Game sucks, total waste of money, waste of time.

[Jacob]

You read the title. I really love the elderscrolls trilogy of games but this is just pathetic, it sucks.

[Jack Westwood]

The game doesn't suck. It is basically WOW with better graphics and gameplay. If it's not your type of game then you are a fool to have bought it.....there are many videos and places (Twitch) where you can watch it being played before making the purchase.

I would like to amend the motion to add this game to the suck category by changing the category to "absolutely terrible waste of money". This game is full of horrendous suck.

False. It's dumb reviews like these that didn't get me into the game until recently. Never listen to this. This game is basically a mix between Elder Scrolls (mostly Skyrim features) and MMO features. If you ONLY like Elder Scrolls games and do NOT like MMOs, then you will not like this game. You need to be into traditional MMOs and Elder Scrolls lore/features to enjoy this.

This puts me right in that category.

This.
People are either expecting another copy/paste of Skyrim or another WoW-clone. ESO is neither of these.

If I don' t like a game I don't even talk about it on forums. This would be a waste of time for sure...

I'm just doing my part for the people who are curious and may consider purchasing this game in the future, by sharing my feelings about the game it may ward people off. It didn't go from 15k people playing on Steam down to 543 because it's a "good" game that's for sure.

If it went on a 99% discount it's still a gigantic waste of money. In fact, if they paid ME $50 bucks up front and then $15/mo after I would consider playtesting it again for them. As it is, paying for this game to agonize through the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ artwork and terrible netcode is like paying $20/hour to go to a construction site and start working hard labor.....you know....instead of getting paid, because that's how awful this game is....I'd rather commit to shifts of agonizing hard labor than sit through anymore of this crap.

Elderscrolls isn't a trilogy, dumbass

If you want to inform people that much, you should get the right informations and sources.
Steam isn't the only way to play TESO, far from it. Last I read population was around 700k. You don't need 20 millions of sleeping accounts like WoW to be successful. Heck, 543 must be the number of Age of Conan's population I can barely meet any player outside the capitals while in ESO I get the chance to meet players in every corner of each map.
Sure this game isn't perfect and has bugs, but seriously which game hasn't ?

If you don't like the style etc, it's fine, but don't may it look like what you're thinking is a universal truth. It's not and the game is still alive and well, with promising future updates.

made the un-wise choice of buying this game when it was 50% off. bought the imperial edition for about $47. Doesnt even work on my computer. No refunds.

Hello Mr Popo,
can you please create a ticket with out customer support team, so we can investigate and resolve this issue with you?
https://help.elderscrollsonline.com

I had made a help ticket and all the fixes didnt even work. Even though i said i was done i tried downloading it off your website like you told me to. It still didnt work so i was Officially done. Plus i got it around the time it came out so my 1 free month ran out. There is no point in trying now.

The only redeeming part about it is the PVP when there isn't much lag, which is rare. The truth is that I've seen several guilds fall apart because so many people have left the game, and the population is dwindling down. Promising future updates, yes, but as far as that goes those are vaporware and irrelevant until they actually come out. Don't buy a game because of promising future updates, the here and now is all that matters. The here and now is a suck fest.

I could have set fire to 50 bucks and gotten more enjoyment from it.

Again, if you know where to look for information about these updates, you would have known there are already many posts from the developpers and even videos showcasing what will come. Personnally, I didn't bought the game for these updates. I just wanted to try it again after a dissapointing Beta and I don't regret it really. And hearing news from devs themselves is a huge plus to my eyes.

If you knew how MMOs works you should have known also that when it's released the game will lose subs no matter what. Then the population will be stable. I can't count how many times I see new players asking for help in /zone chat.

I haven't tried PvP yet but ESO isn't about PvP only, PvE, quests, exploration and voice acting are good. If you play an MMO just to PvP you're in the wrong genre dude.
MOBAs and FPS games just do it way better with proper balance.

I'm glad I got it in the sale...

[Forward Observations]

love elder scrolls+love mmo=like eso . morrowind is still the best.

[KingPhilipII]

Most MMO's suck.... but as far as MMO's go this one isnt too bad.. just needs to be tweaked a bit more.

[pantheon0918]

lol.. bunch of no life trying to bash the game as hard as they can .. pathetic

[Kyros]

well after a month I can just agree with the OP : the game isn't as engaging as other good MMOs and gets very repetitive and boring despite the variety of quests.

However these quests despite using different NPCs follow the same model :

- you come to a new place
- a ghost/npc says it has been attacked by baddies
- you need to get X item or kill X mob

Most of them are like that, up until lvl 30 (didn't bother to continue I was bored and deleted my sub before Zenimax got the )

There are also quite a lot of issues, but mainly it's the gameplay that gets boring.
I have 1400 hours of played in Skyrim and I'm reinstalling it... lol
