Eve Offline 4.0

(1/5) > >>

Mizhara:
Release on the 30th.

Not gonna lie, I'm equal parts hyped as hell and very very worried. X: Rebirth was more of a coathanger abortion and a betrayal of the entire franchise, but everything I keep seeing about X4: Foundations seem to be a return to form. Everything we loved in X2, X3 etc only bigger, better, shinier, prettier, dakkaer, etc etc.

A singleplayer first person universe simulator, as complex and in-depth as Eve's ever been, with better combat, prettier graphics and so on? The drawback of there not being the social aspect of Eve is balanced by the delightful benefit of it not having the cancerous social aspect of Eve. Fuck I want this to be good.

Mitara Newelle:
I'm with you. Very hopeful for this new release... X:Rebirth was wtf?

Mizhara:
Should probably have linked this video that talks a bit more about the gameplay. Claims to be the biggest and most complex (in terms of gameplay options) space sandbox out there. If it follows X3's example, I wouldn't at all be surprised.

Mitara Newelle:
I got turned on to X2 early in my EVE career as I was looking for something EVEish I could play that I didn't feel bad about just exiting out of at a moments notice.  I *think* I eventually finished the campaign.  I didn't make nearly as far in X3... I remember having some graphics issues early on with it that may have been why.

Mizhara:
I have never finished an X game. I suspect it's kind of like Factorio and that sort of thing. I play, I trade, I fight, I do the thingies and then after a while I get distracted and later start anew because THIS time I know I can do X and Y and it'll be so much better and then I get distracted and then I start anew and this time it'll be so much better because OGOD FUCK ME NOW THERE'S AN EXPANSION and so on and so forth.

... I don't regret it at all though. X2 and X3 were extremely basic in the whole immersion thing when it came to piloting ships, but this time that doesn't look like it's an issue at all.
