Top 3 reasons to avoid buying ARK: Survival Evolved early access.
Top 3 reasons to avoid buying ARK: Survival Evolved early access.
The game drops early access on Steam but comes with several issues. Keep an eye out for updates at 11.
There are 2 parts to this. While I totally agree that there aren't 3 reasons to not get it. There is only one: Early Access. And people who buy early access games should not buy it as a consumer but as a tester and someone who wants to help the development of the game. And going around in random forums telling people to not buy it is ultimately useless. You're time would be better spend giving that feedback to the developers. But that said there seems to be an awful lot of people who think that Early access games are ready to be played. And when it turns out that it's not ready they go around complaining to everyone how bad it is. So giving info to those people it good. That said I don't think they are the kind of people who would go around looking if the game is actually good or not. Even if the game is in Early Access.
Some people think this early version is a bad game, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth trying. It’s the best-selling title on Steam and caused server crashes right from the start. Maybe the optimization isn’t perfect, but that doesn’t stop it from being good. See it yourself instead of letting others judge.
I too am awaiting optimization. I have an R9 290 and once they get it running at 60fps with smooth frame delivery in high fidelity I will buy it. If that means awaiting DX12 then so be it... There are enough games to play that I don't need to subject myself to alpha testing.
