A fair point, and yet perhaps they could have done it in a way that does not completely debase what made the franchise successful in the first place?"<br /><br />Exactly where I am on this. This idea that to bring in NEW players the franchise needs to do something everyone else is doing defies reason. If ESO will appeal to a new audience, they will need to do it by not altering the heart of the game. Granted, it's not got much new to offer as an RPG (it follows mostly the same formula as all the others), but the open world aspects of the single-player game are its heart. If Zenimax ignores this to opt for the theme park, they'll be drying their tears on their shirts, not with the c-notes they think they'll rake in by developing the game in this way.<br /><br />The beta has been thoroughly underwhelming. My expectations for this game are non-existent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168597614461308610.post-17296891211826841762014-02-12T10:00:53.489-08:002014-02-12T10:00:53.489-08:00Due to the NDA I felt it appropriate to stay vague...Due to the NDA I felt it appropriate to stay vague; when it comes down I plan to.Clockworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00565064315360664711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168597614461308610.post-80359466840444547632014-02-12T01:54:48.686-08:002014-02-12T01:54:48.686-08:00it seems like you have more of a problem with the ...it seems like you have more of a problem with the use of the ip than the game itself.<br />Also.. the extended tutorial is unanimously terrible but the game really opens up in terms of skill customisation, crafting and open world exploration and options from around lvl 10 onwards. j3w3lhttp://healingthemasses.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168597614461308610.post-6886566809574612222014-02-11T23:45:27.378-08:002014-02-11T23:45:27.378-08:00Go into more detail!
