Summary- The concept, setting, skill system, and load out system are awesome. The actual gameplay and graphics leave a lot to be desired.
Graphics- They are just flat out bad. The maps are bland and colorless, the resolution seems awful, the animations are stiff, it seems to run at poor FPS, and the view distance is low. I can deal with low quality graphics but I at least want them to be clear and the game to run smooth...this game just looks muddy and is choppy.
Core Shooting Gameplay- This is also just bad. I've tried both M/KB and DS3 setups and experimented with the sensitivities in all types of suits. No matter what I used the shooting is stiff and ridged, tracking targets is a chore, and turning takes forever. I just feel like I'm driving a boat or a mech, not a mercenary in a drop-suit. The hit detection and damage calculations also seem to be all over the place.
Skill System- This is great. I love how you specialize and earn points overtime and for completing games. I think it adds a lot of complexity to the genre while still keeping it accessible.
Loadout System- I also love how they do the loadouts where you must restock and you loose resources upon death. It's a great idea that gives death consequences while still allowing people to have fun. I think it fits into the EvE universe nicely.
Gametypes- The Ambush or TDM mode is horrible. The spawns completely ruin it. The other conquest like mode is far more entertaining and fair, though it's still a bit generic atm and is essentially the same as all the other conquest modes done in games throughout the years.
So those are my thoughts so far. I'm sure the game modes will become more fleshed out and unique overtime but I am worried about the graphics/performance and poor FPS gameplay, but it's all up in the air at the point.
Suggestion-
-Figure out a controller to support and focus on that. You will never be able to balance the DS3 and M/KB without crippling one or the other user.

Thank you for posting your honest opinion. Are you one of the EVE players who got Beta access this past event? |

I have played EvE in the past, but I got in through the Mercenary Pack. I'm mainly a PC player but dusted off the PS3 to play this game.
I know I sounded a bit grim but I think it has a lot of potential if they can just fix up the core mechanics thus I wanted to give them some feedback. |

The problem with spawning can be mitigated by using drop uplinks - limited use deployable spawn points (which also give you points when team mates use them).
Other than that, I largely agree. I'm not sure I'd say the graphics and core shooting gameplay are bad, since I'm still enjoying the game, but they certainly aren't great... |

Agreed. I am having a lot of fun with the game, but I do realize that it comes more from the lore, depth, and community than just the on the ground action. I do not think it quite as bad as some do, but I do see much room for improvment. Since you did the merc pack I hope you come back and give it another shot after lauch to see if oir feedback made it in. |
