Jun 25, 2015One of the best games out there. It's clear as day that the large majority of these "negative reviews" are coming from people who have not even played the game and are either just trolling to be miserable trolls or are mad because their game might be failing in some way

Jun 25, 2015This game is genre defining. It really sets the bar for everything coming up next. The quest system is fantastic, unlike any other mmorpg on the market, the classes are filled with possibilities and you never feel trapped into a system or "cookie cutter builds" that degrade the experience.
-
Jun 25, 2015The amount of stories that are available is amazing. The game has so much replay value. I am definitely getting my $60 out of the game. The game is huge and i feel like i will never finish it.
-
Jun 25, 2015An amazing game! I especially like the exploration part of hidden caves and dungeons spread around the world which in general reward you with loot chests
-
Jun 25, 2015After playing this game hardcore for over a month, I feel that the hype has finally worn off and the game truly deserves a 10 rating. It's by far the best MMO right now, even better than World of Warcraft (though that's mostly due to Blizzard's failings).
-
Jun 25, 2015This game is definitely one of the best games I have ever played, and THE best MMORPG out there at this, and a much longer, time. Everything from graphics to storyline are beautifully done.
-
Jun 25, 2015Truly loving this game. I decided the second I saw it that I would buy this game and was not disappointed in the slightest. I have been playing WoW for 6 years. I am glad in a way that Warlords of Draenor is so terribly childish, given me more time to play ESO.

Jun 25, 2015The finest hour for MMO's, I started playing MMO's with World of Warcraft at launch, I have since played most of the MMO's that have come since and a few that came before also and I feel I speak with some authority when I say that this is by far the best game I've played at launch in this genre
-
Jun 25, 2015Fun and innovative in the sense that you level up quickly without realizing that your doing it. Combat is fast paced and smooth, graphics are beautifully done, and over all game play is extremely enjoyable.
-
Jun 25, 2015Finally a game that combines the best features of the good mmo's while adding new mechanics and ways to play the game. It will be a long time I think before a better game than ESO will be made.
-
Jun 25, 2015This game is the culmination of the evolution of both free to play, and subscription MMOs. The game design and art are superb, and the microtransaction/auction system is amazing. Cant say enough good things about this game. p.s. Also, lots of replayability between races in terms of story.
-
Jun 25, 2015I wish i could comment on some of these negative reviews. If you are hitting the same 2 buttons the entire game your doing it wrong. This is the most immersive game i have ever played.
-
Jun 25, 2015The game is amazing in my own opinion. The graphics are spot on and the visual schemes are amazing. I am still playing and i feel so immersed. Besides the PvE which i can go meh at sometimes (compared to many other mmo's where the pve is just BLAH), it rescues itself in PVP
-
Jun 25, 2015Really funny game! I already spend 300 hs on it and don't regret buying it. Some times the non-story-quest get really boring(but it always happen in all MMOs).
-
Jun 25, 2015Don't listen to the naysayers they are just WOW fanbabies who are upset that ESO is so popular and good. It really is fantastic and the graphics are some of the best I've ever seen.
-
Jun 25, 2015Very refreshing mmo, and with no monthly fee, it's a winner! The "quest" system is what i liked most and why I find it so refreshing. Great job Zenimax, can't wait to see where you take this game.
-
Jun 25, 2015Phenomenal game. It removes a lot of the things I hate about MMOs (monthly fee, gear grinds, pointless time sinks etc) and adds a bunch of great things.
-
Jun 25, 2015Having played almost every MMO since the dawn of the genre (right back to MUDs) I've been jaded for a very long time and was almost hesitant to try yet another - the fact it was Subs-Free helped me overcome that reticence.
I love it. -
Jun 25, 2015The only problems I have with this title are the dungeons are a annoying, everything is a boss it seems and there are a lot of them. The rewards are, generally speaking useless and when they are good, it's not for your class. But I don't dungeon much.
-
Jun 25, 2015This is the best MMORPG I have ever played so far. It doesn't suck your money like a hungry vacuum. Leveling is at ease. Full voice acting. Exploring is also fun and actually rewarding. Very soothing music. Please, try the game, it doesn't even need monthly subscription to play.
-
Jun 25, 2015I am thoroughly enjoying ESO. I can jump in and play for an hour or so, or I can play for 6, it's all easy and fun. I never feel the grind, and the world is stunning. Overall, it's just a really good game.

Jun 25, 2015Most fun I've had in an MMO. The game is beautiful, tons of fun and addicting for all! The pve, pvp, and AvAvA is all amazing and really well done. Finally a game where you can do whatever you want.. Explore, do dungeons, pvp, AvAvA, and more! Also, this game is harder than your average MMO. Which is good! Who doesn't like a challenge?
-
Jun 25, 2015The game is astonishing, I have played WoW for 6 years and every other MMO I haven't even bothered to try, all of them have been the same. Finally a game breaks the mold.

Jun 25, 2015Game in which everyone will find something for you. No matter how much time you can dedicate to game, you can fully enjoy it. I think this is what make it completely different from other MMO games.
-
Sep 12, 2015I am enjoying this game very much. There is so much to do and the map is very large and the combat is very good in the game. The PvP system is good as well but you do need to be at a high level to do that.

Nov 16, 2015I wanted another Elder Scrolls game and they delivered. I'm not a big MMORPG guy so the fact that a lot of the missions can be easily done solo was not an issue for me. The story line is involving and I've already spent many hours in the game. My only complaint is the DLC seems a bit high priced, I'll wait for the price drop until I get them as there is plenty to due in the main game.

Aug 16, 2015A couple of lines of dialogue can often be all you’re given before being plunged into whatever mundane task is expected of you; rare are the significant characters and even rarer are the ones you care about. It just doesn’t maintain the same depth of exploration or profundity that the series is known for, leading to a much quicker-paced Elder Scrolls experience.
-
Aug 12, 2015Even simple quests cause a chain reaction of new incidents and it's possible to see how the player affects Tamriel. But if you expect something like Skyrim with coop-mode you still have to wait for another game.
-
Aug 3, 2015This is a nice RPG and a bad MMO. The game is playable without subscriptions and it offers a lot of content to explore. Playing together with other gamers still is not really working properly. It is too bad this game does not impress, even though the development system for characters and the PvP are fun.
