  1. I liked Bob overall. It was a fun nod to the noob stage of ark. But they chose to make him a misogynistic guy from 1940s on purpose. He started "mansplaining" the island to Helena and expressed she would die without him. He then gets shot in the face when he's about to decry her for being a woman professor. This dialogue is not by accident. The writers clearly wanted the audience to cheer the death of the misogynistic male character. Every male in the 1st episode (Bob, Dominus, Rockwell) is either a jerk or a ruthless killer. Every female is a hero that is pushed further in the 2nd episode with the addition of Mei Yin and Helena's mom. Tomb Raider is one of my favorite games ever. Furiosa from Mad Max is one of the coolest most BA movie characters ever. My character in ASA is female. I enjoy well done hero female leads as much as the next guy. The problem is when there is no balance and one sex is entirely depicted as good while the other is bad. So far this series has the nuance of a sledgehammer when it comes to building the characters personalities and showing duality or the conflicted nature of people. Maybe thats a lot to ask for in the first episode or 2 but I could have a lot more patience if the show wasnt so blatantly spamming FEMALES ARE STRONG THEY DONT NEED MEN SEE SEE GUYS.
  2. "WHITE AUSTRALIA HAS A BLACK HISTORY" The protest scene in the 2nd episode was cringe af. The first 2 episodes establish 2 things, Man bad woman gud and White bad, black gud. Add ark to the list of franchises that pander to the woke ideology.
  3. Agreed. Any complaining at all about woke is too much, because that divisive nonsense shouldnt even exist in something like a flippin ark cartoon. One thing I did like is how brutal Rockwell is portrayed. Feeding the kid to the Trex was awesome, one of the best scenes. Didn't think they would actually go through with it, but they did and it delivered. Rockwell is 1000% the best character on the show so far.
  4. Dont take my word as Gospel. Its just my opinion after all. However it does seem like the show has fallen into the all too popular trend today of use a beloved IP to cram some woke crap down our throats (halo,LOTR, etc) Maybe I'll give the other episodes a try (there were 6 in total) because it was fun to see dinos, armor, and weapons from the game.
  5. Watched the first 2 episodes. Kinda meh. The scenes of Helena's backstory in modern times were all either cringe or boring. It's clearly a vehicle for woke feminism. Women are strong. Women can do everything a man can do blah blah blah. One such scene has her at a protest where someone's holding up a sign that reads "WHITE AUSTRALIA HAS A BLACK HISTORY." So I guess throw in the anti-white agenda as well. Shame. The scenes where they are on the ark were enjoyable (except the broodmother, what the hell even happened?), but I doubt I'm gonna watch the rest of it. If the first 2 episodes work this hard at establishing a "men bad, men cause problem" feel to the show, I'm sure it'll only increase the further the show runs. No thanks.
  6. Cool. I'll check it out. But since this self contained thread has popped up, dont waste tomorrows entire crunch on the animated series as well. We need SE news.
  7. For me personally, a lot is riding on SE. The frontier pack possibly being p2w and just the overall condition that the SE map launches in is make or break. I've barely logged in this past week or 2. The interest is just not there anymore. I think by aberration modders are basically going to have to take charge of development and carry the load for this game to maintain a healthy population. WC is clearly not equipped to deliver a good product on time (have they ever been really?) and Ark has such a backlog of content it'll take years to realize it all, which of course means less profit now for papa snail.
  8. It's not crazy at all, because thats exactly how the launch of ASA went until WC finally released a close up of a raptor's face like 2 weeks before the game came out.
  9. I can sympathize with losing your stuff, but thats the way it goes with rat holes. Here today, gone tomorrow. If it was ASE you could get a Fjordhawk and ferry the stuff out but the way ASA map drops are going, you'll be refreshing that bed til 2029 waiting for Fjordur.
  10. Wow what a question. Thats so far down the line who would even think of such crazy things. I might as well ask Elon what daily life will be like on Mars when he colonizes it. Will WC even still be a studio by then ? Will Shi finally get 25 to life for the bait and switch that is ASA ? Will water still be wet in the year 3769 ?
  11. I've noticed there are some pretty gentle slopes that look like you should be able to get up them and cant, but some of the mine-able rocks have nearly vertical surfaces that your character just sprints right up no problem. It definitely seems inconsistent.
  12. No wonder they put mods in the game, they'd have literally nothing to show otherwise. Good job showing off everyone else's work while you guys stack delays to the ceiling, riding on 20 inch delays.
  13. It's a god send in Rust. Really sucks games like Ark and Dayz haven't adopted it. I used to bring up the global chat type window while flying forward and it would lock you flying forward on ASE, but sadly Asa doesnt function the same way.
