anyone not like Oblivion?

Well I bought oblivion yesterday, and I've only played it for about 1-2 hours ( i know it's not a lot) but I don't seem to like the game that much. It looks really good and I haven't gotten into the story that much. I find it really confusing right now, with all the magic, skills, I'm not really sure what to do most of the time, and i get lost.

well do any of you have felt the same way with any game before? and did after learning how to play and stuff  did you start liking the game?

I figure I'll just keep playing it for right now and see if i could get into it.

ohh and before people say why did i get it in the first place, it was because of all the good reviews I had read. 

I also had that at first, I was like ''Dude, wth? Where do I go? What do I buy? Theres so much stuff, HALP PLX!'' but after a while, you'll know how the game works and stuff, in 1 - 2 hours you can't do alot of stuff in the game, if you play it alot you advance alot and then it becomes addictive.

 Or maybe you don't like the genre of the game. :/

Only thjing i hate about it is the frame rate. Terrible terrible framerate. Worse than splinter cells, yet that game still continues to take more heat for its framerate. I don't get it. Still a good game though.

I dont like those type of rpgs at all, Epic Jrpgs are where the greatness is atbigLLL

agree wholeheartedly.

The game is garbage, pure and simple. Vampyronight

You have to be kidding me.

I can understand not liking the fact that it's not a traditional RPG, but your statement is just plain ridiculous. 

Having played Morrowind on PC, it was easy to get into, but I've always got the feeling this game is waaay easier than Morrowind was. The fact it gives you directon markers, and fast travelling takes a little bit from the exploring aspect, the sitstriders were moer realistic in the context of the game.

for the most part ive enjoyed it, however the one thing for me thats really annoying is the characters voices, its seems that there are about 5 people doing the voices of every character and they dont try and vary it a little. everyone sounds the same and it starts to get on my nervesP-Shug

 Did you also notice that the continuity of their speech style can change throughout conversations sometimes? You might begin a conversation with a sort of withering begger but if you possibly ask about a rumour or something their style of speech shifts to a completely different accent.

yeah ive noticed that. with how huge the game is, youd think theyd invest a little more time in the audio department.

When I first got Oblivion on 360 I hated it.  I didn't understand how things worked at all.  I put it away and didn't pick it up again for another 2 months.  I ran out of games to play so I picked it up again and actually read the manual and I started playing.  I played through the main quest line and loved it.  I started another character and played through again concentrating on magic, then I gave it 1 more go and played through as an assasin.  Total hours on 360 about 120.

When it was released for PS3 and the reviews said it looked and performed better I had to buy it.  I'm about 50 hours in and I've completed all the guild quests, the arena, and have just started on the main quest line.

Do I like Oblivion?  HELL NO!  I love it, it's the best game ever imo!

The game is garbage, pure and simple. There are no real choices in the game (outside of "accept this quest or don't accept it") and frankly, it's not an RPG.Vampyronight

I agree with this guy. This is the most boring game I've ever played. And I just don't see the great graphics I heard everyone talking about, the open field you run through is seemingly the same animations for miles - Boooring. I'm glad I only rented this game with a free coupon. Imo this is just a graphically enhanced last generation game, not ready for next gen material. Bring on Heavenly Sword and Uncharted, I'm ready to play B3yond.

Read my review on the game. The game is an ok game that has some good graphics OUT doors, the in door ones are just so-so.

The worst thing is the animation though, I can't fathom how bad they are.

The complex character advancement is good, but perhaps too advanced and complicated for regular gamers. And the story.. well, it was a drag and not very interesting. (name one character that's interesting in the story please, if you think the story is interesting).

 It's an MMORPG with one person, and I felt asleep a few times when I played it because although the outside world are very pretty, almost NOTHING happens outside. Every thing happens inside of some caves or rooms, and those places are just bland and sometimes bad.

So over all, if you are heavily into Western rpg, it's a good game. If you aren't, huh... the game is just so-so.

i was excited at first but after 4 hours i got really bored and i completed a lot in 4 hours it's a great game it just was'nt for me so i sold that piece of crap

I have never played an american styled RPG before, but the freedom of this game as well as the reviews made it the only game I have bought for the ps3. (played the demos of both resistance and motorstorm and got bored within five minutes). I really like it, though for me the idea of being able to play a game in a universe however you feel in whatever order is what makes the game addicting.

To really make myself sound like a dork, I think the reason I like the game so much is that it's like D&D without having to gather a group of people together to play. I am an RPG fanatic anyways and as far as I am concerned, an epic JRPG with a decent story hasn't come out since FFX, so this new experience makes up for the shoddy writing coming out o' Japan lately.

agree wholeheartedly.

yea that game is just to slow paced for me now ennough attacks i cn do wi thte sword (combos) 

I dislike the game. (when compared to what reviewer's gave the game)

Sure it's got an impressive amount of little nuances that give the game character, but it brings nothing new to the RPG lineup of games.

 Randomly pushing a stupid sword slash button and an occaisional spell is not enough action in combat. Conversations with NPCs that point out obvious to-do lists is about as much fun as talking to my wife.

Lets hope game reviewers's get serious and set the bar a little higher instead of rewarding a slight step ahead of last generation copies  with high ranking numbers. This game cost me $59. It was a $40 game at best.

I didn't like it at first, but then after a few hours I got into it. Now it's kinda boring, because the game is pretty huge and I'm stuck at this one part and I just don't feel like playing it anymore I may sell it.

I played Oblivion for the majority of a day the week it was released for 360. Amazing graphics and pretty fun gameplay, but it wasn't really my thing.

I'm kinda on the fence with this one.. I don't really like or dislike it..

I was def lost in the begginning but the more you keep looking at the menu and figuring out what each part is for the more you like the game. Once you get out of the sewers just activate the quests and your compass and map tells you where to go. You will get it down sooner or later. And you wont put it down 

I don't really like it. It's pointlessly to big, to many dungeons with no rewards. Guards who try to arrest you when you commit theft, even tho no one saw you. Stupid level up system that dosen't work cos your enemy levels up with you... I could go on.hi_rev_kev

i agree with you, it is much larger than it should of been.  instead of making tons of identicial looking dungeons, oblivion areas, and wilderness, thay should of made a smaller much more unique world.  people always praise oblivion for its massive size, but any game could be massive if it used the same dungeon twenty times with slightly different enemies.
