Polygon reviews ESO. 6.0

RaZaddha✭✭✭It was ok until he started talking about dungeons, then I was always thinking "what are you talking about?". Meh, rather shallow review.5 -
Worstluck✭✭✭✭✭Personally I've always felt that mmo's should be reviewed sometime after launch, at least after the first content patch or two. History has shown us that at launch most mmo's have issues (I know some have had few issues if none at all). Maybe some of these issues are worse in ESO, but to me it's still a fun game, and despite a lot of crying on the forums, they appear to be trying to fix the problems. Yeah there are some immersion breaking quests, but many quest lines have been great...
With that said, I don't agree with the review, but it's his opinion.
Worstluck - Breton Nightblade "Some of us refused to bow. We knew the old ways would lead us back to having a kingdom of our own."
―Madanach
Elfluck - Dunmer Dragonknight "When I will walk the earth again, the Faithful among you shall receive your reward: to be set above all other mortals forever. As for the rest: the weak shall be winnowed: the timid shall be cast down: the mighty shall tremble at my feet and pray for pardon."
―Mehrunes Dagon
Deadluck -Imperial Templar "Men are but flesh and blood. They know their doom, but not the hour"
―Uriel Septim

bigw925_ESO✭✭I've actually heard and seen a lot of people giving bad reviews of ESO. I must be missing something because I am really happy with and enjoying the game. I have seen a lot of bugs, but unfortunately most MMOs launch with a lot of bugs. So I guess I've come to expect it as the norm. Compared to most mmo launches this one went pretty smooth. Its crazy though because I hear over and over again how this game is just another wow clone but then those same reviewers gush over how great the warlords of dreanor is going to be.@asmodeos NA PC6 -

I would not care about the bugs, if some of them did not break classes, and if there was not DK vampires able to tank 30+ people in pvp. Or if the Dupe that got reported in the beta got fix before release.
This game is a prime example of what not to do. Rushing a game out before wildstar when it was not ready.2 -

Hear, hear.
Honestly I just think that it has become standard to call every new MMO that comes out a WoW clone & be generally negative about it by default.
There are many WoW clones out there sure but now I think that its just the default reaction.
Kinda like how every top-down action RPG is a "Diablo clone".
I wonna slap people when they say that about Path Of Exile.
Give it enough time & every collectable card game will be a "Hearthstone clone".

A super genetically enhanced clone and one of the best games in recent years .
Anyway most people apparently hate TESO because It's not a true TES game . Unfortunately some of us weren't invited at the meeting where it was determined what a true TES game is. So we are just content to play this false TES game just like WOW players play that false Warcraft game for the last decade.Those guys destroyed my favorite game series. I am still annoyed when I think about it so I am having fun in this game just to destroy the legacy of TES.

I think it's kinda the "cool" thing to do right now as far as bashing ESO goes. It also seems like in general the journalist side of things will review MMOs fairly poorly based on.. well them being MMOs. Kinda like how a lot of RPGs that are turn-based style get bad reviews for not adding enough to the combat and such. The places where I've seen user reviews ESO tends to hang around an average of 7.4ish, sometimes higher, sometimes lower. Users though, seem to be giving it a higher rating than most of the professional places.Fisher extraordinaire!

Lazarus_Long✭✭✭I thinks it's funny that the OP keeps posting these review threads. It's not like we need them since we all play the game and have our own opinions. Also, they don't add much to the sense of community in the forums. ZOS has given us all access to /feedback in game so we can tell them directly what we think. We don't need to "+1" someone else's review for them to know.
Someone can say "That X sucks!" or "That X is great!" and tell me why, but it won't change what I think about X until I try it for myself. Anyone who would let their own opinions be swayed by such tactics must not think about things much before they form those opinions.
Anyway I just thought I 'd share that, kthanxbye.Edited by Lazarus_Long on April 26, 2014 8:59AMThe List For Living - A guide for new or troubled players

Man you guys think they give the game a 6.0 or 7 because of the bugs? you a fool? its because this game is simplistic and a reductionist within the ELDER SCROLLS series. thats why. if you dont understand then enjoy your average game.
Its not that I dislike the game I dont, I try hard to like this game as much as I did morrowind oblivion and skyrim but as i said..reductionism.

One thing I have noticed about user review is that they are largely divided. You only see 10 9 8 and ,3,2,1,0 without any average grades. This implies that most that do not like this game are rather emotional and are certainly not trying to be rational when reviewing it. I agree with many of the issues that are brought up but I can't understand how anybody that actually played the game go below a 6 when considering all aspects of the game.
Fortunately I see much more people being positive so I am not very concerned about the future of this game.bigw925_ESO wrote: »I've actually heard and seen a lot of people giving bad reviews of ESO.

I don't think they gave this game a 6 or 7 because of bugs. I think they gave it a 6 or 7 because it is an MMO. in 1 of the reviews they didn't even mention the bugs. They basically said "I tried the elder scrolls online this weekend. I played about 20 minutes, its an MMO." They then went to to explain that its just like every other MMO but didn't give any real examples as why they rated it bad.
I don't see it as reducing the Elder Scrolls series at all because I don't see it as part of the Elder Scrolls Series. It is not meant to be. They are currently working on the next part of the Elder Scrolls Series. It will be Elder Scrolls 6. This is an MMO that takes place in the Elder scrolls world. I didn't come into this game thinking that it was anything more.

Belittling trolls when they start calling people fools for no good reasons while they themselves can't put together two coherent sentences? No, I can't find any problem with that. I have read his post in the full context. It is rude ,pretentious, inaccurate, and ultimately dumb. Getting further ? Where ? I am comfortable where I am. Thank you very much.
No, they are not at all rational when they give this game anything bellow 4. I know this because I have read some of their review comments. It is always anger, nerd rage or repeating some stupid BS their personal favorite youtube gaming Messiah said in some video.
Yes, I agree that the game probably doesn't earn a 10 , 9 or even an 8 but the people that give those grades are just expressing personal preferences and do not go on mindless crusades again anyone that dislikes the game. They also do not go on long tirades about how Zenimas betrayed them, how the devs are complete idiots who destroyed the TES legacy , how THEY DESERVE better and how the fanbois stole their sweetroll and molested their pets.

Csub✭✭✭✭✭I bet Wowst... I mean Wildstar will have higher points since generic mmos always seem to get more.
As for community points, many of the people who write negative stuff either states it is because this is game is too much of a WoW clone (I still don't get why, though... Because you can create a character in both games?) or because this game is too much not if a WoW clone so some of their favourite features or convenient stuffs are missing from ESO.
Same goes for the criticism about the single player/mmo mix question, people rage because this game is too much focused on solo, others do it because they see people around them. Some say this game tries to focus on both but fails, I think exactly the opposite of it.
Of course not all games are for everyone but ranting about it won't help, just move on already. I know some are trying to like it and keep giving a chance, this is not for them, but then again, if you have to force to like it, it is probably not a good start. That being said, I had the same with Oblivion, my first TES game, took me a good 5 or so attempt to get sucked in but since then....
Anyway, I keep telling people that judging purely by reviews is plain stupid, you should see it for yourself and decide if you like it or not. Not just with ESO, in general.Edited by Csub on April 28, 2014 1:26AM"The Divines gave you a nose for a reason, Tharn. So you can keep your mouth shut and still keep breathing. - Lyris Titanborn4 -

I would not care about the bugs, if some of them did not break classes, and if there was not DK vampires able to tank 30+ people in pvp. Or if the Dupe that got reported in the beta got fix before release.
This game is a prime example of what not to do. Rushing a game out before wildstar when it was not ready.
Especially considering that Wildstar is a complete joke of a game.

Man you guys think they give the game a 6.0 or 7 because of the bugs? you a fool? its because this game is simplistic and a reductionist within the ELDER SCROLLS series. thats why. if you dont understand then enjoy your average game.
Its not that I dislike the game I dont, I try hard to like this game as much as I did morrowind oblivion and skyrim but as i said..reductionism.
Thanks, I am enjoying the game immensely, and view it far above average. I could care less what a bunch of journalists think.
