the pants i wore while playing this started out white, but were dyed brown as the walls of a taco bell bathroom by the end

This game was such a realistic experience for me it triggered my PTSD from my experiences with stalking

it's ok i guess

Despite the many pros ARK has, it also has plenty of cons. Here is a list of both:
- Amazing graphics. If you can run it on its highest settings, I recommend doing that (To an extent, read cons).
- Dinosaurs.
- Fun sandbox-style game play.
- Dinosaurs.
- Great concept behind it.
- Dinosaurs.
- Amazing notifications when servers are going down. Usually about thirty to sixty minutes.
- Dinosaurs.
- Everything seems to work.
- Dinosaurs.
- Game is not fully completed yet.
- DINOSAURS!

- Game is not fully completed yet.
- Memory leak issues (why not to have it on full graphics).
- Exploiting happens here and there (though I've only had one issue with it).
- Some features didn't make too much sense, however were corrected briskly after I actually noticed them (such as no stone window frames, ceilings, or doorways).

All-in-all, this game is a great sandbox-style game with amazing features. It has a great overlaying pre-historic survival theme, as well as a PvP-PvE crafting shtick going on with it. On top of that, there are modern-day inventions such as the gun (or even the lampost!) included. Oh, and did I mention there are dinosaurs? That's one hell of a way to travel. People who compare this game to Minecraft shouldn't - ARK is better in its own way. I can only expect great things from this game here on out. I hope many other people enjoy this game as much as I do.
