ESO reviews, it's time to start questioning them

I've already put this up on the ESO main forums and got a bit of drama. But putting it up here as well for any others interested

This is a call to arms to start challenging the stock, generic, and idiotic reviews that ESO has been given. I don't have issues with bad reviews on ESO where it's due, but as I've been streaming and promoting the game to friends I keep hearing the same thing about "the reviews say it's horrible" and other idiotic crap.

A lot of these reviews seem to be vague or inaccurate based on other popular youtube videos based on their beta experience (big surprise that the game was changed as part of the beta feedback) and reviews based on other MMOS (seriously, there is no cash shop or XP boosters, where the hell does this come from?!)

I'm not asking for stock "good" reviews to be put up, but for reviews that are dated back to June or July, start to ask them if they have seen the updated content. If your upset with the game you're more than welcome to post that as well, but let's be clear and honest about the issues, not generic when complaining it's "a generic MMO". In the cases where it's down right ***, call them out on it. Up vote or down vote reviews that you feel are accurate I'd you don't want to go as far writing something down.


A few questions to ask
- What level did you get to?
- What quests did you play?
- Did you explore?
- Did you play in PVP?
- Did you rate this as a single player RPG (skyrim) or as an MMORPG (wow, guilwars2, etc.)
- When did you play? Only Beta?
- Did you see updates with: dye system, craglorn, trials, dungeon scaling, face animations, champion system, justice system, other things in the road ahead presentation?
- If you had issues with something, did you contact support or post on the forums? What did they say?
- Have you checked out any twitch streams or updated youtube videos with gameplay footage at high level or after you left?

A few sites with reviews (that you can still respond or rate)
Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/306130/?snr=1_702_7__13
MMORPG: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/821/Elder-Scrolls-Online.html

GameSpot: http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/the-elder-scrolls-online-review/1900-6415741/

Hopefully something a little more truthful will come out of this. Please link or comment below with ESO review sites. Thanks for your time folks

For that reason I really hated the fact I can't post on steam, I like using steam for most of my gaming and because of how ZoS has it set up, I can't post a review or anything. I don't "own" the game through steam so I can't use it.

It's also where I get the majority of my reviews and information.

You can still up vote or down vote in steam, and comment on reviews, as well as report on them
