I came here because the 6 hour youtube documentary made it sound worth checking out.

I have never played a game more hostile to people trying to learn how to play it. Never. This isn't a game you need to "sit down and learn." This is a game you need to watch several hours of different youtube tutorials just to get comfortable with moving around the map in a really basic way. The simple tutorial missions themselves come with their own tutorials on youtube, which are only marginally easier to follow, and still leave you with more questions than answers.

I'll check out Eve: Vanguard when it comes out, and who knows. Maybe that will make me willing to try to learn how to play this game, later. But right now, the barrier to entry to do anything at all in this game is so outrageously high that, until they implement something like a legit tutorial mode, get used to the idea that you spend less time and effort learning a new skill in real life than you do trying to learn how this game works.
