Zero Punctuation: The Elder Scrolls Online - We Can MMO Too
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw

Ugh, I got bored of Kung Fu Panda jokes about Mists of Pandaria, oh wait I never found them funny. Granted if anybody has actually played the thing they'd realise that the Pandaren are much more than that and it has a rather grim tone, albeit poorly written.
Still I've never really understood the point of TESO. Yes I do like the idea of being able to see some friends when I'm walking about in Cyrodiil but in truth always having to see them would be a pain in the arse. I guess I'll give this one a miss, and wait until I can return to Cyrodiil for two missions in TES VI: Valenwood or the Khajit place. Oblivion is almost painted in a positive light in this video which is a bit odd, but I guess time and TESO have improved Oblivion in one's graces.

Oh, the great Stargate Expansion. About a thousand games promised, about zero delivered.
Not just the MMOs (yes, there was more than one), but a first person shooter, a First/Third person action game, and about two dozen adventures.
Damn it, thios video has made me nostalgic for the hope I once had for a decent SG-1 game.
Also, I eagerly await the solitaire MMO. Seems to be where things are going.

Yet more stamping of the 'MMO' badge on random IPs in desperate hope of success and still paling in comparison to everything, City of Heroes especially.
When I think Elder Scrolls multiplayer, I think 2-4 player co-op. You know what would be fun? Exploring this dungeon with a close friend! Not 50 strangers.
So that's another mmo that isn't as good as World Of Warcraft.

You and I are going to be together forever aren't we?

You're... reviewing an MMO?
Different I guess. It is amusing though that S&B seems to be considered the best possible weapon skill.

I know you probably won't be reading this Yahtzee, but Pandaren were in Warcraft 3 (especially Chen Stormstout the main pandaren hero) before Kung Fu Panda was even made so your joke about that part falls rather flat.
Of course there are few that actually know this, but hey..all in good fun right? Right.

People wanted Skyrim you could play with your friends. They did not want World of Warcraft wearing Skyrim's skin. Zynax or whatever they're called of course wanted World of Warcraft wearing Skyrim's skin, so that they could farm TES's fanbase for $15 per month + $60 + $microtransactions.
I actually really like ESO the PvP has a DAOC feel, I haven't seen a MMO that has Semi good controls IE Not tab target garbage, and quests that are fully voiced with interesting backgrounds. I'm not delusional the game has its issues latency comes to mind with the occasional issue with there being to many people in 1 area, but I am having a lot of fun and it only seems to get better as I get higher in level. I'm veteran rank 3 and the mobs and puzzles seems to only get harder and more obscure its getting interesting to see the select few that has what it takes to fight the mobs at the level I'm at, there is no more than 200 of us.
PS The Vet level dungeons are extremely hard and require coordination beyond the scope of a normal human group stuff like that is refreshing to see, unlike WoW which is only getting more "Accessible" with every expansion they come out with.
