% agree with you, I used to test games and got paid $14.00 an hour plus I got a free account to use on my own time to Alpha and Beta, reported bugs back.

Sid Meier's Pirates! back in the day was pretty awesome! The Assassin's Creed was pretty tit, too

Bethesda: We made the worst game this year.
Atlas Devs: Hold my beer.
The big difference is that this is early access and fallout 76 was full release with full price. This costs 20 dollars at early access launch.
@Luke Starkiller I honestly think Metal Gear Survive was much worse than FO76.
Atlas Devs: Hold my rum.
Fixed that for you.
@Luke Starkiller Difference being people expect relatively good games from Bethesda, despite the bugs. Who expects a good game from the devs of ARK: Bugs Evolved?
I'd say Fallout 76 was the bigger disappointment still. Overall, anyway. I never expected anything good from either of those games, so I can enjoy the hilarity, at least.

Did people not play ARK? How can you be surprised Atlas is a reskin money grab from the company that took early access dollars for ARK, made a DLC with it, and tried to sell that DLC back to the same people that paid for it while waiting for the base game (all after Wildcard said they wouldn't put out paid DLC until the core game was out). There's a reason you find the ARK menu for a DLC called Ocean.
i heard "wildcard", and this is EXACTLY what i pictured. shitty ark pirate dlc.
this is the third reskin of ark they have done now why are people suprised they are trying there luck on makeing a good game
It's because humans are fucking stupid.
I didn't play ARK.

True
Man, Sea of Thieves had a pretty rough launch. It was pretty obvious they were rushed to release early......but at least it wasn't Banjo Kazooie reskinned into a pirate game
I dunno. I could've had way more fun with a Banjo Kazooie reskin than I could've with Sea of Thieves. And at least they would've reskinned a good game, unlike this. Lol.

Bethesda is still worse. Wildcard are known liars and everyone knew this was going to be an ark re-skin going in.

exactly.
Yup. Although ark is great now.

Sea of Thieves: We can make the worst pirate game
Atlas: Hold my beer
Sea of Thieves is pretty good not gonna lie.
Sea of thieves is actually better now
Sea of theives problem was it lacked content as where atlas is simply a broken dlc sold as a whole new game
Chisha sea of thieves is actually good but lacks content
Last time I played Sea of thieves is when they released that skeleton DLC or update. At that point, the game was still shit. Biggest money I wasted on in years and while I haven't gone back since I still believe the game is shit. Sure you got content but where are the people? Last time I spent 2 hours looking for people and funny enough I met the same guy 3 times. In the end, we just chilled and talked.
The only good thing about that piece of crap game is the water. Shit is fucking beautiful to look at it.
Companies pull this shit because gamers let them get away with it. If people had a modicum of control they would wait until reviews of the game came out before buying the game.
But no, the majority buys the game believing everything they see in the trailers.
I have no sympathy for anyone who decided to buy the game before reviews came in.
Agreed. Gonna totally happen with Anthem just like Destiny, just like Division. This is why the industry is as greed-oriented as it is, why being an actual member of a development team is absolutely soul crushing and awful. Consumers keep consuming with wild abandon merely because, "but it look gud! Me play with frend!". Fuck that, man. I'll wait.
Some games can actually be worth buying not only before reviews but before everything is even announced. It's pretty rare but it happens.
For example : I bought Smash Bros Ultimate months before it's released and it's absolutely great...
But it's still pretty rare.
the problem is they add exclusive content for pre orders, which means if you want all content you have to pre order, they trap people in to early purchases.
If I was a regulator I would do the following.
Ban paid early access
Ban pre orders
Ban DLC thats exclusive to specific time frames, retailers etc.
Nice floof.
Kinda the same issue with shitty microtransactions, it works cause people buy them
Should rename the game to "Argh" then.

Black Flag is fantastic.
Sid Mayer Pirates! still kick ass, Black Flag was quite good, and even if they didn't aged well, early Akella games were decent. If you want to be ironic also Puzzle Pirates and LEGO PoC.

If you pay attention to the graphics style, and the developer of the game, your expectations get managed real good. :P
It was made by the same people as the developers of ARK, which basically means.
It's gon b a shit game... Because the devs of ARK arent capable of balancing a game that isn't... well, ARK... Dark and Light? Its supposed to be a fantasy version of ARK, with Elves and Magic... You play that game you will quickly notice there's not gonna be any magic, because the game will keep you waaaaaaaaay too fucking busy farming food and drink because apparently, people can starve/thirst to death in a matter of minutes, so you have to constantly stuff your face with nutrition and hydration.
Too much survival, not enough fantasy... So i knew exactly what was in store for Atlas... The same exact fucking problem... Too much survival, not enough fucking piracy. : /
Even if they fix the server issues and bugs etc... Atlas is never going to be a good game, because the developers have a fucking learning disability that prevents them from adjusting their management according to their games genre. They only know how to do survival games, they have no idea how to do fantasy or piracy, none, whatsoever, it's absurdly hilarious, really. :P

@@Rimpala bruv, u Are on a dinosaur planet lol. Ive spent some time on ark (mostly single player), and no shit, the "turles" in ATLAS, is a "corbonemys" ( a kind of Dino from ARK, but sized down), the "horses" are "Equus"(another dino from ARK. Every single thing in the goddamn game that ive seen so far (from youtube videos, didnt buy it cuz fuck wildcard), is the exact same from ARK. The tools, the animals, most of the plants, the menus, the character creation, the textures, EVERYTHING. There shoulkd definitely be a class action lawsuit that shuts WILDCARD down and fast. Before they make another "game".
Edit: The monkey is a "Mesopithecus"..... At least u could tame them to sit on your shoulder on ARK.
Because it's really ARK, not a pirate game.
Stop buying early access titles people. More often than not they are scams. You can block early access titles from even showing up for you on Steam. I've done this, and I highly recommend everyone else do so as well. We gamers need to save gaming from itself. If you don't know how to block early access titles from showing up do this:
Click on the Steam drop down menu in the upper left of the app.
Then click on Settings.
Then within the window that pops up click on Account.
In the upper right hand corner (below the minimize and close icons) you should see "View account Details" Click on that.
This will take you to a page within Steam, click on Preferences and make sure that Show Early Access titles is unchecked.
But some are really great
AMEIZING And they're just as great when they officially release. Probably better.
@@extra1403 Which is fine, but you can wait until they release a full product, just like we used to have to do. Hell, I remember GETTING PAID to do testing for game studio during their Alphas. Not PAYING them to do the same thing. The real problem is that most people see Early Access as getting to simply play the game Early, and not for what Early Access was really intended to do. Most games never leave Early Access, with 7 Days to Die as a prime example of a game that should have seen a full release already, but has been in EA for 5 years now.
I bought planet explorers when they first offered early access and I was glad I did, then I did it with starforge and got burned and never bought early access again lol.
I would say stop buying early access if your too stupid to understand what investing your money into early access means.
Early access is a key word for money grabbing.
💯
Sometimes a good game comes out of early access. Subnautica, for example.
Yeah there are a few early access titles that turned into good games. Rust is really solid right now as well.
I'm having fun with games like Hades and Slay the Spire. Early access done right exists, but you'll never see it from a survival multiplayer
I've blocked all early access titles from showing up on my Steam. I encourage others to do the same. If you don't know how click on Steam in the upper left of the app, then click Settings. Then within the window that pops up click on Account, and in the upper right hand corner (below the minimize and close icons) you should see "View account Details" This will take you to a page within Steam, click on Preferences and make sure that Show Early Access titles is unchecked.

2 years later, this launch is still hilarious
We are in a video game economy where companies seem to think it is okay to sell a 40-60 dollar sandbox with little to no narrative. And then start charging for game assets. This is an experiment in how much can we take away and still sell it at "Triple A" market value. You see this in corporate culture in general. How many people can we cut and still get a similar output? How many corners can we cut and still get a passable product? It kills innovation and focuses on the bottom line.
It's $25 on sale and $30 at full price?
Vm Phil that is why all A Triple developers are in a fall/crash cycle on thr stock market. because people are sick of buying half assed finished games where they release the rest of the game through dlc's or patches. AND THE DELEVOPERS HAVE THE BALLS TO CHARGE FULL 60 DOLLAR PRICE. PLUS 20 TO 30 DOLLARS IF YOU WANT A FULL COMPLETE GAME. WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THAT WAY FROM THE START.
i mean atlas is only like 4-8€ more then ark: extiction ;)
maybe like assassins creed black flag they should have added varying difficulty of mercenaries/fractions or other bots to challenge you in offline mode(probably their own various guilds with ranks) and for story why not go the sea of thieves route and add missions to go to islands,caves protected by grindable enemies.Just dumping us in an online with bare bones interactions seems to be the next big thing these days
I guess the price argument could be better pointed at games like Sea of Thieves, Fallout 76 and No Man's Sky. But the point is made. The money paid for a game with misleading marketing up to the release is just ---What the fuck? Hopefully this game picks up before final release.

No, the NES had more broken games...but none of them were hyped-up or pretended to be something they weren't.
I thought after 2017 things couldn't possibly get any worse. But boy was I wrong.
If 2017 was the year of loot boxes, then the 2018 is the year of incomplete/rushed releases.
So many games this year were rushed out to the market before they were ready for it, because the publishers don't see their gaming community as people anymore but instead as numbers.
In my opinion the whole Early-Access concept should just go away, because it gives the publishers/developers too much leeway in the development cycle and sometimes they even abandon the game so it stays in the EA forever.
Jordick your right and that's really unfortunate cause I once believed in early access
It’s like dlc it’s fine in concept but the devs get lazy and don’t bother
Or hack the game to pieces and sell it back to in dlc’s cases
What they need to do is set ground rules for game going into early access like not allowing dlcs while the game is in early access, allow players to refund the game if development of it basically stops along with giving the makers a deadline for actual updates before removing the game from the steam platform. Like if steam wasn't a money grubbing whore at this point and actually enforced quality assurance and standards early access and games on steam would actually be pretty good but oh well
The fiscal year ends in early 2019 (around march or may i think) so everybody is pulling games out just to show revenue..... it's backfiring really bad

That's what I've been saying lol, I was excited to see just how massive this game would fail HAHA
Ark was really good actually, I don't know why people think it was bad. It ran a little rough and was hard until you figure out you need to play with a group but it was good enough for me to dump 2000 hours on
The fact that there are so many people still playing this game defending it, boggles my mind.
I mean seriously, as I speak on steam charts, Atlas has a 50k player peak in the past 24 hours.
HOW??!!?!!?! HOW?!!?!?!?!?
They make the excuse "Oh it's Early Access" or "Oh no the game wasn't made by Wildcard, it's made by Grapeshot"...
I mean how dumb are these people? Early Access? The game is a RE-SKIN of Ark... It's practically a DLC!!
Grapeshot is not a NEW COMPANY. It's a sister development team made up of the Wildcard development team.
Source code is the same, framework is the same, game mechanics are the same, graphics haven't improved since Ark's initial release, the bugs and exploits are either new or still there FROM Ark.
The only thing that's different is the 3d models, a few vfx and sfx that they probably did in a few days. The UI... omg... I could've done better in Photoshop, it's horrendous.
What are people thinking defending this?!?!!? This has gone too far.. Bless Online, Fallout 76 and now this. They're just preying on the demand for a new online MMO.
The ONLY people playing this who KNOW it's bad, is because they want to troll people and make the game as cancerous as possible until people no longer want to play anymore.
I just can't believe this is where we are at right now. Trolls fighting trolls. And these developers and publishers are sitting back and laughing. Why can't we troll the developers by just not buying it?

I still remember the insults from the sword fighting
Literally all games now are made for online personalities. That's the marketing strategy. All the kids see their favorite UA-camrs/Twitch streamers playing it and they beg their parents to buy it for them so they can be like their online heroes. Games aren't made for gamers.
I disagree Arthur Morgan was made for the culture

@Starvin Marvin yeah they most likely get their gear from fans
Who in their right mind thought... have you not played Ark? The fact that there are pople who are surprised on the state of the game is baffling.
Yeah. Ark was the game that taught me to beware the early access. When I heard that ark devs made this I was like "oh okay I would expect this from them."
They won't even feel embarrassed by this.
Its pathetic.
Its seriously pathetic.
It would be like calling every resource pack for minecraft a new game lol wtf
I didn't. Definitely learned my lesson.
The problem is, most people don't know these are the same guys who made Ark or are even aware of WHY Ark is so weak.
They rushed the release to get people’s Christmas money
Havent seen anything like this but you are 100% right.
Yup
you guys obviously don't understand the point of early access, huh? It's not "rushing a release" it's putting out what they have so far and offering it to play and to help shape the way it turns out. It's in alpha stage and obviously has bugs.. this would be like buying Final Fantasy 7 remake right now.. I'm sure it's somewhat playable but it's still super early in the game. If they didn't put this in EA, it simply wouldn't get made or they'd have to do like Star Citizen and crowdfund and wait a year or so to finish. At least in EA people can give their input on what's good and what's bad and shape it rather than get stuck with whatever the devs decided like Fallout 76
Same with Just Cause 4
And it totally worked, top seller on Steam, they probably made millions in a few days.
It's sad to see shit early access "games" like these making money while other developpers making good, polished games struggle to survive.
I just want to slap the shit out of people buying and defending these games.
This is an ark clone but a worse version
yung miguel this isnt an ark clone, this is ark reskinned
This is why I can't get excited for games today.
False promises, unfinished games released and/or micro-transactions.
For those reasons I find it hard to invest into gaming as much as I used to back in uni.
I cant get excited anymore because I'm now 30
@@th3envyp238 what kind of explanation is that? I'm 30 as well and I still get excited by quality games. It's just the insane amount of disappointment nowadays.
like Adam said: pay attention to the indie scene.
Just a few weeks ago Insurgency Sandstorm released. quality game, one of the best fps I've played in my life.
Last week I played "GRIS"- gotta be the most beautiful artistic game I've ever seen; unique experience.
Another couple of months ago I played Guacamelee 2 with a buddy on my couch, had a blast.
There is games, youre just lookin at the wrong place
@@th3envyp238 Damn right. But that's mostly to do with the concept of grind games for me. My time to sit there and play games (which I enjoy doing) isn't infinite. I can't invest dozens of hours picking up berries and rocks and shit without having that sickening feeling of ...GASP... I'm wasting my time and thus life.
@@oVerdoZzZed eh, just doesn't do it for me anymore. I played red dead for a week and I'm done. Great game but...eh. Guess I'm losing my gamer gene because I use to be all about it.
@@MST3Killa Bingo, same. That is probably it. Finding the time is very hard.
Is 2017 and 2018 the years that customers wake up to companies tactics?
If it is, it take them to freaking long
Let's hope so
we've woken up ages ago. It's just that we're sick enough of it that we're taking action and the casuals aren't as much into the games that aren't mainstream like COD or FIFA atm which would save these pathetic moneygrabbing idiotic companies
Nope! Its the end of the year and people keep eating shit these companies shovel in our faces.
No
at least fallout matched the trailer... OOF
As soon as I saw this video, I kept thinking this was Risen Online.
did it? si you have the stunning graphics in fallout 76, get real it looks nothing like their trailer.
No, the fallout trailer was just as deceptive.
Doubt.
"matched"
Lmaooo when Joe said “The whole point was for ME to get the resources…” 😂😂
Stop getting early access I thought we learnt this
amen to this. It is the gamers fault just stop buying this early access shiet.
Some of the Early Access is okay. Subnautica, Kerbal Space Program, and Dead Cells to name a few
Yeah I've been sufficiently burned by early access that I just skip it as a general rule. There's been the occasional exception like slay the spire but that's after I made sure it was in a state I could enjoy it.
release Atlas on Soulja boys console lol
Atlas Boy up in this place
*Watch me copy watch me paste.*
Well another game safe from my wallet.
Don't you mean your wallet is safe from it?
at atlas development team
boss-"so how is the game"
programmer-"boss the game isnt quite ready for realease there are couple of bugs and the game isnt polished yet"
boss-"oh cool we realeased the game yesterday btw"
More like.
Boss-"hows atlas coming along"
Programmers-"we are still working on Ark"
Boss-"put a pirate hat on him I need to buy some Christmas presents"
you thought the game is a brand new pirate game?
but it was me, *ARK!* 😃

Trailer: EPIC LEGENDARY ADVENTURE WITH FRIENDS - 0.1% of the game misrepresenting it
Actual game - ROCK DIGGING FOR HOURS - 99.9% of the game
@TrueGamerOpinion that was bad xD just stop
fun fact: the things in the trailer are possible.. it just takes like a month of playing 24/7 to get to it (and then a bigger alliance just fucks you up and you have to gather ressources again.. that dont respawn(?))
Y0G0FU this isn’t fact! It’s fiction!
None of that shit is possible bro
no. Some people discovered Duping and made galleons and shit allready and had some big sea battles and build giant forts. @@nickjeffrey8050 the time needed to do any of that is insane and even puts Eve Online to shame. But its there (maybe the giant monsters are not in the game.. didnt see any mention about that).
and iam not defending the game. its absolute garbage and i wouldnt even play it if i would get payed for it. @@nickjeffrey8050
0:42 the joker at the end of Dark Knight
ARK should’ve been sued for it’s actions during early access. We should’ve set the legal precedent that companies that release games in early access can’t sell additional content for that early access game-they have to wait until full release
I mean you can just not buy it...
actually Valve's guidelines for entry into the Early Access program state not to use the platform to fund the development of the game, that it should already be fully funded, and that anything made for the game (and released) during the Early Access period is to be included in the initial purchase. So what Wildcard did with Scorched Earth went against the guidelines set forth by Valve and they can still be sued over it.
sage maybe ppl wanna play a game cause it looks good? but get decieved ? you dont understand the point
@@matfezza1741 we never were talking about if the dlcs were good or bad we were talking about buying them in general. If you don't want to buy a DLC in early access. You still get to play the main game.
@@hayze_kvngsage3159 smh, do you not understand how grossly illegal rhis dev company's actions have been since even Ark's development.
Assassins creed black flag is still the best pirate game.
Damn right it is.
AC Odyssey is a better game but not pirate themed
Rogue was better.
Agree
@@ed-edd-n-eddy it was short but very sweet, soooo underrated
There are over 2000 positive review for Atlas. Who are these gamers?
SQW0 The Chinese
The Russians
Gamers who can wait 3 years for what is in the trailer XD
Microbots
Bots
"Connection to the server lost" "Accept" that's the whole experience from this game right there in a nutshell.
its a mod for ark survival....same as fallout 76 is a mod for fallout4....we got our paid mods
Press down in menu.... ark menu pops up. No joke.
But fallout isn't as bad because at least they kept it in the IP they didn't claim it to be a totally new game unlike atlas, I'm not defending fallout btw I'm just saying their slightly different and one is more scummy than the other
And every edition of cod and most AAA games are reskinned mods of previous versions of themselves yet no one complains about that.
You can even spawn in ark items
@@ShdowHuntr people have been saying that for years.
its kinda true though.
we havent had GOOD pirate game since AC4 black flag
ggamer 18 Real talk. The game gets alot of smack but the pirating experiencing was top notch
@@plainluke722 AC 4 is my favorite AC creed i like it even more than AC2
because naval combat + AC climbing mechanics worked so well together
jumping from ship to ship and from ship to land felt so real and amazing + amazing music
yea idk AC4 is one of the best ubisoft games for me
waiting for Skulls and Bones
I always feel torn about Ubisoft's games. However AC IV was a really good game despite the company's usual shortcomings.
ggamer 18 Sea of Thieves is pretty good
Denca it’s a meh. Better than it was at launch but still not worth the money
So, your telling us that new Bethesda business model doesn’t work?
Except Bethesda didn't start this.
This practice has been going on LONG before Bethesda had Fallout 76.
@@popblender This is what happens when people hop on the hate bandwagon though. It's all Bethesda's fault even though like people have been saying, Bethesda had nothing to do with starting this model.
actually all these youtubers are giving it more coverage and generally Atlas population is spiking at 50-60k players and rising
Atlas didnt follow the bethesda model, they didnt release as a full priced game pretending to be a finished product.

Wtf am I looking at right now
Most likely to win "Better with friends..." prize for 2018.
strong competitor in that category - F76
Mr. Butters ok i can respect that
Ark did the same thing. A relatively cool and endearing trailer that is literally nothing like the actual game. The games going to be garbage for years, and THEN, it will finally be...............mediocre.
Ark was has been fun for a long time, what have u done in that game? I got 2100 hours on it, so I've done all the end game content and raids and ect. What was so garbage about the ark content?

@@hayze_kvngsage3159 ....not gonna explain why Ark is shit, you're yon UA-cam. Search it.
@@hayze_kvngsage3159 I mean. Those are my reasons. There's no point in me explaining anything when you have literally thousands of hours in the game and an obvious heavy bias.
I literally called that this was about to happen in the IGN thread right after they announced it. Got a whole bunch of hate for it. Lol sometimes it's the little things in life
Oh trust me I was the same with both d2 and f76. My friends called me a hater then they saw I was right.
@@nickrivas6429 I mean in those games, you can still have fun at least (Unless you play F76 on PC, then it's a nightmare.) This game Atlas, feels like a giant con. I would be pissed off, it doesn't look like the trailer at all. In fact if you use a controller, you can LITERALLY access Ark menus in Atlas. This is terrible
@@ExperimentalProfessor don't get me wrong I tried d2 and it's fun. I was harsh on judgement for a lot of games but their are still things that prevent me from fully enjoying them. D2's grinding halt in light progression unless you get the newest dlc doesn't sit well with me even though I find various things fun.
@@nickrivas6429 I agree, it's the main reason I've stopped playing the game. That and you can't farm for a single item. Oh you need a new bond and legs to increase your light level? Better give you 10 more kinetic weapons instead. Unlike a game like Warframe where you can grind for specific resources to make any weapon you want, with full loot drop tables, and then color then any way with any frame. Destiny 2 annoys the crap out of me like that
@@ExperimentalProfessor I just got mad at warframe today for one sole reason. Khora farming being akin to d2 grind.
This game was ass before it even was even revealed
Hey Joe
*WANNA PLAY A EARLY ACCESS GAME?!*
Killlllllllllllll............ meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..
ZERGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is why you ALWAYS wait for Reviews after the game has been released to the Public before purchasing anything.
wolverine
Waiting for reviews to determine if a game is great or bad isn't always the best thing to do. Look at what happened with Sonic Unleashed (360/PS3) and Sonic and the Black Knight. Both of those titles got unjustified hate and criticism by supposedly "professional game journalists" with great deals of bias.
I feel like waiting for gameplay is better than for the reviews
Nicholas Chavez have you ever heard user’s reviews?
@@Deathchan12 Decent amount of gameplay is good enough in my eyes. If nothing else you can go "Hm, I wana play that." or "Not gonna bother."
Or give journalists early review copies. Because there will be preorder bonuses and special launch editions that will entice players. I would buy the fuck out of a preorder Megaman game with a real life gun. But if the game had bad early reviews, I would reconsider.
It’s like the game was... pirated...
Nice one :)
*Ba dum tiss!*
Are you proud of that joke?
Cant pirate your own code :P
PureH why would I want to even do that to this game?
You know the lag is bad when the freaking monsters and NPCs in the game rubber band worse than the player
