Coming off the Game of the Year Deliberations, I think we can all agree on one thing. ARK got massively overlooked and because why? Because it's a rock solid game.

Let me rip into some shit here.

1. PUBG? Best multiplayer experience? Yeah? When you drop into PUBG, have any of your friends showed up riding a Tyrannosaurus Rex? BOOM! Lawyered.

2. Mario has a T-Rex? ARK has dozens! BOOM! Lawyered.

3. Legend of Zelda has dragons?! ARK has Wyverns which I'm sure are Dragons, but I'm not sure. BOOM! Lawyered.

4. Nier has sexy robots who tells a story? Well, not much here, but I can get robot gear for my T-Rex and I can dress as a sexy lady.....so.......BOOOM! Lawyered.

5. Cuphead? ................You fight goddamn dinosaurs. Lawyered.

5. Destiny? Sure Destiny runs right and doesn't lock up and require it's own servers and guns are better.......but......I GET TO RIDE A T-REX! Lawyered.

6. Dream Daddy? If you honestly need an explanation......ok. You tame dinos and fight other dinos. It's a total test of manliness! Beefcake! BEEFY! Lawyered

7. Assassin's Creed - Well, i'm not a sissy, i attack dinos face to face. Lawyered

8. Wolfenstein - Look, I'm all about killin Nazi's. But I'd rather kill Nazi's ontop of a T-Rex. Lawyered

Look. I know we all as a Giant Bomb Team are pissed about ARK being overlooked. But we can voice our opinion right?! Damnit! ARK is a real game!

Let's get fired up and I expect nobody to support this, but I felt the need to write it.

Sure, you can voice your opinion! I'm sure there is some fun to be had, but the game looks like trash so I feel NO pull to ever try it. You were right, I can not support your enthuiasm on this one.

I mean yeah, if you want to get fucked over with DLC before the game even left early access I would agree.

In a world where Rust exists, the only reason to play Ark is to have less fun while riding a dinosaur.

Edit: Lawyered

Ark is a monumental game for me. The first and only game I was reimbursed on steam.

I heard great anecdotes but the game was a power point in terms for FPS and it wasn’t lag my ping was about 75 or so. And my hardware is more than enough even if I ran it on it’s lowest settings.

But glad you enjoyed it. There was a lot of work put into it

Didn't this game come out 5 years ago...

Every time I see ARK I'm reminded that it actually came out and then forget that fact seconds later.

Gravity Rush 2 is the only game I felt was legitimately overlooked.

2017’s most overlooked game is Saints Row 3.

I'm going to address this and it hurts me to do so.

Ark is a great game and it's fun TO ME with friends. But I need to admit something. I wrote this as sattire. I know nobody will like this game like I do. But if a dating sim can be in the game of the year, I was hoping maybe ARK would. As it's a better game.

but I'm not that loyal to this game. It's fun, but it's okay if you are mad about me suggesting it.

Just wouldn't hang, dawg.

Takes all kinds, I guess. I assumed everyone kind of moved on from ARK after all the issues it seemed to be having and the release of similar games.

If by that you mean Mass Effect 2 is the Saints Row 3 of 2017, sure.
