i say this in all honesty, if you made a channel with you as a moderator reacting to various posts writtne by forum memebers...some would watch. As a content creator it depends somewhat on your personality, & how informative as well as entertaining you could be. I have 2 children.....1 is basically an adult, the other a teen. Most of what I would consider "TV watching" at that age has been replaced by youtube & twitch viewing. Theres still a standard of quality as far as the content goes, or else everyone would be doing it successfully, but it IS a thing. One that continues to grow especially among the younger demographic of gamers. Weird but true In fact, I remember my Daughter talking about a funny youtube video done concerning some of the stranger or funnier miiverse posts. (Nintendos old wii u community forum- yes we owned one, lol...big nintendo fans in our household) It lacked a moderators voice over which could have likely gave it more punch. I sense a moneymaking opportunity in your future!

I imagine some would say the same about frequenting forums or the dingbats that volunteer to moderate them ? I say enjoy what you want to....moderating, sharing info on forums or watching tip videos on youtube. Id be lost without my building videos & the neat communities that have sprang from them....but yeah, nothing wrong with living like the 80's & just gaming in a bubble. At the very least youd have less spoilers. With that said theres nothing wrong with watching videos for educational things like tips & tricks to the more mundane funny things like reactions. The movie analogy is sorta off because watching a movie is less interactive than playing a game (especially the multiplayer varieties) & movie watching requires no strategy or concept of gameplay. I guess even in movies though we have huge award ceremonies & critics with programs ( like the old Siskel & Ebert) so even there some of society seems to care even if Joe & I dont, lol

Youtube, streamers Twitch etc....it IS word of mouth. Currently streaming is more popular than TV & twitch boasts 100 million monthly users & Fortnight regularly curb stomps traditional programming (much to my disgust & bewilderment). I have zero doubt that content creators have played a huge role in Arks sales being what they are. However streamers did not create the product, they simply showcased it. Again & again with more longevity than a movie & at zero cost to the parent company. Theres a reason why HOD & his channel made these guys bend knee awhile back. Culture is demonstrating to anyone willing to pay attention that social media & content creators are as import as, if not more important than (in the long run) any type of advertisement campaign

The fact that you even have a primitive plus to "bone" you is more than switch players have, lol....bet their version costs more than yours too. Again, coming from the third world country that is switch support, the entitlement via circumstance is mostchuckle worthy

You dont need to "tick them off" for them to ignore you. Look at Switch. That said, & coming from that perspective of a half year of complete silence from devs with no support or patches for paying Switch customers, this "OMG, our new free map is taking too long on PS4/Xbox due to it getting the PC Beta treatment." is pretty funny to me. So is the lack of appreciation for an event thats free & (if you find it boring or not) atleast introduces some new things to the mix. Enjoy your new outfits, emotes & dino colors provided by your event. Its more than Switch has gotten- it just gets an evoulution event like numbers tweak, no new content. Same for the mobile crowd & their broken God mode (but at least in their case they have payed for the perk they are complaining about thats not working correctly) try to enjoy your added content of dungeons etc. Enjoy the additional things you have been given, or if they bore you...try moving on for a bit. Im coming back to PS4 Ark when the Val map drops. Ive given up on the Switch version, as it has the appearance of a pure bait & switch cash grab. It is what it is. Dwelling on the negative aspects doesnt seem to acomplish anything & if you are like me, just sours your mood.

I'd settle for some stability fixes and getting rid of the established glitches. Im not embellishing here....the game crashes every 15 min due to the grass to glass glitch. Sometimes it crashes even sooner than that. New maps would be nice on Switch but I have a feeling (no proof, just assumption on my part) that the island- while being 1 of my more favorite maps- is also the most simple as far as the game being able to run it is concerned. I suspect the the Switch versions of the other maps would perform even worse. I really hope we get other maps for it, but it needs a solid foundation first. They have to "fix" the base game. I hope that day comes, at some point. Its been a long wait with complete silence from the devs. Im looking forward to adding the map to my collection on PS4. It looks like an outdoor abberation to some extent, atleast as far as the various elevations go. Looks to be a good time at first glance,

Well..........perhaps the community Crunch will drop more insight....I agree whats celebrated seems more like a wake than a birthday with much to do about the past year...including highlighting that awful Switch version thats been ignored since launch....& little hint on where they are going but its worded to suggest that yes,, there is a future E3 is also around the corner & they did hint at a promise of things to come, perhaps they are keeping their pwder dry for that. As far as events go....maybe the concept of giving it some time is in order? This game is played by many folks, some working, some not....some students & young folks (enjoying spring summer break in my neck of the woods) I appreciate an event not dropping on a Monday assuming that remains the case....as weekends are better suited for the masses to enjoy things....& yes I fully know thats not the option for some folks. I work in the health field where no government holidays or even national holidays are a day off, call is a very real thing & 16 hour days arent abnormal. If come next weekend theres nothing then, yeah...whats up with that. Id just rather an event run from weekend to weekend than start on on Monday. Ive put off countless celebrations aligning with Monday in real life as to allow easier event access to others Im just saying when a guy puts on facebook "happy birthday to me" its a little out of the ordinary to beat on his door & demand cake. If hes like a really solid dude & has the stuff on hand to whip something up he may rise beyond the occasion & whip up something....but unless you are using them to light candles put the torches down (pitchforks too)

man everything looks so great! Sarcs are my favorite though & I love regular black/white pencils. I love its name is princess too. I always name mine Elvira. Art 'color' (theres a stunning B/w Peri too) & dino prejudice aside, you folks all really impressed me. Some true artists in this community

I suspect the game would crash before the console melts down. The load would be to much & then, DC. Its not like a gas engine you are red lining or even a PC you are over clocking. Just a suspicion on my part. As far as running hot....I could fry eggs on my PS4...but thats been the case for years for me. Not 1 issue, knock on wood The 1X was pushed in part with an extended teather on Ark as a feature putting it above the stock box. Not anymore, but its not like its rare for xbox to pull features or break promises. I guess that 1X wasnt as strong as they thought & they are worried about its limits being showcased?
