    When he said the 3 obelisk was scattered across the map... I tried to watch the whole video... this is poor excuse of a review, it's as informational as the infamos polygon Cup Head review... its like a review based on 3-5% of a game is similar to that same guy saying he looked at the sun on a picture and tells you it's just fire.

    Wildcard would probably get mis-manager of the century if it wasn't for that FTP taking first place. If you are like me and prefer the tiny details to matter, then you'll certainly notice the muzzle flash coming out of the middle of the gun in the "cut scene". If they can't get a cinematic right, then the game itself stands no hope. Gen2 was never even finished and is still loaded with bugs. As much as I love the game, I'd never give Snailcard another red cent due to the cannibalization of the fans and their constant and consistent failures at fixing bugs within the game.
    I doubt a single Wildcard/Snail employee has done a single mission on Gen2. If they had, the game would never have been released in its current state. Despite the many thousands of forum posts, Wildcard saw fit to just remove the posts and pretend the bug isn't there. It's actually impossible to finish Gen2 due to the mission bugs.

    @aev6075 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Everyone HAS to understand that this "new game" IS ARK survival evolved. This is by no means a new game, this is not a remaster. This is the same exact game with the same exact source code with couple of mods slapped into it. All the new visuals are thanks to the engine, not the game. This is a scam, not a game.

    I’ll get it while it’s on sale right now. I built an awesome home on a raft in the last game when it was still fairly new. I then built a huge base on top of the volcano that fell into lava in a later update and made me stop playing.

    You haven't even got into the actual game. You haven't touched caves. You haven't touched the ocean. You haven't touched taming. You haven't touched breeding. You haven't touched bosses. You haven't touched element.
    It sounds like you punched some trees, and got wrecked by raptors and a snake.

    I just tried this on Game Pass, and it was by far the worst video game I’ve ever played. I do not understand the appeal. I’ve been gaming for 40 years, played across 9 generations of consoles and PC, played every genre, and this has the worst controls, the most inscrutable UI, and the most confusing gameplay I’ve ever had the misfortune of playing. This is like the anti-videogame. I get people not wanting hand holding, but this game tells you literally nothing. The controls make no sense, and seem to be deliberately awful. You literally need to read multiple Reddit posts to figure out how to do anything, and even then it’s not clear if you’re doing it right because the game doesn’t give you feedback. When there are thousands of actually good video games out there, why waste your time with this steaming pile of garbage?

    As for this so called "reviewer", who uses words like "There is a slight choppiness in the frame rate here and there" and "monotony does settle in from time to time, its a consequence of MANY survival games", i dont think he could be more Bias if he tried. Even what is negative, he manages to soften it up like its all just fine and normal. lol.
