The bones were good it’s the flesh that needs work. And all that time was spent in single-player, almost entirely on the original map. Clocking in at 147.5 hours, ARK is my 4th most-played game on Steam. Having said that, if the end result is ARK on more stable game-code… maybe it’s worth the re-admission price. This shouldn’t come as that much of a surprise, considering Wildcard is rather infamous for releasing a paid DLC while the original game was still in Early Access. Cue up the Adam Jensen “I didn’t ask for this.” Supposedly there will be more details coming out over the next few days, but the underlying kick in the teeth is that Studio Wildcard is rather pointedly ending the development of its original game in favor of a star-studded sequel. No, really, look at the (pointless) trailer. ARK 2 has been announced, starring Vin Diesel Although I have logged 143 hours into the game – making it my 5th most-played game on Steam – I have never actually made it to the rocket launching endgame, so I would be fine with the latter. Considering how complex and fragile just one colony can be, Klei is either targeting hardcore vets of the original game or will be introducing methods to trivialize some of the fundamental problems players encounter (heat, water usage, leaning on and then running out of algae or coal, etc).

As Reddit is largely my source of gaming news these days, periodically I find that several items relevant to my interests have been buried by random nonsense.
