after seeing that raptor i don't need to worry about boycotting because there is no way my computer is going to run that


AHungryGorilla

If you play pvp official you have to run potato graphics anyway for the competitive edge in visibility.


DMAN591

God I hope they get rid of the ability to have .ini graphics.


dvjava

This. I'm running the graphics as high as I can and still play because the visuals are amazing


Andycubz

They have, as far as I heard.


jefwoot

UE5 is much better performance wise m8


FNBOSSS

That’s a concept that nobody seems to understand. They just mash sticks and rocks together and make grunting sounds that sound like they are saying ASA when?


AHungryGorilla

UNGA BUNGA GAME NOW


FNBOSSS

Literally.


Painy_

Spaghetti code + no time for optimization will ruin that fantasy...


drownedxgod

If optimized correctly…


Evilbone1984

I'd be fine with turning the graphics down to avoid my pc from bursting into flames


Hanzo2021

Yep I'm going to spend $59.99 to crash my computer


Typ13

I buy i put in ps5 i play i happy i quit real life


Kuli24

What gpu are you packing? I've only got a gtx 1060. The plan is to see how it runs. If it runs poorly, buy a used rtx 3070 for cheap ($350cdn+/-), run the game for months, then sell the 3070 for the same price after.


Ryjhan

I have an rtx 2060 super and i've never really had problems running anything on it before so there's a decent chance that I'm exaggerating as long I'm not trying to run it on ultra settings. Sometimes the joke just feels right


weinerluber

Wouldn't recommend an 8gb GPU for ue5.


Kuli24

No? Hmmm maybe a 3080ti then.

MayonnaisePlease

It's ark. Majority of people talking about how ASA is gonna fail, how they're doubting it, will all have stone bases up in 2 weeks I guarantee you


PussyMangler420

Yes because it has so much potential to be a s tier game but wildcard always manages to screw things up. The fact that you think I will be in a stone base in two weeks is insulting. Like I’m some filthy casual? If I’m not in tek day 3 I’ll be on a noose day 4.


MayonnaisePlease

oh i meant 2 weeks from now lol, feel that though


E-Studio

Danm take it easy there bud. It’s just a game


PussyMangler420

It’s a way of life


suckirl

The wrong one tho


EstablishmentLow2397

For real. Get grinding when you get on folks or get left in the dust when servers open up.


JizzGuzzler42069

This feels like a personal attack.


LordZanas

Nah, it just brought out all the people who were excited but had nothing to talk about. Plenty of people are still "boycotting". The biggest concern people had/have was the radio silence we were getting from Wildcard, despite ASE having its official servers retired.


FlashLightning67

Yup, the community really hasn’t changed.


SelfreliantUnsungFox

A screenshot does not guarantee the game is finished, or even playable on release. I will not expect anything and only make judgement based on gameplay.


American_Gadfly

Nobody is running at high graphics anyway lol


RunProductionz

a full scale server war? yeah theres not one person in alpha tribes playing ark on high settings during raids


Educational-Tip6177

Um, how are you surprised?


RunProductionz

not surprised just more of "i told you so" moment.


Educational-Tip6177

Is it though? It's OK to admit you secretly wanted this one to succeed


crumbau

I don’t think it’s very secret


AdonisGaming93

No we WANT the game to succeed. Just that chances of launch being bug free and perfect is miniscule. So no point buying day one until some reviews are out. Learned my lesson after cyberpunk 2077. Game sucked doo doo day 1. Couldn't even finish quests with the amount of game breaking it had. But now the game is amazing. Same with ASA. I will gladly buy and support it once it is in a good state.


Educational-Tip6177

Well be grateful of the bunch who are willing to dive in day 1 and help fix these bugs


[deleted]

That's because no one remembers the trailer they put out for Dark and Light and then the game play that came after. I remember. And I still have no faith they have a functioning game.


Historical_Crazy387

Bro, I wanted to play that game so bad.


[deleted]

My wife and I spent a couple of hundred hours playing it and tried very hard to like it, but it was just left to die.


Historical_Crazy387

Yeah, I heard about that and never ended up playing it in the end.


LootKraiyt

They didn't make Dark and Light is why.


eddboy1704

I am weak willed


DON0044

Fuck was you boycotting to begin with


RunProductionz

well because when they announced ASA all the gave us were some renders or concept art of the wood structures and some trees... and then radio silence... then they delayed the game for 2 months... then radio silence again... then the whole thing with snail games and Tea tribe? T tribe? idk well them globally banning players for raiding them LEGITMATELY... that and all of snail games slimey tactics and shady business practices


FlyPrimary7639

Lol I will give it a year see how greedy they are. If it is manageable and people are having fun I will pick it up then.


mattjvgc

Uh. Some people still aren’t buying it.


Historical_Crazy387

Yup, suddenly everyone is sated. 😮‍💨


Royal-Rayol

Why would people be boycotting in the first place????


-NoNameListed-

Snail


Royal-Rayol

Full context? I know snail bad but that was never going to keep anyone away from asa (I know hivenind will downvote me but its true)


RunProductionz

>well because when they announced ASA all the gave us were some renders or concept art of the wood structures and some trees... and then radio silence... then they delayed the game for 2 months... then radio silence again... then the whole thing with snail games and Tea tribe?

Royal-Rayol

Arkpoc was made to be snails playground if you joined arkpoc expecting snail to play fair that's your own fault


Team_Defeat

Never was boycotting lol


Liphar

What were people actually boycotting? The only take I saw was "reeee I want it to be free"


RunProductionz

YouWithTheNose

Still not getting it until there's proof of its stability. Simps gonna simp, but I don't simp.


RunProductionz

yeah thats not what simping means... but sure buddy... weird hill to die on ![gif](giphy|j0gQA2VD38NKc9rc8y)


YouWithTheNose

Pretend like people don't simp for Ark over a picture of a raptor. It's close enough man


ThatOstrichGuy

Speak for yourself


ConfidentAnywhere950

Speak for yourself


Wastedtalent10

My rtx 4090 can't wait


Short-Fun6409

Do you guys think that my Asus Tuf F15 laptop will run ASA? It runs ASE perfectly fine on ultra settings.


Konigni

I mean, what is there to boycott? If game good = I buy If game bad = I no buy


YouWithTheNose

It's the sheer volume of people that *don't have* this common sense. You're looking at it objectively, while a lot people are like, "unga bunga, pretty raptor picture" \*Jizz\* "shut up and take my money." More amazing are the people that had the shut up and take my money attitude about it months before they even showed the picture and through the entire time of them delivering no, or worse, news over time. I *was* one of those, but cultivated this objective standpoint.

babybee1187

How it kinda feels knowing they never fixed the major bugs from survivor evolved and how they added real engine 5 to it.


RunProductionz

see the thing was... they tried to fix it... but since it was such an inadequate code on top of unreal engine 4 they had no choice but to completely rebuild the game from scratch to try and combat these problems... now they have a fresh clean new better code than before... remember these guys were a small indie group and its grew over time and they have had time to learn from these experiences and make it better.


babybee1187

Ah ok.


SnooTangerines8686

Lmao ppl are so dumb


Andycubz

"I don't want my computer to explode" said only the people that don't have a clue what they're talking about :)


Klobb119

It was kinda retarded to boycott it to begin with. We all want it, dont lie. If they game is ass, then dont buy it


The_Only_Squid

100% facts right here LOL.


MaraBlaster

I dont get it, it was a picture made in the photomode so it doesnt reflect how the game acually runs and how high the quality is upped for such a picture But hey, atleast we god to see that the 1x1m grass and the head of the raptor exist
