The Downfall of ARK 

From punch tree for thach to future technology in 1 generation

Did you know it is supposed to be futuristic? Ark was always suppoed to become a game about the prehistoric meets future space stuff.. idk how people are so disturbed by this

What were you expecting when you saw the futuristic implant in your wrist and the giant huge futuristic obelisk in the distance lol

Thanks for recommending somewhere to learn this stuff. I remember playing Ark when it first came out, no DLC yet, and I liked it but I got frustrated with taming, offline raids and grieffing.

Ark has such amazing lore

@@gogolemon888 i didn’t read much notes but i can tell the rockwell boss is very important to the lore

Glad this is here, I was about to mention it xD

I wish I did

Uhhg

Sadly no. I booed out just before extinction after the wtf that was aberration. Went from a grounded survival game to the OG fortnite level of ridiculousness

It is and its not. Its kind of a overexageration, although Its true its nuts how the Game has changed Its kind of justified by the Lore and if u spend enough time to understand It, It makes sense and Its funny

@@xenosayain1506 extinction was my favorite dlc because of all the cool new dinos close runner up was aberration but I really couldn’t get into genesis I have 2500 hours on ark and had full tek and stuff like that but when I got to genesis I was just bored of it

Are you sure about that?

That's where you're wrong. Ark is a mobile game.

they ported ark to mobile

Ark mobile is barely Ark though. It's so different from the PC and console version. It's no where close to other mobile ports in comparison to their main counterparts

I prolly got a bunch of *thousands* hours or ark mobile, im mainly playing mobile games cuz i ain’t got the money for consoles or a pc. The first problem with ark mobile is that I’ve never seen a game with so much hackers, literally more than 50% of the players in multiplayers r using hacks. The second problem is that u can’t have a private server with ur friends for free. The third and i think maybe the biggest ark mobile is the worst optimized game ever (literally), i own a 2017 iPad Pro (i was playing ark in like 2019-2021) and even if the lowest graphics (it makes the game looks super bad) i still used to crash, i had a friend that bought the best mobile device for gaming and he was crashing too (even with low graphics). The fourth problem is the bugs, ark mobile has soooo much bugs and glitches, some r useful but some can also break the game and ur device.

The biggest turn off for me was the bright ass sky vs the dark ass ground. They seriously couldn't fix that?? And the bugs omg. Lost all my first wyverns to the same stinking bug.

True, it was in the game from the beginning and does follow the lore.

@@lucasgroen5519 fr it’s literally called survival “evolved”

tbh up into 2020 when i saw all the new expansions I thought it was just a funny lil dino game with a big strong guy controlling you, but hell was I wrong. turns out that big strong guy has type 2 fungus warts and went buck shit wild when he found a funny called element and injected it into himself like a heroine addict. or at least that's what I think happened

But from a gameplay perspective it absolutely sucks d1ck.

whats up checkmark

same

Checkmark moment

Same

Keep it that way. Unless you play single player or PvE, if you have an addictive personality it'll suck you in with no semblance of return. From a guy with 11k hours, and there are people that have spent WAY more time than that still playing. Toxic community too, I would know, I participated.

youre gonna pay full price for dlc. LOL

@@deathrager2404 How the hell is ARK 2 "DLC?"

@@Syenthros it barely improves from the first. hell it even is a downgrade. what is this sim roleplay cancer? get lost with this shit.

the real message

(And then attacked and wiped by a mega tribe lmfao)

Ark is a rollercoaster of emotions

This is why ark has the worst online community imo, the only way you can play with ur friends is on a public server, but ppl like u in mec suits feel that it’s necessary to wipe out a couple of guys with a stone base. Only the most miserable can have a base an online acc

@@noahh687 skill issue +L

Yeah the only time my alpha tribe ever got raided was by undermeshers. On Legacy servers a mega tribe came to wipe the server and wouldn't even touch our base (that wasn't even alpha), because before the turret cap, we had so much turret density that it would cause you to freeze at 1 frame per minute if u triggered the wall. + the server was getting ddossed daily.

personally i always had a soft spot for aberration just because the map alone was so beautiful.

me and a friend always kept our main base on island and little outposts on other maps

Yeah me and my buddy always stuck to that map to avoid all the op dinos that infested the other maps... until they added the option to transfer dinos. Suddenly im chilling in my strawhouse hidden deep in the woods only to get dickballed by a thermal seeking owl. That was the last straw for me lol

@@jacob8858 bob

I stopped playing cause it took up +200GB with all the DLCs but it was fun

@@kutlachakela Yeah me too

Arm... that is the hardest dlc there is

Aberration is so hard lol

Abberation was a pain in the ass to survive your first night in

thats still canon tho?

@@someroboguy well yeah, i should have said the presentation instead of the lore because thats what i was talking about

@@momoavatar4960 final boss was a drone tho

@@momoavatar4960 and a lot of other clear sci-fi shit

Yeah Genesis story line was a little hard to follow, but it did give a lot of the answers to the lore of the game. Like yes extinction was earth just very small pockets of it were habitable and your character was sent there to send the signal to the arks to allow them to descend back to earth because after Aberation you find out the arks malfunctioned and they were designed to help re-terraform earth to make it livable again and the ark trials were designed to prepare the human race for the world they’d have to reclaim. You also find out the human race destroyed earth with element based weapons and with the use of elemental technology they were able to clone the Dino’s, but not only that but change their DNA so they could be capable of being tamed. They later weaponized the clone Dino’s which the results were the tek Dino’s we see in game. The war was set between two factions of the human race and after realizing earth was on its last breath they called a cease fire and attempted to find ways for the human race to survive the end of the world. One group created the arks after the Genesis ship left earth leaving the rest of humanity behind. I believe Santiago lead the group that created the arks because he’s the only person who’s been cloned on both the ark and on Genisis. The Genisis ship had access to more tek and DNA which was hand picked to be the best of the best of the human race of that era where as the Ark project was desperate and used DNA from all eras of human history which Santiago was considered a genius and a weapons expert so he made the cut for both. The end of extinction Helena as a homodaous is able to establish a connection to the Genesis ship for a brief period of time when sending the signal to the arks to inform them its safe to begin the terraform and notices the corruption on the ship. Which is why she creates HLNA a AI copy of herself and creates a clone body of your character on the genisis ship and uploads your consciousness to the clone with HLNA since the real Helena needs to stay on earth to help the human race rebuild. You find out on Genesis Rockwell was able to upload himself to the ship from Aberration and was planning to use the Genesis ship cloning machine to recreate humanity in his image. Your character manages to disconnect the uncorrupted ring from the Genesis ship before blowing it up and set its target for an unknown planet which activates the awakening process for all the sleeping clones to be launched towards that planet. Which from that point begins the Ark 2 cinematic trailer. Basically at arks current stage the human race exists both on an unclaimed earth that’s been terraformed and an unknown planet which ark 2 will take place on and slightly explains the strange humanoid things we saw in the trailer. Most likely natives to that planet I’d assume and the dinosaurs came to that planet with us from the crashed Genesis ring and would be considered an invasive species there.

Thats why its the last dlc. They just said fuck it.

Honestly gen 1 was still somewhat enjoyable cause things were new. Gen 2 was just so messy

@@ganymede8257 the missions were so dumb. Even if your playing single player you need to do the team missions. How does that even make sense to the devs?

@@youtubeshortuser the missions are easy af (now, i know back in the first month alpha level brute bosses were near impossible IE alpha level brute spino)

@@reekerman1012 I know, but sometimes you don't want to play dodo basketball all by yourself all against yourself. And the fact that you have to do that many missions to fight the boss is so demotivating.

Thank you :)

Thanks :)

I just don't think my audience is one that plays ark

@@MilkManSteve I played it. But the reason I like your videos isnt because I know the games, its because your edits, commentary and humor. I will watch every video, even if they are about games I dont know

@@maxbimek8123 :D

That's straight up trailer footage

Lets gooooo

When did you start? I started it day 3 and now have 25k hours (0_0)

Oh it goes much deeper than just that. Basically the ,,Arks‘‘ are ripped out parts from the earth as the last way to save humanity after they fucked the earth. So they are floating above the destroyed earth, and you spawn there and try to survive and solve the mystery cause you now nothing

troll

ed

please don't kill me

@@MilkManSteve he has the high ground

@@MilkManSteve it’s treason then

Me too tbh

My mind is also blown that there is a survival game where I can go into space and ride space whales with laser cannons, and also play basketball in the same day

Thank you, glad you liked it :)

Thank you :)

that being said tho, people with thousands of hours with no pvp experience really arent getting everything that the game has to offer

I'm glad some people agree, it is very funny though, but I'd personally prefer to go back to the old stuff which Ark 2 seems like it's going to do so that'll be great to see again
