I think it's a great game. It can be hard to grasp the scale and continuity of it's sandbox style gameplay as you're faced with the question 'Where do I start?', however for that reason is why I enjoy it. You can start wherever you choose, you are given a place to call your home in the beginning equipped with offices that give you missions in certain disciplines such as mining and combat etc. which are a good starting place to gain a basic understanding of the games features and mechanisms. Further that there is an in-built browser which is useful to look at EVEwiki and the forums for more information, hints, tips and guides for you to use to gain a better understanding of the path you want to go down and of what is available to you. It also comes with a notepad (with folder management) and a calculator etc... that you can use to calculate and keep notes of what you're doing or anything useful you find on the wiki or forums. The combat is also quite awesome and there is no limitation to what you can learn, you even continue to learn the skills you had assigned to development when you're not online. EVE is a game if you enjoy tactical combat, business building and working very hard as a community to manufacture and industrialise to keep the game running and to quell 'real' in-game threats. It's also a great casual game for people who dont have much time to play and can keep developing while offline for further enjoyment when they re-enter the game. I don't play it any longer for the same reasons though, you have to be in the right 'mind-set' for it... I found myself complimenting my need for more fast-paced action in other games. it's a FANTASTIC game and community, however it's only imbalance is that it can be painfully slow at times, depending on what you do. I feel It must be a part of your life and internal goals as well as a game if you wish to succeed. :) Thats my take on the game anyway. 8/10 in my books.
It would depend on the game style... if the game has a lot of speed, destruction and finesse etc.... It would be fun to watch recorded footage back for strategic reasons, to show-off :D
It is looking good :) I enjoyed the first Guild Wars very much, and I am inclined to agree it had more 'fun-playability' than WoW did, when it stood the test of time. However, I'm waiting on Final Fantasy 14 out of preference ha ha. :)
There are so many MMORPG's out there... a lot with the same format and a lot that offer you free content and paid content. Due to the sheer amount of supply in this area it's really down to personal preference... however I do recommend Tibia, which is free. It does have premium services though, like most games... :)
I enjoy it too... There are not many players (as of yet) and you have to wait til' end-level before joining an existing game which can be tedious but besides that it's fun game-play. :)
