Welcome Back Survivors! I am a huge Ark fan, playing for over 15,031 hours on Ark Survival Evolved and Ark Survival Ascended since June 2015. I have been MIA from gaming rocking my classes @scottsdalecc, and I am writing this blog for my #CIS103SCC class, letting everyone know how this great grandma rocks the online gaming platforms!
What game did you play?

What game genre does your game fall into?
Ark is considered an action-adventure game and falls into the sub-genre of survival games.
Research this game online and describe its community of players.
Unfortunately, this is a loaded question, and the opinions are mixed. They run the spectrum from hostile (why they play the game other to be bullies) to those who love this style of gaming and love adventure. These types of games are frustrating and can affect how people interact with each other. Check out the reviews on steam.
Who plays this type of game?
I believe Ark players love the open world with lots to explore, and conquering the alien world by completely tasks from farming, taming dinosaurs, and fighting the end bosses The unexpected is a big draw to people who play survival games.
Where did you play the game (mobile or computer or game platform
I played the game on PC; however, soon, a map will be released on mobile, Ark between classes, yes!
How many times have you played?
I totally took advantage of this week, playing every day, for a total of twelve hours this week.
Describe what you did/did not like about the game.
I liked:
The new map, which was a paid-to-win map, requires a sixteen-dollar investment to access, and was a easy transition to a new world (aka I didn't die as much in the beginning before being somewhat established).
What I didn’t like:
Sadly, it was the same attitudes and arguments permeated the map instantly. I muted Global Chat, it was distracting
Of course, I will be playing again. I am addicted to raising baby dinosaurs.
Are you a regular player?
I am
a regular
player. I am a survivor until the world goes dark. There is so much more to discover
What social media aspects are woven into the game you played?
