I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it’s a bad game. Don’t do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you’ll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent’s cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

    Elite: Dangerous.

    If you want to enjoy it, you need to go in with lowered expectations and a certain frame of mine, lest you go mad grinding materials.

        I have a few hundred hours in ED. I accomplished absolutely nothing in the game. It’s basically Space Travel Wallpaper The Game .

      Oooh yes. I cannot even explain why I’m hooked. The first obstacle new players have to overcome are the absolutely insane default key/mouse bindings.

        Oh haeeell no, I used an xbox 360 controller, never KBM. …which is probably one reason I was trash at combat.

      I was really disappointed with this one. I tried it out per a friend’s recommendation after they heard I was playing a freeware space flight simulator (Orbiter, which I do actually recommend).

          Sort of a dumb reason, but imo, flying a spaceship is not really what the game is about and that’s all I wanted to do. For example, I wanted something where I had to use orbital mechanics to dock with a station, but the powerful SciFi boosters in Elite Dangerous take all that fun away.

      Agreed. Don’t expect the end and all of storytelling. It’s a make your own adventure game with surprisingly deep lore through galnet.

      Same here. I’d be playing much more of Odyssey ran better on Steam Deck. On foot stuff is rough, but maybe I should just look at my settings again. I can’t remember if they’re down all the way or not. Ship stuff runs just fine though!
