Skyrim undershot a decent deal to retain console compatibility. I doubt ES Online will have a console version so we should be safe there. I'd expect it to be at least as pretty as Skyrim.
Skyrim on the PS3 looks better than this Elder Scrolls Online shit. It's like Bethesda said here you go Zenimax, take our most beloved IP and fuck it, hard.
New video on ESO. http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/z2g1qr/the-elder-scrolls-online-an-introduction-to-tes--online Looks promising enough.
So my friends and I decided to grab this game since it was cheap and free now.. and there's no other game out we have any interest in. It's ok so far. The combat is fairly engaging and gives you full freedom in movement. I guess in other words, it stays pretty faithful to elder scrolls combat. My problem with it so far is that since it's an mmo, it's quite a bit simplified. Maybe too simplified. You only have 5 combat actions that you can do. And then you also have an ultimate action. My other complaint is making money. There is no open auction house in this game. You have to join a guild to gain access to their closed auction house which only the players in the guild have access to. Not sure why this was a design decision.
I thought about playing. I actually enjoyed the beta but that was only for a few hours. There was no way of know how it would do in the long run. People still play it so it can't be that bad. My recent return to WOW was lame and I doubt I'll ever come back to it.
