The Elder Scrolls Online Review

The Elder Scrolls Online is a fun but buggy MMORPG with tons of content, but shouldn't be compared to its single-player counterparts.

Dear Bethesda,


When we asked for A multiplayer TES game, we wanted co-op, not an mmo.

[DihStyle]

that shit about paying $15 per month to play this game is the thing that keep me away from playing it, it's not worth that amount of money as it stands now. no game is..

[LightStorm]

Would be cool if it wasnt 15 bucks a month

[HayashiManabu]

The graphics are in fact top notch considering how large Tamriel is and that this is now an online game rather than a single player, where hundreds of players could clog the screen at the same time and the entire world had to be constantly fully rendered, but notwithstanding the above, lags were infrequent. I don't see why IGN should complain about the graphics being lackluster.

"if only it looks better" NO! if only it was no monthly fee!

[TheMentorKing]

Basically, no matter how much you love the Elder Scrolls, if you don't like MMORPGs, this game isn't for you.

4:51 IGN: "I found it to be one of the most rewarding games in the genre in years"
..how can I take you serious IGN?

[TheGreatMandalore]

Hahahahha. If you want a TRUE ESO review go watch the Angry joe! IGN we all can see its a sponsored review....
Angry joe pointed out that theres NONE of the presumed social interaction! The raids are painful and the lvling in a group is nearly impossible. Also you cant redo the quest (when helping low lvl friends).

And the prices (42K gold for a horse when you kill a boss and you get 2 gold is a joke)/ collector edition and game crashes are not helping...

[FahrenheitUK]

Seems like Zenimax spent more of their budget bribing IGN than actually developing the game..

[BaconatorOC]

Game looks interesting enough, just paid subscriptions are very unnecessary and Guild Wars 2 proved that.

[Synbious]

7.8? You can tell IGN got paid well to review it at 7.8, I review your review 3/10.

[dovmt]

"Captures the Elder Scrolls feeling" IGN 2014....comon seriously?

[Brionatic]

Finally, a good, professional review on ESO, Also PC Gamer's review was great to. And If you hear people say Angry Joe's review was good, you might as well get your information from People Magazine because he was impatient, immature and hasty with his "review." 

[theeptheeperson]

Dear Bethesda, we wished of a Skyrim single player experience with the ability to play with a group of friends; not a game that is developed by another company, plus it's shit! So please in the next elder scrolls installment give the player the ability to invite his friends into his single player game.

After watching Angry Joe's review I'm staying far away from this until it goes free to play. 

[Ubi-o]

this could use a re review... this game has come a long way

[cheezfried]

Can't believe it started off so buggy, now the game is completely flawless

[ADucksOpinion]

I got this game for $40... with  1 month free.. so its like $40 to play it for 1 month, i dont think its a bad deal.. i dont think ill pay $15 to keep playing tho..

[jako]

People complaining about paying 15 dollars a month is beyond me.. its not that much. If you complain about 15 a month than honestly you shouldn't even be gaming at all.

Yall keep saying F2P is the best model yet fail to realize that WoW ( World of Warcraft) has the most users (8 million) paying 15 a month. F2P is shit. P2P is the better Model. only Game I consider a good F2P game is LOTR

Terrible review as always, 7.8? yeah good joke, this is why i cant take IGN seriously because they're full of shit, I guess Angry Joe is like the only reviewer we can trust these days, im sure there's others but IGN certainly isn't one of them.
