TES Legends: Sooner than we think--?

  • April 4, 2016

    That's what we think, but we'll show up to play the game and it'll be lagging worse than playing Baldur's Gate on an iPhone   It can really depend on what graphics/effects they add, I know a few of the TCG for IOS/Android can actually be a bit of a strain, especially if it's buggy...Which we all know ESL will be. I know I've had problems with some of the fancier looking ones.

    My problems with Hearthstone can all be chalked up to the fact that a) luck and b) it really isn't that user-friendly. The mechanics are simple, but it's just such a boring game, there's no real strategy to it compared to say Magic the Gathering or even the Pokemon TCG or Yu-Gi-Oh...Sometimes the more in-depth gameplay systems are needed to make a cardgame fun. 

    Oh, and I feel stupid...But when is E3, my mind keeps saying July but I don't trust that asshole so.. :P

    My best guess is that E3's later this year.

    Well as long as the time on each turn isn't too short it won't really matter if there's a little or even moderate lag, but yeah I can see it now cards sliding onto the field and then back into your hand and then back to the field because the server can't decide where it is

    Damn, I thought we were going into the E3 of Christmas Past this time, what a boring event  Well apparently it's June 14th-16th or I'm guessing 15th-17th for us.

    I'm going to assume (hope) that it works well enough, and I doubt it'll be too laggy but there's always a chance when these damn dastardly developers are around.

    I don't even know what it is.

    It reminds me of WoW too, which I actually do not love. I was hoping for something closer to what we see in game, or at least a different type of style. 

    If they announce backwards compatibility at E3, I will seriously lose my shit. Honestly, I hope for that even more than Legends. I doubt it will happen though. Must keep hopes in check.

    Yeah the whole thing has been very shrouded in mystery so it was cool to catch even this little snippet. That's why I'm sort of thinking we could see it as soon as E3. Or at least, it's not out of the realm of possibilities.

    Yeah, even though I´m not too overly fond of these types of games, certain things like Dueling Network for Yu-Gi-Oh not withstanding, this could be interesting

    I think there's a fair chance that they might pull the same stunt as with Fallout: Shelter - a cool promo at E3 and then the announcement that it will be in the App Store at midnight.

    And I won't mind that one bit, because I'm really looking forward to this game. The idea of taking 'everything Elder Scrolls' and applying it to a completely new mechanic is a super-cool idea. Can't wait...

    Apart from the Khajiit I agree. It is too... different. Could that be because Adam Adomowizcz passed away? Or they want to distance themselves from the style of Skyrim in order to remain fresh?

    I wonder if we will see some of Ray Lererer's familiar style?
