3:00 this is probably the best thing to point out, ESO handles just about everything as if it were a single player TES game. Use any weapon, any skill, go anywhere, do anything, any time you want. Instead of the linear progression you'd find in traditional MMOs, you'll find that ESO is more of a radial progression. No matter which direction you run, you will always be improving and progressing something.

Man, it's so refreshing to hear a recent review from somebody completely new to the game. I've been playing this for years (left WoW at the start of BfA) and to be honest my main focus (pvp) has been getting stale for me, yet I always find something else to do. The amount of hours and gold I've put into housing is staggering. Housing is the true endgame of ESO with people spending big bucks to get all the new expensive houses and create absolutely insane things. I hope you delve a bit into this aspect of the game. ESO is the game I play whenever I'm not playing something like Elden Ring.
Oh hell yeah. I’ve been thinking about playing elder scrolls online again but i have been tentative. This video shall decide for me. I trust your opinion.
There is nothing like playing it yourself to decide if you want to keep playing it. Depending on your patience level, you could #1 wait for the next FREE to play week ( usually Nov or Dec) #2 look for a Base game sale ( generally from $8 to $20 U.S.) or #3 just buy the latest chapter If you buy the latest chapter ( Gold Road) just be aware of which one you're getting!! Check the content!!
If you have a xbox live gold subscription it's free thanks to gold being converted to gamepass core which includes eso for free and you can earn 250 reward points a week just for playing eso 5 days a week
ESO is easily the most underrated MMO to date. If you have ever played an Elder Scrolls game you have to experience ESO! Not perfect by any means but it’s an absolute blast!
ESO is a really great game! Even when I was all in on WoW I still kept up with ESO every time new content came out. It’s enjoyable if played as a single player game or like the mmo it is. Hope u stick with it!
Hey meta goblin; love wow and eso :). May i suggest trying to weave light attacks between abilities, you will like the combat even more it lets you cast spells faster. Weave a heavy attack if you are out of resources; staffs regen mana melee weapons / bows stamina
love the video mate ,its the sort of game u can just dive back into after a years break and just have to grind like 3 sets for a week and u back up to speed
My only complaint about ESO is that there's no real auction house and that if you want to trade you gotta go through the greedy cabal of trading guilds that you either join them or you don't sell stuff but other than that ESO is fun.
The combat looks like it's frantic and will give me even more RSI than I have already! WoW is kind of relaxing that way and it's a huge part of its appeal levelling and farming.
I may return to streaming on here when I'm trying new MMOs I'm just not happy with the video quality when streaming. When I record offline there much less pixilation and it's 2k.
11:45 this is the BIGGEST THING MISSING IN WOW, scaled content all of it, I know they have it for 1 to 60 but it should be the way eso does it like one Tamriel. If I make a toon in wow it would be best if I could go all over like you can in eso and make your own story or way.
There was instance where chests had lines of people waiting to loot for an artifact drop in Murkmire. Was right after DLC release with that new artifact.
Long time eso player here. Already retired from the game due to the fact that the end game reward system has been directed towards new players.. So for endgame player the grind is just gone. You can get almost all the items as a noobie. Back in the day you had to try hard to get to the good stuff. There are perfected version of gear items which nowadays don't do any feelable difference. Don't get me wrong, I still do believe the combat is better than in any other mmo game. I just wish they would pay closer attention to the end game community which has been heavily neglected for a couple of years now.
played heavily from 2017-2020 and now getting back into it this year with a new class. it's wild how much content there is to do and almost all of it is good and fun. it's also the only way to experience most of the Elder Scrolls universe in our lifetime, because Bethesda will never get around to ES6
I literally play wow normal and eso back and forth kinda the only main games I play both are wonderful and awesome both have what the other doesn’t in terms of game play, BOTH GAMES can learn a lot from one another to make both even better!
needs a difficulty setting, overworld content is just too easy. before someone says "just do the hard instanced content" that is not what i want. i want to be engaged in the story of the game and its just not possible when you can fight each boss naked
One of the things you touched on is the difference maker to me. The questing... WoW is a better games hands down, but ESO questing is so good I create new characters just to do it over again.
I may be biased as I've been playing this game a little over 10 years now if you include the Beta, but ESO is better then WoW, in my opinion. I really love this game, it's such an immersive experience. Could it be better? Sure. Is there things WoW does better then ESO? Of course. But that doesn't take away from the absolute journey it is to play this game.
@@brianherrera1390 That still requires someone to level 1849 times... Like dont you hear yourself? I was around CP500 before the rework and i quit shortly afterwards. It might be more balanced now but upgrades and level ups just feel so much worse in my opinion.
I’ve been playing since console launch and out in probably close to 15k hours. I haven’t touched story content in years and mostly focus on raiding and pvp so that’s all I know. There’s a ton of great things about the game HOWEVER the “end game” community just gets tossed to the side and pvp is the worst spot it’s been since I’ve started
The wonderful thing about ESO is if you dont like one aspect move on to another. When Elswyer came out I was in a progression guild and we started on Sunspire. After getting the Trifecta, I got on discord and had a heart to heart with the guild leader. Up shot is, I help them learn Trials in PTS and will run in the live server once Vet... 3 yrs ago most of that guild left ESO, I on the other hand had moved to runniing more PvP than PvE.. After Greymoore came out I remembered how much I love questing and I started balancing Questing and PvP. With Gold Road, I've been doing more Dungeons and Trials, because they've become fun again. In a long winded way, I'm saying if it's not fun.. Stop doing it and find something else that is.
Honestly nobody gives a sh*t, but i think it's kinda redundant for a new player to tell new players about a game they obviously researched but only the most basic of components of the game. He left out lycanthropy and vampirism which is a nice addition to the skill set (can only choose one at a time though)... he left out the dark brotherhood and the blade of woe.... he left out the theives guild... and much much more. I didn't see much about crafting either which is another big component of the game. Not sure why though... 🤷♂️
Anyone in Australia should skip this one... Despite the millions they've earned from the most dodgy micro transactions they've still not created an oceanic server... yet they still advertise here like it's a playable product.
No: *Way too easy open world *Level scaling *Terrible combat *No proper World PvP, and Cyrodiil is a lagfest not prioritized by the devs *Basically retail WoW level of sociability; no one talks outside of guilds *Terrible, greedy cash shop
Why do you people keep citing “terrible combat” as though your personal opinion on the combat is an objective fact? And world PvP isn’t mandatory for an mmo.
@@zedorian6547 Exactly, it's a personal preference, one that is shared by many in this case. Having to animation cancel to optimize DPS, and having your character look like he has spasms or a seizure doing it, is not a good thing, imo. As for world pvp it's an entire game mode for someone like me, and something to work towards (optimize gear etc.) and do in the endgame. Doing scripted stuff in PvE gets stale eventually.

Whenever I quit WoW I go to ESO and the opposite.

Glad you're diversifying bro, wow wasn't going to make you go the full distance
My issue is animations are pretty lack, makes the game less enjoyable, but granted typical player is fans of the OG games
I liked it however quit due to Aus latency 300ms and -40% dps amount due to the latency preventing melee weaving.
Played ESO back when they had veteran levels, on a Mac...lmao. Good times with good friends back then :(
Weapons with classes and race doesn't really matter until you get into the real hard vet content.
If it wasnt for ESO's egrigous monetization system of inconvencing you just to sell the convenience back id probably have played it a lot lot more
needs a difficulty setting, overworld content is just too easy. before someone says "just do the hard instanced content" that is not what i want. i want to be engaged in the story of the game and its just not possible when you can fight each boss naked

Dang ur game looks good any mods or enbs?
....not everyone running the same build....meanwhile Oakensorcs and Arcs lol we do have a meta but fun video :-)
Under camera settings turn screen shacking to 0
I love ESO. Its my main “in between” mmo when I need a break from Final Fantasy XIV or Dragon Quest X.
Please do more ESO content!!!
Dude please do lotro if youre gonna do this!
Started lotro for the first time last week on the new servers
@@pez6905same haha
I've done it ruclips.net/video/5l0ZWySqD60/видео.html
As a ESO player with over 7k hours im missing the negative aspect of the Game. Waiting for your deep dive
I play a nexromancer Stam vamp/WW switching builds and DK ww and Sorc WW and Templar ww obviously I like wolves and vamps lol
To anyone considering delving into this game, don't make your decision based on this beginner's first impression. Do a little more research.
Elder scrolls has something for everyone that will irritate the heck out of them. But it does has its moments.
I liked ESO but the game is too damn easy
Wait until you play pvp or veteran dlc content, hardest game ever🔥

played guildwars 2?
ESO is one of only a few games in my 'rotation'.
Truly a great game💯
i should give this a go but the combat and animations always makes me stop. /shrug
try Guild Wars 2 plz 😊
This week upload soon
@@MetaGoblin omg so maybe it can be it :D
ESO is super fun, but the after they did the word scaling the game is way too easy, mobs die in 1 tap, made the game boring.
Wanted to add that this is a super late game problem, i have 1200 hours in the game, i recommend anyone trying it.
I do wonder if you know that ESO has over 3.000 levels before you are at max level xD
But CP 1800 will be enough for everything.
@@brianherrera1390 That still requires someone to level 1849 times... Like dont you hear yourself?

ESO is fun for the first 50-100 hours then you start hitting trials dummys to try to optimize your dps and get into trials then it becomes boring
Cyrodiil was is the best open world pvp zone ive ever played, thats the real endgame imo
