Came here to say the exact same thing.

Was hyped for the game since i LOVE Bethesda and Skyrim.

Giant Bomb Lets Play completely ruined my hype.

May get it when is cheaper or goes free to play

On topic though, Bethesda should have just went straight to the next Fallout game.

This is what happens when gamers praise a series, and continue to purchase it, simply for being "open world," and not criticize it for it's lackluster gameplay and broken mechanics.

Doesn't matter. It's their property and they green lighted the project.

Saw this coming from a mile away. Elder Scrolls style gameplay would not make a good MMORPG without revising to the point where it wouldn't be Elder Scrolls anymore.

The sad thing is, even if they don't fix the combat, the ai, the terrible story, the pacing. They will still have a large fan base because there's people out there that eat this make your own adventure crap/ open world crap up.

All they have to do is increase the land mass size, keep the same stale game play and they're still going to get sales.

You do realize this is about the online mmorpg not the elder scrolls made by bethesda. The good ones skyrim millions of people love including myself. Stop badmouthing things you know next to nothing about. A mmo isn't open world, it's got gates and until you are a certian level you can't go to certian areas. Hell you can only equip weapons for the level you are at. In skyrim you could go anywhere and if you sneak in and steal the sword of dragon slaying its perfectly accpetable. in an mmo its not , an mmo is multtiplayer always online, monthly fee..etc...

This was made by the publisher zenimax not bethedsa game studios....

Skyrim was good? but it was an incredibly average game with terribly shallow gameplay mechanics surrounded in a generic fantasy, piece by piece world. The elder scrolls in general is just plain terrible ever since Oblivion. Atleast Morrowind had some damn flavor to it instead of just paint by numbers fantassy.

They have done so little to move that series in a meaningful direction, and yet the hardcore fans lap it up. It's really sad, they could do so much more with it.

It's fine if you have a higher tolerance for garbage than I do, but you really should be more open to criticism. Regardless if it was made by the parent company or not, it still looks to carry over the one thing these games have in common, intense bouts of boredom.

The microtransactions is what told me to stay away from this game. It's obvious they have investors telling them what to do, and it's a shame that these developers have put a lot of work into this game.

They should just open up the game to modders and let them fix the game... thats what has happened to all the previous games... they are all kinda bad until you mod their gameplay, graphics and anything else you can think of.

Imperial edition paid off and ready to pick up day one for PS4. The PC beta was decent and I want to play more. Certainly better than FF which I have played on both as well.

*78 on metacritic* "PC gamer is the 2nd lowest review of 20 reviews."

Yeah, same here. Couldn't see myself playing it. When I play ES games, I am 100% stealth. Since it lacks that aspect, it doesn't feel like the kind of game I want to play... much less pay a monthly fee for. May check it out when it inevitably goes free to play.

They spent, what, eight years on this game? You would think it'd be a little better.

I never had any hope for this game and knew it would be shit from the get go. I am surprised it scored that high.

A Bethesda game that can't be modded to fix the horrible bugs and flaws? When has this ever been a good choice? At least the PC versions could be fixed and basically brute forced into running right, here you don't even have that option. Its like being a PC gamer except you have to pay to play online.

After seeing alot of gameplay videos and streams I think the game on its own looks solid enough but fails a being an elder scrolls game, and I realized the entire Idea of making a ES game online is a terrible idea. You just can't make an immersive open world game an create a compelling singleplayer experience because everywhere you go everybody will be doing the same thing taking you out of the game. Maybe one day when it goes free to play I might pick it up to try it out but sadly this game has fallen off my radar.
