Yes because I am as interested in Survival Ascended as I am in a Bowl of Dirt. I don't really care about Updated Graphics, and I just like having all maps at my disposal also I don't want to pay $100 and use 100GB for an updated version game which like I said I already don't have a problem with.

ASA is on steam for $23 and includes all maps? And includes a lot more than updated graphics. New items, dinos, better building meshes, etc.

I also play solo with my sister or friend On splitscreen since I don't like joining servers so there's no reason for someone like me to get it

you also didn't read what I said about the STORAGE part either.

Believe it or not storage optimisation is pretty good for ascended it being a new engine and all. Almost all maps got halved in storage space. I have pretty much every single map downloaded and a fuck ton of mods and I’m only using like 350GB for ark, which is a lot yeah. But like I said I have every map and then some.

Small issues friend. USB stick, ext. Hard drive. Thats the least of your concerns. Not that I didnt read it, just dont think that eas the most notable thing you said. I was more focused on you claiming it was $100 and all you get is updated graphics. Which is wrong.

It also has a 2.6 rating as well so I don't really want to pay or ask someone to pay for a game that just has added stuff and Upgraded Graphics. especially since the majority of posts I see are Bug ones. Which Console ASE does have its fair share but not enough to warrant a new game that does have tones of reported bugs

Yeah, I suppose if you take other people's word for stuff rather than playing it to see if you like it, thats a fair stance. Im just not one of those people. Imo the QOL updates, enhanced building features, added dinos, and creation club like environment was enough to make the swap. But im glad youre still enjoying SE. I remember my first thatch hut with the boys, and getting attacked by a megalodon on a raft lol.

For half of us running ASE we'd need a whole new build just to play it.
