Brought my fiancee to ark on your servers and your videos are helping her english. You help people in many ways ty ty
Halo beats it
didnt they say there is a new story?
Thank for lore me play for dodo punch
Hey Neddy I'm curious would it be a good theory that ark 2 is going to be the whole lore story but from the perspective of the main protagonists aka Santiago Helena Edmund as that would make the perfect story
Like to Sign the Petition for “ARK Survival Evolved: The Movie”
Like Lost but better and it'd have to be a trilogy at least.
Naw man, it needs to be a TV series to make sure it gets all the details and they don't have to chop it up and end up making it something else!
@@bass_not_bombs7483that’s literally the arc anime
They made an animated series right?
@@Miss_Distress yep
TBH, I never knew ARK actually had a story. This feels like something out of a cinematic universe.
Thank you for taking the time to bring ARK into a new perspective for not just me, but for others who didn't know of this emotional and rich story.
Yeah a lot of players don't know. Because the story is hidden through the explorer notes. Some if not a lot of players have little interest in reading them, so a lot of people don't know. However, as your progress through the DLCs, the story being present becomes quite prevalent. Especially with the end cutscnes of Ark Genesis Parts 1 and 2
Yeah I was pleasantly surprised when I finally read all the ones I collected. Helped me understand the DLCs.
As Ark came out and grew, adding DLC, its clear looking back now: there was no real story at first, but the makers were clever enough to leave little tidbits here and there -- things that, at the start, just adding to the little collectible-personality some of us have, but left them enough of an opening to grow on. By Scorched Earth, it was clear they planned to continue this tradition on the new map. I think somewhere between Scorched Earth (or during, as they developed the Explorers Notes), they realize both that their game was EXTREMELY popular, and that they could actually build a plot within it... if they did it right and continued utilizing the Explorer's Notes, as well as simply adding ruins in the game.
Thank you
@@RikoLimethere always was a story and it was told through explorer notes.
Arks story is such an incredible story but its always been so hard to fully understand. You have created a literal 2 hour movie of arks story better explained than anyone else. Well done, this was amazing
It doesnt help that it has multiple recons and multiple writers with different ideas.
It can be complicated to bring those different ideas together into one cohesive story, but if it works out, it actually adds up to a fascinating scify universe filled with emotional dramas and personal adventures, some authors can only dream of. Somehow Neddy was able to work this out so good i actually want to see this fully worked out as a multi-seasonal high budget series now! :)@@kingbellos1403
@@kingbellos1403 yeah I agree bro, makes me nervous for the state of ARK 2
As someone stats played this since beta with over 3,500 hours of play, I CANNOT IMAGINE the amount of work and time it took to set up these shots. Bravo to you and your team.
@Have you seen ARK the animated series?
Its out!
Adult animation
Man, this felt like a movie. I mean the cinematics, the entire story, the music, and the fact that it wasn’t just someone telling a story, but instead the most detailed and explained chain of events I have ever heard. This really helped me understand the lore of Ark Survival Evolved, because before I thought it was just a game with no meaning and the only objective was to beat the bosses and move on. I just want to give Ned and his team a huge appreciation as this video was most likely very difficult and very time consuming to make. But besides all of that, I guess I will see you all in Ark Survival Ascended.
Cheers :)
He deserves a million subs
I feel exactly the same. I wanted to wirte my one comment but didnt know how, but then i saw this comment and really liked it. So thank you for writing this comment and thans to Ned and his team for making such an awesome Video.
I’m 😅jiiippp.k
This games lore is as complex as the fnaf lore
The fact that there is actual subtitles instead of the auto generated ones says alot about how much effort went into this video, thank you so much man
Cheers
More effort went into this video, than wildcard or snailgames put into the official arks story/universe lol.. In other games, story is like 70% of the game (edit: and story is the most time consuming and quite expensive part of game dev, other devs hire entire teams of people to write the story and do the voices etc... Ark just sent all of their employees home with homework and said, you all gotta write a page of story along these guidelines and hand it in asap), lol, in ark its like 1% and the player is left to make the story themselves, so basically they can pump out content with minimal effort cos the biggest set back of game development would be writing the stories and needing the voice actors and characters in game to give you the story, but ark bypassed that, the game is just a map, and mechanics, but sells for top dollar and theyve scammed everyone atleast twice now... first with the first season pass as they claimed it would give access to all future content and second revealing ark 2 and then years later revealing ASA but without mentioning ark2, then like a year later, scrapping ark evolved official servers and support, and saying arc 2 isnt likely to happen, but here is ASA.. An identical game in gameplay but better graphics lol... Basically saying, this is ark 2 but when we realised our community was starting to clue on to our scam, we started to jump ship but here you go, have the half completed and renamed 'Ark 2' as ASA for big $$ and BTW, we're closing ark evolved so if you want to play official you have to buy ASA and start again lol
@@user-rf2qe4gi4k They actually hired a guy to write the entire story, and by the looks of it my guy needs a fucking raise since this is a masterpiece
@@user-rf2qe4gi4kASA is suppose to be a better remake cause when they made ASE they was a indie company and wasn't professional coders and didn't have as much resources. A ps4 cannot run this game at 60 fps at all and crashes a lot which is terrible as big cod games would crash less or not at all I can crash if my game saves ASA is suppose to be more obtiminized and better ai
This man is such a legend. Someone get him a grammy. This was so captivating to watch, from the scenes to the sections, to the non-boring voice, the excitement pulsing through the story, and many more elements. I was able to sit down and watch this throughout in one sitting. It made me feel like I was sitting in a sci-fi movie, rather than just watching the movie. It was so captivating as a whole. I have been playing ark for roughly 4 years now on and off, but I never really "understood" the game until now. Thanks so much, this will help tremendously from now on. New sub :)
Cheers :)
Ark’s story is incredible and I hope the animated series covers more of it. Also it wasn’t just prehistoric animals brought back. Mythical creatures were brought to life as well- Dragons, Wyverns, Phoenix, Griffins, Manticore etc. Wish the in game lore explained about why they were brought in.
i just imagine they already existed on their earth
My theory is the hybrid cloning they were doing with people also applied to the creatures.
Remember when we thought this was just a dinosaur sandbox game? Look how far we come.
All I knew of it til this.
The good old days. I remember being deadly afraid of raptors, and every time we saw one the whole camp would up and in defence mode for when the unfortunate one came screaming and running back😆
its about to come full circle
A dinosaur sandbox game is about where i left off! The new things added since i last played is just insane.
thats what i thought 2 hours ago
We’ve all binged a TV series and have been left with that empty feeling inside. Somehow, this 2 hour UA-cam video managed to leave me with the same feeling. Thank you for such a wonderful experience
Thank you for watching!
Wait, so being left with the empty feeling inside is good?
@@scionixx9568I think he meant now it’s over as he enjoyed and was so into it.
@@Peglesss that
That’s how I felt at the end of each of his individual lore videos
This made me cry in the best way possible. Probably the greatest and best video game story ever written. And you told it masterfully. Thank you for this, genuinely
Thank you for the kind words ❤
ARK story is mid at best and it made you cry?
@@rio5347 sorry I'm not a big strong alpha man like you dude. You're so cool and tough man, wow. I wish I didnt have the ability to immerse myself in a story, because that's for babies. Right?
@@christophervalencia5919 Wow what a great strawman. I never said that you can't cry because of how touching a game's story is. I just said that you have low standards for what you consider a good and touching story.
@@rio5347respect your opinion might not agree with it but its your opinion
This almost brought me to tears mate, as an og ark player, playing since launch, putting countless hours into this game, seeing this and all the cut szenes was just wonderful. A real pleasure to watch and a trip down memory lane. Keep up the Work and much love from Austria! ❤
I love how the power creep and increasing difficulty with each of the original DLCs is completely more accurate. You’d absolutely need harder and harsher challenges to become strong enough to take down the King Titan
Best video I have ever watched
Yes
@@Grapeongymclass And also yes
ignoring the swamp (and bog) its pretty true. idk why but any swampish biome in ark gives hell itself a run for its money
@@marcuscarter2403for me that's the snow
Glad to have had the pleasure to work on parts of this, always a pleasure to see others helping to spread and forward knowledge of ARK's Lore. Keep it up Ned.
Wait really? That's cool I hope neddy gets more popular
I live this game but none of my friends are into it . I wish I had a PC lol
@@0xXxcmwxXx0 I’m down to play, u on Xbox?
thank you guys so much for this much love!
Words cannot put into perspective of how much I appreciate this video. Years ago I had gotten Ark to give it a try, but dumped it almost as soon as I picked it up because of how confusing it was. For a good while after, I struggled every day to find some sort of guide or story that could help me understand at least a morsel of what Ark was about and what my objective was. From day 1 I was already really invested into the lore, as I heavily enjoy these kind of sci fi elements that Ark has so masterfully woven together. The only downfall to this majestic story though, is how the information is delivered and I believe that's where a lot of the new players end up dropping Ark at.
Today I thought "Hey, why not give Ark lore another try, the wiki was too hard to read so maybe UA-cam will finally have something after so long." and it did. Your video. I was reluctant at first, seeing how it was almost 2 hours long, but as soon as I started I realised that this was no tutorial, nor was it a guide, but it was a whole damn cinematic movie so expertly woven together by providing information and entertainment side by side, integrated seamlessly. I don't very rarely feel sad about coming to the end of UA-cam videos, but I'm at the 1 hour 26 minutes mark and I can already feel myself dreading the end of this video, almost as if it were one of the best movies I have ever watched (Which by the way, it is.) Thankfully I do recall that you've made a cinematic movie series of this, so i can't wait to watch those as well.
So thank you. Thank you for making this video. Thank for you putting in the countless hours of effort into making this absolute masterpiece. This is something more than just a guide, more than just a video, more than just a movie. Your art of narrating over the clips is truly something else, and I'd love for you to continue making these videos.
It's turning out to be a wild journey for me, and I just can't wait to see what you have next in store.
I love that you told the story taking into account the temporal events. This is the first time I've seen it done this way. Great work!
Having to piece the story together ourselves throughout the game has been one of my favorite ways to tell a story. And Neddy has brought it all to life through his videos and everyone's effort to do this. Thank you!
As someone who didn’t realize the deep story of ark I’m glad I was able to experience it in this way.
I'm just starting my Ark adventure. I had no idea about the lore or the task. I am so stoked to have seen this. Thank you so much!
Enjoy the endless bugs and nonexistent optimization.
From being a bob on the beach to an alpha on official; I can tell you that every time I hear the lore and Ascension music I can literally cry. This game has brought me so many friends and memories I can’t thank it enough.. Overall well edited and documented video Ned. We ALL needed this. All up from here! ❤
I've only played Ark off and on about 2 years now, only this past year really getting into boss fights, and max level dinos, and exploring new maps never knowing there was an actual story to Ark. This was incredibly amazing to listen and watch the story unfold, truly a masterpiece. I felt like I was there in the undeniable difficult race to survive against all odds and save the world. Very well done!
I didn't expect to watch a 2 hour Ark lore video today.
I certainly didn't expect to cry at the end of that video.
As a casual player of Ark who only ever played on The Island and never even fought a single boss or anything, this was hella fun to watch, thank you.
same
Even as a player with 1137 hours in game and who mastered any boss on any map in any of the 3 difficulties, it still made me cry. THIS is Ark !
Weakling
You guys are crying over a video game? Grow up lol
@@mattb9054 I don't know what's worse; being unable to feel emotions due to solid writing, or mocking others for feeling those emotions. Either way, I'd feel bad for you, if you weren't an ass about it.
I've waited for ARK-lore video for years... And after 2 hours of watching it I'm crying right now. I've never been able to beat the game myself, but it gave me so much memories. The music gives me chills every time :)
Thank you very much!
Alot of players never took the time to find out the whole story if ark, thank you for making it so clear, in doing so youve introduced a new round of fans to the franchise
It’s criminal this doesn’t have millions of views and 100s of thousands of likes. This was a better cinematic experience I would pay more to watch than most films atm.
It currently has 1.1 Million views.
I cannot say how much I like ARKs story in words, it's so beautiful.
Nonsensical, is the word you were looking for. The story has more plotholes than story.
@@kraanz we don't care about your opinion bro. If you don't like it don't play it we will tho!
@@jairsam25 Fair enough, why would I be against you enjoying yourselves, like wtf? Had a shitty day, I suppose =]
I can only imagine how large a task this video was. It was a beautiful cinematic masterpiece. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I think it's absolutely a crime Wildcard doesn't pay you for something like this.
50:15 what a true chad:
-make a cool illustration while evading rockwell
-writes notes while evading rockwell
-die
-refuse to elaborate further (because dead)
Exactly
He’s the real main character
Plot armor just didn’t exist back then before Helena gave everyone infinite respawn
This game will forever be the best thing to ever happen to me, it's story is amazing. The fun you can have with friends, the gameplay and the memories. It's a masterpiece.
I completely agree
And its funny though. I been with ark since its early access days. Way before even the snow biomes became a thing. Back when the max wild dino level was 20. To think it came to all this and how amazing it turned out. I am glad I was in for the ride
For real, I ran a casual community server and it was a blast
@@gahmivolka6582you remember the big barren Hill that is now the redwoods lol. My friends and I used to call it Bronto Hill. Built a huge base there and then had to tear it down when they were about to add the redwoods lol Also lost the "Foundry" base when they added lava to the volcano
It's an unoptimized parody of a game. Not to mention a blatant cash-grab.
I have thousands of hours on ark and I'm honestly shook that I didn't know all of this existed. I absolutely love that you put all this together. Thank you for telling an amazing story.
Part of the reason why this game has such a special place in my heart is its lore- which has been an extremely big inspiration for my own works. I remember watching this video a few months ago while hammering out a story outline for one of my characters that was heavily inspired by ark lore, and being impressed by the sheer depth and emotion of this game’s lore. Thank you so much for bringing this incredible story to life in this way.
I'm shocked on how unique the ARK story and lore is build up, its just make me speechless on the initial thought like "Oh cool a game were you can tame dinosaurs." to "I am the one chosen amoung countless other to literally rebuild human kind and Earth it self." this video was an absolute mind opening for me and made me going from a casual player of ARK to a complet Lover towards ARK universe it self.
Hey Kiddo. I just wanted to say Thank You for all you have done for this game and your passion for this lore. It truly has got me involved into this game and I really enjoy and love the mini movies you have made. I pray that you are able to continue and finish what you have started. I don't think people know how much time you and your team have put into this whole thing and I just wanted to thank you. I sincerely love the stories and it is AMAZING!!! Your passion and love for this game has past onto me. So know that I really enjoyed your lore and putting mini-movies and stories to this lore. Don't ever give up on your hopes and dreams kiddo. I can't stress this enough. You are in charge of all this and more. MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!
Cheers, thanks David. I appreciate it :)
@Have you seen ARK the animated series?
Its out!
Adult animation
I hear the Warframe Man in the Wall with the "Hey Kiddo". 😂🤣
Bringing the community together through your cinematics that describe ARK's lore and how far you've come from the Island map is amazing to ee. Can't wait to see what else you come up with
wow, i've been playing this game for years, and was only able to piece together like 2% of this story. thanks for this, man
Having played through ARK and the DLC's I knew there was a story...but I had no idea how epic it truly was. The game leaves these tiny little disjointed pieces of lore scattered throughout, which I had just attributed to a mediocre attempt at story-telling...but I was wrong. Thank you for taking the time to create this wondrous presentation of the story. This makes me want to begin the journey all over again.
Funny how both ARK and Daek Souls both barely hold your hand at all, seem to have no lore... and yet both are hard af, and both have a deep lore which you must discover.
And they have a Reason for the Respawn system, games that explain why you come back to life in the lore are always great
@@addis7902 Also Minecraft might have a reason for respawning, if you believe it has lore, and FNAF might've at first, but not anymore.
I’m a baby Ark player on the beaches of the Island, struggling to survive with crude weaponry.
The souls games give plenty of tips and hints, and lore is being just dumped on you at every turn and every item you pick up.
Ark just drops you on a beach and says good luck.
@@RTard-pc8et That’s so true. My google search history for the last few weeks is predominantly Ark related as I near constantly have to look things up to figure out how to do things.
On the plus side though I’m now building stone forts, having tamed a breeding pair of pterodactyls and Argentavis plus I’ve advanced into the Iron Age. 😁 I have two characters, one on single player and another on a friendly PvE unofficial server and other players have been teaching me loads.
I finally found crystal and obsidian on the northeastern mountain and built my fort nearby so hopefully soon I’ll be entering the technological age equivalent to the real world. But… having seen other players and their bases I gather there is futuristic technology in my future.
Still. Baby steps. Eventually I’m gonna have to tame a Rex.
Am I crazy to think that this could be turned into a legit movie franchise!!! The actual story is incredible and this is coming from someone who barely touched this game so am basically a 3rd party perspective! Incredible work done on this I just wish the story never ended! I need another 2 hours!!!!! ❤❤❤
This was incredible. To finally hear the story I've never been able to piece together. And all the work you did to make such a seamless presentation off all the clips. FANTASTIC job mate!!
Yay, thank you! Cheers :)
Love how on Abberation, there's a group of highly intelligent tek wielding cities of humans and a random frat bro group
As someone that has over 10,000 hours on this fun little dinosaur game, thank you for this video it was one of the most well made videos I've seen in a long time. In my opinion ark is the best early access game ever made, but its definitely my favorite game I've ever played.
This was an awesome journey and you are lowkey the reason we all understand why it was awesome. Without you I dont think a lot of people would have tried to find out the lore and the drama that is ARK.
Even with its blatant shortcomings, Ark is one of the greatest video game franchises to exist.
Thanks for taking the time to do this recap! I really enjoyed it and I'm excited to see what ya do next!
Thank you Neddy. You took ark to a level that even my friend who don't game could understand my obsession. From the day it came out I've lived in ark. I've read all the notes, etc. You've got the nail with all your videos. Can't wait to see what you bring us in the future❤
Glad to hear it!
This is incredible! I have already known the story for a while through your videos, and now I’m gonna watch it again one more time before ASA
Awesome! Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic video explaining everything I needed and wanted to know about Ark's story, thanks Neddy!
Incredible, just pure talent while making this video, and the storymakers of the game really did it! 🎉❤
Thanks for taking us on another amazing ride, Ned!!! Some amazing memories caught in there - I have been part of the fan bases of many, many things over the years, however never has anything given me so much joy and pain, ups and downs, friends and foes as Ark ever did. You brought these fictional pieced-together tidbits of lore together for us and made something amazing! You brought me to both laughter and tears through this journey (Diana's final moments hit hard man! And I KNEW what was coming the whole time!) I am glad for all of that. I just hope that the future will bring more happy memories for us tree punching dinosaur
its been an honor :D
I've currently got the flu so watching this will help to make my inability to sleep tonight more enjoyable
I wanted to see if the ark siries had a new episode, but then i watched the trailer for the new game, and i ended up watching this; One of the greatest videos of all time
Amazingly well done, have been playing ark since the betas first released on consoles and I have played all DLC’s but never really understood all the lore and story and this made it amazingly clear. Well done!
This was absolutely stunning and was able to convey this story in a weirdly realistic and almost familiar way, thank you and the team for creating this incredible piece of work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Insane production Value. great video
Thanks for watching :)
I never knew there was such a huge back story under the hood of Ark. I praise you for putting together such a comprehensive video about the Ark story. Without a doubt it, this video must have been a long arduous process to complete, but it certainly shows your passion towards this game. Thank you.
I've been looking for a good and comprehensive explanation of the greatness that is the hidden Ark story. Thank you for doing it right before Ascended and upping the hype. And thank you for doing it better than I could have seen it done when I was looking for it years ago.
This is so great!! Once again you bring life to what many just skip. Thank you to all that worked on this.
Our pleasure!
Definitely one of the best stories out there in gaming. Part of the fun was discovering it for yourself. Really gave a sense of wonder and the soundtrack made it even better.
This was more fun than 100+ hours of ark, and I found plenty of explorers notes
i have always been super intuiged by ark lore but was never able to understand it too well, thank you so so much for this video i enjoyed it more then i ever couldve wanted to!!
Never had anything but a few tidbits of the story within ARK until now. This is fantastic work and I really enjoyed having all those little disjointed tidbits assembled into a complete story. Thanks!
I started this video with the intention of having it on in the background while playing runescape. 10 minutes in and i stopped gaming because i just wanted to continue watching, and easily deserves a sub. Amazing video.
This is the best ark journy description I've ever seen 👏
Btw. This is the most I've ever heard Neddy being so exaggerated of the characters in a good way
this was amazing. i enjoyed your voiceover i enjoyed the pace of the story. you captured the emotions of the characters and the weight of the story. thank you for making this
This was absolutely FANTASTIC 🔥🔥🔥 My English level is not enough to describe my emotions and feelings. So, thank you for this movie 🥺 I wish you have one million subscribers, keep going 💪🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of if not the best story from a MMO game that I've ever seen, awesome work piecing this all together and for spending god only knows how long on making this video, keep up the good work Ned
Know what I find weird, Raia had the strength, and tames to take on the Guardian of that ARK... A wonder she didn't after going through what she had. BUT she Vowed to Survive, so I guess that's the reason she didn't do anything potentially Hazardous. Guess only time will tell(if they touch up the old stories moving forward, that is). As Always Neddy my Man, Thank you, and your team for all the hard work you put into these stories+
It's cool that the game actually implies Raia defeated the manticore, as Helena actually believed she did so, in her note 28, after Raia recognized Rockwell's Element as the property of the station's guardian.
This is also implied in Raia’s last note because she said she saw dangers that would have paralyzed her with fear if she hadn't changed, and she drew two manticores in that note, implying that the manticore was the danger she faced.
I also believe Raia went into the tek cave and maybe even faced the gods (the overseer) as she said, in her last note, that she saw things John would never believe. Considering John had seen wyverns and the destructive power of the obelisks, the Manticore or the teleportation technology of the obelisks would not be surprising to him. So she could be talking about the tek cave. However, I don't think we will find out if this is true or not because the writer is someone else. But that’s a headcanon that I like.
@@csds2240 Hmmm, wow I'm amazed at how little attention to detail I have *face palm* as you are Absolutely right about that, but then also why was she still on the same ARK, as we all know you get cycled to the next, and so on... after beating the guardians/overseer at least. That is the only "proof" that makes me believe she didn't in-fact face any of them. But the images, and those words spoken are very compelling...
@@HustlinHugh Well, the explorer notes characters had to use the tek cave consoles to transfer. When Timur defeated the manticore he was not transferred, just as Nerva was not transferred after defeating the overseer.
Soo, fkn , epic!!! Thank you very much, the time this would have taken to finish, all the editing, My hats off to you and the fellow survivers that helped you pave this pathway for all too see, Thank you survivors , amazing game, absolutely an extraordinary adventure
Im amazed at first of all, how insanely complicated the storyline is, whilst it still is comprehensive and makes sense, and you also told it great
As an ARK player that started when the game first released, this was an amazing adventure through the last 8 years, and it's the first time I've ever seen the full story from start to finish. It really encapsulates the dedication and the storytelling of the people who created ARK, even if sometimes it took years to get different pieces in place. Thank you for this great video.
I'm new to the channel, but god I am so thankful to be here now.
I'm eager to go into ASA despite the dull outlook on things, Ark was one of my favourite games ever. I only ever played singleplayer because I had quarrels with the way servers worked, ping issues and I just generally didn't fit into a lot of community spaces. It's hard because I always had that itch to play with people that had the same adoration for the game, but I never really managed it.
I'm hoping to change that with ASA. I want to make it something truly special in my heart as I go into a new chapter in my life.
Here's to hoping that Wildcard can do what they set out to do and make something that we'll all love.
Thanks for the support cookie :)
This is a masterpiece! Congratulations on the creation of this supercut, to you and your team. Very, very well done!
Nice dude! good job making this video, really enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for this, Neddy and team. This was... incredible. Moving. A fabulous retelling of an amazing story... one we didn't just get to hear, but actually experience. That makes it all the more special. And it's great to be reminded of the entire story arc, before starting a new adventure in ASA.
What a job Neddy. Brilliantly put together and narrated. A fantastic recap of an emotional journey.
Thank you to you and the team who worked on this. Legends
Amazing and Congratulations. I'm playing ASA The Island now and you have given new meaning, intent and purpose to my playthrough (not to mention I'm now actually listening to/reading all the explorer notes, as well as being fully into Helena and some of the other key characters). Thanks heaps again for this incredible gift to the ARK community!
I can't wait to see if we get a more detailed story of arat prime in ASA. If we do, I look forward to hearing it from neddy
Loved the video man, could really feel all the effort you put into editing n sewing it all into one cohesive unit. The music choices, scenes n everything are amazing. Thank you.
Much appreciated!
Jesus christ the effort put into this is INSANE. All of the in-game portrayals make it so much better.
I have been waiting years for someone to do this and I'm so excited to find someone who did!! Such an amazing job on the video. It was like a movie that I had been waiting an eternity to see! It finally put the story into a perspective that I could finally piece together without all the puzzle pieces scattered everywhere. I am so incredibly impressed. Job well done!
this is really beautiful , 2h was worth it
You did great on this! I never paid attention to the story in game with over 1700 hours. Glad to know the full thing now! Thank you!
This was definitely a much more epic story than i thought it would be! Good job to you (and presumably) your team!
best long video i have seen in a LONG time Great job
Typing at the start: I have my snacks and a drink. Time to learn about the lore before ASA launches! Maybe play some ARK as well during and prepare to go to the next area.
Hope you have fun without cryos on ASA
Enjoy :)
@@dark9588 I don't even use them anyway.
You are already 1 step closer to beating everyone then because everyone else his to get use to it
@@NeddyTheNoodle great vid btw can't wait for more
Honestly, this is the best ARK video I have ever watched, you just describe the story of ARK so good and it's really enjoyable to watch even if it's 2 hours. Great job Ned :D
Wow, thank you Marti :)
I've known about Ark for years but never in a thousand years would i ever guess it had any lure 😂. plus I've never actually played but this gives me new appreciation for the game.
the amount of love time and care you put in to this shows. Thank you frum the bottom of my hart for taking us on this journey i look foreword to more of your content .
Glad you enjoy it!
Keep it up noodle and see you after the great ascension
It’s starting at 00:00 Dutch time
Word een leuke nacht dan! (als je er voor opblijft natuurlijk)
Great video man. I played Ark back when it just dropped on xbox and stopped playing AFTER MY RAPTOR WAS MURDERED. So I had no idea about all of this lore
Don’t do pvp dude
It wasn't even pvp :(
@@marcusharris188 sorry about your raptor then, lol. I would feel the same losing my argentavis
Truly amazing video the amount of time to figure out the lore and make a story would take forever non the less actually adding cinematic behind all of it to line up and gameplay bits and pieces
The lore of Ark is a convoluted tale. But you told it well and made it far more cohesive. It was a long video, but I enjoyed sitting through it nonetheless. I'm fairly new to the game, but I used cheats to unlock the explorer notes on the Island and was starting to read translations of some of the notes online to learn some of the lore. The amount of work that went into this video had to be enormous. Well done.
happy to be a part of this
Rewatching this after 3 months.. still getting goosebumbs at some parts.. music choice from ark on point ... voice acting on point.. this is such an emotional ride... I wonder, if we ever do get that animated series, if they manage to get across the story the same way as the full series you did on here.
This was 10x better than the animated series. I liked the series decent enough though.
Such an emotional story when explained this way, wow. Turned my top 5 game ever to my favourite game ever. The story explained by you is amazing and there is nothing quite like it. It would make an excellent series or movie and hope one day it does become one as the potential from this story is unbelievable and extremely amazing. Loved it all thank you
Man. That was a beyond amazing storyline. Thank u for this
Words can't describe how beautiful and well made this video is. As a first day ARK player, it made me extremely emotional and had me crying multiple times. Thank you so much for your work and effort to create this masterpiece of a video. You managed to capture the story in all the right places, and it just goes to show how incredibly deep ARKs story is, something i think that nobody would have expected back in the day. Thank you ♥💙💚
I've been playing ARK since it was in EA Alpha, and man the way you made this video was just stunning! It was a whole experience, with the lovely scenes and beautiful storytelling. You really made all of those engrams so much more than quick ways to level up!! Can't wait to see where Ark goes from here and thank you for all your hard work!
I have at least a year on the first game and have just started my journey on the next game. But never until you could I have comprehended the complete, beautiful, and vast story of Ark. Thank you for that and the beautiful narration you did too. This video was an emotional rollercoaster for me but it was very much worth the 2 hours of my life it took to complete it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
