o7 o7 Warning! Opinions ahead, I reserve the right to be disagreed with in an amicable fashion. o7 o7 I cant recommend this game. it is a profound time sink, and has a really niche player base with very little payoff for more casual players. I played for about a year and i found myself waiting for the game experience to become fun, but it never did. the space combat is unforgivably boring, which as far as im concerned is a deal breaker. the ship designs are bizarrely ugly too, and it constantly tempered my desire for new ships. i care less about aesthetics than combat, but playing this i was forced to stare at my ship for virtually the entire playtime, so i would have been happier if i actually liked how my ships looked. the skill system was pretty much hands-off, you just had to wait for hours or more commonly days or even weeks to get a miniscule increase to a particular skill, and it never felt rewarding to max a skill out, just on to the next skill, a numb grind. i realize that many people would cite the massive battles that occur as a counter to my assertion that the combat is boring, but these huge battles are infrequent at best, and due to the in-game economy being so closely linked to real world cash value, these battles could very well cost you more than a few wrecked ships. most of the time youll be battling human or a.i. controlled pirates/bandits in small time skirmishes that serve only to highlight how uninteresting the combat usually is. i keep a book by my computer for when im downloading programs or whatever, and i found myself rereading the entire Song of Ice and Fire series while engaged in combat or mining, both primarily rely on the same skill set of moving the mouse icon and occasionally clicking buttons. i also grew to mistrust the company CCP and the community of this game, although im sure there were lots of decent human beings amongst them. the biggest problem i had with the community happened when i first started playing. the leader of one of the most prominent corporate alliances had shown up to a livestream drunk and called out a player by his real name and asked his followers to grief this poor, totally innocent guy. the leader said during the livestream that he wanted the player to actually commit suicide irl, and the big bad leader was marshalling his ingame forces to "make it so". this despicable behaviour was reprimanded with a slap on the wrist, a mere 30 day suspension from their little ingame council, and as far as i know, nothing more was done. there seemed to be a lingering resentment towards players who choose to pve or mine or whatever, and i read more than a few forum posts that were more like essays on how the elitist players are right in how they grief players who choose to mine, likening them to worse than mindless drones that deserve to die over and over. it felt like i was reading the manifesto of a sociopath, rather than a reasoned sensible opinion. there is so much more to say, but i cant realistically place all that i have to say in a single review, who would be interested in reading it?Show moreShow less

I Can't think of a single game I tried to like more than EVE Online. I Tried so, so hard and yet, I can't. I just can't. I Even went as far as subscribing Omega for 1 month. You see, on paper EVE is my perfect game. It really is. However, I unfortunately suffer from a sever lack of time to play video games due to several personal reasons that I believe are not relevant to this review. And due to this, I considered my time invested into EVE precious. One cannot simply play this game casually: It simply can't happen. You try to mine in high sec (supposedly safe) you get destroyed by someone multiboxing. There goes your haul. There goes your ship. You try explorations in low/null sec: You can't even make it there because of gate-camping. There goes another ship, there goes another couple of days (for me, of course) of work. It literally feels like there is no other content in this game other than PVP. I Literally see no other option for a new player other than joining a strong(ish) faction and play under their protection / do whatever they are doing. Unfortunately, I just like to play a bit more "solo" and, like I mention, a bit more casually. Exposing these issues to the community labels you as a "Carebear" and they quickly invite you to "leave their game" and "go back to Black desert". This community is some of the most deplorable ones I have ever seen. I Tried, I really did.Show moreShow less

Warning: Do not buy this game on Steam. Buy it from the officail website: http://www.eveonline.com/ The game itself is amazing, but the way it is integrated into steam may result in you getting screwed over with no support from Valve. I purchased this game which came with a free month. Then I bought an extra three month subscription. Everything played fine until three months in when I went to play Eve and the game had uninstalled itself. I tried redownloading it and it said I couldn't do to my subscription not being up to date. I emailed Valve about the issue and their response was that they only handle billing and to email Eve Online for support. I emailed Eve, and they responded that my account is still active for 1 month and that I should be able to play. I tried playing from the official Eve Online client but it wouldn't allow me to log in from my steam account. I emailed valve again explaining the situation and forwarding them Eve Onlines support email. I then waited a couple days for them to respond only for them to come back with a canned response: "We apologize for the delay. Support for this title is provided by the original developer or publisher. Please refer to the following article for more information on contacting the support team for this title: Title: EVE Online Link: http://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6573-GZXN-7027&tpg=1" No solution was ever reached and I lost the time I paid for. My account cannot be recovered because its associated with steam and not the official client. This is hands down the worst experience I have had on steam and the last time I use steam to buy any subscription time for a game.Show moreShow less

I have been playing EvE on and off for 6 years now. Do I like it? Yes. Would I recommend it? No. EvE is an exercise in humility. If you join now or at any point in the future, don't expect any satisfaction from this game. The trailers are made to make you believe that you can change something - the news broadcast about the battle of B-5RB are making your mind imagine things that just aren't here. EvE is not a Sandbox - it is a multiple choice point & click adventure like those "make your own adventure" books you read when you were a child. There is nothing new to be discovered, everything has been done by someone before you and better to the point where it is almost mandatory to use third party websites to fit your ship, mine, produce, explore or do anything in this game. You will not stumble upon a miner in distress in your first week and join his buddies fleet to see a large battle - if you venture into the PvP space you will be blown up either by the pirates or his reinforcements. Chatting to any of those groups will make you a target. PvP comes in three major varieties. Solo PvP revolves around finding a mark that you can take without any difficulties. If there is a chance that an engagement could let you lose your ship, you don't engage. For a new players this means that you will never get in any PvP you can win. Gang PvP revolves around finding a mark that your gang can take without any difficulties. If there is a chance that an engagement could let you lose your gang, you don't engage. Fleet PvP is just two massive blobs colliding. Most fleet battles are decided by who gets the drop on whom - since fleet battles tend to last for more than 10 minutes, a little tactics can be put into it with reinforcements. The Sandbox that is often quoted is nothing more than a tech tree with premade options. Ships, Modules and everything you make has been made by a very restrictive system of blueprints that allow no individuality. Any two ships with the same name will look the same, behave the same and do the same until you fit them with modules with the same attributes. So in conclusion this is EvE: You grind your ass off in the same missions or same mining belts for days on end, waiting for your skills that are based on real world time to learn to finish learning. Nothing you will do will have any impact if you haven't been playing this game for years, shelling out a quite high monthly fee for a somewhat dated game. EvE is the ultimate in waiting simulators. Get a better game.Show moreShow less

As an old MMO player of DAoC, WoW and UO, testing a game like EVE Online was a rather huge step for me, however I quickly learned that EVE is nothing like I expected. The game is completely controlled by players in every aspect. Everyone is playing on one major server and even though that might seem like it's insane, there are times where you will find yourself all alone in the universe. You start as a new pilot with an endless list of things you can do in the world, you can become a miner, a pirate, a warrior, a corp leader and many more. You can make yourself the richest in the game or just feel like destroying other people to annoy them and steal their cargo. You can build the largest corp or have a group of friends just mining and having fun. Everything is your choice, there is something to do for everyone. EVE is not like other MMO´s where you can just log in and play for 10-15 mins and log out, EVE takes a lot of dedication and time to master, the largest ship possible to fly takes 2 years in real time to just be able to fly and even longer to be able to use all its functions. Although your skills train even when you´re offline, if you want to be the best and the most powerful get ready to spend a lot of time in this game. All in all a great game and a great MMO that stands out, don´t let the monthly fee scare you away from trying as you can use in game money to buy monthly game time if you are rich enough, this won't happen after a month or two, but I did make it happen after my 3rd month and never paid since with Real Life money.Show moreShow less

TLDR: This game doesn't respect your time, unless you have 12 hours per day, every day for around 3 to 5 years, don't bother playing. Want that ship? 5 Months of skill training. Don't want to wait 5 Months? Be prepared to spend Thousands. I was tired of making trival money in HighSec, so I decided to go to Nullsec to explore in my Explorationship. Within 2 minutes, a Loki (T3 Ship, one of the best) was on my ass killing me. Why? Because he can, there was no money in it for him. Once you're that far into the game, 3 Million Isk isn't anything to worry about, chump change. This game isn't user friendly and caters only to the Veterans that have been around from the early 2000s. People can say "Oh outfit your ship with XYZ and you can avoid this". It's trivial because I will need to spend another 3 months getting those skills. Skills aren't grindable in the traditional sense. You don't get XP from killing things or doing missions. You gain skills in 1 of 3 ways. 1. You wait. A single skill at its base level can take 3 Real life days. Once you start getting skills to level 4 and 5, these can take between 9 and 30 days. 2. Open your wallet and pay 3. Grind ISK (In game currency) and buy the skill points. It's around 1 Billion ISK for 500,000 Skillpoints. EDIT - The comments prove how toxic and delusional the community is. Cope harder boys, cope harder.Show moreShow less
