Based company walks back Sony pushes for requiring PSN account to play (region locking many divers among being a generally undesirable thing), with the help of the community drawing out four drop pods in the form of negative Steam reviews.CEO then mentions turning a snippet of the steam review bombs into a cape.

Very nice, Arrowhead.

If you enjoy third / first person PvE shooters then put on the helmet, grab your cape and get in your pod we've got managed democracy to spread.

Ship "builder" doesn't give options to flip or rotate majority of the pieces, incredibly limited. You do not fly from planet to planet, not really, it's a bunch of fast travel nodes which completely detracts from the experience.

Not worth the release price tag, only buy if you can get it on a discount.

With over 1k hours i feel as though I'm qualified to write a review, but I don't have very much to say.
It's far more balanced than most FPS games given you purchase weapons each round and there are not characters with profound abilities, giving the not-so-skilled playerbase the ability to press Q to win.
You'll meet many, many russians and almost all of them will scream at you in their gopnik language and shill you tetris aggressively.
It's old but it's fun especially if you enjoy tight angle peaking and relatively slow gameplay. Despite the fact you will watch oevr some replays of footage and see you should have, in fact, hit that shot (even when checking footage from local LAN game) it still manages to be quite forgiving in that regard.
The only advice i can give to new players; rank doesn't mean ♥♥♥♥, I've met silver elite players who are better at the game than some Global Elite friends.

Spreadsheets in space, I played this some years back and have recently got back into this game. Arguably the best MMO out there as its the only one I still play to date.
I'll address some cons I have with the game first, as there are far less than pros;
-long way to go before you can fly really nice stuff, you're stuck to mostly tech 1 everything for the beginning, as tech 2 requires an investment of time and the faction gear (think rares and epics in other mmos) are relatively expensive and much harder to obtain.
-learning curve is very steep, as you're thrown straight into space amongst every other player there is no real safe space, as in high security areas people are still going to suicide gank you, death is very much a big part of EvE this much is true, however this means you have to have a basic grasp of everything once you start, now the current turorial is much MUCH better than when i first played so you're not completely in the dark. I would recommend asking corp/help chat for any information as its a lot to take in from the start.

Other than that I think this is a great game, where you have aspects of PVE content ranging from solo stealth missions to huge fleets fighting incursions, the PvP being completely imbedded into the game, be it fleets fighting one another or two corperations trying to bankrupt the other via market manipulation, its packed full of content!

Not to mention CCP are constantly adding content to the game and community, hosting events like the annual alliance tournemant or the recent lifeblood update, they're an active company and my personal experience with their technical help has been exemplary.

If you like spaceships, are pretty good at micro managing and accept dying is a part of learning then EvE is the game for you.

One of the best games I have ever played, the only critisism is the main story campaigne could be a bit longer.
Other than that, a truly wonderful game.
