ARK: Survival Evolved

How is this game really? I watched the trailer and some gameplay videos but that only tells you so much.
I know,
But I'm still interested in it. It doesn't seem like vaporware shit made in Unity or with voxels or whatever and I've been itching for something like this.

Heres how this going to go:
If you say no to any of these things avoid the game like the plague, if you still go for it and want multiplayer either find a decent community with modded servers or don't.
STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM PUBBIES AND RANKED/OFFICIAL SERVERS IF YOU DON'T WANT CANCER AND CHINKS

You may go now
devs are also ok and anti SJW despite some kikery here and there

ARK is a terrible game, but what kind of subhuman would actually be against modding a game if they could bring it up to their standards with minimal effort?

I saw there was PvP servers which I'm assuming is pure faggotry.
Should I just pirate and play solo?

Yes, but like I said, mod it so its less grindy, fucking thing is chore.
I don't think you can do it in singleplayer but I'm pretty sure you can modify the values if you host a server and set it so no one can get in.
Play a little of vanilla if you want a feel of the grind and to get an idea on what to change before modifying the values

Also get ready for a 100GB file if you don't get a compressed Repack

583 hours in ARK. It's not good. I've given up all hope on it. 2 year old bugs still there. DLC during early access. Season passes and no bugfixes.

This is why you mod the game

99% of the time Early access survival isn't worth the money.
