Because clickbait.

How can someone have a job as a video game review and not know what a unidirectional mic is? I kept looking around for a dog in my room.

Main points they make in the video:
- Not enough content to justify being called an expansion. Morrowind is an overpriced DLC - $40 when normally this sort of thing should cost $20.
- Ingame Naryu looks nothing like Naryu in the trailer and is much uglier. Another case of cinematics lying.
- The questing is good.
- Warden is broken op. Obviously this is to get people to buy Morrowind.
- Media get to break NDA but we don't wtf?

The last 2 points are true but they have to do that for obvious business reasons. The other points are cheesy, naryu looks like the trailer one and Morrowind bring to the game a huge amount of content and hours of gameplay.
Reductive review.

Seemed pretty good to me. It actually lightened me up a bit from worrying about my current classes and in stead, focusing on playing a new class in a new zone. I kind of don't want to test it because I want to play and enjoy it at launch.

Always a conflict for me is wanting to know everything I need to know to make as effective of a character as possible and the other side that doesn't want to know anything and just enjoy the ride.

This is a very bad representation of what the video says, so watch the video. The guy literally says that "This is the best content ever added to ESO." And that the "Warden probably feels OP because it is new."

Didn't expect NDA for media to drop after 1 week... interesting.

You should be banned for misrepresenting this review.

It was an overall very positive review. You sir, are a fraud.

No idea what video you watched, but in the one you posted, the host says exactly the opposite.

Citing the video word-by-word: "Yes, the warden is awesome. Yes, there are nerfs to other classes. But I won't go so far as to say warden is suddenly pay to win. Like all new classes in all MMOs he innately feels overpowered because he is new."

Wishful thinking on your part maybe because you so much WANTED to hear what the video didn't say?

Clickbait title.

I don't put any seriousness in most of these reviews.

For all we know this could be some salty elite player with review bias.

I mean, you read people in PTS that have said, without breaking NDA, that it's not at all as bad compared to the complaining posts.

Heard some say Warden doesn't at all feel OP, but at times feels under powered in situations.

So, some will not like, others will, but most will adapt and enjoy some new content.

***Im not in the PTS as I'm a console player and those statements are ones I've read on this forum in the PTS threads.

Agreed.

Everyone needs to remember when things like this come out, before it's a finished product, that changes might be made. Also if this CBT is like any other CBT there could be total wipes on characters when you log back on.

What I'm saying is what that video shows may or may not be what the finished product looks like or how it ends up playing in its final iteration.

ghwaite · April 2017

I find that I generally disagree with MMORPG.com reviews when I play the game, hope this is the case here too.

Araviel2 · April 2017

OP just hears what he wants.
in the conclusion of the Review that said that they think its one of the best mmo releases of this year. that's a freaking great score.

Rohamad_Ali · April 2017

Uh-oh these people aren't too happy with the McRib ...

Much click bait

MissBizz · April 2017

By the way everyone, here's the written article. I'm pretty positive the video is just the article (word for word)

My initial smartass comment aside, you completely misrepresented this review.

This. The reviewer barely said anything listed in the OP's "main points." In fact they seemed to be opposite. Warden being new and fresh so of course he's going to be OP. Naryu looks just the same as she did in the vanilla zones, just without a mask. Also OP when you say "not enough content," did you even listen to the video? The reviewer said that he didn't do much of the content to keep himself from being spoiled. I don't know about you but:

Not completing content =/= No content to do.

Admits the warden class is overpowered but does NOT think it goes far enough to be P2W

If he has to quality a statement with 'not P2W' then it isn't good news.

timidobserver · April 2017

If mmorpg.com can post a review before it even launches, why is the players base under an NDA.

Well he might be relating to the fact the community has gone mental with that as their rallying argument.

grizzledcroc · April 2017

This is inaccurate as hell.

Rozyn · April 2017

LOL I read the article and it seems like a pretty glowing review. When butthurt distorts a positive review into a damning one, you might want to check your agenda.

@ghwaite, so you want it to be bad? Because, as other people have pointed out, the article and video are fairly positive, unless you're @Kharnamatic, and deliberately misrepresenting the video (and article)'s content to pull in points from the disgruntled kids who think if they cry loud enough and hard enough they'll get... something.

grizzledcroc · April 2017

Like for real ZOS remove this article

Problem is its a beta , literally reviewing a extreamly unfinished product. Its like reviewing a drawing you did when its the sketch phase.

Calling Naryu ugly isn't sexism?

I thought being ugly meant you were just ugly. If people want to be extra/precise/definitive/decisive than yeah sure whatever comes to mind.

Balamoor · April 2017

Way to misrepresent.....

It's amazing to me how the compensated hate machine continually lies about this game. I really wish that Zos would take a page from Square Enix on how manage forums.

Definitely inaccurate. Vvardenfell being the largest zone in the game? LOL.

If someone is ugly, they're ugly to THAT person. He's not calling Naryu ugly based on her being a woman, but on the fact that he doesn't find her pretty.

The real question is why do we care about these reviews from websites that have bare minimal experience with ever dang title they review . When was the last time they did a review of anything substantial ? Yeah we know it's pretty . It's very pretty . How long did you review Warden , 30 minutes ? There's no way you just reviews today with the changes and even ZoS knows there's an issue and made more changes . I don't know if MMORPG gets paid to review but it certainly feels like it .
