Good song
Too bad ESO is going to burn like many other failed mmos and zenimax is in full damage control mode.
It's attitudes like this that are to blame for many game failures,MMO or not. You only stand to lose by being so dismissive and pessimistic.
Anyways,amazing song,Gav. I,for one,hope that Zenimax and Bethesda find the song,and hope that the game will live up to the hype...And the actions of that patently Sheogorath-grade awesome Breton from the "Alliances" trailer.
I really wish I could be positive about the game myself, but it's almost assured to be a horrid failure on the game side of things.
On Lore, it is absolutely a failure. None of it makes sense. None of it. Some nuggets of interesting knowledge in there, but for the vast majority, it just ... just ...
I need a scotch now.
Incredible song, Gavin! Absolutely fantastic. Have been listening to it time and time again.
Ive seen the leaked footage, it looks horrid
Coupled with the extreme messing about with the lore
When companies stop responding to their potential customers and bring out the lawyers and the ban hammers, well it's a trend Ive seen too many times before.
Excuse my ignorance but... What are you talking about with that last sentence?
Oh you know hunting down every source of that leaked footage, cease and desist orders and a few people having been banned for critically discussing said video on the ESO forums.
I thought that was pretty standard fare for when someone breaks a legally binding non-disclosure agreement and posts a 20 minute long video in terrible quality deliberately to make your game look worse than it actually is...
Perhaps but if I was them I would release more beta footage of more preferable quality to alleviate peoples fears, lay out of few more breadcrumbs keep the interest going you know. Just censoring everything makes people think you have nothing good to show them and the quality presented in that dudes one video is all they are ever going to get from this game. This shh everything's a secret thing they are doing is if anything more damaging to them than helpful now.
That is the point of NDAs however, if you are doing a beta then things aren't READY to show the public yet. Despite what people think, quite a bit can change between a Beta and final release. Critical bugs can be fixed, optimization to how the game runs can be made, textures tightened up.
To say that the beta footage is proof that the final game will be bad is just something people who weren't going to buy the game are telling themselves to make themselves feel more justified.
If you want to feel justified, then just think about how the game is set in the second Era, and has no real impact on any of the lore you already know and care about. Before Tiber Septim was even born. Think about the 15 dollars, 10 pounds a month you'd have to pay, possibly with a 50-60 dollar "Account" Purchase as well.
And well, that quote about the lore thing, I was angry about that, but it was explained to me quite well, it isn't so much that our heroes in Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind didn't exist, so much so that our characters in ESO if you happen to play it, won't be chosen by the gods to do something great, more like we are real Adventurers. To be honest, you should all be happy it isn't set after Skyrim. You'd all be guards within a week.
