Never enjoyed GTAs before. It feels like a higher-resolution copy of console games. Possibly mods? I don’t know.
ESO: Elder Scrolls Online. I had hoped for a better version like Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but online it felt off. I had nightmares about it... honestly, everyone I know who’s played over 200 hours of Skyrim can’t play ESO for more than a couple of hours straight—really let down. Plus, it’s (monthly) P2P, what’s up with Bethesda? Just simplify it—one payment instead of constant microtransactions.
I try to steer clear of the hype-machine. I let the game tell its own story and, if I’m genuinely curious about its earlier days, I look at reviews from people I respect, such as Total Biscuit. Those who speak honestly and aren’t shy about giving a bad review. Angry Joe, I also discovered he does a solid job distinguishing games. Thanks to this, I don’t usually get frustrated with titles from Ubisoft anytime soon, unless they fix their approach and stop focusing only on consoles.
Bethesda released the game alone, while ZeniMax handled development. ESO felt quite standard, lacking unique elements beyond the Elder Scroll branding.
Most AAA titles now generate massive excitement quickly. It’s simple to stay satisfied: understand companies must be honest about their products, steer clear of sensational news sources, and wait for a trusted review before spending money. If the game lives up to its promises, they’ll easily back it up. My only experience with Shadows of Mordor was negative feedback about the hype, which made me pleasantly surprised by how well it turned out.
