✭✭✭✭✭Isn't Gamespot that company which actually got called out for selling good reviews?
Yeah. I haven't read any of their stuff in a while.----

You may want to link to the critical reviews instead of the rantings of a bunch of slack-jawed random people who probably didn't play after beta:

The critic score gives a better idea...user scores for love-it-or-hate-it games tend to be...divided. Too many people don't know how to rate something.
The critic score, however, is 75%. Which seems fair to me.
The prevalence of bugs and "immersion breaking events" are enough to justify a score like that. Puts it on par with Neverwinter, which is very similar but lacks the overt bugs (instead just having flat content)
I'm also personally not a fan of trusting game reviews of freshly launched MMOs. It's actually the reason why a lot of review sites re-review MMOs after sufficient time has passed. What used to be a bug filled mess can turn into an awesome romp.
And vice versa.0 -

no, i want to post the PLAYERS oppinions, not the game magazins. Because that is the one that counts. and for every rant you have a fanboy giving it an undeserved 10/10, so the score of more that 1200 people on average is more than just 'people ranting'. A user score of 6.3 means that the PLAYERS think that game is barely above average.

Problem is, as many others stated before in other threads, people are more likely to complain online or register just to complain than those who praise or write in positive attitude. Besides, user score is the most subjective stuff you can expect. "OH NO THIS GAME HAS NO AH/NAMEPLATES/POWERLEVELING/WHATEVER, IT TRULY DESERVES A 1"
Many "reviewers" I bet never even played it."The Divines gave you a nose for a reason, Tharn. So you can keep your mouth shut and still keep breathing. - Lyris Titanborn1 -
grizzbi✭✭✭I think it's a fair review. The social part is lacking. But I would say that voice acting is ok. After a few area, quests tend to be repetitive and sometimes really uninspired.
I would add that the game is not very challenging.
Character development doesn't have enough incidence on how you feel and how you play. You can do whatever you want too easily. You don't have to plan anything. You can't do any mistake. Even if I invested all my points into magicka, I can suddenly decide to use a big axe with good result and no real drawback . In any real good and balanced RPG, your choices matter. Here, it looks like it's mostly cosmetic. There could have been much more depth and diversity.
6/10 is fair. The game can be improved. But as it is now, it's a bit dull.
I still want to stick with the game because I love its world. But for how long?1 -
spawn10459✭✭✭i though the review was good. at the core this game is good but has a ton of problems.2 -

That is what gets me.
I dont usually notice this kind of thing , but some of them are really different and abrupt.
And once , the voice selection made no sense , i think everyone that played AD will agree that a tree should NOT sound like that lols.
In my feedback I called the tree rather "milk toast", no disrespect to the actor.

You mean my successful sociological experiment on hypocrisy? Yeah it went well, all the usual suspects showed up and proved my points:
1) if you tell people this is the help section they'll tell you that there is no general. If you post some off topic nonsense they don't like, they'll say you are off topic and this is the help section
2) they'll post heaps of rants where they want to warn other people NOT to buy the game, to 'save' them. If you post a warning that maybe there are weird people in the internet gaming community, you are a troll
Again, thanks for your active participation0 -
Dunhilda✭✭✭And this guy actually gave SWTOR a 8...it's obviously a biased review, he prefers themeparks.....and the guy didn't even use the words veteran ranks or endgame in his "review". Crap review from a crap reviewer is all ill say. I wonder what level he got to...probably was too busy thinking about wow to care about the story etc..
Sorry from what I know Veteran rank is simply questing in other faction zones?
And what the hell is ESO endgame? I have no idea at this point, you see Molag bal was killed during a quest I always thought he was endgame boss
Please tell me the endgame.

No stoop lol. It's click bait, you will see more and more poor reviews on new game and electronic releases. For the click factor period.
http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/the-elder-scrolls-online/critic-reviews?sort-by=most-clicked&num_items=100
Top clicks are 99% negative reviews, it's the new "thing". Bloggers looking to provoke = clicks = cash. These "reviewers" are just that weirdo next door, they are by no means journalist and it would be insulting, but bloggers are getting good at click bait.3 -
Evanis✭✭✭Have to agree, public dungeons and public just about everything completely ruin immersion, I got a quest that put me in a cell, won't say which so as not to spoil anything' and when I spawned there were other players IN THE SAME CELL as me.
I hear you 100%. Instead of an MMO, TES 6 with multiplayer capability would have been absolutely spectacular and everyone would have been happy; the soloists and the groupers. In its current state, players complete each part of a quest independent of each other, anyway. ESO is really a one player game in a persistent world with other players, which is the most oddball game formula I have ever experienced. Also, public dungeons need a second look as they are a complete faceroll. I almost always stroll right through a dungeon devoid of enemies, collect my skyshard, and exit an empty dungeon uncontested. Not exactly what I would call high adventure...0 -
WyeVxndzz✭✭✭
This is the only aspect I really cannot stand in this game. I like to take my time, but i cannot because when questing other people rush through and complete my quest for me.
A THOUSAND TIMES THIS^
I'm so frikken frustrated by picking up a quest, tromping across the zone wondering what I'm going to do, and then just because I'm in some random proximity that I can't see or predict - seeing that damn completion message flutter up the top of the screen and vanish.
- Also, it SUCKS that I can't bring BACK text to see what just happened on my behalf. I'm riding, the text flashes, I stop to see what I've lost or missed, draw aggro from some stupid rando mob, by the time combat is over my entire feeling is frustrated rage. The game shouldn't be like that.

When you're feeling under pressure, do something different. Roll up your sleeves, or eat an orange.
Be on the look out for things that make you laugh. If you see nothing worth laughing at, pretend you see it, then laugh.0 -

The same author did rate SWTOR with 8/10 in 2012.
All you can see is that such reviews from magazines are bogus and have no value, just personal opinions mixed with marketing manipulations.

It's not about thinking for themselfs , it's about expressing ones feeling about the game but lacking the communication skills to express themselfs without beeing flamed in a random topic.(these forums..) Like your doing right now.
Most people have their opinion about the game , but posting ones opinion on these forums is terrible. So that's why they post a reviewer since they focus on the reviewer and not on the poster.
Anyway I like the score gamespot is giving, to bad this will probably means ESO is going to die before they can fix their own game.
Only a few options for the Devs but i think they'll milk this game for whatever it's worth.
Sorry Athise, but if you believe this game is going to die before the developers sort out the majority of the issues it does have, you are deluded, my friend. This game has not been out for even a month yet, and people like you write it off. You will end up with egg on your face. All the problems this game have, are solvable, including the single player game not meshing with the multi-player grouped game. I completely agree with the reviewer at game-spot for the huge majority of things the reviewer said, but not with that. I don't believe that major issue can not be solved, such as you and that reviewer seem to think. This game can be like skyrim, and other ES titles, and be the best of what mmo's can offer, at the same time, without game breaking issues. It just requires work and patience. If you lack the patience and want it all as you feel it should be in your head...maybe you should just go now. This game has been out for 21 days. How about you give it like a year or so, before you see it as a failure. I am so sick of peoples cynicism. Do you really think they would have been working on this since Oblivion simply for it to be a cash cow? No, they want it to work, they want it to be the vision they had when designing it. Try to have faith they can make it work because if they do that, this will be an amazing game.

Selstad✭✭✭✭Phasing is a problem in WoW as well, yet not one review mention this as a problem. Combat in WoW is also very limited as you only stand and press a few keys. Also the quests in WoW are boring and repetitive, as well as having the phasing problems, not in term of choice, but whether or not you've done a lead to or follow up to that quest.
Yet WoW is praised and given grand reviews as "The standard" in MMOs. I guess that the company's name as well as how much they pay the major reviewers have a major impact to the score. So next time Zenimax, budget in some oiling of major reviews around the web, else this is the results.

imperial✭Must say I like the fact that I see other people doing the same quests and killing the same bosses as me adds realism to the game imo. In the single player games I missed people being there and it made me feel lonely, however it is annoying how many people are breaking and entering and getting away with it, lazy city guards. It would be nice to be the only criminal in the town but hay ***. At the end of the day great game1
