I've heard so much about this game and just how deep it could be. Is it worth giving a go?

Edited by MR E0S: 2/2/2013 4:08:00 PMHere's a short review to discourage you. 99% of the time your playing is going to be spent mining an asteroid. Transporting it to a base, rinse and repeat. While that is happening... your waiting hours/days/weeks/months (because that's how long it takes) to learn a new skill, so that hopefully, one day, you'll be able to get away from the mining business to be a fighter. The game is actually quite boring. The most boring MMO I have ever tried to play. Also keep in mind, that controlling your space ship is not intuitive AT ALL. It's almost all autopilot, no joystick control whatsoever. You can dbl click your mouse in some random blank space to get your ship to head in that particular direction though. But as I said, it would have been better if you could fly around with a gamepad or something. In other words, because of the way training works. By the time your ready to move on and try something new, the games says "No, you still have a month left to train for level 5 drones". etc. And there is really no way to speed that process up. EVE is a game of time invested, not skill. Here's a better TL:DR If you wanted to play an MMO that felt like a real job. You'd be better off just getting a real JOB!
