That's an awfully pessimistic title for ShackNews.
I'm still praying that this turns out good. Pleeeaaasseeee.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;36288612]That's an awfully pessimistic title for ShackNews.[/QUOTE] I don't think I've ever seen them this blunt before about their negative opinions
Oh hey, a Ayleid doorframe thing.
isn't this supposed to have WoW style gameplay instead of elder scrolls style gameplay no thanks
Ehh, no.
Man, They didn't even make it to release before disappointing everyone.
Yeah, I'm not going to pay for another WoW clone. The Elder Scrolls doesn't have an interesting enough story to keep me interested. The combat, immersiveness and freeroam in the Elder Scrolls games is what made the series good.

This can be really good if done right
[url=http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/06/11/interview-zenimax-defends-elder-scrolls-online]RPS[/url] has a great interview about this. From what I've seen, this doesn't look any good at all.
[QUOTE=Wormy;36289114]Well, Guild Wars 2 looks good.[/QUOTE] I'm excited for it too after the beta but I swear this is said in every MMO-related thread. I've even been seeing it in non-MMO threads.

On one hand I was really addicted to it but on the other, I didn't want to play too much and spoil stuff.
All i wanted was Skyrim style gameplay with coop.........and instead i get this shite.
This really isn't a big surprise.
It doesn't look that bad.
I totally saw this coming.
[QUOTE=Banshee FrieNd;36290252]It doesn't look that bad.[/QUOTE] it doesn't look that good either. just another generic fantasy mmo.
Best thing about this game is that maybe elves won't look buttfuck ugly anymore

I feel like this game is gonna be crazy boring. There's even only 6 ability slots. [editline]11th June 2012[/editline] which includes your primary and alternate weapon attack
[QUOTE=Jund;36293330]Best thing about this game is that maybe elves won't look buttfuck ugly anymore[/QUOTE] That's half of what makes Elder Scrolls good to me. I hate it when Elves are just the sexy characters.
[QUOTE=Wormy;36289114]Well, Guild Wars 2 looks good.[/QUOTE] Guild Wars isn't the same though... You don't have to pay to play (other than the initial purchase) and that's why conventional MMOs have so much riding on them. You have to make an AMAZING game to make people pay $15 a month to keep playing. When you have an MMO-like game that isn't quite persistent MMO outside of towns then it isn't as big a deal.

There was a viddoc about how paying monthly is now ridiculous.

Holy shit, this is a travesty... the guy in the interview is like a typecast businessman, he can't come up with one solid satisfying answer on why the game is any good, it just reeks of "well fuck, this game is screwed".

How can you call it elder scrolls if you don't have the option for first person combat? That's one of the things that makes the series so unique. If the next regular game was third-person only I probably wouldn't buy it, and I certainly won't be playing this if it's just WoW in Tamriel.
