Are people recognizing ARR?

I would not worry too much about ESO. Sure they will probably win game of the year but thats because there are a lot of people that like that game for reasons that I can't figure out. I played Oblivion and Skyrim and was both times terribly disappointed at how easy they were to beat. I'm pretty sure the mmo version of those games will be better but I doubt the people who like those game the most surely do not know what they are missing if they have never played XI or XIV. I can bet my life the ESO will not be half the game ARR will be. I think Bethesda has a lot of work to catch up to SE as far as MMOS are concerned. Hopefuly in their online version of those games they have inproved the horrendous combat style or lack thereof and character creation because those things are just ridiculously horrible imo. Im also willing to bet that there will be lost of cheat codes that will render playing ESO pointless like there were on the console and pc versions. Also ESO from what I hear will be a huge cut and paste job as far as the world is concernned since they are stitching all the maps together from previous versions.

I've never played the console versions (of bethesda's games) because the PC version is superior (puffs chest out) - player mods make those games awesome, for years - even morrowind is still going. Not that ESO will have mods, but that would be why I think they are awesome - also loved exploring.

ESO's combat appears to have more native movement and action then ARR's - ESO's combat is heading the direction of Tera Online (there certainly are those who dont like action twitch skill oriented games, but I find more 'for' then those 'against').

They are attempting some other unique features like 'megaservers' as well, little 'facets' that are unique help draw in players even if they aren't actually that great (doesn't mean the game can retain players though - but it can mean ARR has a worse out of the gate run if something is in the way).

I don't think SE should discard ESO as harmless. Though thankfully / unthankfully a lot of SE players will be visual aesthetic nuts and ESO has little of that (some screenshots look great others look like giant piles of crap lol). Though I still think SE flora sucks and is hurting its aesthetics.. ESO's grass actually looks better..

Oh, ARR will be on PS3 and that is pretty much an exclusive opportunity for SE - still for PC players SE should be aware of ESO and any other up and coming MMOs (for their release date at least).

(Zenimax is working on ESO not bethesda btw)

Don't know about them so maybe it will be good. Unfortunately I can only afford to play one MMO timewise and I choose ARR.

ZeniMax Media is the parent company, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeniMax_Media .

So I guess more appropriately ESO is made by ZeniMax Online Studios, ESO being their first creation.

ESO is being helmed by Matt Firor who you may know from DAoC (Dark Age of Camelot) - Yoshi actually likes this game.

You can see ESO is working up the hype with all the dev talks and trailers, SE hype machine is a bit silent* - but they are also under different circumstance of having crashed previously and being foreign (doing anything requires an extra layer of work).

Edit: ESO website / hype is supporting EN / DE / FR.
Double Edit*: SE has a blog / +1 cookie

Skyrim was a bit overrated. It was fun for a minute, but there was so much hype over it and when I played it I was like "meh." It was insane that people looked forward to the bugs in the game.. "It's like a staple in the series." Really? Bugs.. Game ruining bugs are being praised?

"See that? We can half-ass a game and they love it because we pay reviewers to hype it!" Makes me sick..

I'd like to see some TV ads

[Zehira]

I have read MMORPG.com forums and didn't see any much of negative messages about the game at all but it's dying slowly. So, I checked GameSpot forums and yet it's still strong, however, some of them are still discussing that they hope the game doesn't turn out to be like XI all over again. Funny thing is... most of them have no idea what they are talking about.. =_=

If that's what you want to know... It sounds like many of them are excited.

LOL... Best laugh all day.

I am not sure an ad like that could be run in the US without getting sued.
