I guess you were offended by that first pic then?

Bethesda succeeded again after Morrowind to actually do so something no other RPG dev have done before and that was a realistic living and breathing world. You feel that this world actually exists when you play in it.

listen my friend.. this is the interwebz.. everything is done for the Lulz ;)

Oblivion is one of the few open-ended RPGs that allows you to (1) completely ignore the Main Quest, (2) Role-play your character any way you want, (3) has thousands of bugs & glitches patched, (4) has thousands pf player-made modifications.

I'm running about 70 mods or so, and you can quite easily triple that number if you wish. Aside from other Bethesda games, what other game allows you to:

1. Run a Script Extender (OBSE) that allows you to alter the game's scripts. (running an OBSE levelling mod, doubles the stat & skill progression limit).

2. Write your own modifications. Can change as much of the game as you wish. (ex., animation replacer mods)

3. Inspired people to write code for Oblivion utilities (OBSE, Wrye Bash, OBMM, FCOM Helper, OAF).

4. Inspired retailers to keep the game on their shelves.

5. Inspired the people in #3 to continue revising their utilities.

6. Inspired Bethesda to do something for Oblivion (they won't say what yet).

I still play oblivion from time to time.

but that might be because I got the PC version. slap on some mods and its great.

Not the Worst Game This Gen, But Defiantly one fo the most Disappointing In my opnion. I hope they do good with TES: V, I'd rather Then do a Remake then another Oblivion move.

I'd Love to have a Remake of Daggerfalls.:D (Just updated Graphics though)

(1) - Many open-ended RPGs allow you to totally ignore the main quest. Some open-ended RPGs also have main quests that are worth playing. :o

(2) - I'm struggling to think of an open-ended RPG with less roleplaying than Oblivion. It was totally devoid of meaningful choices, and played basically the same regardless of what skills your character had.

(3) - Um, ok. Other games tend to receive fan patches that fix many/most of their problems...but yeah, it's not a huge issue.

(4 & your list) - Sure, there are a lot of talented people out there that can make interesting content for games. None of them work for Bethesda. :P
But seriously, I don't think you can really judge a game by its mods - I personally had a ton of mods for the game (I even made a few for myself), but the fundamental flaws were still there, making me lose interest quickly...whereas with, say, Morrowind, I played that for literally hundreds of hours without mods, and still feel like I could go back to it and enjoy it.

TC must be a Wii gamer if he didn't like Oblivion.

And I... LOL'd :P

Hmm, to me Oblivion was one of the first, Just Wow games of this gen in which I spent many, many hours playing and loved much about it though about 3/4 of the way through the game it became obvious that some of the things I had imagined I would be doing in the game was not to be so I had some disappointment but in no way, no how was Oblivion a Bad game for it's time and universal AAA's and GOTY from some should be proof of that. :P

I can't seem to find one good thing about this game. also does the 360 version run at 10fps?Zero5000X

Oblivion was horrible as was the mod called Fallout 3.

Oblivion was bland and shallow compared to Morrowind. I guess it was ok if you like action games and wandering the beautiful landscape aimlessly for crappy random generated loot scaled to your level. Yeah there are worse games but I don't think worse dissapointments than Oblivion.

Oblivious?

in my opinion oblivion is the best rpj this gen

[QUOTE="Zero5000X"]I can't seem to find one good thing about this game. also does the 360 version run at 10fps?obamanian

it does suffer from the shallow, reapeatitive, generic RPG, boring story syndrom, that all new RPG's have lately, so we have to put up with that i guess, that is until the new 2D XBLA RPG arrives

People go waaaay overboard here. Oblivion is FAR from the worst game. Its clear you havent played games like Hour of Victory and Dark Messiah (360)-DrRobotnik-

Sorry TC, worst game this gen is Fallout 3. Its like Oblivion except it has the added bonus of ruining a great game franchise :(II_Seraphim_II

Gross exaggeration, this thread is only good for lulz from people who were apparently physically/mentally assaulted in some way by this game:P

Not the worst game this gen, but maybe the most disappointing. The leveling in the game destroyed it. And apparently, the only way a lot of PC folk were able to even tolerate the game was with many, many mods.It is pretty bad compared to Morrowind.

There is absolutly no @#!ing way Oblivion is a bad game. I found it to be really fun.

As far as the Elder Scrolls series is concered, Oblivion is definitely the weakest, most watered down of the bunch. However I still enjoyed it throughly until the end of the campaign. And it is far from the WORST game this gen, FAR.

maybe not the best game, but certainly an ambitous huge rpg with tons of great things about it. Your exageration is childish and a waste of everyones time, there have been worse games released every month since oblivion came out, and that was a long time ago.

i'm getting annoyed with all the disrespect to AAA games here. seriously, why the hate? if you don't like it, don't play it. that's it.

Oblivion is one of the best PC games this gen and one of my favourites, mostly because it's so customizable. I tolerated the levelling system, but when i play it on the new PC i'm getting, i'm gonna get a mod that removes the levelling system (maybe OOO or FCOM)

Agree

it's one of the worst game I've ever played

Go to this thread: http://au.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26920208&tag=topics;title and tell me Oblivion is terrible, i dare you.

oblivion was good...much prefered fallout 3 thou

Worst game, you say? Sure... I'll bite :) Bethesda gives you the ability to make whatever sort of character you like, and then allows you to do whatever you want with them in a deep, gorgeous open ended fantasty world. I know sword and sorcery isn't everyone's favorite escapist retreat, but given the games flexability and rewards for personal creativity in terms of the RPG mechanics, I assert that if you din't like Oblivion, it's your fault. I mean, what type of character did you create? The Iron Accountant?donalbane

Its one of the best rpgs ever made! What are you talking about?

Ok, it's terrible. :P

Oblivion with mods is tolerable, but that doesn't excuse Bethesda for making an 'RPG' with almost no redeeming qualities.

Let's hope for TESV to be a great RPG instead of a great Action/Adventure game and a mediocre RPG

*shrugs* meh.

It's my favorite game this gen. and possibly my second favorite game of all time.

I really don't understand the Oblivion hate.

I liked the game when I played it on 360, but I loved it 10 times more a year later when I got it on PC. I've been modding it on and off ever since.

All the people jumping on the hate bandwagon on this forum don't own the game on PC with mods.
