✭✭✭✭✭I'd never even heard of Angry Joe before he did his bad preview of ESO during beta. Surely he isn't famous enough to warrant multiple threads...----

KidKablam✭✭✭When it comes to online reviews of video games they're so erratic that you just pick the one you agree with and that's the one that matters.0 -
Chryos✭✭✭✭This is one guys stupid opinion. He certainly doesent speak for me nor everyone else.If I am going to quote someone, it's going to be me.1 -
Chryos✭✭✭✭Well ok his opinion isn't stupid, but how he presents himself is.If I am going to quote someone, it's going to be me.0

Chryos✭✭✭✭Give the game time to get the dupers/botters fixed then they can work on stuff like player housing. You cant put out everything on the first day can you? At some point they have to start making money on the product so the employees can eat. Angry Joe expects a 10 year old polished MMO out on the first day.If I am going to quote someone, it's going to be me.0

✭✭✭✭✭Angry Joe is really one of the better critics out there. He tells it like it is.
Which is usually code for, "He's an arrogant little man with an inferiority complex that's only matched by his extremely annoying voice. He's the comic book guy from The Simpsons made flesh. He represents the absolute worst of the 'hardcore' gaming community, and he should be liberally ignored by anyone with half a brain."----

Texture
And quest bugs
Crashing
phasing issues making grouping hard
the bots around boss spawns
the gold drops from mobs
So what was a stupid opinion?
Texture- What?
Quest bugs- Mostly fixed by the time he put this review out, and none of them were gamebreaking. He's an idiot for expecting an MMO at launch to not have bugs.
Crashing- Most people aren't experiencing crashing issues, and again: huge idiot.
Phasing issues- Mostly fixed, but all it's really preventing is grouping with people to do content you've already cleared.
Bots- Every MMO has bots. It's a ridiculous complaint, and he should give every MMO on the market a 5/10 if he's going to grade them on whether or not the developers are miracle-workers.
Gold drops- Is this an issue? Who, aside from this moron, has complained?Edited by nerevarine1138 on April 22, 2014 1:39PM----

Fanboyish nonsense. Listen to what he talks about with an open mind, he does excellent reviews.
ESO is not going to be a long term success and I think pretty much anyone with experience in the genre knows this. It's simply not a good mmo and it's even a step backwards for the series as a single player game.

Turial✭✭✭@nerevarine1138 AJ is one of the really bad reviewers out there that has an incredibly worse audience. There are good reviewers out there like Yahtzee (Zero Punctuation) who actually go into real rants and actually explain what is wrong with the game AND ACTUALLY give some ideas on how the game could be fixed and strengthened.
Sadly people are for some unfathomable reason drawn to 'Not-angry-at-all Joe' and take it as a word of God but oh well, life goes on."Neither a 'Borrower nor a Lender' be."

You just said you didn't know who he was. Now you are going to tell us all about him?
I realize being a fanboy for a mediocre game is frustrating, but you're just floundering here. ESO is mediocre, sorry.Edited by Gohlar on April 22, 2014 1:44PM0 -

✭Even though he points out some legitimate issues, there are so many things that he was factually inaccurate about that it makes the whole thing meaningless. But the bandwagon haters will still jump on.0 -

I've seen how you post. There is simply no other word for it. Every mmo has it's share of people who decide they will like the game no matter what, you're one of them for ESO.
Honestly though, you're in for a rough ride.

dagnome✭✭✭Did I mention how much I hate reviews in the past, and the sheep that blindly follow the opinions of reviews? This is one man's opinion and many of these reviewers will give games bad review's simply to create controversy and so their sheepish followers give them free advertising. Just like a TV personality, this guy has a persona to keep up and with ESO being a "Hot" release of 2014 having a "bad" review about it will generate conversation and increase his views/subscribers.
You want an honest review? I challenge you to go play a game before you read and watch reviews so you go into the game with a unbiased opinion.FanFiction

Fina✭✭✭My first time to hear of this...person.
While he makes some good points he makes them in the absolutely most horrible, immature, and unconvincing ways.
Way too much unnecessary cursing. Way too much rage over insignificant things. Blown way out of proportion. Laughing uncontrollably about every little thing.
Is this a review, a rant, or a comedy routine?
I don't disagree with everything he said. Some of it is true and it's annoying for players. But he is really going overboard. I think he needs to get his emotions under control. He was spazzing out of not receiving 2 gold.

I think the comparison is apt though. Yahtzee, too, is an entertainer first. I love his bits but would never use one of them to determine if I want to purchase a game or not (the best ones are the ones he does for games I love where he wrecks them, because it's funny).
None of these guys are objective news journalists, much in the same way Bill O'Reilly isn't, either.0 -
Gohlar✭✭✭✭You want an honest review? I challenge you to go play a game before you read and watch reviews so you go into the game with a unbiased opinion.
I was very excited for this game. Ended up extremely disappointed with the heavy solo focus and bland theme park design. I mean trying to play with friends is tedious with the way quests work and Zenimax removed exp from the multiplayer parts. The questing has an occasional good story but for the most part is just more generic stuff.
This is a step backwards as a TES game and a very weak mmo. If you really are unbiased you should be able to see it's a poor multiplayer game and a rather mundane single player one.
