EVE Online review by Baldvin Th

My review of EVE Online, inspired by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw from Zero Punctuation.

I have played the game for about a year and a half now and wanted to tell people about the game as it may be seen from a player that has been around for some time.

Hope you like it, and I apoligize for my accent.

@lordgirrit You can get a 14 day trial at EVE website, in that time you should be able to afford the next ship class above, the starter ship is free of course. Next ship class you would take is Frigate class, if you do missions you'll get a frigate within the week.

No purchase is needed on the software itself, you only pay for active membership.

I recommend looking for help if you're new in the game, recruitment channel will be a good place to start looking for future company.

Was the narrator using a computer generated voice?

[ShidenAkira]

No I wasn't, however I was using VoiceChatter to record the narration.

[ShidenAkira]

Well I suppose all criticism is good criticism :)

[Hauler24]

Well done man. Finally a good review.

You don't need any ammo to attack with the first "gun".

[jlmdfnbo]

@Akharthion You do, as a Minmatar.

@cookryu not allot you can walk around in a small room in a station and watch tv... but they are going to add allot more so you can hang out, and play casino games. the game Dust 514 is a ps3 game that will allow people in eve to pay players in dust to attack planets so that's sort of out of ship playing. but in eve there is no reason to get out of your ship.

[cookryu]

is there any out of ship playing?

A pretty good review, better then Yahtzee's. With that i mean that you actually gave a better picture of what the game is all about. The only thing that was a bit of a downside was the voice breaking up a bit.

@casemaster333

well yeah i guess there is truth to your words, besides almost 75% of new toons created are alts for veteran players

[casemaster333]

@753345 yeah i realise how long it has been going mate - i started in '04 and have seen a steady decline in both the quality of the updates and new content. There is also alot less people continuing to subscribe. And with this last bonk update.... well like i said, 5 years!

@casemaster333

been alive for 7 years.. still keeps growing.. so you suck mkay?:)

[casemaster333]

This game is rubbish - stay away from it - it will die a death within 5 years

[lordgirrit]

Do you have to pay (apart from the initial purchase of the software) to play the game? I heard it's really hard to get a better ship, and that your stuck with the same stuff for ages. How fast *(in approx hours) does it take to get a better ship you like for example (obviously not top but next on up)? THanks.
