I tried Eve for the 14 day trial. From what I played, I hated it. I felt so confined. Why can't I get off of my ship and explore a space station? Why can't I land on this planet and check out the sunrise?
The game is severely limited and the design isn't that ground breaking in my opinion. Space sims are fun, but this one isn't. I guess you could say I was really bored to death with it and felt confined like a rat... It is ironic really, all of space and I feel more confined than I do on a HL 2 map.
Some people love the game, happy for you, it just didn't do anything at all for me.
