Played it for 20 mins. Seems OK but it's getting some dreadful reviews.

 

[Fefner]

Seems all good to me, not sure why ppl are saying it's a bad game, maybe they are pissed about the monthly sub?

Gonna try and get to level 10 asap to try out the PvP.

Been playing it for a couple of hours, I can't really say that "this is it"... One thing that bothers me a lot is the Graphics, TES series was always about the exploring, the free world with the beautiful graphics to me!

 

[Coldbeard]

People still looking for the perfect game or "this is it" feeling are always going to get disappointed. What I've liked so far is that it does indeed feel like TES series and the immersion. The game also runs very smooth and hardly experienced any bugs (at least not game breaking bugs). The overall starter impression has been on the positive side for sure, looking forward to getting more levels and exploring the world further.

Played to lvl 10, and i have to say it.... It sucks balls!! WTF did they do to this game? 5 skill slots really? WTF!! This became a console game, i cant givf my pet command, i cant see my damage, i cant see my name, I cant use my mouse freely....

What a way to fuck up a good game,it was 1000 times better when i played it 2 years ago @ gamescon. jst horrible.

 

[Mabs]

seems fine thus far, some people whinging , not really sure about what
waiting to check the PVP before i make a final decision about it

crafting is good, and nicely varied
Xping is decent speed
PVE combat .. works.. feels a bit odd, but definately viable

as to the slot limits - you get skill points from lvling, and from exploring, you think it might possibly be a design to stop you having everything at once active on your bars ? so not everyone is using the same "build" to max dps/defence/healing in 1 go ?

I've played it for 1 hour so far.. and have fairy enjoyed it.

What I like is that it seems different, for example no mouse cursor. The world is quite fun to explore, I did some fishing and other stuff. I hope there is a grouping element as that will make or break the game for me.

 

[Aoami]

It is A LOT like neverwinter

 

[Bigmac]

Betas only ruin the gaming experience for me. While you gain an advantage of knowledge of what to do and where to go in the game, your fun factor is reduced when the game is actually released. So I think I'll wait till it gets more polish and bug fixes before giving it a try.

Yes, the prologue was so tedious I logged the moment it was finished. Very unlikely to buy based on what I saw.

Jeez give it a chance why don't you..

I did, I'd rather do a Tax Return than waste my time on that.

I agree the prologue was a bit yawn, but I was more interested in the mechanics and other stuff which to me see promising. I personally want something different than WoW, Gw2 etc

I am not talking about "the feeling" towards MMOs. But the feeling/atmosphere I had when playing games such as the other TES games, which I do not.

I heard that the content is soloable or groupable, up to you, seems daft.

It's a different game. Deal with it

Yes, indeed. Thats why I wont be playing it My expectation was wrong, I was seeing myself in a Skyrim like MMO With the same atmosphere

 

[Aoami]

Its Ok. Not good enough to make me want to buy it.

 

[Dutch_NS]

If it was a free to play mmo okay but not gonna buy and pay a month for this, it feels like a slow paste diablo 3.... stuck in load screen for the last 10 min now...

Agree, so far I don't think I'll be paying for this.

It seems ok, just not a great game. It doesn't seem to offer anything that other MMOs don't already, yet doesn't really seem to offer anything like the previous TES games either :/
