Singleplayer?

[Jadedragon]

The only dinosaur survival game i have played yet is "the isle" and oh boy does it suck to be new in that game. You take your time growing with almost nothing going on only to be snatched away by another player who has max growth and is faster than you. GG start again, nice. The atmosphere and map are great but most of the time your just waiting and hoping to finde AI prey.

Is this games singleplayer mode just a story or is it a survival mode with actuall live in it? Like dynamic AI Saurs and Humans?

This game is more of a survival game with AI dinosaurs but no humans. This humans is other players if you play online. This game is meant to be for multiplayer but has a ton of setting to change to your liking so if like to grind you can but you you do not like to grind you can change that too.

I have played only a tiny bit Online-PvP and lots of ours Singleplayer or Private-PvE Server... and its fun.
I'm sure there will be PvE Server in the future, where you can play Online and still be save from PvP ;)

But Singleplayer is also fun, specially to learn the basics of the Game (which will not be THAT helpful in PvP... but if you want to dive into PvP you should start with guides and pvp content on YT).

I enjoy Ark SP a lot, find a nice play, build a base, tame fun Dino's and enjoy the feeling. Tweek the settings to your liking (I do EXP values real high, as I hate to mindlessly grind highlvl for saddles etc.) and you can adjust these at any point later as well. Specially when you get into Breeding or something like that you might want to adjust, else it is pain to raise a Rex-Baby for around 90h (realtime) to fully grown...

On Ark Survival Evolved you can play as a dinosaur as a mod. It is on the Steam workshop. That could get ported over but you would have to ask the mod author about that.

You play as a human; however you can tame a wide variety of dinosaurs & other prehistoric creatures, and ride them around. Most of the progress in the game is built around taming the right creatures for specific tasks, and then later breeding said creatures. If you do get this game, most of your time will be spent riding around on your dinosaurs.
