Make sure you do your bucket list.

You mean sounds like Bethesda.
Longest. Development. Ever.
But hell, its worth the wait.

Someones never heard half life 3

Don't forget Duke Nukem, that was 14 years or so waiting a lot of us did.

Are they developing the game at all, or is it a fable?

They are developing it, but everyone gets a vacation day every time someone makes a fat joke about Gabe.

Oh, i didnt know. It had begun to sound like wishthinking to me. Hope it'll be worth the wait..

*cough* Valve and Blizzard *cough*

Idk man Diablo 3 was in the making for forever and still turned out to be shit.

not bethesda...

Limbo of the lost, nuff said.

Bethesda's not making the MMO.

elder scrolls online.

They are still not making it.

It is developed by Zenimax and published by Bethesda.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Online

but using like, i dunno, 100% of bethesdas stuff..

The idea yes. The game and lore is made by Zenimax.

Ah sorry. I was misinformed. My bad

Long development on games is a good thing usually, like you said it's worth the wait. I just wish they wouldn't announce games when they won't be out for year or longer, it's cruel.

Well you still gotta agree that it's longer than what gamers want.
Which is like the day after release.

have you seen vindictus? I've never played it but it's free and it looks kinda badass

It would be awesome if it was a open world... but yeah it's meh, but I like the fact that it usses the Source engine.

so far I've only seen boss fights and trailers on youtube (my laptop cant run it and i might get a pc soon) and the trailers made me want to jizz myself (but anything looks cool in a trailer). The perfect mmo would have:
-Live action (not like wow, where you auto attack and cast spells)
-open world
-preferably free (but that can be compromised)

if vindictus is not open world, then i'll pass

It's just a dungeon crawler.

**klaatu rolled a random image posted in comment #1769603 at MLP Friendly Board ** Vindictus is very ehhhh

Old republic was boss. idk why it didnt meet expectation.

SWTOR had a great storyline and story telling compared to other MMO's, but the end level content was pure crap.

I don't know how they turned out

they were bad. for a variety of reasons. no mmorpg has even come close to topping world of warcraft, and even wow is merely mediocre in my opinion. I dont think theres such thing as a "great" mmo.

I just feel like the Elder Scrolls Online is just going to be WoW, but in Tamriel, which I would not like. If it were like Oblivion ( with shittier graphics to compensate for server size), and you could just roam around in 1st/3rd person and attack manually like in the normal games, THAT would be legendary. Maybe there could be a large wilderness or something where you could build houses (multiple servers, obviously). Basically, if they could make Oblivion (or Skyrim or Morrowind) the same, but online, with periodically added content (quests, caves, mines, enemies, etc), and an arena for 1v1, I would never leave my house except to work to pay for the game, lol. I know this may be above our current technology, but I would rather wait for the best game of all time than have a mediocre WoW copy right now. Also... Skyrim-like Pokemon game.

How can you say it looks like shit? Is there footage of it somewhere?

yes there is.....on youtube....where it always is

**anepicnub rolled a random comment #1652189 posted by matoob at Item Discussion ** :


Yes.

Just... yes.

I agree, that would be the tits. I would love to just fuck around in Oblivion with a buddy

that sounds much better
i dont really like MMO - anymore at least -
but i really like the idea of co-op
healing Lydia isnt as fun as playing with a friend

"I'll get off Funnyjunk in 5 min... Something I said 3 Hours ago"

ive read some reviews and apparently they are taking out the kill everything in sight part(what i do part)
,but there are some pretty good dungeons and when a party is in a fight you can just join invited or not.

from what i've heard about the alpha, its not looking as bad as i initially thought it would be. the PVP seems like its gonna be awesome, my only real concern is how it will play, if its too WoW like in terms of push button do a spell, then it will probably flop like SWTOR did

they should keep the combat, and make it into a sword and blade MMO game, the game creates 9 nations, like there are 9 continents, a shitload of castles, towns and cities, and at the start of the game, you join someone else's army, and just follow him around, follow his orders, fight his enemies, you level up, get better equipment and shit, but it would still be possible to you know... die
THAT WOULD BE SO COOL

I like this!

let's make out own! you go find a team of game developers, develop it, publish it, get a fanbase, sell out to EA, make more, not so great games, and pay me 50% of EVERYTHING because it's my idea

But I don't wanna make out... :(

From what i have heard on Youtube it would seem they are going to make the combat extremely similar to skyrim. There will be 3 factions and you will be able to explore the whole of Tamriel (Though they said that there are certain places that you won't be able to go to.) And i also saw Aylied Ruins from oblivion. So i have a feeling Zenimax knows what they are doing. But if they don't, i am going to be VERY pissed since Skyrim is the only possible game that i want to play these days.

You may be right, but fuck you its elder scrolls.

been playing SWOTOR.
its not so bad.
Its a for casuals but it is pretty fun.
they shouldent have done a sub system honestly.

The end game content isnt as good as WoW.
And even if it was as good, it would still be a hell of alot better to get people to change from a game theyve been playing for years.

Last good wow raid was ulduar.
Wow Peaked In BC and had been getting shittier since then.

True, but people still play it.
Because its WoW, the game they know and love.

and who knows maybe eldar scrolls will finally be the one to be the next MMO king.
One can hope.

Maybe.
I doubt it, but maybe.

You just need to have hope!!
Then we can start massacring elves!!

YEAH
FUCK ELVES

Yeah.
Someday they will see the light and stop throwing money at their face for this garbage they make.

Except for Starcraft 2.
Thats some good shit right there.

I'm so glad they didn't fail that.

hell yeah it is.
shits so good.
I mean.
Its no brood war but its great.

im with you on that

Yea, but I already saw it somewhat ruined when Fallout fanboys started playing Skyrim.

Especially the ones that think the Sweetroll is a reference to Fallout 3.

That's what she did not say.

I heard that it's gonna be a one off payment of like $50.

I sure hope so.

Otherwise Zenimax can go fuck themselves.

i'd still play it...

I hate that kind of games. You feel forced to play it because you constantly pay for it. So when you're not playing it, you're throwing money in the trash.

If it does have a monthly fee, i will still try it for like 3 months, just to see.

The one thing I don't like about it is the "megaserver" idea. They're gonna put all the players on the same server.

Yeah, heard about that. We'll see how that goes.

Yeah I just did some research and it looks like it's gonna be a one off payment.

And by "it looks like" I mean, it's gonna be.

Ah great. Now, can you tell me if first person is available?

Fantastic. It will probably be pretty good. Too bad it's not Bethesda. Probably (hopefully) busy with Fallout 4.

What I'm gonna hate is that there will be so many 12 year old little pricks on there, e.g: modern runescape players (majority)

You can live in your delusions if you want, but i call dibs on the first stone cast.
The problem with the MMO is that the elder scrolls games are, and always have been about the single player experience, not once in all my time spent in any of the elder scroll games did i wish that another douchebag could tag along.
The second problem is that the games are already rich with lore, which is bound to create a lot of contradictions (like the history books which failed to mention emperor "noobpwnzorrx"), also for any future elde scroll games the geography is pretty much set in stone, and they will most likely write themselves in a corner soon enough.
On the up side, the combat seems fun.. for melee anyway. The world looks amazing..
That's about it. The game will be fun to play for a (very) short while (for diehard TES fans at that), but i doubt it will become the most popular mmo any time soon.
In conclusion, this was a horrible, HORRIBLE idea.

Ok the reason why there is no history book the mentions emperor whatever, is because it takes place before recorded time. thats why they selected this time in the history.

Well, while the 1st is a valid point, I'm not seeing your logic behind the other 2? How would the lore make contradictions? The lands will obviously be scaled down anyway, so for future TES games, they can add alot

You're asking how they will contradict themselves? Seriously?
It's a freaking mmo, it's bound to assrape the lore because they will be adding a bunch of new information which has never been addressed before in any previous games, now here's the kicker.
At some point they will start making expansions, what does that mean? New lore! Which means if they are in development of any other TES game or addon content, not only do they have to worry about not making huge plot holes for the MMO, the MMO has to do the same. Even though it is set a thousand years before the events of the current series, the actions of the characters will no doubt leave a trace.
Why do you think Blizzard stopped making warcraft games after their WoW?
And now for the lands..
The probelm with scailing down lands is that Tamriel is full of cities, towns, settlements etc. It's gonna take a lot of space to put them all in without them being back to back, and it would create lore improbabilites, and explaining that the towns or cities weren't there at the time creates more plot holes.
This is why you don't fucking make an MMO out of a well-established universe, and a third person RPG of all things.
This has to be one of the most idiotic things any game company has ever done and i fear it may bring about the demise of the series.

I see your point. Still, it might not to Expansion packs like WOW. Well, I hope not

youre that slow at beatings skyrim?

But a ton of people HAVE finished the main story and all of the other significant quests, and after that it gets to be the same thing over and over again (go in some cave, fight some draugr, get some moolah). Personally, I don't care if it's an MMO or an expansion pack or anything, but I just need something to hold me through the next 5-6 years we'll probably have to wait for The Elder Scrolls VI.

I never said I wanted "stuff to do".
I said I wanted something to hold me through to the next release date.
If I want to play a Bethesda game that's my own damn business. I hate it when people get all superior about video games. They are GAMES.
Everybody's different; I like first-person RPGs. I also like realistic looking characters and a realistic setting (I don't just mean good graphics, I mean style). So sue me.
