I'm not going to be giving my money to such a greedy company like Zenamax. Locking races behind paywalls, 60$ game +15$ subscription and many more issues I have with the way the developers have handled this game. 

Also, don't misquote me, as I was wondering if you have played many. Do you not understand the simple concept of a question mark? That's kinda hilarious.

I usually don't engage in arguments / bantering on this forum as its a waste of time, but your response was "You haven't played many I assume." That's an obvious alogation that I don't know what I'm talking about because I like the game. It implies that I'm a noob to MMO's. Which isn't the case. The general consensus is the game is pretty damn fantastic. Sure there's some people that aren't enjoying it but that every game. In fact here's some glowing praise for you.

But that's my last post in this thread. Just decided to give my input since this a thread focusing on the review for a game. (Which in general is getting some pretty high scores, in fact I think the review you posted is the most negative one I've ever seen for the game by far)

I'm sure there are people out there that enjoy it, but the majority are saying that it's not a great game. A good one, but not great. There's been quite a few reviews that have a similar or a tad bit higher score than Joe's, and I shall provide you with the ones on Metacritic.

Even the user score on metacritic is a 6.5/10. You can say that it's just trolls giving it a 0, but I'm just telling you what I see. The critic score is a 78, a far cry from the usual scores an Elder Scrolls game usually receives. Again, I'll wait for the F2P version.

Mmo's dont usually get that good of scores right away.  They are constantly evolving and most generally have pretty rough launches.  A lot of the reviews are docking for bugs, but those will get ironed out in time.  

it isnt comparable to a typical elder scrolls game, its an mmo.  You compare it to other games in the genre.  High 70 low 80 is pretty typical of an mmo at launch.  

Also, if you are waiting for it to go f2p, you probably are never going to play it.  Just sayin...
