I was excited about this game, but now not so much. I hate Season passes and DLC's so much, and even more when they are announced before the game is even released !!!

Haha, so glad I pirated this. God damn bullshit Uplay garbage.

If only I could thumbs this one up PC gaming really needs to change, going back to its roots. no more stupid always online crap. Stupid pencils pushers and their bright Ideas, when will they realise they are only hurting people who pay the game

I despise gamespy since they shut down my beloved Mplayer service !

So basically people are playing alpha early access and maybe in half a year or more this game will reach waht it should be at release date for the price people paid for.

If it wasnt for the name recognition this mmo would be long forgotten.

??? Like every freaking mmo dude, get your heads out of your asses, there are other mmo's worth playing other than WoW ! WoW was unplayable for the first month of release.

Teso is the first MMO to really captivate me since WoW. I dont understand why people love to hate TESO ?

PS: you dont see Molag Bal in the trailer.

Actually I do know the lore and settings, I've been under NDA for quite a while thanks. So again, what I said holds true especially if you're just grabbing the game to grab it.
I'm a huge fan of the lore and been playing the elder scrolls since Daggerfal ! I really really hope they dont screw up on this game. but only time will tell... when people reach max level and if there his contents (unlike Star Wars) I beleive it could be an amazing game.

For me Morrowind was the best ever game in the Elder Scrolls series, just the intro music by Jeremy Soule is epic. Anyways I hope my faith is well placed, and that this game will be amazing.

I have no idea what is going on in that trailer, but to bad the game won't be anything like that.

Yeah neither do I. Usually intro cinematics exist to give you an idea of what's going on, happening, why, etc. And all I got from that is: "People are fighting each other, some other people, and then some more fighting..." But no reason why, no intro information or anything else.

Thats because you dont know of the lore and settings, There are 3 factions fighting for the throne of Cyrodill, (the fighting in the beggining) then comes Molag Bal, he wants to drag Tamriel to Coldharbour (hence the anchors)

PS: you dont see Molag Bal in the trailer.

So, they're charging $60 to buy the game, and a subscription too?
Who does that anymore?

I really hope this game does not fail ! I would rather pay a subscriptions, than stand another stupid game that pretends to be F2P, but to really enjoy the game you have to fork more cash in that product than a monthly sub.

I dont understand, people spitting on this game, because of the monthly sub. its the real mmo standard! People are just spoiled by those supposedly F2P games.

F2P is great for casual gamers. Anyhow. if this game goes F2P I will just quit simple as that... and hopefully Star Citizen will rock.

It's a shame because Vanguard had all the makings of a truly awesome MMO. Had they actually done it properly out of the gate it would have been a solid contender with WoW. Apart from the obvious, unfinished problems, underneath was a game with amazing potential. So many races and classes, flying mounts, ships you could craft and sail, wicked crafting system, diplomacy system, etc. They should have shitcanned McQuaid after that one.

I totally agree with you, the crafting system like you said was amazingly deep, but man at launch it had so many problems. the game was running horrendously choppy even on top of the line pc's back then ! And it was never able to win the hearths of the gamers.

And I totally agree, it would of been a great contender to WoW no doubt about that !

What I find intriguing, is that they still advertise their SOE: ALL ACCESS pay 1 sub and play all 8 games, including those that they are closing ! thats false advertising.

Hell I even logged into my account and they were willing to take my money on a 1 year sub to Vanguard LOL !

I was on the anti-Windows 8 bandwagon for a long time until I actually tried it. Now I actually like it quite a bit.

You can't love windows 8 unless you have a touchscreen. Even windows 8.1 start button is a mess. and its even worse for system admins, running Windows 2012 server (same freaking interface as windows 8) its just not practical.

Might be good for the casuals, "Ho my god, easy to use, same as with an Ipad" type of people... but power users just can't love Windows 8

Good thing there are private servers, that doesnt have crap like that.

I've never heard about this. and from what i've seen on youtube, good thing this anime crap is shutting down...

Heya all,

If anyone wants my invite for this Jan 10-12 stress test, let me know.
I won't be able to participate and I'm happy to give it away if someone wants. (first request gets it, not posting key as I'd prefer not have some random lurker get the key)

Nevermind dude, give it to someone else, looks like I got the invite also !!!

you must be jocking but i'd like to get it if not !

Damn and I just downloaded the client to check this game out

Did we really need that ? if you can't figure out how to plug your current USB, you might as well not be using a PC...

Theres more important things that could of been done. Like the Organic Hard Drives. they have been talking about this for over a decade now.

Man pays $750 for a piece of paper he thought was an Xbox One.

The auction listing stated it was for a photo of the console, not the system itself. However, Clatworthy said he still expected to receive the Xbox One because the item was listed in the "video games and consoles" category on eBay.

Hahaha! I know it was a dickish thing to do but I can't help laughing. The seller posted a photo of the console and sent the same photo to the winner! That's hysterical!

I don't get how it is misleading either.. it clearly said "photo" and he got the photo... sure was an expensive photo... but that ain't misleading, and people buy butt fucking ugly "art" for more.

Hahaha laughing my ass off right now, and I read the entire story, he wanted to get a day one, Xbox one edition for his 4 year old son !

I guess he got cooned too , when at 15 he bought a picture of a condom !!!

I just don't think it's my cup of tea. I won't say any more than that here.

I will say I am an Elder Scrolls fanboy - I own boxed copies (original) of all of them, including Collector's editions of Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim.

Totally agree with you, been a fan of the franchise since Daggerfall, and what a freaking let down ESO is. ok I know it's in beta. But just like when I was in the beta of Stargate worlds, I knew, that if that game ever came out it would sucks donkey ass. ESO is just the same. prettier but still sucks.

Isn't it a bit 'dick'ish' to say 'hey you bought the console I hate, and I'm glad your suffering' when at the end of the day, people just want to play games, and the game they really want to play isn't on YOUR console?
Hate on the companies for shoddy work is one thing, but because they just want to play games.... seriously?
Shouldn't we have a collective 'FUCK YOU!' to both PS4 and One owner's because we are elitist PC Gamers, who typically have to suffer because of the inferiority of the latest generation of console hardware?
I had a PS3 for the few games that interested me, and I have a 360, and have had a 3DS, and have a PC.
I got a NES for Mario World, SNES for Legend of Zelda/F-Zero, a Gameboy for Tetris and Robocop,Any Gameboy that had the Pokemon games, N64 for more Zelda and Mario, a Atari Lynx because it was just fucking cool at the time, a Gamecube for even more Zelda, a Sega Master System/Genesis/Sega CD for Sonic the Hedgehog, a Playstation for Warhawk and Twisted Metal, a Xbox for Halo, a 360 for more Halo and Forza/PGR Racing, and finally a PS3 for Infamous 1&2, and I bought my first PC back in 1988-1990 for the Sierra 'Quest' line of games, and yes, even for Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards
If I had the option to purchase both the One and PS4 I would. Why? Because I'm a fucking GAMER. I want to play Dead Rising 3 and Forza 5, and I really want to play Infamous 3, but I spend most of my time gaming on my phone and my PC.

And what I find is funny is either the BLOD, RROD, Yellow Light of Death, etc are all heinous crimes against the buyer of the machine, when we had to blow into the cartridges, insert a book or another game into the console, or turn the console upside down or some other trick with the NES. Hell the NES was the VW Beetle of it's time. There were 50 ways to get the damn thing to run after it died.

But to resort to petty bullshit because a gamer recieved bad hardware is stupid.

U mad Bro ?

Point is man, we are stuck getting shitty games because of consoles, for the next 4 years now, we will be limited by the freaking consoles, and we will be forced to play shitty ports most of the time.

that is why we laugh when shit like this happens. because with every gen of consoles you guys bend over and take it up the a**

And this is why I am so excited about Star Citizen, the first real PC GAME in what 8 years ?
