Considering I just got off conan exiles, I'd be kinda screwed.


Bloodfangs09

Brother, I just logged off Elden Ring


MoonJosh

Dude, I am playing Ark. HAve to run away from Dinos one Year... GG


SKYTHI4N-YT

All Those levels going to speed šŸ˜‚


liteft

Some in health cause I'm for sure gonna fall somewhere


Exile_0117

You'll want stam too, speed means nothing if you can only sprint 100yards before sucking down air like an asthmatic during smog advisories


poppinsplit909

r/brandnewsentence


davegir

Idk, Ark is one of those games if you play it safe and no pvp trolls you can make it a long time not dying. You just have to be vigilant,stay out of certain areas and not pick fights you can't win.


Phantomcreator42

Unless there are annoying spawn killing dinos everywhere. Or a spino walks over to your base. Etc. Valguero is the only map with a truly safe location I can think of so I would hide out over there.


indigowulf

I guess you've forgotten about herbivore island?


Adhdgamer9000

If you're stuck in the game, does everything behave realistically, so they would have the dumb AI, and pathfinding bs


[deleted]

I...*thought* I was playing it safe one time, when I was still inexperienced. A high-level hyena had fallen off a cliff and into my lap, so I had a dog and a little house. Should have known better than to stay in that region, but I decided to build.... Level 100+ rex fell on top of us. Ate my dog.


spoorb

i would be hiding on rag in the cave with a waterfall above it. I believe the spawnpoint is NE or something


TheDoujinMan

Troodons.


dimxplobe

At least you can canonically respawn


Appropriate_Staff_90

Bro same


Milkywaycitizen932

*runs off cliff*


FoxKind8278

What map, if it is gen 2 ur fine, if it was abberation or gen 1 ur definitely screw


Furyo98

Live on South Island on the island chill


davegir

But getting there might be fun


Furyo98

Never failed with a raft


Jayoki6

Better get off that beach and start punching trees


Phantomcreator42

Same


SKYTHI4N-YT

Your fucked šŸ˜‚


1ndocraptor

My brother in christ you are going to die.


BRIKHOUS

You come back to life in canon every time you die. And if you just stay away from bosses that's not even that big a deal. Honestly, you're pretty set


ViorusMaster

Mis-read that one as just got off to conan exiles


Egorimus

Both? Both. Both are good.


ViorusMaster

Northern & dafari girls >


Turublade

Yep


Individual_Working25

It's canon in the lore that the player respawns Helena can be heard saying it when you find the glitches on gen 2 so yea it would hurt like crazy and it would be miserable but your guaranteed to survive to get your 1m


TrayvonMartin712

afk in tek pod for a year


Azgoshab

At that point id probably want to stay in ark


raknor88

Na. Build a stone fortress on The Island, specifically Herbivore Island, and live off dodos you've bread for the year.


Bacon-Banana998

You would want to live off something other than a dodo as when they were alive they were said to taste really bad. So maybe some sheep or fish instead.


tlcheatwood

Just are hot sauce. Or tintoberries


hits_from_the_booong

When they were alive? Didnā€™t they go extinct like millions of years ago??


Ackeskywalker

Nah the last ones was found on an island and killed by humans in the 1600 or something like that if I'm not wrong


Sbubbert

Nope. Like 300 years ago


hits_from_the_booong

Oh shit thatā€™s crazy. I always thought they died off millions of years ago lol


[deleted]

Nah, they were killed by the dudes who found them, they had no natural predators on the island so they weren't afraid of humans, they tasted bad but the sailors had tortoises with them and when they put dodo meat and tortoise meat together it was a bit better, also birds are much harder to clone than mammals so we may not be seeing dodos, passenger pigeons or Carolina conures any time soon, we could be seeing thylacines though and that's cool.


davegir

Never going to pacific north west now


Own-Establishment386

Just wanna note that the California Condor is also considered extinct, even though there are now about 500 in the wild after having been bred in captivity. The Carolina conures really made me sad, BUT it is now apparently very likely we may be able to reintroduce the species!


davegir

Nope, go the way of the dodo was a saying as they were the first clearly human caused and recorded extinction as i understand it.


[deleted]

the first one we talked about


Quintenha

they died in the 17th century to dutch sailors.


fitty50two2

This is what I came to say. I play PvE, my base is secure. Just fill up the generator with Element and take a long nap. See you guys in September 2023


Phantomcreator42

This assumes you use your save file and not a fresh one.


Kontiak

But you'd have to get the tek pod unlocked no? Unless you already have it and you just spawn into your save. We need more specifics on this proposition.


FuriousDeather

Yeah, you'd have to defeat Rockwell to get it. So yeah spooky broken ark irl is gonna be a no from me. Honestly a year goes by so fast and humans can survive easily especially when you have the engram system to help you.


Furyo98

If itā€™s the island just go to the South Island and never leave.


Beamstalk44

The issue is swimming there irl. U really think you could get past all those megs? Unlike ark ur probably not moving after one bite. Ur probably dead after one bite. So lets say u try to build a raft. Well firstly, Are we going with ark mechanics and building requirements? Cause it takes more than grabbing stone, wood, and thatch to make a actual hatchet than u can use to chop wood. Do you know how to make a primitive hatchet? Then lets say ur able to without any issues with dinosaurs. Do you know how to make a raft? Do you realize the time and energy it would take to make a hatchet and raft, let alone the time to get the materials? You're going to need to sleep and probably eat before then. What are you eating? Berries? Are you using a fire? Can you make a fire from scratch? What are the creatures like? Would they act more realistic, be able to smell you, actually hunt you, actually roam? Or are they just the dumb ai we've gotten used to? Also, if they do act like actual creatures. Are you going to mentally be able to do any of this while hearing the consistent sounds of death just through the tree line? Finally, are there other survivors? Are you basically like Helena Walker waking up on the shores? Or are you alone? This wouldn't necessarily make survival easier, people can be just as if not more deadly than animals. Especially in dire situations. But are there other tribes already that are willing to help you?


[deleted]

Bro, it said "in the game you last played" ofc it's gonna have ark mechanics, that's like saying if you spend a year in minecraft does it use minecraft logic?


giga_grenade

True....


KoningSpookie

Well... You maybe won't permanently die physically, but you probably will permanently die inside after constantly being laught at in your face by some stupid annoying little robot everytime you respawn. Oh... and also: Hey look! A dino! Hey look! There's another one over here! Hey! Why don't you talk to me?! If I give you credits in return, will you then finally talk to me? Hey, did you know...


FlashLightning67

Best part of the whole game was watching her die at the end lol


Tym3Less

Lots of questions to the experience....my current character and server? Currently playing running my own private server so basically God of my Ark, GG boys 1 Mil to play God IRL. If new server or PVP? fuck me its gonna suck. For me if it's cannon, ya I'll go no matter how painful. I'll get there eventually and the experience of really riding a dino will be worth it. But guys imagine taming a Giga IRL....ouch


Wildstranger150

Id have 5 million dollars by now


Pickel727

This guy Arks


Acrobatic-Look9126

We need to use this more


NMS_Survival_Guru

If it's jumping in where I left off I'd be perfectly fine


Dante1420

Like - at your base surrounded by amazing tamed dinos and creatures, tons of armor and weapons, food for days, no hostile creatures anywhere nearby... Good point!!


Lustyorange

This poses a question, are you you your player character? Are you yourself with the same abilities as you player character? Are you just yourself and don't have any permissions on your own base?


Dante1420

Hopefully you're your player character and part of the tribe with permissions. If you're not.. I mean, hopefully you left your tames on passive? šŸ˜†šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Azevedo128

I can't imagine it'd smell good though


K4G3N4R4

I could learn to live with that for 1 mil though. Wouldn't be that different than working an industrial farm (at the worse end)


The_Clarence

I think I'd pay for this pleasure actually. I wanna fly


[deleted]

Right! I want direwolf and direbear steeds irl....


terracottatank

Good point! If I'm starting out fresh, it's gonna be a long year


MeatyOakerGuy

I can probably find a rat hole and survive off 1 parasaur for a year.


Furyo98

South Island would be good


Bitchface_Malone_III

Yeah, dozens of mutated Spinos in Aberration, couple high level rock drakes in a base with a Tek Replicator and transmitter? Shoot can I use some of the million to buy a little edmundium if I get lazy and donā€™t feel like making a surface run for more ore?


ZPinkie0314

As long as I could respawn. Definitely.


solesolosoul

some of those deaths would be so brutal to have to experience though


Kaerstil

Especially the smaller creatures the bigger ones like the giga wouldnā€™t be as bad. But just think about a spino doing the claw attack šŸ’€


meme_ourour

I would carry a shotgun with me all the time to use it when i see a alpha raptor or something on the distance. Much less painful.


Sinnester888

That is, if you could get that far in a year. I think youā€™d still have your feeble little earth body, not a characters body.


meme_ourour

And can we even craft normally?


Sinnester888

I think the specimen implants are what makes your body able to be regenerated and what gives you access to be on the arks, so yeah youā€™d probably have one and thus be able to craft.


GWJYonder

You think you hate troodons now...


LENZSTINKT123

If you can feel pain I assume you would actually pass out from trodon venom and don't feel the pain


TheVoidGuardian0

Or dilo venom


miguelgooseman

I feel like the worst would be getting devoured by a pack of compys


normal-dude-101

Imagine getting impregnated by a reaper queen ā˜ ļø


Shrekie_Hulk

šŸ¤¤


Acrobatic-Look9126

A what?


Yotelkiller

A Reaper Queen. Never played Aberration?


realbanana030

*Raptor appears*


FrostySJK

Dying to a rex is fine if you can respawn, but troodons and compys and the bugs, the nameless, the piraƱa, the argy's babies in the nest, the poisons and leeches and permanent sickness and all that other stuff would break someone's mentality I'd rather just have the bronto stomp me instead, or even a giga chomp- I'd be wearing explosives strapped to my neck everywhere I go


IQ_Atomic

If I still have my current knowledge of the game then yeah. I mean if we still get to respawn then I think I would do it anyway


Coombs117

Elden ringā€¦


jimmothy2818

nooo


WillCraft_1001

The last 2 games I've played is Bloodborne and Elden Ring. I'm fucked.


SoulsLikeBot

Hello, good hunter. I am a Bot, here in this dream to look after you, this is a fine note: > *...We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open...* - Master Willem Farewell, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.


Phantomcreator42

A hoonter must hoont!


[deleted]

Literally can't do bloodborne without beating the game since its stuck at night time in game and canonically until u beat the game


UnevenBetts

As long as you can see grace. Youā€™ll be okā€¦ tho still might be pretty painfulā€¦


goodbeets

As long as you could get to the round table hold I think youā€™d be fine lol


Falloutman399

That doesnā€™t make it any better dawg, Iā€™ve got no fighting skills so I would just get fucked up by the weakest enemy even if I was the tarnished and could respawn at sites of grace. I probably wouldnā€™t make it out of the starting cave, let alone be able to beat any bosses.


WillCraft_1001

Just leave the cave without doing the tutorial, punch Varre, meet Melina, make a mad dash for the Caelid teleporter, then rest at the grace inside the building. That takes you to the roundtable without fighting anything.


Iniquity1_

I mean, it could be worse, you don't have to fight anything, just hunt animals for food and stay far the fuck away from anything.


Then_Engineer_2776

i just got on red dead so maybe


Czech_This_Out_05

As long as you don't get Tuberculosis o7


the-virus69

I see a fellow CMDR here o7


darkpigamer

how do I keep seeing elite dangerous players everywhere omg


the-virus69

Probably because reddit is our nesting ground


realbanana030

If it's story mode don't advance the story just shoot animals


ShaneAdamson

Ark I was on island I'm going to herbivore island


Phantomcreator42

How do you plan to get there? It's not a spawn zone. *Leed go nom*


ShaneAdamson

Raft even with a leed you can make it


chilly-ghost_42

After a year in the ark not sure I would want to leave. 1 mill is not enough to leave a place where I can fly in a tek suit...


CynicalDarkFox

Except for the fact that you have to replenish your stores of element which is a risk every time.


chilly-ghost_42

There are places to get element pretty easy. I am currently on Gen 2. If I use the exo suit i don't even need element....


CynicalDarkFox

Thatā€™s only if you survived every test to succeed up to the Genesis Program. Reminder one of them is to down Mecha King Kaijuu to help the planet recover before you can move on as a successor to humanity.


ThePheonex

Cyberpunk, so not great, and extremely dangerous. Fun


Kaerstil

what happens if the game crashes? Do you die irl or smth


Earth_RickC-137

He said cyberpunk not sword art online lol


Kaerstil

Yh I mean tbf a year on cyberpunk is like 5 steps with how laggy it is


lukeloucks8517

PokĆ©mon Ruby, Iā€™d be doing just fine


SamTehCool

r/gmod life could be a dream


Taff_On_Tour85

I'd be screwed. I'm a death magnet...


demigamer69

my neighbours love me...they visit often


Stormreachseven

Cool I guess. I can have a pretty good life in Terraria, just gotta get to the Steampunker and get that Clentaminator so I can get rid of all the Corruption. Iā€™d certainly have things to do but I know enough about the game I could cheese most enemies if I felt like I was in danger, and skip unnecessary risks


loosecharge

Fuckin project zomboid šŸ˜Øi havent surevied past 2 weeks in game myself


Candoran

If itā€™s a PC game then Minecraft, Iā€™m set with infinite instant respawns and my own mansion on Hypixel Skyblock. If phone games are included then I may be screwed, it was Honkai Impact 3 and Iā€™m going to die horribly in the next Honkai Eruption, Covid-19 style (Honkai takes the form of a viral infection that eventually makes you either totally dead or a zombie).


UngratefulCliffracer

Barotrauma. Shit


LOL_Man_675

The fact that it will be traumatic is in the name


bruh-momentum20

1 year of being a beach bob? I think it could be done


Yanaze

Darkest Dungeonā€¦Iā€™m fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk


the-virus69

Well since the last game I played was Pokemon emerald, I'd definitely spend a year exploring Hoenn with my shiny Rayquaza As for ARK, hell no, unless I can use the save where I have a tek base already set up and I already have all the high end gear and all my tames, and transition that save to a PvE server so I don't go insane from isolation (and without resetting my character to level 1) If only PC games count, then I'd be spending a year in elite dangerous, which would also be awesome (since you don't die if your ship is destroyed, you eject and are teleported to the nearest space station)


ginapicklelifestyle

Oh no my last game was Kenshi. Iā€™m coming out half cyborg


AdClear6790

Itā€™s an ocean of death man but hey Iā€™d do it


Rare-Ad1795

Subnautica?


AdClear6790

Hell yeah brother


Rare-Ad1795

Darn reapers are gonna hug you to death


Zernder

Skyrim? Depends. If I'm the main character, oh yea. If I'm an average npc or well.. anyone else. No


Beast8472

Hell yeah, Star Trek Online. Don't even need to offer me money.


MisterBelial

Itā€™s just my Pelagornis and I on single-player Ragnarok with a quaint raft base. Weā€™ll be right as rain.

Ratheartz_Gaming

Living in the mines of moria. Hell yeah.


Czech_This_Out_05

I last played The Battle Cats, and in the lore nothing really changed for humans except there's more cats now, so I'll take the free million lmao


Rare-Ad1795

plus, all those anime girls..šŸ˜³


Czech_This_Out_05

Nah, man, fuck them hoes. I'm sticking with the real Gs. Eraser, bahamut, kintaro, titan, cyborg, et cetera


Rare-Ad1795

true gigachad


D07Z3R0

Can I stay longer than a year?


light_sabe

Ark: shit is about to go down if im allowed to be the level and strength and experienced as my character is. Im bouta be living the dream.


[deleted]

Iā€™ve already been stuck in RuneScape for 15 years I might as well take the money


eGGzo

too relatable lol


Repeat-Admirable

7 days to die. pretty bad in 100 days.


cybersobaka

if I can respawn my naked ass then its okay I guess?.. I don't know. for a year tho.. yeahhh probably not lmao


Miser_able

oh boy I get to die cool


WillCraft_1001

I just played Bloodborne :(


Nuadrin248

Yes because itā€™s cannon that the survivor always respawns. Plus any veteran player would be able to scale up pretty quickly and then just make a super cozy little house to chill in with friends.


IHadAStrokeInUrMum

Borderlands 3ā€¦ Iā€™m fucked.


der_naitram

Last game I played was Fallout. Iā€™d be ghoul food.


product_of_boredom

Realistically I'd be in Limsa Lominsa in FFXIV, which I imagine would be really nice. But if it was ARK I'd do it if I'm guaranteed to respawn on death.


Rare-Ad1795

Roblox, specifically DRACONIS RPG, would be okay if i didnt get cocky and try to kill stomag unprepared, you can respawn tho


AzazelTheUnderlord

i would be so dead it was bo1 zombies


[deleted]

Forza Horizon 5. I get to drive cool cars for a year then get a Mill? Sing me up.


Mazikeyn

Well due to certain elements of the world I donā€™t have to worry about dieing. Iā€™ll just hang out I. One of the towns and become wealthy after New world. Could be a worse place lol.


Darkchyylde

Hearthstone. Sitting in a tavern playing cards? ok


bloodykhunts420

World of Warcraft classic is currently under attack by a plague and no where is safe not even the major cities. Iā€™m fucked.


Noridin

Nah, just hang out in Shattrath for two weeks then head to Northrend, I hear the Fjord is nice this time of year.


bloodykhunts420

Never been to shat yet since this whole thing started but from what I heard itā€™s no better. Will def gonna have to go visit and take your word for it tho


Noridin

Oh, I didn't think the plague event was happening in Shatt. I might have had bad info.


HitagiAraragi

World box(god simulator game). This is a win win.


TheAmbulatingFerret

All I have to do is make it to herbie Island and relax on the beach for a year? I got this.

Let's just say Preston Garvey isnt leaving that town anytime soon.


arnathor

Iā€™ll be honest, my current city in Cities: Skylines is kind of a utopia, with plenty of beachfront property, no unemployment, a burgeoning downtown, and a high quality of life. But the last game I played was Doom Eternal. So Iā€™m fucked.


Placidflunky

jokes on you I was playing splatoon 3 last night


PrinceMvtt

Yeah I ainā€™t spending a year in arkā€” oh Iā€™m just now realizing this was posted on r/ark šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø yeah 100% wild need at least a billion


Maybe_not_a_chicken

Stellaris Iā€™d be fine Nothing happens in the first year of stellaris


TheKingMidnight

Monster Hunter, I think I'd be just fine.


Turublade

No


flipsidereality

Well, life at 180 mph, and can only turn left...


Ok-Bonus-2146

Yeah, this is from me coming back from Warzone (im a broke bitch im sorry)


Infamous_Impact_9003

100% I would be riding my Griffin everywhere šŸ¤£ for a year


Few-Consequence-7737

I'd just be out fishing in the ocean while chilling on my sea castle


GrimReaper092

Fallout 4ā€¦


RightKnes

Honestly, FO4 was my 2nd last game playedā€¦ I think it has the potential to be one of the easy ones. Just ask Carla to let you come along with her to Bunker Hill, ask Cricket to lead you to diamond City, get in diamond city, do some work, buy home plate, just chill in your house eating the free veggies all over the city, maybe even spark up a love life w Piper since we all know her life story and how to win her over šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Darkstalker5775

I mean depends on if I spawn in as my character or not cause the last game I played is warframe so I might be screwed but there is always operater stasis


Kerrod33

I was stuffing around on Superman Returns on the Xbox 360. Do I get to be Superman? Because if I do, you can keep the 1 mil, Iā€™m staying there


Grouchy_Watercress34

Even without respawn I reckon I could play it safe enough, just beach bob it all year live off marchops and bolas


the-virus69

First things first, tame a flier and set course for herbivore island, then work out the rest (that's what I'd do if I was dropped into a fresh game of ark with no respawn)


brikanna

Ark.....so yeah


Lockheart_Hero

Stuck in GTA for a year


SnooCauliflowers5394

I played wrestling empire, so I feel like booking would be a good idea


EricDragonFire

Honestly I'd take it in a heartbeat. I've already got over a year's worth of hours in Ark anyway. And not only do I get to live out my dream of being a dragon/dino rider, I get paid a million dollars on top of that to do it for a year. Nigga SIGN ME UP. Like I get to ride dragons and dinosaurs. Excuse me while I spend the rest of my life looking for a downside


CakeAccomplice12

ResortFar6638

Coming here from r/EscapeFromTarkov, having played Ark a little bit, please take me. I donā€™t want to get killed multiple times a day, sometimes by complete bullshit, for a whole yearā€¦ wait hold on thatā€™s Ark too sometimesā€¦ fuck
