Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the gameplay, citing it as fabulous and fun with excellent graphics. Many also appreciate the vast amount of content and the expansive open world, although some experienced occasional lag depending on internet connection. While the story is considered good, a persistent concern is the requirement of an internet connection to play.

    Pretty Decent MMO

    Do yourself a favor and buy this on PC. PROS: The game has held true to the Elder Scrolls lore, continuing the story onward in the same style as all previous games. Zenimax is now using a Free-Play-After-Onetime-Purchase model, which is nice. For those that want free access to all upcoming DLC packs, you can pay a monthly subscription fee. For those that don't have a subscription, just pay some real-time money to purchase the DLC. CONS: If you buy this game for PS4, be warned!!! Sony requires you to buy a $50/year Playstation Plus membership in order to play online MMOs. That is the only way you are going to play the game on the PS4. Additionally, Zenimax borrowed heavily from other games for their MMO, so don't expect anything original that you won't see in another MMO that was out there long before ESO. I have yet to find a single original system in this game.

    There is no subscription for the game however you must pay for ps4 online service. Tons of missions some are super easy others will give you a challenge. Takes a bit to get into the mmo feel coming from skyrim or the others in the series.

    For an online based game this is an exceptional value because there are no recurring subscription fees. A must buy for all Elder Scroll fans!

    This is an okay game. There's no subscription to play it, but you still have to pay to play. By pay to play I mean it's required to have a Playstation Plus account to play it which is kind of a bummer but it's understandable seeing as it is an MMORPG.

    I like the online aspect of it, but I don't necessarily play with others, so I dislike that I can't play it without having a subscription. I don't want to pay extra just to play it on my own.

    Lots of hours of play here, this game seems humongous. Content seems to be regularly added and best of all it does not require any subscription.

    Not worth buying

    The packaging says you have to have a PlayStation Plus account to play multi-player but does not specify that you must have this to play the game at all. My son wasted $20 on this game, only to find out that he needed a $60 subscription to play it. Unless you have already bought this expensive subscription for other reasons don't waste your money. If you attempt to contact Bethesda support you only get a link to contact media relations and it says only to use that email for media related purposes.

    The game would be great if it didn't require a ps plus membership to play... I would like to be able to buy a game and play it.

    I read reviews of the game. I am an avid Elder Scrolls player on PS3, and bought the PS4 to play the new game. I thought that "Online" meant you had the option, not the necessity to subscribe. I returned the game, and the PS4. Probably would have been great if I could have played offiline.

    First, it took 4 days to download the update before we could even get the game loaded. Then it requires subscription to the Playstation Network. Without the subscription there is nothing that can be played.
