I was actually digging around Snail's recent press releases and Q1 2024 Financial Report earlier today... ASA has sold roughly 2,0 mil units since launch.. ASE has sold 0,6 mil units in Q1 2024.. The fact ASE is still selling relatively well, considering its "outdated" shouldnt be a highlight in their report.. It should be a warning sign..
I'm sure Maxis or EA or whatever see the same with Sims when they first drop a new one but have 22000 dlc for the last game, its hardly time to call it dead yet.
There's no reason for the series S to look that bad.. especially when other UE5 games look and performance better on the S, it's shocking how bad wildcard is
Just today game crashed on ps5 was transferring to scorched earth and my character has gone. Over 500 hours of play lost. I don't think i have i have it in me to start again RIP.
"A 4th revenue stream but we still can't see massive improvements to the game..." Massive? Hell, they don't even care if the game functions properly or the maps are even finished. Massive improvements? Let's see if we can get them to make small improvements like fixing 9 year old bugs or having 20 creatures out and none of them fall through the map. Just functionality is almost too much to ask of this group at times...
I wish i could love this game i like some of the new features especially the new building and mods but the Series X version looks terrible since SE update its so plixelated and just cant stand to play😢
Still having spawning issues with mods or without i tried the island without mods and cant find trilobytes and tons stuck in rocks, my modded island nor center garugas mods dont work for me even the paid one
I can't even get my nitrado server to run, it was constantly crashing when the pyro dropped, nitrado claimed to fix it, 4 hours afyer the "fix" it wasn't even starting and now nitrado refuse to refund me because I'm fucking done with them
I got the pyro. It’s actually very helpful on single player. 5 bucks seemed like a limit for me. 10 bucks for visual skins and the game still has issues? I can’t justify that
So take a survial games mechanics: food,water,heat,cold, night, day, etc. Add in prehistoric creatures, allow for builds to be created like minecraft = home made Ark called something else, cant get sued as they can't own prehistoric animals and cant copyright a genre. Outclass them with thier own game.
Ark is basically going to become just like fortnite its not going to have its own identity anymore just be a hodgepodge of different IPs. I'm not surprised at all that they are doing this i knew they would do this the second they made a point of showing the Micky Mouse skin or hell even back when they said there would be paid mods. All of this is even worse when you consider that they basically just copy-pasted the old ark code with little to no improvements.
Who the hell is having these technical problems with Ark? The game runs fine for me. I agree, they should focus on optimization but also, the game has no issues for my tribemates and I.
I've been saying the same thing. I'm guessing most of them are unofficial or single player and have to many mods activated. Or they are using subpar hardware.
Speaking of ruining IP's - Wizards of the coast have their own fans rioting. I can only imagine what collaborations are to come between them and Snail.
I wouldn't mind it either but I can't personally have certain dinos spawn with mods or without any it's frustrating how many times I tried something and just started over the game needs polish and love cause it shouldn't be having this much trouble IMHO.
There is no reason it should be this expensive the skins especially as the pyromaine is cheaper and it’s a full creature not saying that we should be paying for the pyromaine but in comparison it’s worth it more then skins
Not too mad at this to be honest, but it does suck that they have more pay to win stuff in the pipeline. If the advantage dinos and items were included I think I would feel better about the skins costing money. I'm still not buying the skins though
Unless we all decide to completely stop playing the game as a whole until they improve, balance, & fix the bugs, nothing will happen at all. Boycott the game and see how much they start listening after that. Especially since literally ALL their media and advertising are streamers that choose to promote them.
Ark isn't ark anymore, it's FortWarArkNightCraft....survival of the richest. Sell me a premium mod pack that fixes all the bugs on all the maps, then I'll pay, aside from that, I'll burn my money before I give anymore to this side show...FARK...!!
This is the second remaster of the game I don’t care if we have to pay for it and they did listen they dropped the price from what they originally leaked out for the game the fact salty players are complaining about skins and some nice tames behind a pay wall it’s not game breaking if don’t want to play the game then don’t they giving us new shit this what ASE should have been with mods etc game runs much better ASE ever did in it early stage of development beautiful map and not just some bland map with no folliage you want complain about people losing characters and stability issues fine but be fair and look how ark was when it first released Dino’s had almost no animation I had spinos sliding across the map
why would WC optimize the game when they can flash something shiny and people will buy it... idiots are the reason why they get away with it, and why I have not bought it at all... even sailed the seas for it and decided to get rid of the free version it was so shit xD
Actually embarrassing where ark as gone literally moving further and further away from what the game is meant to be . Adults paying for this need their head testing
I'm not surprised the game runs like trash. ASE ran like crap and was fixed by PC Hardware upgrades and 2 console generations. (Well, 1 generation plus the mid gen upgrade of One X and PS4 Pro) They didn't know how to optimise a game, then and still don't know now.
You gotta be frakin kidding me, Power Rangers really?????? Now i know why i stopped watching the news on this game............... Why not Voltron, which is way cooler, or maybe the Transformers
to say we should be getting all of these things free is a bit much man. to claim the tall tales as trash is wrong. you can use that stuff on every map. its not scorched exclusive. i know that 2/3rd of the content for it is still yet to even come out but id even pay 10 for the western pack as it is. the MMPR pack is a little pricey for JUST skins. all be it like 15 total skins. I WANT THE MEGAZORD! lol. while the pyromane is almost useless in the center arena since its half water, its still pvp pay to win. i hope the rest of the the Fantastics are not that damn powerful. luckily for the rest of the premium mods most of it goes to the modder. Maybe WC/snail needs a bug specific team to fix the problems and let everyone keep cranking away. i know it comes from a place of love because we know the game can be amazing. .. but the amount of trashing that comes from the ark community is pathetic.
but no real answer for my other points? the digital foundry review? the mixed steam scores? this isnt just asmall section of fans anymore moaning, this is huge amounts fo peopel not happy, its not just whinging and complaining, if more people complained and stopped buying this shit they would have to improve teh game
@@JadePG2 Yeah i mean My SE character crashed and disapeared 5 seconds after i ascended . Pissed. hell yeah. just started over. the scores are warrented. it is buggy as hell and frame rate sucks ass at times. but i have 300 hours in ASA already and have made money on it. its done me ok enough. idk we can bitch and moan all day but does it actually fix anything without trying to find an alternative than sitting there arms crossed "im not playing that". i get where you are coming from with that. i also live in 7 days to die land
Ark is the fruit salad of games.. coconut and nuts included. Time and resources wasted that could have been spent towards optimizing and squashing bugs. People spending a single dime during beta/early access clearly support the abysmal state of the game. No integrity whatsoever.
so carry on haveing one of the worst unoptimized games going (according to digital foundry) instead of asking for it to be fixed? keep sipping that simp koolaid

How much did they pay for the licensing to do this? Probs why they are broke af.

Its snail games now
Not shocking at all, they have a reputation after all
Series S is a bad investment. It's just a small step up from a PS4.
@@natedawg8778 yeah come back when you know what you are talking about...
@@tyler328 You are complaining that the weakest Xbox is underperforming. Stop complaining and buy a Series X.
I’m so glad I’m subbed to you. You always keep me up to date with everything about ark. Thank you
“Go go money grabberrrrrrs” 🤣🤣🤣 don’t ever change Jade loooool
I feel like running away and never looking back
For a tenner, my dino's need to be combining into a megazord for me to be buying it 🤣
Just today game crashed on ps5 was transferring to scorched earth and my character has gone. Over 500 hours of play lost. I don't think i have i have it in me to start again RIP.
I was fine paying 5 euros for the pyronmane but 10 euros for a bunch of extremly ugly useless skins no thx
Same
How do I unsee this?
tf is that supposed to mean
Thanks for linking the Digital Foundry video.

Omg the skins look like shit lol
i don't have the "custom creature costume skin" in the page of the left of cosmetic and i don't know how to get the skin for my dino ?
10 bucks for skins. Holy Fortnite, Batman.
There’s an bigger issue when I update the game my mods are uninstalled now
We need offline protection servers not this bs
I am not paying for any mods or anything else until they fix the game

Im on xbox series x. And the skins arent working
When i put on any of the ranger skins my character goes invisible.
Am I doing something wrong ?
The rex skin animation is like the opening sequence of West Side Story 😂...looks like it's clicking its fingers
Still no drop beams for us console players
thats because you have view distance to low, im on console and drop beams show up just fine
@@VeryCryptic Its not just view distance. Global Illumination affects that too. Atleast on PC.
@@Raven777777777777777 whatever it is its not the games fault, its settings, thats what i meant with it
Im on a series x and my beams are visible
they probably should have gone with legally distinct not power rangers to avoid the licensing fees, just ask telltale those things pile up

Not defending WC, but there are different departments, DEVs make cosmetic DEVs doing bug fixing DEVs making new things ECT.
Speaking of ruining IP's - Wizards of the coast have their own fans rioting. I can only imagine what collaborations are to come between them and Snail.
I was going to get this if they hadn’t made then dino skins but more like how you can make a mek. Would have been way cooler
Opportunities were missed here for sure.
No green ranger? I bet it comes at a later date for 20 😂
I can't find it anywhere. Is it a paid deal c or non? I've seen people saying it's a mod, but I don't. I don't know
its a $10 premium mod
Are we still able to buy it?
if it had the green ranger i might thing about it , but snail you got to get it together man .........
I think the Power Ranger skins are cool and all, but I think they should really prioritize the game
It also gives emotes and yes I love power rangers haha and I bought the mod, I don't mind paying it 😂😂
you can always just not buy it, im not buying any mod...but i still dont understand how people have any issue on ps5
i just want the game to run smoothly, iron out the myriad of issues first then add stuff once the game is running well. its not rocket science.
What are the people at Wild Card smoking? No one, and i mean NO ONE asked for a power rangers dlc!!!
They must think everyone is 10ys old!
ASA is genuinely such a scam and the fact they get away with is actually insane ASA has all the same problems that ASE has and more
immersion is dead, I'm fine with weapon/Structure skins and can put up with some armor skins but dino skins ruin immersion completely.
i got it lol it’s kinda cool not even gonna lie to you bro just needs a update and few fixed bugs
I actually don't mind this I grew up with power rangers
I wouldn't mind it either but I can't personally have certain dinos spawn with mods or without any it's frustrating how many times I tried something and just started over the game needs polish and love cause it shouldn't be having this much trouble IMHO.
Also the new pyromane spawns fine but not trilobytes on the island
They just need to add a space ship for the next map😂
Ascended has more bugs than evolved as much as I love the games i really hope Ark 2 is different.
There is no reason it should be this expensive the skins especially as the pyromaine is cheaper and it’s a full creature not saying that we should be paying for the pyromaine but in comparison it’s worth it more then skins
There us no reason for it to exist lol
Ok, it's not p2w content, just skin pack
Not too mad at this to be honest, but it does suck that they have more pay to win stuff in the pipeline. If the advantage dinos and items were included I think I would feel better about the skins costing money. I'm still not buying the skins though
What is ark these days.. all these mods n skins make it a diff game.. u can polish a turd but ...
Cant*
I’m sorry but no Green Ranger, not buying
he was evil and didnt join up til like end of teh first season no? mayeb they gonna charge another 10 bucks for it in next dlc loool
@@JadePG2 10 bucks for only green ranger hell yeah! Wildcard is looking a bit like EA "You want to ride this Direwolf? That costs $10"
Could have at least added him as white. Or make green skin for a boss fight 😂
@@JadePG2as if you know that lol
wildcard have always either been useless or don't care and they don't need to as ark stans will still play it and pay for it
Nicely done!
Honestly. Dont plan to buy ascended. Ill just play evolved. Way more content.
This was a huge disappointment i was expecting a whole map based around power rangers not just some skins 😢
No megazord or green/white Rangers?! What a steaming pile of 💩
Unless we all decide to completely stop playing the game as a whole until they improve, balance, & fix the bugs, nothing will happen at all.
