I completely agree with his review. Game is fun for a while, then you realize you're stuck grinding out the same content over and over. Also don't even get me started on the lootbox mechanics in this game.

I love how Ark is a classification of severity of bugs XD

@BeerBuntenbach Also, that's why reviews show the number of gameplay hours, so that people have the context. I am stating my opinion after 33 hours of it currently, and I am 100% sure that it will not change drastically. It's not misleading in any way, and many people found it helpful. Go make your own review if you want to share your opinion, instead on judging other people's opinion.

@BeerBuntenbach Thank you for your input. I've played all difficulties except cataclismic (because matchamking never finds players there, it's bad if you're not in a premade group). You are very defensive about this game, don't get me wrong - I like it. This is a breakdown of my opinion tho. Story is interesting the first 5 hours (tops), and after that you just grind levels and gear. Nothing more to say there.

@ slothzilla Now i've seen your time played, I feel like your review has even less value. The fact you go with the quick and basic format, doesn't really help either. When you want to come across as creditable when writing a review on a game the mainstream player has 150 or more hours in, at least take the time and collect the decency to use a format where you can actually elaborate on your opinion.

@slothzilla there's tons of other stuff to this game than the actual story. From mastering very detailed fighting mechanics and trying out a plethora of viable weapon setups, to coming up with strategies, combining teamwork and overall knowledge of the game.

It is true however that this is more important when playing on the higher difficulties, than it is when playing on veteran/champion. Which I doubt you surpassed, considering your amount of time played. On these difficulty levels it doesn't really matter what built you're running, when you've got enough experience. I for example, wouldn't have much trouble solo clearing maps on that level, while not being much better than the average player :)

@Ulcerus I have an i9 with 2070, grpahics on ultra. I'll update the graphics section, indeed maybe I was too harsh with that. Sorry about it. But the part with the grinding still stands.

I dunno man... Game time and graphics feels off the mark. You should rename game time -> story if that's what you're aiming at.
The graphics is really good. Maybe try on a better PC?
Slothzilla 1 Nov, 2020 @ 1:56am 
@BeerBunternbach you power though the story and then just repeat the missions over and over. That's still story?
Gotrek Gurnisson 31 Oct, 2020 @ 7:12pm 
So all the time you spend on a game doing story-unrelated stuff can be considered grinding? Someone should really take away your ability to review.
