This has to be by far KVO's worst review in history. To be frank, the graphics far exceed any other MMO out there, you can't compare these graphics with that of Skyrim or any other modern SP game. SP games can have amazing graphics because not all of the world needs to be loaded at once, that's not true in an MMO where the entire world needs to rendered not only for you, but all the other players running around and engaging certain actions.

The fully voiced game adds a level of immersion that far surpasses that of SWOTR, the game even features more variety of voice actors than that of skyrim. Questing is not a chore in this game, in fact many of my guildies have leveled to 50 through exploration, crafting, and world events (Dark Anchors, Public Dungeons, World Bosses, etc.). The questing in this game is fantastic, each quest you do has a story of its own, and each quest giver has a character progression of its own. By lvl 50, having done all quests in the Ebonheart Pact, there are numerous amounts of NPCs I truly care for, whether it was their death or sacrifice, or bold progression they've made based on my actions. The overall story arc of the game exceeds MMO standards, as well as previous TES titles. The Main Story line is captivating and immersive, your actions vastly impact the games direction, and in the final moments all the NPCs you've helped throughout your Alliance's questing areas (1-50) will either be present in the end, or not based on your actions.

The overall bugs in the game should not be reviewed as a way to butcher the game as a whole, most bugs never impede anything critical, and Zenimax has constantly been fixing what has been reported. With all that said, bugs are very common in an MMO's launch, and TESO has strived at keeping it a very smooth launch.

For anyone who will base their decision on getting this game based off a review, I would not go with Gamespot's review, as it does not do justice to the game. Recently, GS has had a reputation for butchering quality games - See The Walking Dead: Season 2 - and praising other games that are far unworthy - See 'Gone Home' - and it seems they will only continue.
