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've tried to get into Arma 3 many times over the years. But it's just way too much for me. I like some MilSim, but Arma is so complicated and just not worth it to me. To make it worse, everybody that I've linked up with to learn how to play with always says that the base game sucks and you have to install 15+ mods just to start having fun.

Sorry, but if a base game isn't worth playing unless you spend 2-3 hours fighting to get 15+ mods all working together just to then get barely 40 FPS, spend another hour planning the mission, and then trying to remember the dozens of hotkeys for the 10 unique ways you can crouch next to a wall, I'm just not interested and it probably isn't a very good game.

Most people recommend playing Minecraft with like 50 mods, but at least Minecraft is a good fully playable game in vanilla mode...
