1. The Elder Scrolls Online: 5
Reasons Why This Game is Already a
Failure

game-is-already-a-failure
As expected, The Elder Scrolls Online (TESO) is being reviewed as an average game. It’s not fiction.
It’s reality. There’s nothing new or special about this game and the flaws are endless. For starters,
the game lacks what’s truly essential. Instead of featuring Tamriel as a massive multiplayer
experience, it presents a standard MMO with The Elder Scrolls as its main theme. And it gets worse,
as nearly every system seems to be either incomplete or totally non‐intuitive. Instead of becoming
a legend among MMOs, TESO has become a despicable disappointment. Here’s the top five reasons
why this game is already a failure among gamers.
1. Next-Gen: Lack of Interactive and
Innovative Content

2. For a MMORPG releasing on next‐gen consoles, I think it’s natural to expect the game to include
next‐gen features. But that’s not the case. In fact, most of the features in TESO are nothing more
nothing less than existent concepts from old MMOs. High‐quality gorgeous graphics? Checked.
Lore questing and dungeons? Checked. Massive PvP? Checked. Extensive customization and
crafting systems? Checked. There’s absolutely nothing original in this game. Besides the whole
system is quite anti‐social and it forces players to journey by themselves, which is completely
unbelievable for a MMO title. The user‐interface is also too alternative and it lacks usability at
several levels. Finally, the whole idea of having a classless combat system is probably the most
original aspect of the game but even that has been explored before.
2. PvP System: Extremely Massive and
Imbalanced

3. The PvP system in TESO is an incredible tragedy. It has been awhile since I saw a paid MMO without
any kind of structured PvP system. I think the last one was Aion, five years ago. Now, the only PvP
option in this game is a huge map called Cyrodiil, where the three factions in Tamriel can massively
engage each other in order to obtain further land and bonuses. It seems exciting and fun at a casual
level. But anyone who enjoys player‐versus‐player knows that this is simply a measure of
entertainment and leisure. There’s too little skill or tactics involved. And the most successful
strategy is gathering the leargest army possible – numbers are everything in this super‐massive
battlefield and it generally leads to victory.
3. Economy: Completely Devastated by Exploits

4. TESO hasn’t even celebrated one full month of existence yet and its economy has been devastated
by a duping exploit. The bug was so easy and simple to use that normal players could do it
accidentally. Evidently, this unleashed chaos in‐game, since farming and item creation lost most of
its purpose. And even if Zenimax/Bethesda has already dealt with the issue by fixing the bug and
punishing most of the abusers, the result of their actions is still visible in every realm. The gold
generated from the duping allowed many to purchase or craft items that subsequently originated
other superior pieces. There’s simply no real way to track all the “illegal” production cycles that
have been creating tremendous deviations.
4. PvE: Back to the Old Days

5. The old days where mass grinding and eternal solo leveling were part of any MMO seem to be back
with TESO. Apart from dungeons and PvP, it’s basically impossible to group up and quest together.
Why? Well, TESO features an instanced system where players must do a great part of their quests
by themselves. Even if they’re in a group with players doing the same quests, they won’t be able
to share it because this instanced single‐player domain inside the global multiplayer world won’t
allow them to interact with each other. Also, quests can’t be repeated, which means players can’t
help their friends with quests that they’ve completed before. So ultimately, what’s the point of
going online if you can’t even quest with other people?
5. Pay-to-Play: The Bold Gold Mine of 2014

6. I think the most bizarre thing about TESO is the fact that you need to pay so much to experience
everything the game has to offer. First you need to pay 60$ to purchase a copy of the game.
Secondly, if you wish to unlock all the features in game, including the Imperial Race and the
Imperial Horse, then you need to spend an additional 20$ to buy the Collectors Edition. Lastly and
because TESO is a subscription based game, players will have to pay 15$ a month just to be able to
log in. I am sure gamers wouldn’t mind paying all this and much more for a game worth it, a game
with distinguishing content, next‐gen features and a remarkable gameplay. But the TESO
Zenimax/Bethesda has presented us is nothing but a shadow of a game that never came to be,
which inevitably, became a failure and a huge disappointment for everyone.
