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?

I'm always torn about Elite Dangerous, similar to Eve's grind I beleive. It's a space game that requires hundreds of hours and 3rd party databases to have any sense of efficiency. There's no true interplayer economy so you're still free to operate solo (except that one time people with fleet carriers kidnapped noobs to slave mine). I have 900+ hours in 3 years and still don't feel like I can do anything I want. I enjoy the sights, but they're really repetitive. I relax while mining, but the payout just isn't on the same level as some gaming methods. There's no campaign and the lore is just small journal entries, so progress is only measured by purchases. You're free to write your own story, but eventually you grow tired of the sandbox. The alien invasion events spiced things up about 9 years into the game's life, but even that has become a little stale. Build the meta ship, work the events methodically, go home. The real world time sunk into travel for necessary upgrades is tiring.
But then, every once in a while, I'll use my laptop on the big screen with great sound quality and I remember what makes this game so special.
I agree. I love so much about the game, and have come back to it several times. But inevitably I get bored of the grind and the sandbox.
I think I have come to realize that I don't actually like sandbox games, despite there being several I have had a blast playing. I just loose interest in them.
I have a similar opinion on ED. The thing that keeps it out of the "regret" category is VR. I truly have never had a cooler experience than flying around in VR with my HOTAS, it's truly the most immersive thing I've ever experienced.....for the small price of $500 if you don't have anything already lol
I really want to get into VR for this. I tried it for a few minutes on a borrowed setup and it got me so motion sick. But for those 3 minutes, it was gorgeous. The tiny sidewinder felt tiny.
