Elder Scrolls Online, is it worth it?

BC · June 08, 2015, 11:50:04 AM

It comes out for Xbox One tommorow, and am considering buying it.

Is it any good? Or should I spend my money and time on another game

Id honestly like to know too. I remember that it sucked ass at releace but I know a lot has happened since then. The question is ''is it any good now that its a one-time-fee game?

Well it depends, do you have friends to play it with?

Wait a few days to see how much different it is and if it's better/worse/just as bad than it was.

Edit: Make sure not to ask a TES fanboy too.

Reason I'm asking now is because if you pre-order you get the freedom to be whatever race you want regardless of faction. That's a pretty good perk

That's good if your friends want to be other races but on your side still.

Plus... You need to be in the same region to play or something, theres no switching iirc

I doubt it is.

Tyger · June 08, 2015, 12:48:16 PM

ive heard nothing but bad things and I REALLY wanted this game to be good. It's got a lot of pretty terrible features, like many quests don't share objectives between people in the same party. So you and your friends will be waiting around for the same 3 rats to spawn over and over so you can each take turns killing them.

Coco · June 08, 2015, 12:58:53 PM

I got it on PC cheap for playing the beta. I'm level 16 or 17, but I've been having a decently good time so far. It's not very fun without friends, though, so make sure you have those, or a guild to join.

It's pretty much Skyrim with a different combat system (one with depth), tons of people, and more stuff scattered around.

I've heard good and bad.

Big Boss · June 08, 2015, 03:13:18 PM

Thinking about getting it

A salt rifle · June 08, 2015, 03:58:35 PM

No.

But that's my opinion about most MMOs.

big sponge · June 08, 2015, 03:59:32 PM

I've heard the game has gotten a lot better since launch.

Jono · June 08, 2015, 04:04:10 PM

Like what LC said, the game had tons of problems when it came out but I have heard that it has gotten better.

I still wouldn't get it though. It doesn't interest me all that much really.

CK97 · June 08, 2015, 05:04:16 PM

I'm wondering the same thing. The only issue is I don't know anyone else on Xbone that will be getting it.

Mattie G Indahouse · June 08, 2015, 05:31:37 PM

If you want to get it wait a month and see what it's like. Chances are it's going to be shit during release. There's no point in getting a game when you're barely able to play it due to problems.

Nick McIntyre · June 08, 2015, 08:38:33 PM

It's better now that you don't have to pay a monthly subscription for the damn game.

It's an alright game, just feels massively overhyped for what if offers. I remember getting annoyed when I joined the Ebonheart Pact because you're thrust back into Skyrim for a good while, which gave off the feeling of "same old, same old" scenery if you spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours in Skyrim like I did.

nosejob · June 08, 2015, 09:07:07 PM

I heard its a lot better. Just go for it. If you like TES I'm sure you'll have fun here.

The Lord Ruler · June 08, 2015, 10:23:06 PM

i may get it if other people get it

from what people have said its more fun to play with friends

Sweet Jesus the last part of the ebonhart pact is so boring cause of that.

I've heard that the Aldmeri dominion has the best storyline, but I never played beyond the ebonhart story.

I've heard mixed reviews, but I'm getting it.
