Yeah. I never play SE, it's just not for me even though im a seasoned veteran of the game. First time I played, got killed by a sabertooth as soon as I spawned. Tried to spawn again, somewhere else this time, gets killed by raptors. I managed to spawn somewhere else without dying instantly, build a thatch house near a river, makes some clothes and tools, and then out of nowhere a T.rex spawns. Had to abandon the house and make my own somewhere else. I died of overheating.
I can't believe that there's no ascending cutscene. Makes it feel like that the player is still stuck on that ARK.
