    This game seems more interesting to hear about than to actually play

      Fernando Yeah actually haha. I've heard all these crazy stories about EVE and then I watch a gameplay video and its just "...oh.... ok"

      If Eve had the gameplay of the X series, it'd be the greatest game ever, but as it is, the game is more like a L.a.r.p.g. which leaves many of us hoping for more.
      The game also has a subscription fee which i and many others aren't prepared to pay :_ .
      And while Eve does indeed have a deicated fanbase, IF Egosoft ever make X either partially online or a full mmo, i wonder how many of those players would keep playing it?... :) .
      (I also tried playing Dust 514, another game which could have been so much more, pity it didn't relaunch on PS4 :_ .)

    • @ousooners5193
      @ousooners5193 8 ปีที่แล้ว +87

      +Fernando That's because most people have been trained to play mmo's against the mechanics of the game. In EVE the mechanics of the game are meant to support your play against other players. So if you play it like you play any other mmo, it feels soulless and boring. Really, EVE requires some imagination, and some willpower, which most people have forgotten how to use.

    I've said it before, but Eve is the most fascinating game that I will never play lol. It's amazing what the game has become and the approach the developer has taken toward the game, and I find it a lot of fun to keep up with the major events in the game, but there's just way too much going on in this game for me to want to invest myself in it.

    • @Seluecus1
      @Seluecus1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +40

      It really does take a lot of energy to play Eve, and unless you know exactly what you want to do when you start playing... it will be hard to stick with it.
      If the interest is Pirate based. Brave Newbies always takes new players. :p

      xMcSwaggx well...it depends....at first I immagined him as a fat sweaty white guy with glasses and hair on his back.
      now that I saw what he really looked like I was like hmmm....he is a guy that actually takes care of himself.
      and besides we are all humans we do not only like social interaction we crave it. and nothing beats REAL social interaction with people you share a passion with. digital social interaction is fun but it doesnt come close to meeting people in person.

    The funny thing is, the Mittani is probably one of the most skilled players in Eve despite not actually playing a lot. It's because he's managed to be able to win fights without actually winning. He might be wierd, quirky, and a bit crazy - but there's no denying he's got an amazing knack for being a space dictator.

    Oh, I didn't know until over 4 minutes in this guy is the leader of Goonswarm. Nobody cares about Goonswarm. They're just a mass zerg corp that rarely does anything other than run around doing mass uncoordinated PvP. I haven't played the game in years and I know that. Goonswarm is hated by most people not because they control things or are the biggest corporation or whatever. People hate them because they are anti fun and that is their only interest, on top of them being the most toxic group of people anyone can ever meet.
    As he said, their goal is to make every experience as unpleasant as possible. And that's not just for big corporation wars. Goonswarm is most known for their creation of such events as going around places that are supposed to be safe for players, and working together to kill people and destroy ships that they have absolutely no quarrel with simply becasue they find ruining people's experiences fun. It's called Hulkageddon, and they do it because they're basically the Death Eaters of the game. Just like how in Harry Potter Voldemort and his army were like "FILTHY DISGUSTING HALF BLOODS" Goonswarm is the exact same way, except they go "FILTHY DISGUSTING CAREBEARS" because they simply cannot STAND the thought of people playing the game any way other than how they want it to be played.
