Two big problems with the combat for me were the horrible unresponsiveness. I would literally swing, in 1'st person right on the mob, and nothing would register. I would swing and swing and swing, literaly standing right on them, and nothing. Then the game would hiccup, and actually register the swings.. With zero lag going on.. and this is a very common complaint among testers. This stuff is not ok for a game that's been in development for what? 6 years or so now?

Then the lock on for abilities.. One of the best parts of a TES game was walking into a dungeon, pulling out your bow and just shooting. RPG met FPS.. instead they go with the usual lock on targeting system. So whoever said the combat feels like playing Morrowind or Skyrim or any other TES game needs to go back and actually play a TES game.. because it feels nothing like it.

Charector models are pretty good, on par with Skyrim if not maybe better. The environments didn't pop out at me like the other games do, but graphics aren't everything I suppose.

If you like Skyrim.. you should just play Skyrim IMO. I know I will never sway anyone right now with rose colored glasses on, and that's fine. But don't be shocked when this game tanks a few months after release and everyone turns around and says "told you".

I'll leave it with that. Not much point in saying much more. It's FFXIV 1.0 all over again... maybe in a year they will fess up and revamp it.. or maybe they will pull a miracle pre-release and make this a game. I know I wont waste any more time on it.
