I forgot how different it was. Even the UI was miles apart from now. Something I'll never forget, when Gigas first came out, their torpor was nearly irrelevant to whether or not they stayed asleep. So me and my army of direwolves got insta killed when a half torped sleeping giga decided it wasnt tired anymore and woke itself up. I was devestated. I still have steam screenshot of the moment before it happened.
I remember being scared of swamps (well, swamp area, was before actual swamps were in game too) when they first added in the spino xD little did I know.... spino got nothing on kapras =_=
I still remember my first encounter with a Giga... it had just been released, and as I was an immersive player who didn't read patch notes or watch dino reveal trailers, I was completely caught off guard. I was walking up the mountain with my packmule turtle to get some metal, and I saw it's butt sticking out of a rock. I stood there a while trying to think what it was, and I landed on "must be a stuck rex", as it hadn't moved an inch . Sooo i busted out my handy little slingshot and let a stone loose on the stuck butt.... which... was not actually stuck. RIP Shelly the turtle 2016.

I was a freshman in high school when this game came out and I spent my entire summer playing it. Back when it was in game preview it was the coolest thing ever because nobody knew what they were doing. We were a bunch of beach bobs running around attacking each other, like even before breeding and gigas
I used to love it since everyone was so easy to kill and raid. We wouldn’t even live in caves just built on carno island and killed any one swimming over
Same here I think I was in 10th grade it was utterly amazing. Had 15 friends playing this game at one point on a winter break in 2017. We had merged tribes with random people from all over US prob like 25-30 people. United an entire server (522) together against the nonstop cross server trolls but we were eventually betrayed 2 months in. Unforgettable memories so many of my friends and I still randomly reminisce about the old ark days. Was a game and experience like no other.
Old spino: Bad health, damage, mobility, and too hard to tame New spino, better health, absurd damage, fantastic mobility, and easy to tame If this wasn't the greatest ark glow up I don't know what is

daamn man, your dad is a real one❤️, i used to play it a lot with my brother back in the day even though I would grief his tames cuz i was a bot 😂😂. I love your comment and I hope you still have a wonderful father-son bond with him ❤️
I loved ARK when it was a game about taming dinosaurs and surviving, I still love it but 28 minutes of nostalgia is something I can't refuse. Good job man!
It's been nice watching an old version of Ark. I first bought the game on Steam September 1st 2015 (version 206.0) and a while after joining the biggest tribe in Server 8; the snow biome came and broke half of the base! This video reminded me of how the original Center map had some more (since removed) tiny islands and other changes at the map border. When version 207 came out bringing rafts, we found ways to protect the raft from dino damage and explosives... build your raft's structures deep down into the ocean to tame things and all manner of craziness which is mostly fixed in the sequel. Co-ordinates 12, 41 in those green plains was our tribes wonderful open base spot before it got iced over; I lived right on 60.7, 25.7 where the swamp, beavers and redwood soon came next door. I remember farming the skylord cave to get scraps of chitin before beavers came out and all sorts of other things we did. The old water pipes, kibble and narcotic grind are less pleasant to remember; when two young kids joined the tribe after the snow catastrophe, I let them borrow the carno kibble to tame a low level wolf and it got eaten minutes later. Over time it was fun seeing how each player loved their own specific tames rather than just being managarmr or wyverns - our tribe leader loved spinos and bears, others liked argents, frogs and so on; one tamed dozens of monkeys and penguins and we'd have raft battles or fight in a colosseum with them.
Also the original rates and things before our leader ever mentioned the existance of tools like using a "taming calculator" such as Crumplecorn or Dododex; things have really come far since back then.
Am a bit (a lot) late but when I got the game on PS4 (when it released on it actually) I didn t have internet, therefore I played the version on the disc for a surprising amount of time I remember that for my entire play through tho I only used the tapejara to move around ! Something unimaginable today,and the bit about people mass taming some specific dino is so true ! You can even see that it was common practise in some of the early dino releases, they were made/advertised to be used in masse swarm ! Nothing like it anymore
This time was so peak. ARK used to be genuinely one of the hardest survival games of all time, you was basically FORCED to tame every dino in a very specific order because of the low rates and the different kibble system. I wish they had a sort of ‘legacy mode’ with the old UI, supply drops, lighting, rates and kibble system in ARK ascended
@@baronwuztaken btw imo the best progression route at this time was parasaur->low level argy->high level procoptodon->greenhouse->kibble Procoptodons only needed rare mushrooms and didn’t take TOO long to tame (but you needed tons of narcoberries which is what the parasaur is for) and with their op weight and speed you can easily get hundreds of crystal per run for a greenhouse to grow crops and get the kibble system running
Basicaly the old ark mobile workd the same way, but they decided to delate it. I always wanted to play the "full and easy pc game", but in some way, I am really glad I have the old mobile ark. Because the new one is the same as PC ark, eccept no mods and DLCs are behind a paywall. The old mobile ark was a really big fun until I got over level 80 when it become endless grind.
I would say get the old ark mobile for this exact same system but it’s sadly been removed from the App Store and the only way to have the game is to already own it
the very first week ark came out , i wrote in the general chat if people have seen the Laser raptor in the northern part of the island. damn the chat went crazy.
What a nostalgia trip. The pre TLC creatures, the old kibble system, the old engram system, it takes me back lol. I’m pretty sure bolas were first added in Scorched’s first release. Also 21:10 has gotta be my favorite part 😂
I remember playing this before they introduced the giga. And before the official servers were complete garbage. There was this one guy on the server who managed to solo tame every single creature. When the giga finally dropped, he refused to tame it because he thought it was too much for him
my favorite time playing ark my group of friends were know for joining a server and going after the alpha tribes, helping beach bobs and moving to the next server to do it again such great times thank you for making this video, needed the nostalgia this brought
14:16 taming quetz in solo was actually possible just really hard. All you had to do was grab a scorpion with your argy and whistle attack. eventtually quetz would be knocked out
YOOO wait thats actually genius, now that you mention it I do believe seeing such a taming method back in the day.. damn man.. thank you SO much for this comment ❤️❤️💪
the reason the tame took forever is because wild card have increased the the rates over the years what is our current 1x base now or days was x4 back then
I remember I once spent five hours on a stego. Five fuckin hours… on a level 50 stego. 😂 Official PVP too. Our server was more politics than fighting so nobody bothered us they just pitied us cause at the end of the day us dumb beach bobs didn’t realize a stego wouldn’t do shit to nobody lol
@@MusicFreak0426 😂dude I spent like 3 hours on a lvl 5 paracer after coming home from school and my classmate joined and went in the swamp with it and it died 💀
@@MusicFreak0426I remember my group was ready for argys and I was better at taming. Every night I’d get on, find a good one, knock it out and my buddies would bring me prime on shift cause it would take 6 hours and I was the one who loved taming lol 6 hours of sitting on my phone and talking watching a video game bird. But no game ever touched my heart like ark did. It was my life outside of work lol
Lmao that's fair I just remember it because one of my Favourite RUclipsrs actually has done that for a whole Video, flying after a Quetzal with an Pulmon Set on aggressive and carried by an Argentavis, He in the end did manage to knock it out that way
Man, back in 2016 that Green Obelisk where you fought the Broodmother was Blue Ob. Green Ob was where Red Ob is now. I have fond memories of that place.
Wow... so many memories of playing with old friends who carried me hard lol. I would just take their tames out and never return with any of them 😅. Between watching this video and reading the comments, the nostalgia is real. Thanks for this video.
Holy shiiiiiite. What a delightful watch. I think I first played Ark right before all of "this" changed, because I REALLY recall this menus and such. Though, I didn't get to play nearly enough to fully experience the trials and fuckulations. Thank you. Great content!!!
I remember this time, taming a pt without a bola is a real pain. First try I chase pt and end up meet alpha raptor, second try I struck a carno, third try got mauled by a trike. fourth try is success, I'm using my pt to look around the island before accidentally press button and jump from my pt high in the sky.
This brought back some good memories. Still watching but man I remember the first time I started breeding omg the time it took was insane, let alone to hit imprints. One thing I always missed that they nerfed was argy speed. You could fly so fast. Omg when ovis were introduced and it was one per map it was a crazy hunt. Till you learned where the spawns were. Man this game changed so much from day one. Then they erased all our servers. Well separated them with no support. Great video! Thank you!
breeding back in the day was a contract, you put your alarm every few hours to wake up and imprint your dino 😂, you would either go to work/school or you'd play ark. No inbetween
Hello Baron, I just wanted to tell you that i discovered your channel recently and i love your content, i hope you will get more subs with the time😊 (Sorry if my english is bad, im from France)
The best thing about these videos is that you're pro at the game, meaning that people can learn from your own experience. Plus, you are very good at editing your videos, and i hope you have a good day. Keep up the good work baron, see you soon in the next video.
I remember playing ark back then.. 30+ in game hours using a regular bow because rates were so slow, actually needing the compass, as there was no map indicator, and babysitting a carno for literally 3 hours to tame... then one day I logged in and my base was gone because it had been turned into the swamp. Good times!
Day 1 of playing ARK on console was amazing. My friend and I managed to beat the server queue and found ourselves exploring the south, just outside the swamp. We were busy picking berries and trying to figure out our next move when, out of nowhere, someone on a ptera swooped down and snatched my friend. That unexpected moment turned into one of my favorite gaming memories ever
Nah i miss this so much i played a week after release date as my dad played it hes played it and has like 12000 hours on it and ive played it so much i love it
Hey man, just wanted to say that you make amazing content🔥 I never watch PVE/modded ark and only like PVP focus videos but man you make it so entertaining to watch! I'm glad I clicked on you video today, Keep up the good work! Also this video brings back so many memories man god damn 🤣
I loved this. It was about Dinos vs you, the player, and you got stronger only over time. Stuff made alot of sense instead of the TEK and Breeding fiesta that Ark is now. The bow was a big deal, your first shitty Gun was aswell. Then at some point sometime, your tribe got a Rex. Well, tribes with Stone were fucked. And you didnt have the metal raiding BS without C4. Loved it. Also, every Dino had such a Purpose it feels. People really wanted to tame everything because it was so useful. Trike was your first go to dinosaur, youd get a stego for even more berries and so on.
Damn that’s hard but ngl it’s kinda like ark mobile in some points like the sound effects and half of the dinos didn’t exist but ark mobile i think has tek and redwoods but that made it more easier then this version that ur playing ..good job playing this ❤ (:
I'm 40 seconds in. You just brought back a feeling of happiness and nostalgia I didn't know was still in me. ARK was such a good game back then and me, my friends and the people on my stream had such a good time.
I miss the old Ark honestly, or just the memories. Back when I was five-six, I saw a video on Ark. I really wanted to play it, but I didn't remember the name. I also couldn't find the original video. About a year/few months later (I don't exactly remember XD), one of my father's friends recommended Ark to him and said to try it out. We went to some place and picked up a used X-box 1. After bringing it home and installing Ark, I was so happy when I realized it was the same game. I'm 15 now, and my father and I have been playing it ever since. (My father takes long breaks from time to time.) I started playing a few months before SE came out, in 2015 I believe, early access. My father and I got so addicted to it to the point my mother started to get frustrated because we weren't helping out with household chores. He doesn't play it much anymore which I understand. I remember raging because I couldn't remember how to open my storage box XD. I want to share so many memories, but this is just a RUclips comment. Thank you so much for bringing all the memories back, Man! I've watched a few of your videos and they're great! Keep up the good work!
AMAZING VID AS ALWAYS BARON, ur editing style keeps impressing me and ur channel growing so fast man .im so glad to u see u reach this level. keep up the good work
I feel like this is missing the terror that Troodons imposed way back when. I remember we had spikes and dino gates surrounding our little 2x2 base and 10 Troodons piled up World War Z style, climbed on top of our spikes, over the dino gates, and killed the few tames we had on an official server. Old ark was BRUTAL but it was beautiful before tek.
@ ohhh, I was wondering why they never made a surprise appearance in the middle of the night lol. I played on PlayStation 4 shortly after release in December of 2016. Those things used to drive me crazy
We literally used to use damage loaded scorpions carried by argies to tame quetzals and yes sometimes they’d just die and other times they’d just despawn
Genuinely my FAVOURITE ark youtuber ive seen,another dinosaur game that's actually really good and could make good content is path of titans,you play as the dinosaurs and kill other people
when the menu still had animations :( sometimes i miss the old ark, back when i had no idea what i was doing getting killed by raptors every six seconds
Wild how our perception of the game has changed since then. There are so many quality of life features we take for granted, and so many simple pleasures that are lost to time
i dont think i can do that.. since..hmm.. id probably need a second computer and port forward or smth cuz theres no hosting services for it etc etc.. maybe at some point

I remember playing ark back then.. 30+ in game hours using a regular bow because rates were so slow, actually needing the compass, as there was no map indicator, and babysitting a carno for literally 3 hours to tame... then one day I logged in and my base was gone because it had been turned into the swamp. Good times!
Those were the days
Day 1 of playing ARK on console was amazing. My friend and I managed to beat the server queue and found ourselves exploring the south, just outside the swamp. We were busy picking berries and trying to figure out our next move when, out of nowhere, someone on a ptera swooped down and snatched my friend. That unexpected moment turned into one of my favorite gaming memories ever
first time playing ark is truly the best experience oat
Nah i miss this so much i played a week after release date as my dad played it hes played it and has like 12000 hours on it and ive played it so much i love it
beautiful editing and awesome entertainment, new subscriber bro keep the good work
the crossbow sound made me go so much back in time when i was a kid and watching my countries one of firsts ark players gilathissnew
3:33 that's what Last dodos saw before humans make them go extinct.
the crafting sound and engrem sound is so much better than the nwe one. i liked it way more at that time
i like the headshot/hit sound
The memories ! blast from the past, absolute BEST ark youtuber !
HELL YEAH ❤️❤️
I remember playing this game as a Dino Dayz game. Good times...
Ive never seen 2016 ark before thanks for showing me dude. I appreciate that😊
Real Ogs remember finding their stuff by holding a torch just before u die
wtf THATS ACTUALLY TRUE, but if u get eaten gg
@@baronwuztaken can throw it on the floor too
@@adampadgett242 ah, makes sense, thats actually genius
Hey man, just wanted to say that you make amazing content🔥
I never watch PVE/modded ark and only like PVP focus videos but man you make it so entertaining to watch! I'm glad I clicked on you video today, Keep up the good work!
Also this video brings back so many memories man god damn 🤣
thanks a lot man
finally away from the brain rot
😂😂
I don't even know how I found this dude but now I watch him nearly every day and I love him❤
The memories they always come back once or twice
It being 7 year's
i swear man... it was nostalgic AF
@@baronwuztaken Yeah
Can I get a shoutout@@baronwuztaken
I am from czech but our Ark youtubers don't recording So i am So happy for you i can finnaly watch yours videos❤❤❤
Thank you very much❤️❤️
I loved this.
It was about Dinos vs you, the player, and you got stronger only over time. Stuff made alot of sense instead of the TEK and Breeding fiesta that Ark is now.
The bow was a big deal, your first shitty Gun was aswell.
Then at some point sometime, your tribe got a Rex. Well, tribes with Stone were fucked.
And you didnt have the metal raiding BS without C4. Loved it.
Also, every Dino had such a Purpose it feels. People really wanted to tame everything because it was so useful. Trike was your first go to dinosaur, youd get a stego for even more berries and so on.
Thanks for this dude! I can't believe I get to see some dinos before their tlc lol
no worries man
That sound brought joy to me but also still haunts every time I craft arrows
😂arrows are crafted stupidly fast Jesus
@@baronwuztaken bro have you forgotten to enable wandering for breeding your dinos?
wow thats crazy how nostalgic, i remember using a small piece of tape to make a x on my monitor to create a cross hair XD
dude thats actually genius 😂
Damn that’s hard but ngl it’s kinda like ark mobile in some points like the sound effects and half of the dinos didn’t exist but ark mobile i think has tek and redwoods but that made it more easier then this version that ur playing ..good job playing this ❤ (:
That what I thought
I'm 40 seconds in. You just brought back a feeling of happiness and nostalgia I didn't know was still in me.
ARK was such a good game back then and me, my friends and the people on my stream had such a good time.
This man cooked without learning the cooking pot engram
I miss the old Ark honestly, or just the memories. Back when I was five-six, I saw a video on Ark. I really wanted to play it, but I didn't remember the name. I also couldn't find the original video. About a year/few months later (I don't exactly remember XD), one of my father's friends recommended Ark to him and said to try it out. We went to some place and picked up a used X-box 1.
After bringing it home and installing Ark, I was so happy when I realized it was the same game. I'm 15 now, and my father and I have been playing it ever since. (My father takes long breaks from time to time.) I started playing a few months before SE came out, in 2015 I believe, early access. My father and I got so addicted to it to the point my mother started to get frustrated because we weren't helping out with household chores. He doesn't play it much anymore which I understand. I remember raging because I couldn't remember how to open my storage box XD.
I want to share so many memories, but this is just a RUclips comment. Thank you so much for bringing all the memories back, Man! I've watched a few of your videos and they're great! Keep up the good work!
thank you for sharing this experience man ❤️ if you wish you can replay this game (if you're on pc), join my discord and go to #resources
@@baronwuztaken No problem, I'll join your discord! Also, congratulations on 20k!! You deserved it man!
You're my favourite ark youtube
❤️
Can't fkin remember the last time i laughed so hard at puns and edits of some random youtube suggested video
I still remember as if it was yesterday 🥹
AMAZING VID AS ALWAYS BARON, ur editing style keeps impressing me and ur channel growing so fast man .im so glad to u see u reach this level. keep up the good work
absolutely maaan❤️, thank you so much
11:14 Hello from Russia, I'm surprised that you inserted this person
I absolutely LOVE Mellstroy memes, I just had to.
@@baronwuztaken Noooo bro, this is not exactly the person meme that is worth laughing at, he is terrible
@@FXR3NZY I heard.. but the green screens are still good tbh you gotta admit 😆
I feel like this is missing the terror that Troodons imposed way back when. I remember we had spikes and dino gates surrounding our little 2x2 base and 10 Troodons piled up World War Z style, climbed on top of our spikes, over the dino gates, and killed the few tames we had on an official server. Old ark was BRUTAL but it was beautiful before tek.
troodons are still a pain to deal with early game, but they didnt exist in this version
@ ohhh, I was wondering why they never made a surprise appearance in the middle of the night lol. I played on PlayStation 4 shortly after release in December of 2016. Those things used to drive me crazy
2:12 i play mobile Ark, that is way too exp, in my game i get like, 0.33 exp points for every stone
💀wtf
You should have million subscribers I love your videos. I’m subscribed.❤❤❤
We literally used to use damage loaded scorpions carried by argies to tame quetzals and yes sometimes they’d just die and other times they’d just despawn
Another video of this man, i love that hahaha ❤️
My childhood
im so glad i found this channel. youre very creative with these videos and the editing is funny and entertaining, hella underrated
thanks a bunch brother ❤️
7:54 I am become death the destroyer of worlds aah moment
😂😂NOW I AM BECOME DEATH
Genuinely my FAVOURITE ark youtuber ive seen,another dinosaur game that's actually really good and could make good content is path of titans,you play as the dinosaurs and kill other people
never heard of it, i played primal carnage back in 2015 tho if u know that game 😂
@@baronwuztaken my friend told me about it, was thinking of maybe getting it aswell
when the menu still had animations :(
sometimes i miss the old ark, back when i had no idea what i was doing getting killed by raptors every six seconds
😂 exactly.. thats why I made this video... to share with you guys the nostalgia
the goat strikes again with a masterclass of a video
Next time Name your Dino like me!! Tropycal Rex goes hard :)
how about tropycal giga 😂❤️
3:50 If you are on controller you still have to split it one by one because there is no split all on xbox or playstation.
its so annoying
I keep rewatching your videos waiting for a new one to come out keep up the good work
Hey I just started playing ark again because of your vids and have 6 artifacts and am leveling boss rexes soo thanks!
ayyy good luck with the boss man ❤️💪
@baronwuztaken thanks going for alpha but my rexes are op so I think I'm good naming a rex after you for sure
@@EditsR_cool ❤I'd be honored
Let's goooo new vid 🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥 I love your content bro. This video will bring back soo many memories! Thank you 🙏🙏❤❤❤
no worries man, feel free to play it if you want ❤️
if only we could go back to when there was no swamps. i build my first base near the end of the river which is now the eastern swamp area.
we most probably CAN however you have to search deeper, I did find a 2015 ver but settled with a 2016 ver with far far more content
just started watching now, cant wait for this banger to be finished!
Hope u enjoy it maan ❤️
You are the best !😎👍
no, you are ❤️

😂bro they fr copied
@@baronwuztakenwhen minecraft steals from ark lmao
Wild how our perception of the game has changed since then. There are so many quality of life features we take for granted, and so many simple pleasures that are lost to time
I agree, literally being able to use things in inventory by pressing E as opposed to spamming "remote use item" is such a good change
The ark music bro…
G(old)
This is weirdly pleasing..
@baron, how about u start a pvp server with the old ark, it would be so huge ! :D
i dont think i can do that.. since..hmm.. id probably need a second computer and port forward or smth cuz theres no hosting services for it etc etc.. maybe at some point
@@baronwuztaken If u made it happen u would become a legend, like imagen how many people want to play the old ark at least once again. you could host a server and would min. get 1000 people
@@IJustinI 100k special? 👀
@@baronwuztaken i would sub 90k times just for that to happen
The good nostalgia
big nostalgia
How nostalgic. I played the game on its first day on console, which was beyond buggy. This brought back my memories, happy ones with beach raptors 😂
Tha GOAT 🐏
FR 😂❤️
i started playing ark in 2020. Man i remember when lost island came out. I might not be an og, but i enjoy the game how it is rn in my opinion.
It's incredible how the original Rex is so superior... Well, the whole game was superior, to be honest.
fr, back when a giga made you instantly alpha tribe
I’ve been playing since the game came out and seeing this all again it’s just great
