That review has helped keep antisocial would be carebears out of EVE for nearly 4 years.

Exactly, the Original review left the plot at 1:23 in when it said 'I wasn't going to have anything to do with one of those player run corporations' and then some waffle about infected zombies or something.

I stopped caring at that point as it basically misses the point of EVE Online and why it's so good for this particular urban troglodyte.

There goes 4 mins 23 secs of my life I'll never see again :( OP if a game is too hard for you then just go off and do something simple that matches your..er...talents rather than trying to sound insightful about something you, clearly, don't have a clue about.

I'm pretty sure the last couple weeks have been been raging suicide gankers screaming that they are doing gods work by killing all the antisocial carebears taking over the game.

Actually, we're just trying to teach proper mining techniques.

But the students, they aren't so bright. Their progress comes in very limited spurts.

So that is what they mean by 'gun mining'. Sounds nice. Big smile

Pretty apt, actually. Players here flatter themselves about being better than other MMO players. Oh, yes, he did not participate in the famously brilliant player driven content that consists mostly, these days, of getting into a destroyer and shooting a mining ship. What fun that is! How could he miss it?

Also confirming that in the last six months major sections of the now-abandonware null were not successfully burned and claimed by the CFC.

Oh wait, suiciding miners is now the new sov mechanic?

Interesting that you use the word antisocial as opposed to unsocial.

Then you go make an alliance and take some nullsec.

The only thing that "your" review proved was that "you" have no friends. Neither real or imaginary.

I kill kittens, and puppies and bunnies. I maim toddlers and teens and then more.

Still my favorite review, best line :unless I'm underestimating the appeal of a second job you have to pay for. Lol

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

The video was funny, and I'm sure it helped sell lots of T-Shirts, but the fact remains that the reviewers experience is fundamentally flawed because he chose to avoid interaction with players in a game that is fundamentally about interaction with other players.

Actually, he was spot on with a lot of the game that a new player would encounter from the get go. Don't go all brown nose all of a sudden and decry that EVE is perfect. It isn't. Unfortunately for many of us it is the best sci-game on the market. I am hoping that in the future either EVE becomes a more rounded MMORPG experience or another game developer puts out an EVE Online type game that actually allows us to play a character and not a space ship.

Seconded, Ms. Jita. Speaking as someone who has quit and returned to EVE about 6 times now, I was agreeing (grudgingly) with pretty much everything the review said - it read like a checklist of why I've met dozens of WoW players, but only 2 others who play EVE.. I consider myself a 'permanent' player now, but it took a loooong time to truly appreciate how deep and interesting this game world was. I finally admitted I was sucked in when I realized that, using a spreadsheet setup, I had successfully created a 3-char PI scheme...and I had enjoyed it.
Not only did this game make me write spreadsheets, it made me HAVE FUN writing spreadsheets. God, that's frightening if you think about it.
So yeah, a 5 minute video review of this game by a guy who admits to having the attention span of a goldfish pretty much misses the point, but it's not like the stuff he was saying was exactly wrong, either.

Also, it's painfully obvious that the OP is just a troll. Why are people still replying to him like he cares?

You're quite an idiot. Eve is a social game, and you (or whoever made that review) stayed in an NPC corp. You deserve to be bored.

If you watch all his other videos, you know that he's just trollin. He points out the flaws in even the best games. It's funny as hell, and it's true to boot.

If someone craps in your sandbox: 1. Light it on fire 2. Grab your shovel 3. Throw it back at them.
