EVE General Discussion

No it wasn't, it's crap but it's crap for its own good reasons.
First among them being on console and not pc so it's immediate handicap
Is the hardware, then the actual player base, then the game (which has nothing to do with cod/battle field).

Imo Legion looks broadly like Destiny (in terms of concept) and depending upon the deapth of integration with eve and business model it could be rather unique.

Now it's still ccp developing it so it could fail miserably but I'm tentatively hopeful.

And I'm a fps player so feck off.

But they have now trees and lens flares.. if you only wait n+1 years it will evolve into the game you always dreamed of, seriously..

This would probably work if they would target a new audience who isn't used to CCPs way of dreaming publicly about a perfect product and delivering a underwhelming alpha version without any appealing gameplay. They probably destroyed that with Dust. If they ever plan to restart this and make some of the money they put into this project back they have to deliver something new and exciting right from the start or it will perish.

Their only success is EVE so far and I think the essence of what EVE is today was actually an emergent property of how players started to use the game and was in no way planed by CCP. I mean all the build in content is pretty underwhelming, EVE is only successful because of what players do and not because CCP came up whit some innovative gameplay.

Also look at what they presented about EVE Valkyrie. It was something like "It looks really awesome and you think you are in space. And now we try to figure out some gameplay for this new visual toy". I am not sure if you have a chance developing a game that is actually fun if the basic gameplay is something you still try to figure out even after you announced the game itself.

Maybe I am just biter and burned from years of false promises, but at the moment I don't think either one of this projects has a chance. Despite all this I still hope they somehow manage to deliver and show me what a fool I was to doubt them.

It has been acknowledged by CCP that cats playing Eve is a problem, and its not considered account sharing.

I don't know if cats shiptoasting on the forums is a problem, as cats tend to be less irritating than people when it comes to their opinions. To be honest, if you look at some of the threads posted recently, I would have rather read a cats first-person account of walking into the middle of a crowded room, flopping down with its leg in the air, and cleaning its anal region with its tongue for 20 minutes.

I probably would have goofed around with it and at least tried it out had they done that.

CCP has management issues. That's not really news anymore.

"Project Leigon", for heaven's sake, proofread what you type before your butterfinger hits the post-button!

In serious news, what I heard so far about Legion sounds neat. Hopefully it won't end up like Dust: Slowly dying.

I was super excited for Dust till I found out it was ps3 only. And since the PS4 is out now, they surely should have seen a change coming sometime soon™ how long can a ps3 game be supported at this point?

Legion is Dust for PC, just as everyone and quite a few grandmothers wanted.

Why it somehow kills Dust, when it is Dust, I dont know.

Well they've been playing Planetside and now Planetside 2 for years now. The problem isn't the attention span of the player, its the depth of the game.

So you have a PC based spaceship game with a strong fan following.

What to do next ???

I know ... a Vampire dressup game and maybe a first person shooter ... and lets move it from PC to a console.

yeah that should work out well
