    i am often wondering about 1 Thing actually... All You People commenting about how bad this game is and what else you dont like in the Game, how it is handled and so on.

    Why dont you just leave? or is anyone forcing you to Play it?
    Just take your hat and leave... actually quite easy Thing to do if you hate and despise the game as much as you state.

    Fanboy Comments incomming! :o

    Yes, i know Quests dont work, Skills dont work like they should and so on, still i am having a blast playing. Encounter a broken Quest? Report and ignore it till it is fixed.
    Dupers screwing you up? ahem, well, they have more resources to spend in game than you now... Are you heading to the next Millionaire and moan about the fact that he got more Money than you? And i "think" those Cheaters are getting banned and their duped items deleted or whatever. Might be wrong, i do not care really...

    You are not contributing anything with your attitude, you just annoy People around you! (meaning the People on the Forums here :o ).
    So man the *** up and leave .. try to find a game you like. Tetris perhaps? isnt it 25years now? Should give it a try... might be cool playing such a Good game

    i remember a video from like 2 months ago saying wauw ESO rocks. Guess what this is wut you get when you make reviews of an unfinished game you will get dissapointed when it comes out.

    The graphic point==>evryone that played oblivion in the days knows better i think,i choose content over graphics any day if you dont well you should go work at EA they like to make there game *NICE* not *GOOD*

    and why does the biggest point get neglected or better said put beside,the dupe glitch who cares right http://pastebin.com/dkx2cRDj Wipe all plzz
    That original video of his was one of the reasons I decided to buy the game. It was one of the few positive reviews of the beta in which I was to busy to participate. I can't even begin to comprehend the amount of BS he spews in this new video.

    I personally don't like AJ that much. But the video is actually constructive and mostly to the point just skip the first minute. HE IS right! And I started realizing how this game is a money grab and I am not even talking about real money I am talking about in game money. Anyway all the issues he touches upon are true.
    The main flaw is that the game is empty and has no feel of combined effort for a better experience (play with others). So yeah thank you for a good coast ride ZOS but it starts to crumble as I reach the first (free) month and I have already cancelled ;)

    No you are trolling, on the new player forums. If you are not here to answer new player questions what could your motives be? You know I personally haven't had any problems. I hope in 5years you look back and realize all this complaining didn't do you any good. Leave if you aren't happy or do you delight in spreading misery? The only minds you will change are those to weak to make up their own.

    Funnily enough, if you watch some of his videos he is usually quite happy.

    But I suppose calling himself "sometimes I get slightly annoyed Joe" is a bit of a mouthful.

    Aliens: Colonial Marines, Ride To Hell: Retribution and Day One: Garry’s Incident.

    I can see that as a true and discerning purchaser of video games who would not dream of reading a review these games will appeal to you.

    Jeez, I have ended up with a lot of utter crap games when reviewers have said they were actually OK without getting ones that 90% say are bad.

    Oh, ps. - I haven't actually got those 3 games. Just thought I had better point that out.

    Well, thank god your 30 days are almost over, so you can go and have a free, happy life!

    So waiting for several hours for an access code isn't an issue or the lag when playing where i end up dead or the loss of sound with the npc's are talking or the falling through the game world, or the animations that work but don't produce any affect on the world around you or the being in a dungeon and the passives stop working (one of my favorites, really helpful to the group when on a boss)

    No none of these are issues at all, you might be having a wonderful problem free experience but for me these are game breaking so yes huge issues, but then again i don't like handing over my hard earned money and then getting asked to bend over for zenimax while they carryon trying to figure out what the problems are.

    So yep going to point out these problems i have experienced so others can hopefully avoid paying a fortune for a game with these problems.

    Coming here to the Forums is just whine / Whine / whine.

    NOONE who is going to get the game will Review anything in (on?) this Forum.
    Know why? Either they want to get it or not... IF you have to ask some almighty Youtube God/Reviewer about your own tastes... well then i might have some bad News for you. Which i am not going to write here :o

    Wow guys, this should not turn out to be flame wars. I believe all of us here want TESO to succeed yes? Joe may present his critics in a more exaggerated way that make some of you dislike him or anything similar but if you could look past that, you may see that he did bring up some valid points.

    Examples

    -Why should Imperial race be included in the $20 bundle instead of have it in game like the rest of the races?

    -The quests aren't really group friendly and kinda defeat the purpose of grouping other than kill some tough bosses

    -Some boss respawns become target of farmers who kill the bosses so fast that it would be hard for others to complete(he showed one example in the video)

    -Some in game animations look clunky

    -Some game breaking bugs(they are being fixed as we speak)

    And so on...

    Furthermore, please don't be quick to judge someone who happen to agree with what Joe's presenting to be claimed as his followers, that's just not right and will likely to invite flame wars like this.

    In summary, this game needs work and I believe with our help, Zenimax could improve this game better :)

    Thanks

    "fanboys" is the point where one should stop bothering reading and forget what they read that far. It is like "but", you can write anything you want but as soon as "but" appears, what you wrote before becomes meaningless. Except "fanboys" renders the following stuff meaningless too.

    He brings up certain points that we are all aware of but he responds to them like a 5 year old who can't understand their homework and blames the teacher. There are certain things in the game that are being worked on but AJ is too self-absorbed as a reviewer to respond to them logically.

    The thing is that many players here seem to forget that he makes those videos like that for a reason. Even good games get shred upon and he brings all the negativity from the game and puts them in these reviews accompanied with few of the very good points of the games.

    The reason behind this is not to be incredibly objective, but to bring forth all the issues there are so that the company can see what points they need to pay attention to. All the good things he left out, well they are good enough or that is what I like to think.

    Yes, there are some misguided and outdated information there, but you have to give them proper attention levels. It doesn't mean that just because you happen to like the game and because not all the points being made are 100% that it somehow invalidates what he is saying.

    But of course there will be fanboys, there always will be and that is fine, but know this that professionals in the industry have been interviewed about who are their best fans and their best fans are those that are constructive. Say good and bad about the game and try their best to help the developers.

    The worst are the ones that do not give any insight about the game other than it is perfect. You can't grab onto that, you can not fix something if you don't know it is broken.

    No, the worst are the ones that will whine day after day over some obsession of his/hers or about some facet of the gameplay without giving any constructive criticism.

    Sorry but "big pile of crap" or "buggy mess and clunky" aren't constructive, just saying.

    At the end of the day, someone who believes that a game company is going to work better and faster if you keep on whining on the same issues and insulting anyone who doesn't agree, needs to see a doctor

    No, you are right, I haven't had any of those issues. Guess being you must be hard. Being me is super awesome. Now, your REAL problems seem to be attitude related, maybe immaturity, who knows, but your reaction and the petty 'revenge' of trolling the forum to scare potential customers away, well that's way beyond pathetic, sorry

    Of course you are absolutely right i bow to your infinite wisdom of blindly allowing ppl to spend money on a game that has these issues just because you think that either these problems aren't affecting ppl or that you are truly so blinded by the fact it's an Eso game that no matter what problems ppl point out it's far easier to make snide comments about these issues.

    That is what is truly pathetic.
