Wow . . . Oblivion is terrible IN MY OPINION! geez you people . .

Did you not appreciate the freedom? The scenery? Jeremy Soule's score was impressive, did you not like the soundtrack, even though you thought it got repetitive? Did you not like stumbling across small encampments in the woods? Or becoming a thief? Or a silent assasin? Did you sit down and just watch the sun go up, with some of the wildlife running around, and people waking up from their houses to begin their day? This game, while not perfect, is realy a living, breathing world where you can do whatever you want, any way you want. That's the addiction. If you want a linear story with a very clear way to go at all times, play Kingdom Hearts 2 again.TheCrazed420

and don't make me dig up your old posts -- trust me, i've been here much longer than you could imagine and my memory is quite good ;) 

Remember it's all opinions..

When I first played morrowind I actually hated it.. I still do now but I love Oblivion

I decided to rent Oblivion this weekend to see what all the hoopala was about. All I have to say is wow . . . my first foray into Western RPG's was a forgettable one. This game is soooo boring. I felt like I was getting no where and running in the wilderness with nothing to fight for 20 minutes between each place. The graphics are ok but nothing special (nothing like resistance or gears). The story does not draw me in in the least and the physics are terrible. When I run sideways the guy still has the running foward animation. Combat is terrible and the game glitches and jumps all the time. The music also starts over constantly. There are also tons of repeated NPC's and each time I went into Oblivion to close a portal it seemed like the exact same tower. How did this game get game of the year? This is seriously one of the worst games I have ever played. Am I really alone on this? May be I am just playing the broken PS3 version, but seriously, you guys actually like this? The most fun I had was killing towns people and then resisting arrest or stealing horses and running. And the menus are overwhelming and annoying. I would say that this should stay on PC, but I don't think it should stay anywhere. I can not bring myself to even turn it on again . . . Does anyone agree? What does everyone else see that I don't?Imallvol7

You really do need to get Morrowind, its without doubt one of the best games ever IMO, although i'd imagine it'll be quite hard to start playing it now as the graphics and combat system dont hold up to Oblivions, but the lore and freedom is much better in MW ;)

to really understand where he's coming from you have to understand who he is. search his posts, read them - i'm sure it'll become clear.

some people are dyed-in-the-wool fans of consoles, i'm sure you're all aware of this -- fact is TC is a hardcore cow that is used to a very specific type of game, linear-action-adventure. i don't mean this as an insult - just an observation, some people like a very specific type of game and after they get used to it it's probably hard to enjoy and experience something new and different.

personally i'll always buy a console when it's released - and ill judge it personally on its merits (games / accesorries / etc.). i'm always open to new game experiences, and i guess that's why i appreciate oblivion.

give up on hunting my posts then? you really like to act like a big shot around here. But yes, I do love games like socom, halo, god of war, ninja gaiden, final fantasy, jak and daxter, mario, and ssb , ohh ssb . . . need me some online brawl sooo bad.

you do go far beyond defending it -- attacking other consoles is not defending. despite owning all 3 you do show definite signs of fanboyishness. otherwise i wouldn't be writing this right now, lol. anyways - system ways, not fanboy wars... carry on.

I don't hunt your posts - maybe I just catch you at your worst. you have to admit that given your Topic and inital statement this thread does come off as some serious flamebait. I mean you know the game is appreciated by a wide variety of people - but you're trashing it like you haven't given the game an honest go. Sometimes I find it hard to switch from one 'gaming mode' to the next, maybe you just have to play it a bit more -- there's some excellent gaming in there, trust me. 

now to more serious matters --- the new SSB better come out soon and kick some serious ass, i've been hankering for it since it was announced.

I am so addicted to Oblivion right now.. But oddly enough, playing it makes me feel like playing Morrowind. I think Morrowind is the better game.sneekite

This game isnt for people who has ADD... nuff saidYoruichii

well you did change the topic -- so i'm guessing you felt it was a bit on the side of flamebait ;)

oblivion does have it's issues, but most good / great games do. i have a feeling you just haven't experienced any cool moments yet in Oblivion -- but sometimes it takes people a long time to get in to it. one of my best friends only just started giving it a serious chance and 10 hours in he bought all the additional content. i dunno, to each their own -- personally i hate the FF and MGS series, and I know people will hammer me for that too, so it's all good (but i've played well over 10 hours of each series, heh.. i love early FF, but hate the new.. mgs has always been meh for me).  

so in other words, because it isnt a JRPG and not turn based and doesnt have 'final fantasy' printed on the cover it's a terrbile rpg eh?fivegreenaliens

Honestly though this game is just not that amusing to me its like another hack and slash game but slower paced, and not as exciting.ANti_RiCeR

 Another hack and slash game? How did yu get this confused with other hack and slash games? And, more importantly, what games do you play where Oblivion is considered a hack and slash games? 'Cause I wanna be playing whatever your playing, if you catch my drift.

I agree 100%.  Our stories are very similar except for the fact that I actually bought it like an idiot believing it was going to be one hellava good RPG  I was only able to take about 4 hours of it before I decided it was nothing but a load of BS!  I still have the game... waiting for my friend who wants to buy a 360 so that I can sell it to him since i'll get more out of it.  i told him it's a crap game in my opinion but he wants to have it anyway... yay for him i guess... but ya, i agree that this game was totally overated.. the last good western rpg/s was fallout 1/2 in my opinion... 

This is why games like Morrowmind and Kotor don't sell well. They get high ratings because they do have nice graphics, and very deep gameplay, but the games is just too nerdy. Most Wrpgs are. Just a theory.shungokustasu

KOTOR sold close to 2mln copies and Morrowind sold 4mln on both Pc and xbox combined. Anyway I'm not a big fan of Oblivion ( even from 2006 I prefered NWN2 and Gothic3), it's very dumbed down and the gameplay is a bit broken. Still, with numerous patches I had quite enjoyable time playing it Thief-like (Oscuro+Thieves Arsenal+improved stealth mods+natural enviorements+quarl textures= twice as good Oblivion :) ) 

I don't own a 360 yet so I can't comment on Oblivion, but I had the same feeling about Morrowind.

Everybody seems to love it, but I just can't seem to find anything I like about it.

I think it's because I need to put more time in it but for me to do that it would have to become more fun than it is now. (to me) 

Maybe it's just not my kind of game.

Oblivion was Morrowind with training wheels. If the level system didn't insult veteran RPGers enough, it was the map travel (you play an RPG for immersion!). Pintbitter
