gamrReview's Nick Pantazis: "I can't say I found myself impressed with The Elder Scrolls Online. While the bugs are probably fixable, the game lacks character and straddles an awkward middle ground between traditional MMOs and Elder Scrolls games without doing either style of game particularly well."
During a panel at GDC 2024, Elder Scrolls Online Game Director Matt Firor noted that the MMO has generated a staggering amount of player spending over its decade of operation—almost $2 billion.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
The Elder Scrolls Online has accumulated over 24 million players over the years. The RPG hit the milestone on its 10th anniversary.
For what i have seen, this looks rubbish and waste of money and time
Yes let's trash talk a game that's been almost 7 years in development and is still currently in beta lol.
I for one am super excited for this game, if you actually do some research as to what Zenimax Studios has planned, this game has the potential to be amazing. Wait until it comes out before giving a clearly biased review on it.
Hm that was my fear when I heard about this. You can't have the type of hyper-focus that trademarks Elder Scrolls in an MMO setting. Also, as a fan of Todd Howard and his team and their games, I am not keen on visiting parts of Tamriel developed by another team--it effects the integrity of the overall vision (much like 343's mishandling of Bungie's baby). Then again I hate mmorpgs...so I guess it wasn't for me to begin with. Single Player Campaigns, and their worlds, are unrivalled in depth and immersion. I think this author is like me lol
This person obviously played the game for no longer than 30 minutes and has absolutely no idea on what he's talking about.
it is a RUBBISH game plane and simple
