I want to like ark, but I hate it. Not all survival builders are equal and not all are for everyone but they do have some really fun multiplayer action I think.

Conan Exiles or Valheim pretty much anything in that survival builder genre that's multiplayer will allow 5 plus people to play.

Imagine you are driving on a suspended license and your name end up in an article with domestic violence and probation violators. I am not sure how this is even news, headline should read "East Tenn. police finally take aim at the lowest hanging fruit."

I was thinking more of the chopping kicks to the calf like what took down sean o'malley but I do think that the experience of fighting would easily determine the fight I just wanted to know what others thought I know who Canelo is and what he does, I had to look up Messi cause I don't care for team sports.

If they fought and it was MMA or Kickboxing and Messi had time to train do you think his kicking could bring him up to snuff and make it a real fight or would Canelo still wreck his shit?

It's also visually appealing which helps the story feel more immersive to me.

are the down votes people that don't advise buying the game or do but hate that I don't share their opinion of the gameplay, I don't actually care either way but I am curious.

I hate the fighting in that game, I call that game Horizon Zero Fun. And yet I would say it's a good purchase at that price. Two reasons I'd say buy it.
1: it's wildly popular (everyone seems to enjoy it)

2 : The story was so good I ignored the horrible gameplay just to experience it.
