EVE Online

Very boring game

do not play eve online

What a game hours and hours of content

30 hours in and not a clue on how anything in this game works. i can see the appeal and maybe for working with other players already in it, but solo and going in alone this isnt the game for you. by now too, this game is so old that being new is toxic and they will let you know you are not welcome.

10/10 very hard and complex.

oops, that a year of my life gone in a blink of an eye.

hollow shell of what once was

The game's subscription is just outside my budget, I would probably fluctuate between alpha and omega...

If it wasn't so heavily skewed with a Pay to Win mindset...

I can get starbases and giant ships, but capping skills? Not slower skill progression (they also do that though) but capping the max amount of skills you have, and what skills to choose?

I might beable to overlook all that shit, if it wasn't for the fact they remove access to anything already earned once expired...

I have no intention comming back to a game that kneecaps pay to win mechanics this hard.

The one and only space simulation

I been playing this game on and off for years. I really enjoy the game. It can be a little overwhelming for newer players but once you get into it, The game can be really expansive.

The game is an abomination, it's main playerbase is built around finding the newest and inovative way to lie, cheat, screw over, and just plainly try and make your fellow players rage quit. If you're not a part of a guild you will not be able to survive. If you are part of a guild you will still not survive. If you're a new player you will definitely not survive, and you will most definitely be preyed upon continuously until you rage quit.
~This game is not about 3d spaceships going pew pew in space, its a Sociopath/Psychopath Simulator. If you're playing it for the video game and not to enhance your evil side, you're playing it wrong.
~This game is also about spreadsheets and looking at spaceships shoot at rocks for hours on end.
~Legend has it Donald Trump was created in this game

Here is the response from an elitist in regard to new players being killed and their quest item looted, sold and bricking the new players quest line;

"Sounds like a skill issue to me.

if you watch dscan, local etc. you can easily avoid other people shooting you.

If you run missions in highsec i doubt it that you get permaganked."

So if that doesn't mean anything to you because you have no idea what the hell that nerd was trying to say and are not interested in watching/reading guides just to do quests that are non-pvp to try your best to avoid having your quest line literally bricked then this game is not for you.

fun

multiboxing and micro transacations, as well as high sec being pirated have ruined this game

the spreadsheets got me hooked

This is a social sandbox MMO. If you are a solo player, this is not the MMO to invest in. Not because there is nothing for you to do but because there is nothing for you to build. You will have nothing to spend your money on until you join a corp.

My playtime ... 600 or so hours ... that's how long it takes to come to the realization that you're better off without this game. I think I'm going to return to Elite Dangerous actually, since you can flag on / off in that game and it is less a spreadsheet simulator and more a space flight simulator.

Eve has gone F2P, but has not bothered to enact the basic PvP flagging system that all other MMO games have. The kind which might attract new players, and retain players who are just sick of the nonsense. You know, adults with real lives who want to casually enjoy a game from time to time. The actual large market you'd think a company would seek out ...

Do you enjoy feeding the trolls? If yes, play this game. Do you enjoy running from trolls? If yes, play this game. Are you a troll yourself? Then play this game, spend real life money to buy the skills and ships necessary to hunt and kill others, and enjoy. Eve online turns one person's real life dollars into another person's frustration. It's a direct 1 to 1 relationship - the more real life dollars you spend, the more frustration you can inflict upon other people, and the more insulated you are yourself from the frustration others might inflict on you. Does that get you off? Then you've found your utopia. Link your credit card, and begin trolling other players. This developer has created a shadenfreude machine. It just costs a little bit of money.

If you want a game to play, where you are able to enjoy playing - by engaging with the PvE elements and NPC's and missions and stories - and opt into PvP sometimes - this is not your game.

This is 100% a PvP game, all the time and everywhere, and by installing, you are simply a target for the people who have been playing for years.

An extremely deep immersive Universe that requires hundreds of hours of guides and youtube videos to learn. On top of that training your character takes Real time not in game time so you can't get good by putting in a lot of hours, unless you spend a lot of money. That being said it's a very rewarding game at times.

Very PVP based because you can be killed everywhere. Learning how to survive more often is a skill in itself. It's hard to trust anyone in this game so if you find people to play with and build with (which i recommend), don't trust them too much.
BEWARE! The fact everyone is behind a screen truly brings out the worst out in people, and the people in this game take their second life in EVE very very seriously. No lie some of the most toxic people i have EVER seen! This is offset by some people that give the absolute BEST help and introduction, but you're lucky to come across someone like that.
One time i listed my 330 million ship as 33 million accidentally (which was a huge sum for a beginner like me) and after i messaged the guy he was extremely friendly and sent me the rest of the money.

I'm pretty sure it's only played by adults because of the time and money required to get to the mid-game.
Regarding CCP games the developer, don't expect them to care, they have been trying to move away from EVE for the past 15 years, they're absolutely sick and tired of working on it, but all their other projects fail miserably.
Don't fly what you can't afford to lose, and if you can buy some starting funds or get them from a helping person. Not having to worry about losing some ships early on while you learn can make ALL the difference in your experience in this game. I would advise to not immediately try and get into Industry or Marketplace because it's one of the hardest things to get into because of the competition you have from well established manufacturers and traders.
Multiboxing is allowed and very much encouraged. EVE is pay to win all the way to the top :)

Bottom line: If you are unemployed, have disposable income, and are a sociopath (i'm joking, please stay away, we already have enough of them), this is the game for you!

the best online open game for space opera fan

Far too expensive for what it is and it isn't what it was. So sad.

I will need to play for a bit longer as I am still learning how the game works, Although from what little I have played I am still yet to find something fun to do.

Game costs too much to play at this point. Twenty-five bucks a month to be competitive since an enormous amount of skills and training are now paywalled by the PLEX system. If you don't mind being horribly nerfed you can play for free but it's exponentially more difficult, for less rewards. The activities that can possibly net you profit as a free player (ninja huffing, wormhole relics and data) are still hugely frustrating since there is a massive part of the playerbase that only exists to tackle and kill anyone they find inside W-Space even if you're flying garbage like a Probe. Fair enough, it's part of the game, but it's really difficult to motivate yourself to care when the toxic griefing is so endemic to the system.

I used to moonlight as a space pirate gatecamping in Great Wildlands. I destroyed thousands of dollars of virtual spaceship property. EVE Online, the most boring space simulation game of all time. It will consume all that you give it and ask for more. Only fly what you can afford to lose. The best and worst experiences in EVE all depend upon which players you spend your time with.

Played it years ago before it was even on Steam. It was fun for a bit; very complex in design and you pretty much have to be extremely resourceful or spend real money if you haven been there since the beginning just to keep up. I think its cool but also a really annoying feature to use long real time cooldowns for crafting that exceed 24-48 hours. There is a bunch of things you can craft, from implants, clones and ships that take several days to months and a year if not longer. Thats a real time amount of time, not a Bethesda Hour which like like 3.5 minutes in real life. Kept up on some newer content via youtube and media posts, havent played anything new. Its still a very popular game just not something of my flavor anymore.

Id give this a neutral thumb if I could.

This is *the* quintessential sandbox MMO. For over a decade, Eve has stood the test of time.

I believe the Eve experience as a whole should be considered more of a 'hobby' than a video game. It's slower in pace, and is more skewed towards the strategic thinker. While there is no shortage of PvP opportunities, this is a slower burn then most traditional games.

Typically, you hear Eve as being described as having a steep learning curve; sometimes even described as a learning 'cliff'. I would have to disagree with that notion.

When broken down, the game consists of several *simple* interconnected game play loops. When looking at these various systems as a whole, yes - it is quite complex. However, when broken down - most mechanics are rudimentary at best.

Exploration is essentially a mini-game, Combat is typically a rock-paper-scissors affair, Mining is point and click and PvE is standard MMO grinding. While *mechanically* this doesn't seem too interesting, its how these simple systems all culminate together to form the economy, politics and universe that make Eve stand out.

The social aspect of Eve is probably one of its strongest offerings, and if you are interested in playing I would highly recommend doing the tutorial in entirety and then finding yourself a newbie friendly corporation to join such as Eve University. Be vocal, listen to people and make friends. That's what this game is all about.

The veteran of ol'school sandbox. Evergreen.

good space game

Love it. lol.

Best MMO

Dont recommend new to eve, did tutorial got a venture went mining and got blow up in 20 seconds by another player, lost everyhting unstillalled wasted a few hours of my life. Controlls are terrible to you have to use pre determined points and cant move ship the way you want to go.

i started to play again ! i love it , i joined a good corporation with discord . thats awesome how huge this is .

Best game.

5/10

I enjoyed mining resources and manufacturing my own products

Spent money on this game, woke up to find I'm banned for no reason because they had mistaken my account for someone else even though I hadn't played in literal months.

Go into the discord, and I'm treated like shit by two of the moderators, banned from the discord, and gas lit by them accusing me of being a different person.

The community around this game has always been garbage but it appears the staff team are as well. Avoid.

It‘s too freaking big to complete and it doesn't end until you quit and sometimes it might be hard to unless your computer explodes.

This is a spreadsheet with a screensaver.

The community is toxic, the game is an asymmetrical PvP cesspool. If you try to play, you'll just get ganked by griefers and sealclubbers.

You can't get anywhere unless you spend money on a subscription.

The game gained notoriety from the toxic community with scams and large corps betraying each other... this is not the kind of toxicity anybody should subject themselves to.

DOPE

The game has shifted to a monthly subscription fee, but if you like complex games with high customization I highly recommend it. It used to be less dependent on monthly subs or farming but has shifted to where all the cool stuff you need a sub.

200 hours and still have no idea what im doing tbh 👍

Best

botb

its a game i play to much, the end

Still Eve but now with a Damage over time weapon

Just give me my Steam badge.
Don't play this game. It will suck the life out of you while you're spinning ships in the dock.

Spread Sheets in Space. YES!!!

EvE is EvE

It can get frustration but is fun

The amount of freedom regarding gameplay is wonderful in this game. There is no inventory cap, almost nothing is character-bound, and the game world is beyond expansive. No matter your play style, there's a way for almost any style gamer to have fun in Eve. Fly Safe!
