ARK: Survival Evolved vs RUST

[Cat Jerky]

Okay, yes. I know, I know. I'll get a crap ton of hate for making this thread, but this is really a "What game should I buy?" discussion. Please don't be biased, both of these games look really good, but I'm having a tough time deciding on what game to buy.
I'll even make a Strawpoll, but feel free to comment below, telling which game is better, and why exactly.

Wait a few days. I suspect Ark (and possibly rust) will be going on sale because Conan Exiles is coming out.

Thus you can ask then "Should I buy Ark Rust or Conan"

At which point you should just pray to Crom for an accurate answer.

Well first things first. What are your specs?

Conan Exiles looks more like Elder Scrolls :/

Then I would wait until you build that pc. Don't buy ARK with that, (or you could, and then refund it with less than two hours played) I can't see you hitting above 15 fps on low. Not me being insulting by the way, just ARK is heavily unoptimised.
i don't reccomend Rust either, for that laptop. With both games you should have 8GB of RAM, 16 makes for smoother play but 8 is what I wcall the minmum. I had a laptop not long ago with similar specs but double the ram and it barely hit 20 fps on rust, low settings.

Still like I mentioned, if youreally want to test it yourself you can buy them, play them, refund them. Just make sure you put in for a refund with less than two hours played.

Comparing games in EA for years to a game in EA day 1. Apples and Chicken.

OP, if you like playing solo at all, get Ark. You at least have modded server options that protect you in PvP somewhat. In RUST you will be wiped by gangs of players within 30 mins non stop by players far superior to you in weaponry.

Only get RUST if you have a similar gang of players you are bringing with you.

Check his specs first. Also, Rust has just as many mods for servers, if not, more.

Well, it seems like if you tamper with the config with these games, I guess you could make it playable on a potato <_>

That wasn't the question, the question was Ark vs RUST and that's what I'm answering

Check your reading comprehension first.

Aye lad with Rust maybe, but ARK on max settings already has issues with rendering distance. Like I said, you can take advantage of the refund policy if it doesn't run well enough for you. For comparison, (don't take this as an insult)check this link comparing your card to mine, it handles ARK well but only just.

Ark has more gameplay value than rust too be honest.

only ark :D

From my experience, Rust is PVP, and nothing but PVP.
You build a little base and fight others.

In Ark there is just way more to do because of the Tames you can have. Sure there's also PVP (on open servers) but if you got your own server or PVE you still can put a lot of time into it.

So depends what you wanna do basically? Build the same little house over and over again because you get raided in Rust, or sit there for hours and hours waiting for your dino to get tamed in Ark lol.
