The Elder Scrolls Online

Posted by LAR Games on Feb. 6, 2013, 7:32 p.m.

So, The Elder Scrolls Online. I'm pretty sure everyone thought this would happen eventually. At first I was pretty skeptical about this game, but as more information has been released, I can honestly say that this is the game I'm looking forward to the most in the near future.

One of the big things that I was most upset about is that MMOs are usually in third person, and the Elder Scrolls has always been a first person series. Apparently, you have the option to play in first person as well in the Elder Scrolls Online. That made me as giddy as a schoolgirl.

Also, hasn't everyone wanted an Elder Scrolls Game that took place in all of Tamriel? I sure did. This is now reality.

Here's a video about it:

What do you guys think? Looking forward to it as much as I am?

Another joke like that and it's a shotgun to the face.

I love Skyrim. I don't know why people are raging so much about it, it is a damn fine game and they did a great job of packing a lot of stuff inside a virtual world. It's not like they have hordes of artists, writers and programmers to make every damn NPC special or every little place different, it's simply not feasible.

With that logic then would be I right in assuming they bit off more than they could chew? That's what It felt like to me most of the time. I don't think it being "not feasible" is a valid excuse. If it wasn't feasible then they shouldn't have attempted it.

I like Skyrim.

I hate MMORP Games.

I'd much rather have an ambitious game with flaws than a generic game that's perfectly polished.

seriously, i never stop hearing about how games lately lack innovation, but when one comes out, people start complaining how it could've been better.

Games with innovative ideas very rarely are perfect. They are important though so another game can come along, pick up on the idea and try to perfect the formula or at least take it a step further.

That's just how games work. If we didn't have ambitious games like skyrim, the game industry would be much, MUCH worse.

" ambitious games like this"

Please tell me you're not talking about the MMO.

Because I haven't seen anything useful yet.

actually, i take it back, the mmo looks kind of cool, but only because i liked skyrim.

i'm not even into mmo's but i look forward to see how this'll turn out.
