If this game had not been an Elder Scrolls game it would have gotten a much higher score in general...I believe that 100%. It just has too much good going for it.
It's a disappointment only because it's got the Elder Scrolls name for most people who dislike it. High expectations almost always leave you with disappointment. Some people just don't like it...I get that too.
if this game did not have the elderscrolls name attached, it would have been a F2P garbage game that was forgotten before it even launched.
the game is bad. that score is pretty generous for how bad it is. face it BSC14.... the negatives that are being spoken about the game are justified. it is just not special in any way.
You're over the top reaction and hate completely voids your opinion of the game. I get it though...it's how I felt about GW2 which got high scores and is no where close to being as good as ESO imo.
I don't need to face anything, I know it's flaws and I know it's not a perfect game but I like it and think the pros outweigh the cons. I know the negatives, I play it. I'm ok with people talking about the negatives...every game has some.
But again if people didn't expect it to take gaming to the next level just because it says Elder Scrolls in the title then they might see it's a good game. But they just can't get past the fact that it's not "the next elder scrolls"....it's an MMO.
The quote above (airshocker) is a perfect example of the problem with this game:
"I want the experience that Skyrim gave me when I play an Elder Scrolls game. That experience, unfortunately. doesn't translate well in an MMORPG."
It is not the next elderscrolls.....if that's what you expected, you're going to be disappointed.And this is the problem with the very large majority of the bad reviews...they wanted the next elder scrolls. Even the review in progress on this website says: "Perhaps it's unfair to expect The Elder Scrolls Online to deliver the freedom of an offline adventure, but given its title, there's no escaping such comparisons. Certain elements of Elder Scrolls design simply don't translate to a massively multiplayer theme park, though I greatly respect Zenimax Online's dedication to immersing you as much as possible in this relatively traditional MMOG"
I'm not telling you to not hate the game, I don't care one way or the other but if you and others can bash I can post the positives as well. This board is not a one-way street owned by the haters, it's a two way street.
