I have to watch those dogshit animatics before loading into each world and I just want to know if anyone knows what the fuck the devs were thinking by adding those in, do they mean anything to the game? Or is it setup for ARK 2? Or do the devs just hate the players and want to torture us by pretending we are all in 3rd grade? Is there some story mode or lore quests im missing?
