As I said in my first article about Ark. I will write more about this game, because it is so freakin huge, that it is breath taking. In this article I will show you my poor house, that I builded with my girlfriend and I i will give you my advanced view on this game. However, I am still at the beggining. I am aprox level 50, so I don’t know anything about late-game at all. When I get to the late game, I will write another article!

I play on split-screen with my girlfriend. I tried few PVP servers, but i guess I am not a masochist. I said that split-screen is not as good as I wanted to be in my first article and I will say it again. It is really bad, like really. We will hurt our eyes so badly, that I will become blind in few weeks, because when I want to read something, I have to come closer to the TV. And by closer I mean like 5 centimeters away from the screen. So I am using my mobile phone as a second screen where I can read things like, how much wood I need for this or what the hell is this thing for etc.. However I highly recommend you to play it with more people. Even if it were supposed to be split-screen, because gaming in general is more fun with friends and especially this game! There is more things that wants you dead, that you can even imagine and it can be really difficult to kill certain creatures alone.
Because it is an survival game, you have to gather as many resources as possible and build an awesome shellter, house or castle or anything you want. I think, that the farming is not so bad, because you can use dinosaurs as a second inventory and that helps a lot and it is not random as Minecraft. However there are few things, that cost so much, that if I would play it alone, I would never gather them. However because I don’t play alone, me and my girlfriend have build a stone house! It is not fully completed, but if you want to take a look to our privates areas, here is a video:
Other awesome thing about this game is, that you can time flying dinos. So you can fly anywhere you want to and build another base or just watch the sunset. Because the game supports a fast travel via bed, you can be there any time you want. It is a truly exceptional game, that I will play for a very long time. I wish I had the money to buy a second PS4 to play it without split-screen. That would be great!
