To me, the main thing people should know about this game are two things:
1) It is a sandbox game, it is not like your average MMO. You have to make your own fun, set goals, seek out content.
2) Everything in the game is player driven. Community is key.

And of course the golden rule: Never fly what you cannot afford to lose.

Man 10/10 review better than 99%of mmo reviewers you actually played that game and learned a decent amount. Instead of giving up the second you found any frustration. Or saw that it wasn’t exactly like wow

200 hours and only just scratched the I've been playing for 20 YEARS and feel like I've only just scratched the Great game if you can stick with it. The secret is to find a group to join, once you do that then everything opens up.

i used to live in new eden. ceo of a 80+ pilot corp doing industrial stuff in null sec and joining big fleets fighting enemy corps and allis. eve is still one of my all time favs.

One thing I feel you glossed over is how you are not safe anywhere in space. The space police will destroy other players ships if they attack you for no reason but they may not arrive in time to save your ship. So, by all means, chill out mining in high-security space but never, ever presume you are safe. There is a large percentage of players who take great fun from destroying mining ships. And please don't watch Netflix whilst mining, you are a sitting duck. The example I've used applies to whatever you are doing in Eve, you are NEVER safe. That's what makes the game so intense. Great video nevertheless, I wish you luck o7.

Having never played the game before I found this is really helpful, thank you.

🤔 A thoughtful, intelligent, well-reasoned, ego-free, open-minded game review on YouTube. Not sure how to take that Cap. 😉 Outstanding video, sir! Me, it's been ages since I played but I like what they've done with the place. Yet I see that Jita remains the central trade hub. Loved Eve. It's a true MMO. But I'm a classic Bartle-type socializer and when my friends left... Unlike you I don't like spending hours relaxing on my own in a game world. But that's just me. Yet I am so burned out on ESO...all of us have a lifecycle in any game though. No MMO is really *bad.*

I'm thinking about coming back. I got busy last October after playing for about 6 months. I found the best way to make casual friends was to join mining groups. Eventually you'll find cool folks that are all hanging out chatting about news, world events, movies and tv, whatever. Meanwhile you can mine like madman because good groups will almost always have some defense for the group. I joined a corp at one point but really didn't like to be bugged by people to get more involved. If you're a hard working adult then it's a tricky game because of how much time you'll spend without realizing it. Especially planning ship fits and future fits. I really enjoy it but sheeez it's involved.

Thx for the review. I played Eve somewhat hardcore multi-boxing 10 years ago (wormhole business, nullsec warfare) and quitted to sort out my life. Those were some good times. Kind of shocked the UI did not progress at all. More fancy environment graphics for sure but it still looks like an excel sheet with billions of tiny sub menus.😅

I've played since 2009 and wanted to add context to 2 of the cash shop things.
1. For most of the game's life, you couldn't buy skill points at all. The in game timer to train skills was originally designed *without* microtransactions in mind. The reason for this is that it forced players to specialize to some extent. You can't do everything, and are forced to work with other players in one way or another. You can still play solo, but you still have to buy things from other players.
2. The ability to purchase in game money with IRL money was actually originally introduced to combat real money trading, and to somewhat equalize the advantage of having multiple accounts. As an example, if you're really good at the game and make tons of money, you're able to buy plex from another player, which then pays for your subscription. Eve literally allows you to pay for the monthly fee with in game money, by letting someone else pay it for you(in exchange for in game money). So while it seems initially pay to win(and it kind of is), it actually goes the other way where people who are good at the game can get multiple accounts for free. Also people who spend IRL money to buy expensive ships usually lose them in a spectacular fashion, since they "jumped ahead" of the usual progression.

Basically the monetization stuff is weirdly fair, and not at all pay to win.

I only started feeling like not a noob, after about 3 years playing this game. Its the best game ever!!!

[redoneredone]

I played the game for about 5 or 6 months a few years ago but gave up because I didn't meet anyone to play with and I just continuously got killed and killed and killed and didn't have enough income to make up for the lost ships.

I've started thinking about Eve again and this video was pretty helpful. Several of the things I remember but I never did finish alot of the things you dug into so maybe it's worth an Alpha trial to see if renewing all my Omega skills will be worth while.

GREAT review! Thanks for playing it and giving honest and accurate feedback.

[pauladams]

Thank you for this video and yes I felt lost too after the intro mission! However I have stuck with it and started to get into it. It really does have a steep learning curve which leaves you to fend for yourself, probably will try the enforcer as that battleship looks sweet :)

[goldeneagle]

never a bad time to start play eve. its a great social game, and no other games out there gives you the kind of adrenaline rushes you get in this one when you get into pvp and actually risk loosing stuff. you can do alot of PVE content, but it is all based around PVP, witch is the main drive for the game.

Deputy Heretical Coffee here, I would like to thank you for your cooperation when you were arrested sir.

Just remember, Might Makes Right and the WHPD is here to protect sacred wormhole space.

most games: i played 200 hours, I did everything there was to do, hell even played the whole game several times! i completely mastered this game

eve online: I feel like 200 hours is a good starting point

also would disagree that "all of the good ships are locked behind omega": T2 ships tend to not really be better, instead often being very specialized ships with a single, specific role in mind; for just going "basic ship but stronger", the nafy/fleet issue ships and pirate ships are a safer bet, and those can be used without omega (though i'd advise against it as considering their price tag, you will often want T2 modules on them, ESPECIALLY guns, most of which alpha players cant access)

[IIIgreendeadIII]

As a person that plays eve 3 years now, i really like ur video. U explaint a ton of things and gave a guideline which even experienced eve players and content creators fail to do so in a understandable way for not eve players. Can definetly recommend joining a (good) corp tho. Also to the t2 part/omega part t2 isnt always better but more specialised ^^

[TheCynysterMind]

I have been playing for 2 years now... I played for an entire year before going to Nulsec...
If your goal is to go into Nulsec I would suggest investing in combat skills first.
I went into mining right off and branched out from there.... and yes just as everyone says
Do not fly anything you cannot afford to lose.... better yet... do like me and make 10 of everything so losing one ship is more of an annoyance rather than a heart attack

[Korin-Darius]

You did a really good job reviewing EvE! As a long time player myself I appreciate and support this content.

[konpenv]

Great video. You hit the nail on the head with the ganking story. What would normally frustrate me is actually funny in this game, just because of the great community. Keep it up, dude.
