You'd have a point, if the comparison wasn't between a decade plus old game and one that released in the last week, as early access. ARK is genuinely one of the single worst experiences to try and get into, and has multi year long bugs that haven't been touched.

I haven't bought Palworld, but you can actually launch the game, and join your friends in a few minutes tops. I have attempted to play with friends on ARK. Repeatedly. I have yet to actually do so, even after self hosting my own server on a couple occasions. IMO, this makes ARK as a title and game to play, completely worthless.

Um dawg I couldn’t even get into a game with a friend when we tried the other day because of the 'OnCreateSessionComplete Delegate bWasSuccessful == False' errors. I’m sure it’ll be fixed in time.

All im saying is to temper expectations and don’t go into this game expecting a masterpiece. It’s a janky meme game from the two hours ive put into it.

Very true, I had heard that one popping up but for the live streams I saw it seemed to go away with time or at random.

Fair enough to temper expectations, it is after all an early access title. They still seem to be handling things better than the ARK devs is all I was getting at. I literally have not been able to play it once, since purchase, outside of joining random public servers and having a uh... "Rust" ^(cough turboracism cough) type of experience if that makes sense.
