Elder Scrolls Anthology Now Available

Won't be playing this. For me the whole point of an RPG is OFFLINE for 50-100hrs of fun. I refuse to pay $180 to pay for a year on top of probably a $50-60 game price...LOL. So what is that $240 game? Only fools pay for this crap, I hope everyone just decides to never play these again and boycotts them until they quick making them. I want single player & lan for friends, nothing more (or one of us being a server and friends playing using my ip etc - like running a quake server or unreal etc...No servers at some company). Online games suck up too much of your time (you must be fairly dedicated to get anywhere), and have far too many punks and kiddies to deal with. No thanks.

You don't like MMO as a genre so this product is not for you... talk about likes or not is pointless man grow up.

FPS mechanics vs Target, Cast Spell, Roll dice.

Skill vs Luck.

You are aware that FPS stands for First Person Shooter, right? Thus you are implying a game such as Borderlands.

I'm going to assume you meant action RPGs, which feature real time dynamic combat rather than just box clicking and waiting for casting bars to fill up. Action RPGs like Phantasy Star. Which are like my favorite genre ever, but fail miserably in the US.

I think the sad truth is that the majority of American gamers just don't have the patience for these kinds of games. They want point-and-shoot-and-win games like CoD or auto-fight-auto-win games like WoW.

If you want an online RPG that is much more focused on skill than on luck, I very highly recommend Monster Hunter (which, surprise, isn't that successful in America, either).

I know what FPS stands for jabroni.

I play elder scrolls in first person view, like everyone should. I even shoot arrows in this view, satisfying your narrow definition of the term. Although you could have a melee only FPS, as melee attacks can be argued to be a projectile attack of limited range.

The abrevation you are looking for is FPP a First Person Perspective it describes view mode. and FPS is very much specified sub-genre of FPP games.
Quake 3 is FPS but Elder Scrolls / WoW / Chivalry and so on just have FPP view camera.

Indication that you are playing FPS would be:
1. You have some sort of gun,
2. You are locked in FPP view when playing.

It's narrow by definition. Same like RPG.

At least you shouldn't have to worry about game save corruption lol... I play Skyrim with a lot of mods, still kind of learning, and for a time, I was troubleshooting more than actually playing lol... I already have the last 3 w/ all expansions, but I'm interested in seeing how the MMO turns out.

Most of the comments talk like they already know if the unreleased elder scrolls online is good or bad.
Because the game can be:
Focus at online pvp competition.
Kill the same monsters again and again like diablo 3, that i don't like.
Or complex mechanism with a stupid story or children story.
Or have a big world but with filled with the same things, like minecraft (example for the world).
Or have an already know world from previous games without any new additions.
Or be a good game(for me), with a good story, new cultures and buildings, new areas, a simple character build but at the same time with a very large options of abilities, spells, items, and not repetitive, and the feel like "i'm different, i'm at this world, i can change it".

We don't know yet.
But i think most of us won't like the price $15/month and the typical mmorpg character evolution(don't know but is expected to be): very slow, many hours, and because of that becomes repetitive too.
