Star Wars failed MISERABLY and the following was even bigger, I copped, subbed for one month and then
I didn't waste more money on that.
I bought star wars too, but the following for star wars was not nearly the same for elder scrolls online
Skyrim is the 2nd highest selling RPG of the past 10 years
Star Wars has a huge movie following, but none of their games have ever sold insane amounts (theyve done well, but no world breakers..)
other things Elder Scrolls Online has going for it that Star Wars didnt;
Elder Scrolls Online took a page out of World of Warcraft book and made it possible for anyone with any computer can basically run the game decently. Its very optimized.
Star Wars ran like shyt
on my computer and ive always had a computer in the range of good to top of the line. It ran horrible on most people computer and the combat was not smooth. Elder Scrolls Online combat is smoother.
People looking at Elder Scrolls Online like the sequal to Skyrim (even tho it takes place 1000 years before
) but by the looks / UI / game play and are familiar with the story from a gaming perspective
Elder Scrolls Online
will be 2nd highest selling MMO of all time the ONLY issue they will have is can they keep peoples attention long enough to keep resubscribing every month. It wont go F2P just cause of the set up (its 1 mega server, Star Wars had multiple servers and many of them low pop). So they only have to maintain that and if they keep 500+k subs (which they can I think) they'll still be good.
What might actually end up killing em is consoles ironically.. even though Skyrim on console outsold Skyrim on PC (not 100% sure). It will sell well first initially but I dont think the console crowd ready to drop $15 a month for a game
or ready for a MMO as a whole.
Which sucks cause this game is tailored towards console play (the UI is garbage for PC MMO standards
thankfully we get addons) but if it ends up flopping there, then all the dumbing down of the PC version was all for nothing
Elder Scrolls Online is off to a good start, but we'll have to see 3-4 months down the line it will tell evreything
edit: when I mean dumbing down I mean the interface.. The end game of this game is on some Dark Souls shyt
If you dont block 1 hit you dead
this by far highest skill curve MMO ive ever played
I got 2 shot by a boss in a level 35 dungeon
Let alone level 50
I shytted on this cause of the price but I gotta try it anyway.
reviews(so far) are mixed...
