“addictive gameplay that consumed reviewer's life despite negative consequences”
Este juego deberia de estar prohibido por lo adictivo q es, me ha jodido la vida, mis padres me han hechado de casa porque solo jugaba al juego envez de trabajar y encima me iba mal, muy mal optimizado y dlc's muy caros, ojala lo borren por el bien de la humanidad.

[quote] [h1] [url= Если вам нравятся аниме или хентай-игры, то подписывайтесь на куратора: Lord Azazel Group [/url] [/h1] [/quote] ARK: Survival Evolved - это огромный выживач в открытом мире, где нас выбрасывают практически голыми на загадочный остров, населённый динозаврами и другими доисторическими существами. Нам предстоит собирать ресурсы, строить базу, создавать оружие и броню, охотиться, исследовать огромный мир и, самое главное, приручать динозавров. Очень жаль, что их нельзя использовать в личных целях, как, например, в игре "Русы не против ящеров". Приручать тут можно не только траво
