I was thinking it would once the added full controller support, if it comes to Steam OS for my console, it would be nice. Cool thing about STO is they have lifetime subscription plans which is nice!

 

Here is the Xbox link.

it's also a horriable game

As far as ground combat it's a horrible game, space combat is actually pretty good. I still play it when they release something new. I will admit though, I do like Q's Winter Wonderland ground stuff during the winter; kinda fun.

 

I saw that STO was coming to Xbone and PS4 and admittedly my reaction was "this isn't going to end well". I think it's a bad idea.

ESO works pretty well on consoles - I play that on xbox one and it's a solid game. Aside from relying entirely on voice chat it's also fairly identical to the PC game, and tbh the voice chat is done well enough that it isn't a problem (imo).

 

Personally I won't buy sto, and if the sub model is more restrictive than eso (wouldn't be hard) I don't see it doing well.

Don't think Ark owns ESO, however with STO you don't really need a subscription to enjoy All the PVE, they have a market to convert 7000 refined dilithium per day into ZEN, their store currency, and they have a credit cap of 500k but you can purchase the cap unlock with 500 Zen to acquire the 1Billion limit which everyone has including subscribers.

 

I really enjoy their space combat. But like someone else said their ground combat is a bit meh.

ESO was made for consoles then ported to the PC

Nope. ESO came out in spring 2014 for PC, and then on consoles over a year later (summer 2015).

ESO free (well.. buy to play, but the non subscriber version) is pretty decent actualy. sure you have to buy DLC's separately, but other then that content is completely unrestricted. moreover - you get the same amount of crowns per month for subscribing as you do if you just bought $15 worth and at the moment aside from DLC acess as long as you subscribe, the only perk is 10% added experience and gold acquisition. now, once new DLC comes out - subscription becomes a little more attractive due to crafting material bag being available to subscribers only, but even then its not even remotely as restrictive as SWTOR

 

that said, imo the biggest problem with MMO's on xbox or playstation is that you have to buy xbox gold or playstation plus to even be able to play. just internet connection is not enough.

ESO's still a very decent game glad it went B2p now instead of Subbed based tbh

They're also finally removing veteran ranks at the end of the month, and replacing them entirely with champion points which are earned across account. Will make alts a lot more feasible now that you don't need to spend 80-90 hours after hitting endgame just to use the best gear - 160 champion points in your account will essentially make all of your chars vet 16 now.

 

Also I like ESO's model as well - I only really care about pvp, so I bought imperial city DLC and ignored everything else without paying the subscription and it works out well for me.

oh thank god, people were worried they wouldn't remove the Vet ranks, yeah those are just way to much imo

"...however with STO you don't really need a subscription to enjoy All the PVE, they have a market to convert 7000 refined dilithium per day into ZEN, their store currency..."

Yes theoretically this game is free but to achieve something like for example min/max several k of dps you have to grind energy credits or pay real $ to gain power...it's fully p2w game/or eternal boring grindfest.

There are no real roles in their pve...dps is king and pvp was killed by devs long ago, many players ragequit this game...

If my current machine could handle STO, I'd still be there.

Ground combat in STO may suck, but (for me at least) that's what Star Wars is for. Star Trek is about space battles. Oh how I miss my Jem'Hadar Attack Ship

I like the story as ironic as that sounds, plus they have a lot of cool daily missions... In all I am happy just playing a few daily missions and some story content. I am not a max grinding type player, more so like the ships looks, and overal messing around. My hardcore days died in EQ over ten years ago thank god!

Final Fantasy A realm reborn works on consoles too as well as ESO. Also Star Trek online coming to PS4 And Xbox One later this year with controller support so if they can map keyboard and mouse to gamepad, pretty sure you could with SWTOR. Then like Final Fantasy you just redeem any time codes or subscriptions online. More consoles more subscribers more money. Edited June 19, 2016 by UchihaJediKai

right, because we take game advice from illiterates.

STO has what I wish SWTOR had for space combat. For ground? Yeah, it sucks. Combine SWTOR and STO into one game, it'd be one of the most amazing MMOs (or heck, even SPs) ever.

I'm surprised the game is still around, over 6 years old... not bad in the MMO world

Too bad it's pretty bad, otherwise I would have played more than an hour of two of it. I like the character customization, though.

Console gaming is already a joke

pretty much, I got the Steam OS console and their are few games it will run because its Linux based.. I hope more games cross platform to it after all there is a billion games on steam.
