The Elder Scrolls Online Gold Edition (Xbox One)

I stayed away at launch due to the membership costs, expensive initial price, and bad reviews of the game. It really missed a trick when it was launched, and gave a horrendous first impression of the new Zenimax Online studios.However, this game has since massively improved. I tried this game initially on Xbox Game Pass and fell in love with it! The monthly membership price has been removed (Still need Xbox Live), the initial price for the Gold edition was excellent, and they're still churning out new content like there's no tomorrow! The community is huge with so many people still online, and all the major launch bugs have been fixed (read: MAJOR, still buggy here and there).The game now heavily uses microtransactions to keep the game afloat in lieu of the forced monthly membership. However, these are NOT pay-to-win. You can easily go on by without these items (normally cosmetic), and they do still have a membership option (ESO Gold) that gives you some more options to use, and also grants you a monthly allowance of credits. If you collect the daily login reward, you'll soon find you don't actually need to purchase these, and so can happily go on without encountering this. As much as I hate to admit, the MTS has been pulled off well.Still not convinced? Check out Xbox Games Pass and try the base game edition before purchasing, and I guarantee MMORPG fans will be buying this Gold edition afterwards!This review doesn't extend to Fallout 76 at the moment. Clearly Zenimax Online enjoyed failing their launch and decided to fail again for the sake of it...

This is a game I did not buy when it came out because I knew it would need tweaking by Bethesda I can happily report with all the updates it has had this is now a game well worth buying and investing time in If you like any elder Scrolls games give it a try it is the type of game where the more you play the better it becomes

I love role playing adventure games absolutely love them, Fallout 4, Fallout 76 are my absolute favourites so I had hoped this would give me my fix. Its a similar engine to fallout, but I just cant get into it, it feels very dated by comparison and the text dialogues are a bit naff. it doesn't scale properly for newer players. So all in all I feel a bit let down by it :-( Sorry not for me

Seems like a good game never really got into it tho

Ok

Great game but found it was really rubbish that I need to have xbl gold just in order to play. Other than that, it's a great game and I love playing it

Great game! Awesome MMORPG for XO. Severs go down every now and again so can be annoying but usually brings a update with it.

Brilliant game came quickly too game play is amazing and intense needs a large space on the console
