Seen it and while it's worth a chuckle, it's not a good review. A 14 day trial in an NPC corp completely discounts whatever he says afterwards. The pleasures of Eve comes, much like a good wine, with age. You play Eve for PvP. Whether that be blowing up someone's or undercutting them on market orders or scamming them out of a mothership. BTW PVP is never mentioned perhaps ZP was trying too hard to be funny. The game's pve, while adequate, is a means to an end - money to continue pvping.
His COD4 review was spot on though. |

Well lets not forget if you sign up through steam you can get a 21 day trial instead...
and besides, since when do you review a game based on a demo or a trial? They are meant for people who check to see if they're interested enough to continue further, not a fully fledged review. Suffice to say while amusing, it goes no where near a proper review let alone somewhat decent one at all.

Not entirely true. I had plenty of fun realising that destroyers can sell for 30% more at noob start locations... and all the dramas of war decs and alliance/corp politics. Let alone eve tv was just awesome to watch, it's certainly obvious that a lot goes into politics and the market.
and hey, you can play the market a bit as a noob too. Plus missions get a ton better at level 3. |

Grinding for ISK (mainly mining) felt too much like a real job...
I might play again, but I just can never get into MMORPGs that much.
I really would like to like Eve though, the whole space thing is neat. :p |

Mining....I could never do it :nervous:
I mistakenly bubbled my own guys 2 hours ago. We had 3 reds jump into us. I bubbled. Then a fleet of 15 more jumped in as I hadn't heard the EO2 spike being called. We got decimated....whoops.
Lost my rigged Flycatcher and +4 implants (ouch!) but I feel worse about the other guys losing their ships. Oh well, live and learn. |

By the fan-fest 08 videos it sounds like they want to combine the best aspects of current EVE tech with the best of FPS, Flight-sim, and Vehicular war-fare in the future.
Imagine walking out of your corporations office on planet A, being shot at by party B, making a bee-line to vehicle C, fighting your way through group B's firepower all the meanwhile meeting up with a few of your corp mates heading to their space-ship launch pads as well.
You hop in your spaceship, engage in a dog-fight with some foes in a planets atmosphere, warping out of the atmosphere to a station flying around another planets moon in the same solar system. Having to fight off an undock-point camp that a group of pirates are holding, then docking in the station and fighting your way to your corps office in that station. |

Yea something like that is what would engage me, just being in your ship is not enough. It seemed like a glorified avatar. |
