Bows, Arrows, and Zero Survival Instinct (in a survival game): Spinosaur EditionĪrk Survival is filled with varying biomes with varying dinosaurs, creatures, resources, and difficulty of survival. Let’s start with one of our earliest adventures and go from there. So many, in fact, that it will take me several newsletters just to detail what’s happened over the last couple of days. It’s a different goal from a lot of the other times we’ve played the game where our only objective was just to build a cool base and tame some dinosaurs.īeating the bosses is the long-term goal, but in the meantime? Shenanigans. We’ve never beaten the bosses at all, in fact (besides some servers we’ve been on where the bosses persist in the world and we’ve beaten them up with wyverns, breathing fire on them, handily from out of reach) so this will be a new adventure for us. That way I can show you just how insane they can get!Īlex and I are playing with a couple of our friends with the ultimate goal of, for the first time since playing the game for the first time all those years ago, beating all of the game’s bosses on all of the difficulties. Unfortunately I don’t have any screenshots, but I will build one somewhere throughout my adventures and show you because that’s always fun. They are very big bois, so big, in fact, that you can build a house on their back if you really wanted to. Quetzalcoatlus are my favourite out of the birds. Unfortunately they’re not the most useful outside of that and for being mildly tanky, which is pretty disappointing, but thankfully there are lots of other cool dinosaurs such as the BIRDS! My favourite dinosaur is the stegosaurus (they just look so cool) and of course they’re fun to ride around on in Ark, too! Their spiky tails go swoosh swoosh and gather lots of berries and other important resources. I haven’t played all of the expansions and new maps and such, some of which implement some high-tech equipment and structures to play around with such as teleportation and cryopods. Even in the last year or two since it’s been more or less finished. I used to play the game way too much during the steam early access (so when the game was hardly anywhere close to done, but they were basically allowing people to play and break the game while they were developing it) and boy has the game changed a lot since then. Basically, you’re thrown on this deserted island and told to survive the masses of bitey things with not even a “good luck!” fading behind you as you descend into madness… Think Jurrassic Park, but if you get eaten by a T-Rex, you just respawn without your clothes somewhere else on the island. If you’re unfamiliar with Ark, it’s a survival game with dinosaurs. This will be the first of many blog posts recounting my adventures through Ark on what I expect to be my last complete playthrough of the game. It’s been a while since I’ve last played Ark, I don’t think I’ve touched it since 2020? 2019? The years are really starting to blend together these days.Īnyway, whenever I play Ark, it always becomes a HUGE time sink…. Earlier around New Year’s leading into 2022, Alex and I started up a private server with the goal of finally actually playing through the game’s mini storyline, beating all the world bosses, over all of the maps and expansions, and putting the game to rest for good since there is supposed to be an Ark 2 coming out. One of those guilty pleasures is Ark: Survival. I’m not such a big gamer anymore, but I do have a handful of guilty pleasures that I partake in from time to time. I’m one of those rare people with eclectic taste whose interests vary from day to day, week to week, and I’ll play, read, or do anything that catches my fancy at the time. Long story short, that led to a long-lived love through games such as Final Fantasy, League of Legends, Guild Wars, Bloodborne, Borderlands, and various other RPGS, JRPGs, MOBAs, shooters, tactical games, and so on. One of the first games I played hardcore was Chrono Trigger, but the first online game I played was Ragnarok Online, a Korean pseudo MMO that I played with my cousin for a while before branching out on my own. When I was younger, I was an obsessive gamer.
