    I only noticed Force because i randomly saw his stream on Twitch. As for Angryjoe(i've been subbed to him for years) after watching his stream where he skipped through almost every single bit of dialogue and then complained that ESO wasn't making him excited to play, well yeah. I think i'll judge the game based on my own experiences rather than these "professional gamers"

    I've never heard of Force, but I'm not sure why whether or not he is well known is relevant. The video itself rather clearly highlights what appears to be a game-stopping bug. Not, apparently, a game-stopping bug for everyone, but still--why is whether or not Force is popular relevant to the content of the video?


    It is a game breaking bug if not fixed but the op posted

    " All you need now is for TotalBiscuit or Angry Joe etc to get on the case and FTP here we come."

    when called on it every one jumped up saying " How dare you challenge the great and powerful "Force" he has YouTube followers and if he rallies his gang of merry men the game company will bow down to him and take notice"

    (Ok maybe I dramatized it a little for reading pleasure, but that’s how it sounded to me)

    Read back a little and you will see why...the whole bug issue got glanced over for a few posts but break it down for ya:

    1) Some guy named force has a YouTube thing with subscribers (how many who knows I seen a few numbers)

    2) Op is predicting the game will go ftp based on this guy having a hissy over a bug (we all get hissy over bugs at some point)

    3) People point out why his opinion matters more….cause he is on YouTube duh…

    4) People don't understand go back to topic of bug

    5) I made a huge typo in the English grammar and told someone to bite me …

    6) fixed said typo

    7) Made fun of the youtuber (oh wait that was just me)

    8) And yes in the end the bug is horrid and needs fixed very soon but it is not all doom and gloom …It needs fixed it is not a small bug by any means .

    Too many of you are defending some of this stuff.

    Hot fixes and patches should have happen faster. In other games they get ready to do things like this. It was giving in feedback and unless they ignored player feedback they KNEW game breaking bugs was in it before it got release. Hell even some classes skills are bugged still.

    So no matter how great a game is and will be, the fact we have to accept this sub par service at the start is unacceptable.

    The title of this thread doesn't help, so I can't really blame them. But, yeah, people don't seem to be focusing on the problem.

    Some are blaming this Force guy because he abandoned a quest (since you're limited to 25) and that he shouldn't have been expecting a BASIC FUNCTION to work properly on release. It's not like he was jumping around like a lunatic and complaining that he gets stuck in terrain.

    Maybe having someone express their opinions on a thing they love is insulting them in some way?

    I personally never had any problems with the game (other than the client crashes in Cyrodiil) but I'm not going to *** on this Force guy because he expressed his concern on a extremely valid point.

    Of course, the answer to all of this is simple: Zenimax Online will eventually kill the bug. For some folks, how soon they do it will have a huge impact on their gaming experience.

    I bought ESO because of watching Force's videos, so yea, I'd say it sucks to see him getting upset about the game, but he's right. There are problems, and everytime a quest bugs out and I try to google it, I immediately find a post that says "this has been around since Beta xx"

    Interesting. Does he have videos on how to do laundry too? Or when to take out the trash?

    The fact of the matter is. The guy is right, There is no excuse, and this should have been hot fixed like 3 days ago. If they don't have the man power hire it. They should have been better ready for this. The fact it is still going on after many of us reported it shows some thing.

    While I don’t watch them or even care what they think. The whole Journalism aspect can be debated…Video journalism , or even reviews are a form of journalism that is a big debate and although it is bias and an unregulated model when it is not affiliated with a larger company it can still be called journalism to a degree…

    Journalism has all kinds of shades of gray….but I do not think that is the issue here to debate.

    The bug is horrid and game breaking but most likely will get sorted out soon enough. (I have some faith)

    Why his opinion matters over someone else's is another debate… to me personally I find it hilarious that people will watch this guy complain, but someone else post about the same bug in frustration on the forums they will get told in a hot minute to stop complaining it will get fixed.

    I respect what he does in his job but I hold no value in his opinion we all have one.

    Well respected utuber/streamer. Professional game reviewer who has previously given this game LOTS of free advertising etc.

    Professional? Thank you for making me laugh really. Needed it :) Proffesional gamers dont cry about bugs in new game, they know it takes time to fix them.

    Well respected village idiot more likely, with bunch of other jerks blindly following their ''mighty leader''.

    I've watched a few of his videos. They are well done and probably thorough.

    But anyone who judges a game by what a "reviewer" or "critic" says rather than playing it and making their own decision cannot think for themselves.

    I have not watched the video above yet. But "reviewers" and "critics" are, seriously, just people with an opinion. It's that simple.

    Form your own opinions and let nobody tell you what to think.

    I agree. The best reviewer or critic for something is yourself. Because in the end, that's the opinion that's probably going to matter most.

    I love how all the irrelevant people in the forums bash on force.

    The simple fact is , he is well know enough , that he got 350k subs in his channel , he is well know enough , that he was called to the closed beta server and managed to make videos about the veteran ranks before the game was even out, he well know enough , that i bet the devs will fix HIS problems before fixing the problems other threads here got.

    He might not be TB , but he is still somebody in the gaming industry , while i can bet most if not all here are nobody.

    We're not "bashing on force". We're bashing on the idiots who follow force as if he is a deity. That fact that you think he's a "somebody" is quite funny. He's only a "somebody" in your relatively small circle. This is clearly evidenced by the overwhelming majority of gamers who have mentioned that they have no idea who "force" is.

    So again. No one is bashing against force (except a very small number of idiots). We are bashing people like you who hold this guy's opinion above another's, and act as though his clout is so great that he matters more to Zenimax than the voices of thousands of casual gamers who are equally paying their bills.

    When I posted this thread then yes, I suppose in hindsight I should have given it a better title.

    I was never trying to say that any YouTuber had a more valid opinion than anyone else. I was merely trying to point out that if someone who had previously put out tons of contents PRAISING the game was now annoyed with it then that could only be a bad thing.

    Whether you agree or not with people like him is not the point. The game is starting to get bad publicity.

    Now, that may be a good thing as it MAY get CS more on the ball with tickets and we MAY get major bugs like bank wipes etc resolved just that little bit quicker.

    I really don't care what other posters think of me personally. I don't know you and I learned to ignore sticks and stones insults 50 odd years ago in the playround. And before anyone points out, yes I know I have been guilty of name calling, Internet ananomity makes people type things they would never do otherwise. So, unlike some poor kids, I am not going to commit suicide if I get called a few names (incoming flood of troll name calling expected).

    One good thing I can report though is that I have now been promoted to level 3 on this forum which is really exciting. And I have lots if badges as well now. Brings on a nice glowy feeling and totally compensates for bank wipes and stuck on main quest line.
    Yeah, I got a PC. I just don't feel the need to post it's specifications for an ego boost.

    I am sure there is a ton of "somebody's" in the gaming industry and I am happy for them.
    I am not bashing him in anyway. I even stated I respected what he does …

    But what he does mean nothing to me … I just hold no value in his opinion….I prefer to find out and form my own. I don’t need someone else to make it for me.

    If others need to put people on a pedestal and take what they say as fact, which is your right to do so. I just can't do that to someone in a video game. I play the game to have fun and enjoy it. I don't need to turn to someone on a video to tell me if I will or not.

    This in no way is a disrespect to anyone who holds a different opinion than me. In fact that is what makes this world so great we can all form our own thoughts.

    So I am a nobody in a video game lol but I am a nobody who can form her own opinions..:)

    The problem truly IS critical: bugged quests. But listening to Force is like listening to an addict ranting about having not enough crack. he is V6 guys V6!!! All he does is level, so FFS just take a break and do something else. I mean he could just go and php or hang out with ppl (he has friends in the game) but all he cares about is loot and what gives you da best loot LVLZ!!! he is crazy after V10

    That's fine, and perfectly valid. There's nothing wrong with Force or his video.

    Again, the problem was with how the OP insulted everyone here by basically suggesting that Force's opinion was more important than everyone else.

    That's why this thread derailed in the direction it went.

    Lots of people are extremely excited about ESO, and many of them are fed up with show-stopping bugs. Force's opinion isn't more important than theirs simply because he runs a YouTube channel with 350k subscribers.

    That also doesn't mean that Force's opinion isn't important. No one is saying that it isn't.

    We're just saying that the OP insulted everyone here by saying that it was.
