The Escapist | Zero Punctuation: EVE Online

This week, Yahtzee hits the final frontier in search of a truly different MMO. Instead, he finds Eve.

Hilarious, as usual, but I can’t say I really agree…  Not just because I enjoy EVE, but because I don’t think Yahtzee got a good feel for the game.

I really can’t say I had a very good idea what was going on after only 14 days.  Sure, I was having fun, but I didn’t know what I was doing.  I’ve still got tons of questions.  Seems like he’d need to play for a good month or two to get a decent feel for the game.

And it’s also hard to really get a feel for a game like EVE when you’re playing solo.  So much of EVE depends on other players…  The game itself is really less of a game than it is a framework to interact with other people.  If you aren’t a member of a player corporation your options are really pretty limited…  I know I’m having a hell of a lot more fun now that I’ve joined EVE University.
