EVE is a good cinematic platform but not so great as a game
i wish there was more movies just about space combat
@nire Star Wars without the plot?
@Elizafox there is politics, intrigue, spy networks and last second saves, eve has literally everything for actual movies
its just bad at being a game
@nire Actually tbh trying to make a game like a movie leads to more tears than you'd expect.
The problem is movies are inherently on-rails and players expect games these days to.. not be.
Really trying to boil a movie down into a game usually winds up turning it into a visual novel, or it winds up sucking.
@Elizafox right but thats my point i dont want more games like movies
i want more games like games
and more movies like actual scifi combat :P
@Elizafox (this is not to say that 99% of the time the fights are unfair, this is to say that 99% of the time you /are not fighting/)
@Elizafox eve isnt a particularly good game, other than the 1% of the time you're actually fighting a fair fight
