ESO is the only reason im getting a PS4

Well when Zenimax was asked about Steam, they refused to answer either way. Saying something like "we haven't released distribution details yet."

You could be right, but I wouldn't bet on being able to play the game on Steambox until we know it supports Steam.

Skyrim is a different game made by a different studio. And its not an MMO.

Skyrim was bigger success on Steam than CoD, so that speaks something.. theres easily 2mill+ ES fan on Steam. I expect SteamBox gets own exlusive ESO offer.

That part is VERY debatable depending on the game.

For example, I personally detested playing Diablo 3 on the PC using the Mouse/Keyboard... but LOVE it on the Consoles as the controler just fits perfectly to its gameplay design and can perform any action instantly.

Likewise I find the reverse situation with FPS games. FPSes IMO should be played with Mouse/Keyboard only. Console FPS playing is just, well, aweful...

I got the Xbox One and im freaking stoked for this game and seeing how well both consoles are selling its getting me hyped that ESO is going to be big. Or well now it at least has a chance at getting big lol.

One of the reason why PC & Console players aren't on the same servers is probably game balancing.

Keyboard + mouse is way superior against a control pad.

I know some people are trying to disagree with this but yeah, it's

I doubt ZOS is willing to listen to the whining about PC players winning all the time.

Yeah, but like other have stated multiple times you can hook a keyboard an mouse up to the consoles so again it's irrelevant. Everyone has access to the same tools, minus add-ons for consoles maybe, which is a small thing anyway.

I have a PS4 already and I really enjoy it. For the PC guys I will also be buying a new gaming PC early next year.

I am glad it is not an either/or choice for me. Some game I really enjoy on the PC (Elder Scrolls Online will be one of those) and some games I like on the PS3 or PS4 (Games like MLB: The Show, The Last Of Us, The Uncharted Series, GTA).

There is no reason to look down on another platform just because it is not your platform of choice.

ESO will have some add-on's (aka mods). I never heard a console that can use mods. I will stick my PC games :cool: Consider this, when Fall Out 4 comes out, that game most likely can be mod'ed to death as well.

Correct, but UI mods only written in LUA.
