No Game Series Gives You Your Money's Worth Like The Elder Scrolls.

Sorry Elder Scrolls haters but it's true....you haters can say it's boring, or too long or mach the combat system or whatever else you guy's usually complain about.

However you can't deny for the expensive price of $65.00 a game after tax, that the Elder Scrolls game's give you the most for your buck.

I mean c'mon what other game can you play for months and never do the same thing twice, or have your choice of over 300 locations to explore, or your choice of hundereds of quests, not to mention the character choices, the attention to detail, the natural change of weather from one area to the next, while day sets into night.

You can make your own health and magic potions and hunt your own food, and own a home in every major city, while obtaining lethal weapons, and magic spells to use on vicious creatures, animals and thieves of all walks of life.

You can speak with hundreds of different people, and join multiple guilds, do battle in arena's to earn gold, armor and weapons.....all these features and more allow you to spend months and years getting lost in the massive world of Elder Scrolls, and no other game has that kind of variety, detail or longevity.

It's simply the best series ever made....I.M.O.

FIFA, off the top of my head.

But the game isn't fun. What's the point a ton of replayability if none of it's fun?

Boring game for me. I rather play JRPG's.

Personally it got to be Call of Duty, play that game lots, it bring back its money i paid for and more

if you don't think it's fun then you don't know what your doingSlimmin360

Or I/we just don't enjoy the game.

and JRPG's should not even exist because there so terrible I.M.O.Slimmin360

:( I was about to go to sleep but this happened. Anyways, off to bed.

One simple word, Zelda.

I agree, Elder Scrolls games are definitely worth the full $60.

Allow me to reply to all of you thus far FIFA games don't compare to an action RPG, if you don't think it's fun then you don't know what your doing, and JRPG's should not even exist because there so terrible I.M.O.Slimmin360

Zelda, Uncharted, LBP, Batman, Halo, etc.....

The Elder Scrolls games have the best bang per money unit. No other RPG even comes close to the depth and detail of TES.

I thought you were going to mention mods. Oblivion has an insane amount of replayability because of them.

It doesn't matter the amount of content if the gameplay is not good. Gameplay is much more important and if it isn't good then going through the amount of content is going to be a drag and uninteresting.

I respect your opinion, pal. Honest I do. Still...

:lol: x99

I've gotten more fulfillment out of games half the cost of Elder Scrolls.

I bought Oblivion when it came out because it looked interesting and everybody was praising it. I played it for a couple of hours and got so bored I don't even remember what happened with it. I don't know if I sold it or if I simply lost it but the thing is that I don't know where the hell is it and I don't care. That's what I call a total waste of 60 bucks plus tax...

I was about to come in here and completely agree with you, then you said JRPG's suck, so you get no support, youre on your own :P

It definitely gives you the most for your buck, no other game series requires more time and effort to find and install mods to make the games playable.

Europa Universalis 3, Victoria 2. I have 300hrs in EU3, 250hrs in V2. As much as I'm looking forward to SKyrim, to say no game gives you the money's worth like TES is utterly false. And btw, EU3 Chronicles is only $30, and Vicky 3 is only $30, while Skyrim is $60.

While I have enjoyed all of the ES games and will likely love Skyrim too, I gotta say I have spent much more time with games like Diablo 2 and Battlefield 2/2142/BC2 due to the multiplayer. I really... really enjoy SP games much more so than MP, but when it comes to getting your money's worth, I gotta hand it to great MP games. Mods do help a lot though.

EDIT: Oh, and I agree with you on the JRPGs statement. Not a fan and haven't been since the SNES.

Fallout is up there as well. Fallout 3 and New Vegas are easily 40 hours on FIRST playthrough. Not to mention there are multiple endings, and so many different ways you can replay the game.

Although, once I made it to the ending credits of New Vegas, I never touched the game again. Feels good knowing I can go back any time on a bored day, and easily have like 40 more hours of gameplay waiting for me. And I havent even got the DLC.

WRPG's and Open World are my 2 favorite genres.

I played Diablo II for THOUSANDS of hours. I played Starcraft for thousands of hours. Three hundred hours is trivial compared to some of the pc games of the past and present.

Edit: Also, a lot of things you have described have been available in MMOs for years.

There are many, many games that give you more moneys worth than Elder Scrolls. Hell even DNF is worth more to me, because I was actually able to get to the end.

Which ones would those be? I can only think of two of these being even remotely similar to one another: Batman Arkham City and Zelda.

In any case, Arkham City just came out and is absolutely massive. I shall probably invest over 100 hours of pure gameplay into this thing and still not be done with it. I just love love LOVE those challenge maps! The combat and stealth are some of the best out there and I cannot wait to sink hours into solving and finding all of riddler's 440 challenges! This thing's a freaken beast! I'm pretty darn sure I'm playing my game of the generation right now! Arkham City seriously has everything I could want in a game

For all those who hate on the Oblivion can I just ask one thing. What did you do in it? :?

I didn't pay anything for League of Legends and it's given me over 700 hours of playtime and still counting.

Checkmate.

Actually in Oblivion i felt like i was doing the same thing over and over after the first few hours, all dungeons looked flat and same, all Obliviom towers, most cities looked about same, quest started feeling the same soon, NPCs looked cartooney, monsters spawned randomly and there were no real bosses of landscape design at all, combat and leveling up felt generic and repeatitve and was far from fun

It does pack lots of content alright, but i feel Dark Souls has more unique content and level design than all of Elder Scrolls games combined including Skyrim

Weird of how so many people seem to hate Oblivion. Yet it still has a user score on here of 9.3. :?

Strange. :|

I'd agree if they were even remotely fun.siLVURcross

This

I get my money's worth out of JRPGs games like the Tales serie and other obscure title that sometime makes it oversea.

Oblivion was a huge game and a good one, for its time was the best you could get for some years too

It is just that gaming after Dark Souls has moved to whole new levels and the standards have changed today

Maybe the people that like it enjoy it so much that they don't have time to post comments here since they are playing it all the time :P

Their gamespot accounts have not been active since the release of the previous installment in the franchise.

Boring game for me. I rather play JRPG's.
