I just bought an Xbox One last week with the Master Chief Collection and have been loving the nostalgia. I only wish my brother were with me so I could get him back for all the times he beat me in Halo 2! I also got Elder Scrolls Online which is really fun but I think I prefer Skyrim tbh.
I was so close to buying an One last week because I loved the Halo games, but then I just decided to wait and see how the reviews are for Halo 5 before I take the plunge. Also, is ESO easy to get into? I'm not a huge MMO person but I was thinking about giving it a try.
It kinda depends. Do you like the time and setting of the Elder Scrolls universe/open-world games? My first open world game I ever played was Fallout 3. Before that it was all Halo and CoD. I wasn't a big fan and dropped it after about a week because I didn't know what I was supposed to do/didn't know how MUCH I could do. That being said, I picked up Skyrim and played the hell out of it. So with Skyrim under my belt, for me, ESO was pretty easy to jump into albeit there are a few different mechanics that take some time to get used to. Also, I don't know if they have the deal anymore but when I got the One at Target I was able to get any game for it for free with the purchase, so if I didn't like it I wasn't losing much.
It's a lot of fun. The open world is gigantic, much bigger than Skyrim I think. And the side quests are amazing and almost always fully developed stories in their own right. It's definitely worth playing, but the world and story is much darker than Skyrim so just keep that in mind. Bad things routinely happen, and there are some seriously messed up creatures rolling around the continent. I highly recommend it.
Wow yeah that does sounds pretty awesome I'll have to give it a try. Skyrim was pretty huge. I've had it for three years or so now and though I don't play it much, in that time I don't think that I've been to every corner yet. There's just so much to it.
