Aaaaand, just like that I am no longer interested in this title.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I'll be playing Skyrim LE and Oblivion GOTY till this goes F2P. Bethesda and their lame excuses ... And people bitch about 60? This is murder lol



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS


Nooo :(. I went from absolutely getting it, to getting it depending on my backlog.



It's about the same as the remainder for me: for a sub? No, thank you.

It's hilarious to see how many people are going to back for Bethesda for this. It's not because they think that the game will be worthwhile, but every time a company 'dares to buck the trend'? Yeah, people come out of the woodwork to claim that THIS one, this particular game, will be the line where P2P makes its stand and comes back against the tide of F2P games. They turn this thing into some kind of Braveheart analogue that they are fighting the good fight.

Sadly, it will probably end up being very similar to The Old Republic. Big first month, horrible after that. Maybe Zenimax is figuring that selling over 12 million Skyrim copies will translate into millions of MMO users who will pay per month to get at the game. Yet that doesn't usually translate near as well. Not even Blizzard is remaining with the sub model: WoW is a sub, but they've already announced that Titan won't be. So, we are one MMO generation off of one of the most influential MMO companies in the world going ahead and moving to a F2P or B2P option. Not to mention with WoW losing people hand over fist, there could be the possibility that when they get low enough, they might consider the jump themselves.

All in all, I don't think they're doing themselves any favours. I'll be waiting until this goes F2P before I consider trying it out.

Why are people so against subscription fees? I'll never understand this.

because we need a brand new 400$ system, and pay 50$ a year for online, and 15$ monthly (180 bucks a year) to be able to play this. that's WAY too much money

or you could buy it on PC where it's just $15 a month.

Hell, buy it on PS4 because MMOs aren't behind a paywall.



They should have just stick with single player. I don't mind paying for the rip off add ons. Making elder scrolls paid mmo can be its downfall.
