More! More! But please only review the games that deserved to be played (ie. Half-Life, Skyrim, FarCry 3, etc.) Leave the massive piles of wank for Yahtzee.

There was a great quote I read about Skyrim that summed it up in one sentance. "As wide as an ocean, as deep as a puddle." I'm hesitant to get all hot and bothered about this game just for that reason. Especially with so many studios trying to cash in on 1: the MMO market, and 2: whoring out a franchise.

what if, beyond all negativity, they DO keep it true to elder scrolls? kinda like an ultima online system. Ultima Online was more like elder scrolls in its execution with no levels and only skills. so it could very well work. and if its just skyrim multiplayer. so what! i wished i could go online and raid towns with a buddy. or dungeons if thats your thing

Well, you sure have patience. At least even the shittiest computers can run SC2 on max when Legacy of the Void comes out in 2017.

Just pointing out though, 12 hours is bullshit. Yeah you can finish Skyrim in 12 hours too, but neither of these games are worth only 12 hours of gameplay.

Perhaps, but not necessarily. Different studios -- Bethesda (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim) and ZeniMax Online (parent corp., so they can borrow art assets and TES IP, but whole different set of developers and from what I've read I don't think they'll be transferring any of the dev staff between studios).

Take heart, all is not lost for single-player TES.

All that the Archer/Assassin act in the middle needed was an Oliphant or two. And the elven female mage was HOT (yes, pun intended).

What bugs me about this is it's where Bethesda's attention is going to go for the next four years instead of concentrating and putting out the next quality single-player chapter in what is all of a mature and proven franchise, a genre that they own, and a immersive play experience that they are the absolute benchmark in. MMO's where the money's at, sure, but they made a KILLING with Skyrim and its single-player sequel would have been an absolute sure bet to do same.

Makes me sad as they've been very consistent at releasing a new chapter every 5-6 years for the previous 3 chapters, and this means Elder Scrolls VI is now likely to be much further out than 2016.

I'm kind of conflicted about this one. As someone who has logged something like 600 hours on Skyrim, I'm a pretty big fan of TES games. However, the last thing the world needs is another PvE/PvP grind-fest WoW-clone. It's just not TES.

I doubt that I will partake.

Great trailer. Shame the actual game won't be anything like that .

My favorite thing about Oblivion and Skyrim were the mods. To begin with it was just fixing bugs Bethesda missed, then it was tweaks to balance some aspects of the game but eventually you could get mods that put some professional DLC to shame.

Anyway, they promised to stay true to Elder Scrolls with this MMO, but I don't really see how they can.

You know, just because it's an ad for a video game, doesn't mean it's all CG. After all didn't they use a fair amount of live action in the Skyrim TV spots?

Anyway, as impressive an ad as it is, by the looks of it, it's just going to be WoW with a different art style. I just hope this doesn't mean an end to Elder Scrolls single player games.

To hell with Skyrim, bring on the Virtual Valerie.

I like how I have space to carry around the ingredients for 30-40 syringes, but I can only actually carry 11. Does it ever annoy me that I have a hotkey for mines and remote charges which I use ever so sparingly, but all my syringes and modified arrows have to share 7/8? It reminds me of Skyrim. Unfortunately there will be no mod scene to fix these niggles.

Oh, and Uplay is indeed bullshit. There was a pirated version of the game out before it was even released here, yet again their drm just serves to fuck over legit owners. I bought the game on steam, so its double dumb. Steam launches Uplay, Uplay launches FC3...

I hear WoW on PC is also better... Ziiing!!

It looks like crap because it's on a console, you dickwags. It's super pixelated because it's probably 720p at best. In 6 to 8 months when it comes out on PC, it will look much, much better. Of course, it will still suffer from consolitis, and be ruined by horrid, invasive DRM, so it won't be worth playing, but at least it will look a lot better.

Have you guys played any 'Console ports' lately? Sleeping Dogs is outstanding on PC, Dishonored is likewise outstanding, and of course Skyrim is ten times better on PC. All these games were marketed for consoles, but their PC versions got a lot of love and it shows. Hell, even the latest Deus Ex was pretty awesome on PC.

It almost feels like a Skyrim video
