I hear so much negativity about this game (much of it unjustified imho), that I thought I'd check the other end of the scale. Who loves ESO?!

    My favorite game of all time:
    Fallout 1
    Fallout 2
    Baldurs Gate 1/2
    Planscape Torment
    Arcanum of Steamworks of Magick Obscura
    Warcraft 1/2
    Starcraft
    KOTOR1/2
    Dragon Age origins
    Mass Effect series
    Witcher Series.

    Yep they are all The One.

    No. None of the TES games comes even close to being The One.

    Favorite MMO yes .I have at least 3 times as many hours played in TESO than any other MMO I have played.

    Ive played ESO longest than any other MMO, and let me say Ive played a ton of them (My last record was Rift, 15 month subbed and I played Planetside 1 about a year.) I suppose that tells something and I dont plan leaving, Thief and Dark Brotherhood DLC's sounds awesome. Also if housing is something cool like Castles with some multiple upgrade/extension possibilities, I might stay even longer, but if its some simple cottage that aint gonna do it for me. Mounted-combat or sea-combat I might even stay longer.

    I quite like ESO, I'm enjoying it more than I did Skyrim, Oblivion or Morrowind.

    Naturally it isn't better on all aspects, but being able to play with other players just improve the experience by a whole lot.

    Well that depends, if you go by the amount of hours played,,,,, Then Yes, by far.

    But if I go by first impressions (which made the biggest impact and shaped what I like), I would have to go for Unreal Tournament.

    I still judge games by the feeling I got when I first played that game.


    Absolute funnest game of all time by me would have to be Blood by Monolith. Such evil humor >:)

    I enjoy it more than Skyrim and Oblivion. But not quite as much as Morrowind.

    Favourite game ever? No. But I've been playing it for two years in January including beta. And likely will until the servers shut down.

    UO, EQ, and DAOC all had their moments in those first 6 years I played MMOs where I was so deeply hooked, and just in sheer awe of the game itself.

    Eve online came close for awhile.

    Single player? Xcom and Civ stand out. Morrowind was my favorite RPG.

    ESO is like the "best of the rest"; there were some times in early Cyrodiil that stand out, but the overall lack of risk/consequences in the rest of the world makes PvE forgettable IMO. No housing, no epic mobs to camp for rare drops, there just nothing in PvE but easy treadmills for the most part.

    I know. That game was a messy, masterpiece on many levels. I still do a playtrough of it, every 2 years or so.

    In its day, EQ probably had the biggest impact on me because it was so different to everything that had gone before since I started gaming in 1983.

    However, for me ESO stands head and shoulders above any other modern game at the moment, although I am enjoying Fallout 4 very much. I have been playing ESO as my main MMO since PC launch and it has run flawlessly all the time as well as providing a huge amount of entertainment, although I have no interest in the PvP side of things.

    I think it has the potential to be my favourite game of all time, after hearing what's coming for ESO. If I had a version of ESO now that included all that's been announced (and confirmed to be in the making) such as Housing, Spellcrafting, PvP Arenas/Battlegrounds, Murkmire, Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild, barber shop, Gold Coast, Clockwork City, Mephala's Realm, etc. then it would be close to becoming my favourite game of all time.

    But then again... This will all probably be in the game by Q4 2017 at the earliest.

    Not my favorite game of all time, but definitely the one I invested the most time/energy/money into, with no regrets... Simply put I love this game, and it makes it to my top 5... Just not number 1
  • elias.stormneb18_ESO
    For me it's a tie between this game and Morrowind. But in the end I have to choose Morrowind, because Michael Kirkbride.

    I spend too much time thinking "why can't I do this?" or "why doesn't ESO have that?" To regard ESO as my favorite game.

    I hope someday it'll grow to be though.

    I only play ESO at the moment. I like this game too.

    The another game I played as long as ESO is TES 4.
    I don't finished TES 3 or TES 5.

    Exactly my thoughts! It didn't grab me as much as I thought it would the first time around. The second time around I'm enjoying it much more. If it continues to grow in content like I think it will, my stay will be a long one. I'm in agreement with others that it is one of the better games out there on the market right now.

    I do have to say that the F2P transition was a great move. That drew me back and after playing it for a bit, I decided to sub.

    Favourite MMO for sure, yes. I've had a better experience playing ESO than any other MMO I've played since the original EverQuest 15 years ago.

    Favourite game of all time... hmm I dunno. It probably is, but that's a tough question to answer with all the different genres of games and the history of games. ESO is favourite game in recent years, by far.

    I have to say it's second in line, with Skyrim being in third, my all time fave is a Steam/PC title called Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere Of Influence. Nobunaga's Ambition is also on PS3 & PS4, sadly no Xbox version. However if I didn't have such a big thing for Samurai ESOTU would be #1.

    Yes it certainly is. I remember walking around Ash mountain, about to activate a levitate spell thinking, "if others joined me in this world it would be great." thirteen years later, this is what it is.
    It's true that there are aspects I would like to change, yet that statement may be said for every Alternate Universe(game) have ever experienced.
    Dragon age was a watered down version that was a time filler before this was attainable.
    Mass effect is my gun universe.
    And star wars is my harnessing ones inner RA/Chi/Qi/Spirit/Mana Universe.
    Tamriel Unlimited is my ideal Alternate Universe of choice, #1.
