Okay, so i really need a new game in march. I need a game that will take a good ammount of time and have beautiful visuals....because i need to show my family what the ps3 is capable of. Well anyways, the ps3 is not gonna get any good games after march untill Summer...so i was thinking oblivion.

Now, i have never played an RPG before. I have played FFX but halfway through i stopped because the whole fighting system pissed me off. I am a HUGE fan of story. I love stories. That is why my fav game is MGS. All i mostly play are shooting games, so i thought oblivion would be good to get me out of that.

Tell me what you think i should do and what games you are getting in march.

Thanks in advance.

PS. i do not like racing games either....

It is very different from the FF series. The game is great. Maybe you should rent it first before buying.

its a first person RPG, meaning you fight from your character, not a sky camera

It's not an RPG in the traditional sense.  Heck, I think it more fitting to consider an action adventure more than an RPG.  It's kind of like Medieval GTA.

:lol: Where did this Western/Japanese thing originate?  It's always been Action Adventure or RPG.  Oblivion gameplay is comparable to Zelda which is an Action Adventure.

I understand what you're saying, but it's sort of misleading. This game isn't like Zelda at all, just bears some superficial similarities.

It's Zelda at the core.  Main diferences are graphics on crack, more in-depth character customization, weaker story and character development, floaty control and animation, free will.

Oblivion you can play in either first or third person. IT is an RPG but not like FF, In the sense its real time fightinng like how kingdom hearts is not turned base stuff. its an awesome game i had it for my 360 and got rid of it but wish i didnt so i will probably pick it up for the ps3 now so much to do and takes a very long time to fully beat it. i would recommend this game
