I love it, but many others complain that it's terrible or it's just another World of Warcraft clone. Since I've never played WoW, I don't know if that's true or not. My recommendation would be to watch gameplay videos on youtube. If you like what you see, and the reviews don't discourage you, perhaps you should get it. If not, oh well.

Obviously it would be better if you know someone in real life that's got it. Seeing it in person or playing it yourself for a few minutes would be the best way to decide. But I realize that this isn't always possible. I don't know any ESO players in real life, so I don't know what I would've done without the beta.

That being said, I don't know how well this game would work for console. The game would work perfectly with a controller. I was planning on getting it on console for that very reason, but I just got used to the mouse and keyboard during the beta. Since I've never played either of the new consoles, or any MMO on a console, I can't say what would be best. I will say that ESO runs beautifully on my PC. The graphics are stunning and it's easier for my PC to handle than certain other games (SWTOR in particular). If your computer isn't ideal for playing games though, a console is probably the better route. Just remember that you'll have to buy the subscription for ESO and pay for xbox live if you get the game on the xbone.
