Can't they just keep the minecraft blocks, and just make the models look at least half decent. How the fuck do they manage to make something that has 100x more polygons than a 5th gen console so unappealing.

Shit like this continues to be made while cubeworld remains in development hell.

Worst timeline confirmed

how is this any different to soy world?

>>14725749

Studio Wildcard are scummy faggots but this shit is made by a completely different dev OP you absolute retard

>Jurassic World is good, need at least one game with rad dinosaurs that is not shit.

I'm with you on that. Jesus fuck, Jurassic Park is this get-out-of-jail-free card for having humans and dinosaurs get mashed up. Why there isn't a horror game about being one of the unlucky chucklefucks on the island after the fences go down and trying to escape the island without the luck of running into any of the other humans we know of (alive, anyway), why that isn't a thing, i got no fucking clue, but the JW game looks somewhat promising.

>ARK seemed interesting

>keeps talking about you being a chucklefuck who needs to tame dinos and shit to explore and survive this weird nexus mashup

>never buy it because still building rig

>rig gets built

>get gifted ARK by a friend

>start it up

>laggy as shit

>adjust graphics settings

>not my rig, it's just shitly optimized

>try to play

Because Trespasser failed.

>>14729088

Damn it.

>checked

Dinosaur games on Steam are all pyramid schemes, only second to Star Citizen in terms of Jewry.

>cubetrovemineworldcraft

>>14733438

They got bought off, they keep making stupid excuses like that lawsuit to explain the constant delays of a full release.

>>14729270

This is sadly the case.

>most are just "kill dinos"

>fuck that I wanna play AS dinos

>get primal carnage

>it's fun but multiplayer only

>get Extinction because servers are going dead

>still only multiplayer

>they are trying to make a singleplayer game

<you kill the dinos, you don't play as them

>The Isle

>play as dinos

>sounds fun

<all you get to do is pick some low tier bottom feeder, hobble around for a specific plant that never fucking shows up, then die of starvation

FUCK

As long as JW:E is like JP:OG and doesn't stray too much, it'll be good

I'm sad that Richard Attenborough aka John Hammond won't be the park announcer in this game, hopefully there will be a mod that re-adds his voice

>>14728900

Agreed, also the fact that some dinos are spoiled little assholes who only tame with very specific food is annoying

To tame some dinos you need prime meat from alpha dinos or some random fish, but after tamed they'll accept regular meat

If they kill other things like humans for regular meat, whey can't they be tamed with that too

The logic in that game is retarded

Not really relevant to the discussion so a polite sage; but I'm pretty sure the reason ARK fucked up was because one of the heads of the studio got slammed by a stupid fucking noncompete that was basically guaranteed to trigger the moment he started to develop a new game.

The case was so stupid and shittily thought out that they didn't really put much funds to defend it; but plot twist: the plantiff did invest some real fucking lawyers into the case.

In the end Studio Wildcard got smacked in the face with a $600m, later reduced to $40m right in the middle of making the game, despite the fact the game was projected to make more than that at release. It was pretty fucking clear that the plantiffs didn't want the money; they just wanted to sink the guy they were after because he left them (on bad terms I assume), regardless of the impacts.

Hence why updates to balance (Gigas and super suits vs dudes with sticks that couldn't even take the Giga if they managed kill the rider) and optimisation slowed to a halt; and they had to release the DLC early to offset some of the losses so the studio could keep operating and actually get to release the game. I didn't really keep up with it; but from what it looks like the Chinese bought the debt and then the company after the second DLC announcement/release.

tl;dr middle management, inside drama and corporate boards ruin another game-but this time for a different reason

>>14725749

ARK is shit and the people behind it are even shittier. We are talking about a company that released an incredibly unoptimized, straight up garbage "survival" game with dinosaurs, base building and raiding because fuck the idea of being stranded on a deserted island and having to survive. I mean everyone knows that survival is all about being powerful. ARK was so broken on release (not that it still isn't), that it could take you up to half an hour to load a single-player game. We are talking about the same company which made update after update which consisted of such amazing new content like "wowey fucking doo, it's a new dinosaur that doesn't do anything besides littering the world and tanking the performance even further" and "Hey look it's a new item which no one will ever use". We, are talking, about the same company that released DLC for a game, WHICH WAS STILL IN EARLY ACCESS. And after people finally complained about how scummy they were, they decided to release the game in an unfinished state, just so that it would be acceptable for them to release even more DLC.

It's no fucking surprise that the niggers working on this game don't know jack shit about either programming or game design. And them cashing in on the retards who for some reason keep playing this crap, is understandable.

I'm pretty sure that the only reason why this game became so successful is due to the trailers they made, which show the game as if it was some smooth epic journey, and the graphics which make the game look better than it actually is. I find it funny how normalfags keep saying shit like "graphics isn't everything", yet they always praise games that are nothing but pretty pictures.

It will double the space it is meant to hog on your storage because wildtard can't into file management, runs like shit and scorched earth leaves you dying of thirst every 5 seconds. You'll end up at a point where you're just feeding your dinos in base and fuckall else.

>>14738936

Balance is still out of whack, gigaclans still own servers because cross-server transfer, and now they have hyper power suits that let them oneshot punch and jump a mountain, whilst also being immune to your little twigs.

Unless you play offline or on a server with less than 10 people, in which case get prepared for the most enjoyable grindfest of your life which a mod/admin can just spawn in in 10 seconds.

also the Chinese own it now, so expect nothing to change at all for 7 months until the Chinese hivemind decide that Sabertooths are OP, at which point they will get ruthlessly nerfed to the ground to nothing, with nothing to replace them

that do it for ya?
