Waste of money...
ByEamaddenCODftw
I can't believe I wasted money on this game. Totally unplayable. Game often freezes along with frame rate drop. Combat system isn't anywhere near the level of COD. Not as many customization options as advertised. Equipped items and weapons disappear for seconds at a time. Requires extensive traveling before finding enemies to kill. I'll stick to my COD.

some i wouldve expected 3 years ago
Byenjoyitfromnew york, ny
If you're just looking for another elder scrolls to play on your console then this is it. There are no leaps or bounds in any aspect of the mmo in terms of game play. Its the same game play that you're used to with all the other mmo's. You will get board after a few weeks and realize that you're also paying 180 bucks extra per year to play this game. Pair that with the fact that you're also paying for psn or xb gold and its not pretty.
If this game was intuitive, had great game play, I could merit it as a good enough mmo for me to waste that money on, but again, there is nothing special about this mmo besides visuals and even they aren't that great. Mmo's shouldn't be the same as they were 3-5 years ago. It really feels like they just want the money. 7/10 for a score 6 with the sub fee. We'll see if they are able to pull a 180 with what time they have left before release.

Aside form the obvious word usage errors, bored, not board, the information in the review is inaccurate. You do not need to pay for the PSN subscription to play the game. Sony and Bethesda have both stated this.

Most expensive game ever?
ByAntkim1999fromMassachusetts
This game is clearly taking advantage of the huge success of it's predecessor Skyrim. I get the feeling it's not going to live up to all the hype because it seems like they've spent most of their creative talents figuring out how to extract a few extra bucks out of our collective wallets. I loved and still play skyrim but this has a totally different feel to me. I'm sure it'll be an amazing game but there is a limit to how much you can expect to charge people to play a video game. Isn't there?

Do not need PS plus to say as has been stated by both Bethesda and Sony
