EVE Online

Every time i come back to this game i remember why i stopped playing it.

Used to be fun, now mega-sweats ruin the game for people in hi-sec for fun more so than any other point in the game's history. I can't believe I bought the hype again and resubbed.

I played this outside Steam for years, my oldest account/character is from 2006 or even before. I didn't played it constantly but I really played a lot, my last subscription ended in 2022. This game was nice, but as other already said in their reviews the game is now owned by 10+ years old veterans that won't let you play at all. High Security systems were really high security and sometimes you could even mine peacefully half afk. But PvP is always on and with the implement of tier2 and tier3 ships the skills were adapted too, and now with a single tier1 cheap frigate/destroyer (smallest ships available also for free to play limited accounts) you can almost oneshot every ship even the big ones. I know that because in null sec with my corp players were doing many patrols with those small ships with long range cannons (howitzers) because they were effective (8-10 ships could oneshot almost anything) and cheap if lost. To try to remain in the high sec systems you need to CONSTANTLY check...

A Love Letter to the Most Masochistic Game in the Galaxy I've spent over 7,000 hours in EVE Online, and I'm not even kidding when I say I've lived and died more times than a sentient being should have to endure. And yet, here I am, still docked in the depths of New Eden, surrounded by the wreckage of my past mistakes. As an astronomy fanatic and a seasoned space gamer (Freelancer, anyone?), I was hooked from the moment I entered the vast, unforgiving expanse of EVE's universe. It's like being dropped into a cosmic game of "Survival of the Fittest," where the only constant is change, and the only certainty is that your ship will eventually get blown to smithereens. But don't let that deter you! EVE Online is a game that will consume your every waking moment, and then some. It's a game that will make you question your life choices, your social skills, and your sanity. But it's also a game that will reward you with moments of pure, unadulterated joy – like the thrill of executing a f...

What I like: - The scifi enviroment and aesthetics - The ships What I dislike: -In game progression is on purpose a time grind and punished by the other players. Skill points are the bread and butter, for you to use new ships, weapons, implants as well as use them better (more dmg, faster reload, faster speed, etc..) you need to train skills and these skills will take minutes on the lower levels to months for max skills of real time training. Also there are hundreds of different skills many overlapping with the same in game item so they can squeeze out the most out of you, to fly a ship as it was intended you need dozens of maxed out skills and this all summed up can take even years. Skill points is CCP main income stream as they sell you these skills points as time shortcuts for money on top of you subscription. Futhermore, the actual gameplay is around punishing players that want to progress to better ships and modules as everything you fly will eventually get destr...

Dont play, garbage P2W MMO with just as equally bad player base.

Please don't play this game. I'm bad at it and have enough trouble as it is, I really don;t need more competition.

A great game, a very high barrier to entry and STEEP learning curve but excellent once you put the time in.

Seems fine so far after 15 years
