Usually, when I talk about an EVE-type game, I mean "a single-world PVP game based about territorial control of resources".
Right, with some PVE for those that enjoy it, just like EVE.

I would love it if the world looked a little like this.

The bullshit I am talking about is your relentless attacking of everything. There is no reason for anyone to take you seriously on MMOs anymore. ESO could have the combat responsiveness of WoW and you would still shit on it based simply on your grudge against the developers. Even moderate praise by a gamer that they like ESO leads to you immediately andwithout evidence calling them full of shit.So even when I agree with you that combat responsiveness is important, I don't want you on my side because you are simply too biased to convince any independent person of anything.

Please stop being Utnayan, Utnayan. It bothers me that Draegan attacks DMK for foaming at the mouth in this thread but for some reason you are off limits. It is absurd.
Hey Khalid, what was that? I was fucking right all along? Go crawl back in your hole. And next time don't question your fucking master. I will always know more than you. Fucking. Always. Get used to it in 2014 because it will happen again and again.

Superannuation has been a known industry insider for many years. More to the point and what's sad is that I don't find this surprising at all.

Edit: Also lol @ my icon. That got changed without doing anything on my end but it is what I use on most forums.

Also settle down Utnayan, that shit is pathetic.
What's pathetic is that asshole following me around like Norman bates on a meth bender. The guy uses that same old "utnayan shit on this" when I post the truth. He deserves the crow. Every single time. Not quoting that and not telling him to fuck off after all the shit the fucker gave me would have been pathetic.

Anyone know exactly how much Bethesda is on the hook for the production? how much investment is from them?

Bethesda will sell boxes and recoup their initial investment. The brand name is a juggernaut, and they have the console kids on their side.

What they won't get back is their reputation if this releases in as bad a form as it was when I last played it.

Yeah, I'm calling BS on that one. They need millions of box sales and a retention rate that doesn't abandon the game in a month. This is going to be a bomb of epic proportions and no IP is going to save it. Zenimax is going to have fun recovering from this.

They very well might not recover if the loan information is even close to accurate. Frankly, they don't deserve to be making games with the way this one was run.

Found some interesting stats about Skyrim. How many of these 20 million gamers read neogaf/mmorpg.com/ign/whatever and will base their decision to buy based on a review?

Skyrim units sold in the first 48 hours 3.5 million
Skyrim units sold in the first week release 7 million
Skyrim sales in the first week of release $450 million
Total Skyrim units sold 20,270,000
Total Skyrim sales revenue $1,290,000,000

P.S. Shit got at least 28% more boring here without internets. Fact.

Even if they don't read about games on the Internet, their friends will surely let them know how shit the game is. Let's be real, though. I think the audience interested in an online game is far more prone to check for information about a potential purchase.

This game has none of the hype or good word of mouth that Skyrim did. It won't get near the same kind of sales.

Hey, guys, I don't wanna freak anyone out, but the local Gamestop guy is pretty sure this will bust $1 billion in sales, in like the first month or so. They are girding their loins.

We all said that about the Xbox One, we were wrong.

Well if someone at Pawnstop says it, it's probably legit! I think the game will do well from the IP alone. Every MMO has been enjoyable for me just for the opening few months with that new mmo smell. Retaining that playerbase after 3 plus months is a different story.
