Tyler Lott man it’s sad looking back at your past experiences knowing you’ll never be able to relive them. I remember when Abb came out and I played on official with a couple of mates. I was a bit of a Bob so I didn’t last more than a week or two but it was one of the funnest weeks playing this game
Most ark maps are made to be ecosystems, with populations of extinct creatures coexisting and surviving. Aberration is just everything fighting everything with radiation sprinkled in the mix. I LOVE IT!
Aberration might be the reason Ark strived away from a grounded survival game. And I think it was the right decision. Ark still stands out among other Survival games. And made for one of the most intriguing stories I've ever seen in a video game. If you care enough to gather the explorer notes that is. Can't wait to experience this map. The expectations are high. Since everyone says it's the best Story map.
eh i feel extinction tipped that balance more so as abb was a amazing survival dlc instead of powerrangers pokeball sim it was arguably harder the at the time than the hardest dlc scorched earth and also didnt bring meta defining creatures that would break the entirety of the game while yes it was slightly more sci fi it was still very grounded in its design making most items involved with the map actually mean something like scorched earth giving this dlc an amazing new feeling
@@bluespidergaming7719 SE - Dune AB - Alien/Predator EX - Godzilla/Pacific Rim Gen1 and 2 - Halo Ark combined so many franchises. And while I do understand that EX shifted PVP. It was about to happen. It's another part of adaptation and evolution. This is comming from someone who never plays PVP so I have no experience
The biggest thing about Aberration that made it good, to me, was the lack of flight and the way it incorporated you not being able to fly. Despite being the smallest, Aberration *feels* much bigger than the other maps because you're so limited in how you can move. That makes it so you experience so much more of the map on the ground level, and makes the map *so* very much more dangerous.
@@Masterofhammersthat's actually intentional, in one of helena's notes on aberration she mentions that every new creature that she sees has been seen in pop culture or referenced in old ghost stories because the arks and the genesis sim were made by of course, people who created those pieces of media and stories, which just makes aberration cooler
If you liked the Explorer Notes, check out the Ark: The Complete Survival Stories videos. They show from the Island to Aberration(unfortunately, the people involved didn't have enough time to do Extinction before they took down the non-dedicated servers for Ark:SE) Trust me, you'll love it! And they only got better quality as time went by.
This really gives you the feeling of the unknown, huh? You've fought through so much as a survivor, now you have to prepare for the broken Ark, nothing will be the same after this...
This dlc came out when I first started playing ARK and it was the first one I got, it’s now my favorite dlc and game. BTW this song is like maaad nostalgia for me!!
Same here, got ark on my birthday and had enough extra cash to get a dlc so got aberration. Started the game on aberration although it’s the hardest dlc, I still loved it, made my friends get it as their first dlc as well
@@MexicanJohnMarston Its hard af and sometimes felt unfair but goddamn I was so proud when I beat it. Best world in gaming ive experienced. Made me relive my favorite novel by Jules Verne- Journey to the Center of the Earth
anytime i listen to this it almost brings a tear to my eye. such a beautiful map... no other can compare, ever. i just love it, no matter how unfair and frustrating it'll be. that's just ark itself.
Christian Santiago Not only that, the lack of fliers makes travel and exploration a ton more immersive and fun. Even though the Drake is basically a flier in a way, it’s so much cooler getting around than “just hold the forward button until I get there or need Stam”. My Drake is my favorite method of travel even on the other ARKs. Not to mention that nailed the overall feel of the map. It fits the definition of “Aberration” to a T. It’s just so foreign and mysterious even you get there and start exploring and start trying to figure out why this place is so rundown and poisonous. The soundtrack lets you know off the bat that you shouldn’t be here. I’ll use the Surface Battle theme as an example of this sense of uneasiness. Since each of the biomes (Green-Blue-Red-Surface)is vastly different and more dangerous than the last it gives you a a sense of uneasiness yet a want to keep going deeper and testing the limits of your ability to survive.The departure into sci-fi was a way of making it its own thing. It’s still a dinosaur game, but there’s so much more underneath. The Surface gives you a good rush of adrenaline and good loot, but the Reapers and Sunlight burns you and everything on you to cinders keep you on your toes and getting greedy. It also shows Rockwell’s descent into madness for the sake of knowledge. It was cool seeing a character we’ve known about so long even a physical form in game. The light mechanic made it more eerie and cool as well. Humans are naturally afraid if the dark and the Nameless and Reapers enhance that fact. Extinction was cool lore-wise, but then wasn’t as strong as Ab was. The lack of a new shoulder pet and mechanic tied to it still bugs me here and there. But yeah, I freaking LOVE Aberration and I miss it was more popular, but people like their pacifiers also called flier too much. Let’s hope that Genesis can beat or at least rival Aberration for me. Sorry for the long message and the ramble fest lol.
Agreed about the flyers. I’ve been playing single player on ragnarok and I’ve made it a challenge to not use flyers at all. the gameplay makes you stand on your toes more because you simply can’t just go over the danger. You either have to fight it or flee from it. And I love aberration. Where as the island and scorched give you sense of danger. Aberration adds the feeling of just being unwelcome to the map. I still just explore aberration even though I have 200+ hours on my single player game and have 2.5 bases. It’s just a cool map to be on.
Remember when this map first came out, playing on official, remember the friends I made, remember seeing a reaper for the first time, hatching some rock drakes, not many games can instil such nostalgia. I hope Ark 2 brings me more amazing memories.
Ugh,the story... The alien like creatures,hunting you down... The music.. The prehistoric creatures,everything. Ark has the best story by far,and nothing can change my opinion.
Aberration was when the game really took a step into the right direction, it was when we realized the game actually had a story, they added the overseer just before they launched the dlc, teasing the map by showing the broken ark in the overseer sanctuary, favourite dlc by quite a bit, second is gen2
Funny how ark was the thing that taught me that no matter how much time and effort i put into a thing, everything can always be lost in a matter of seconds, life works that way, that's why we must appreciate even the smallest moments.
The thing I love about ark is the fact that every single theme music for each dlc is a spin off of the original and will always have that one verse which sounds the same but in different ways
@@DiamondOrPoor78 Extinction has a really nice theme, definitely should've saved it for gen part 2 cuz it feels like an endgame song. Unfortunately they decided that Extinction wasn't the last map and now the whole story is dumb. Ab def has the BEST music out of ANY dlc so far
This is a deep and fantastical map filled with unique creatures and epic music, it feels like you have entered a new world physically and can experience the true beauty of ark like gliding through the ark with a drake or admiring the element falls, the music is fitting almost cosmological and is kind of giving a feeling that you are looking over an edge of a cliff where unknown secrets lie at the bottom, that’s why aberration is the best map change my mind
Jordan Riley I know but raids and fighting other people is part of the fun plus I don’t get scared but ark scares the crap out of me considering you don’t know what’s coming until it’s hit you unless it’s a giga barreling at you at 84737383838km an hour
Webby1355 9 you are very right! When I first started it was a little boring but then I started to talk to people on my server and it turned into a close community. Everyone is so friendly! And you can build out of any material you want.

What gets to me the most about AB is the story behind it. Even when you are playing on the map, it is filled to the brim with the lore. The surface with the broken obelisks, the earthquake, the portal and the spine, the aberrant creatures. But that is why Extinction is better and why the ARK lore is king in the world of lore. Darn, I already get goosebumps thinking back on what happened on AB, before us. What happened to the AB survivors on Extinction earth before we arrived there. Seriously, ARK's lore
@@Ghormley6 ark lore is so well blended between show and tell, the notes and environment give us so much information but neither alone can build the story around, especially after the island
Man ori is underrated imo. It always seems to get overshadowed by hollow knight, but I think ori is a better game. I like the music, the visuals, and the general gameplay better than hollow knight.
ark abberation is the perfect mix of beauty and danger.
U just described it perfectly
I know it's like a siren or something.
Yep sadness lots of it

Aberration is that one map that makes you feel like you shouldnt be there and that theres always a bigger threat looming in the shadows
Aberration might be the reason Ark strived away from a grounded survival game.

Love his new hairstyle
I always loved the idea of a massive cave map. This theme totally fits the environment of big dangerous caves.
Aberration has gotta be the best map I mean it has awesome tames and my god the music is incredible
Really this gives me chills every single time, the map is so mysterious and fun to explore. Aberration is and will always be the best Ark map
@@sebgaming2002 is it hard who people say? i never played but a hear a lot about this. like u spawn and die by a spino or sarco in 10 seconds lol
@@andersonbarbosa6595 It’s not the easiest map but it sure is super fun. You will die a lot by ravagers but it’s super fun when you get past the beginning and tame your first ravager.
@@sebgaming2002 when i played for the first time
me and my friend we found that "blue biome" and i was so curious and like WOWWWWWW THE MAP IS SO BEAUTIFUL and i was so happy and we explored we taming hard dinos exploring
i miss that days ...
i will finish ark 1 when my friend comes back.
1 day now..until our journey ends and we go to ARK ll where the journey continues, but we will remember the original ark in our hearts
Indeed
Indeed but not rockwell anymore
Yes my brother we will
as a pvp player i will stick to ark1
@@dombroo6073 I'm a DVD player myself
Why does aberration hit different
@Arkplayer 2711 bro absolutely the same, reapers are my favorite creature.
The theme.....is possibly a mix of heaven and hell
I love this song, from it's eerie beginning to it's brave middle-to-end. This song makes me want to conquer the universe, and make it my home.
I 100% agree!
Ark is one of my favorites and always will
I'm usually too busy dying to hear this but thanks anyway
My friend bought the base game for me and I was hooked. This was the first DLC I got and by god do I love it. So beautiful, so sad, so hopeful.
Go back and play scorched earth...or at least get a quick oblisk kill, with Extiction gear, you'll do fine...mostly
@@Bloodarcher43 Scorched Earth is garbage
@@WavyOskar I find it better than the center.
Nostalgia man, brings me back to the good old days
This came out right as I started playing Ark so when ever I hear the theme its very nostalgic
What gets to me the most about AB is the story behind it. Even when you are playing on the map, it is filled to the brim with the lore. The surface with the broken obelisks, the earthquake, the portal and the spine, the aberrant creatures. But that is why Extinction is better and why the ARK lore is king in the world of lore. Darn, I already get goosebumps thinking back on what happened on AB, before us. What happened to the AB survivors on Extinction earth before we arrived there. Seriously, ARK's lore
Ark lore goes so hard idk about king destiny lore is pretty complex and personally my favorite but ark lore is sick too
@@Ghormley6 I agree that the destiny Lore is complex lol
@@Ghormley6 ark lore is so well blended between show and tell, the notes and environment give us so much information but neither alone can build the story around, especially after the island
@@thundabolt7867 The fact that the lore explains why we are able to respawn in itself is awesome.
Its beautiful. Ive been staring at this for 5 hours now.
I challenge you to listen to this song to 10 hours straight
Community favorite one. I want it in ARK Ascended main menu so bad
Yes plz I love sitting with the opening screen at night deep in my thoughts or hearing it from another room
indeed wild card get on it put this song back on asa main menu give us the feature from ase where the mapo determines your main menu music
Played on launch. Fell in love, the lack of flyers really made the map shine. Recently started playing the map again after years.
My most number 1 favourite theme song of ark 🙌
Dear aberration, I’ve had some good times but I must say goodbye.
why??
@@Helena-me6mp managarmas will find you anywhere and destroy you before you can build strong defences.
@@reilly2828 i made a rule for abberation: No Gasbags No Bloodstalker No Managarmrs nothing that can fly exept Rock drakes.
Why
@@Helena-me6mp How u gonna stop that on an official pvp server? Just asking
Between this and Ori, Gareth Coker is really making a name for himself
Man ori is underrated imo. It always seems to get overshadowed by hollow knight, but I think ori is a better game. I like the music, the visuals, and the general gameplay better than hollow knight.
abberation and normal ark theme songs are the best ones no cap
Extinction ranks second after abberation In my list
Gen 2 and aberration will always have the best themes in my eyes because god damn its hard to get better than this
@@kommanderkodi4552 you right
Threads of chills through the body this theme is the best out of all of them
This always felt so nostalgic
