Eve Online

[Bijo]

I have never played any game of its genre. The time to utilize for it would be immensely great. It would probably be very addicting. That is if I would be vulnerable to it... it is probably not my genre. And every game has its fools (especially online). By that I mean there are people who play games who have no concept of what is appropriate and what is not... silly people, silly annoying teens, kids, etc. who for instance communicate in the following kinds of ways:

"OMG!!!oneone!11! you suk!!!!"
"dsah;hda;fda u noob!@@!one22two!!"

Actually, EVE is probably the only MMO without idiot noob kids, on account of the fact that the absurd training times and difficulty in making lots of money when you first start drives them away, as they have no patience. That is why i love it so.

I see. If that is true, then I retract the second point of my previous statement.

Presence of such people in-game can be annoying: I noticed on the WiC beta how some people acted foolishly; or when I used to play Far Cry MP there were many people (probably kids too) who simply behaved in unacceptable ways and show that there are gamers who are really stupid; people who deliberately insult others instead of helping them, etc.

Overall I would say that it's a good game, not a great one but not bad either.
My main problem is that it's quite boring and lonely I guess you can say.

I have seen the screenies from this game and it looks amazing.
But MMO's are not for a family father... I hope there are games like these when I retire.

The only MMO I have ever played was Star Wars: Galaxies. And I guess it is as with other games, time consuming to say the least. I loved it though, the 14 day trial and the one month I suscribed. I even got my first Light saber before I had to let it go.
I didn't see any of the trolls there, but only found people that were considerate and helpful.

Considering by the absurd amount of advertising i've seen for it (trust me, you'll have seen it at least once on the net) they are doing very well, and will probably keep on going until your kids have left home, and by that time they'll probably be using a whole new graphics engine and looking shinier than ever while running on DirectX 13

Oh how i can dream.
