I was hooked to Oblivion for quite awhile, but then one day I found it very repetitive and boring. Honestly I don't know what I saw in that game - but obviously there a ton of replay value cuz I put in over 100 hours, lol.

Oblivion is one of the best games I have ever played. The sheer vastness of the world and scope of the story are incredible enough to keep me wanting to play! Also, so many different character classes to play makes it even better!

It took me a while to get into it too. I'd say a few hours of play isn't enough. Keep at it and you might start to enjoy it more. It's impossible to say when you will start to enjoy it more because it isn't a linear game. Basically it's as good as you make it. I played it for over 200 hours.

If your looking for an FPS then its gonna be boring. However, if you like character building and questing then i find it very addicting. Also if you made a fighter... the game simply has almost no challenge for a well built fighter. In fact i'm gonna go play it for awhile.

Just play a FPS for hours on end like I did.

And when you get sick of that play a RTS for hours on end, as I did aswell.

Then finally when you get sick of an RTS, play Oblivion. Like a breathe of fresh air.

I love it, but I play it for awhile non-stop, then stop for weeks or months. Then pick it back up again. Right now my guy is so powerful it isn't funny. I fought that Mankar Camoran guy, who is supposed to be a big boss, and I whooped him and his two friends in less than a minute and had barely lost any hit points. I have a magic lockpick so I can just spam the autolock and never have to worry about lockpicks again. It is a little boring though. Needs more variety, but it's still great, and the graphics and environments are outstanding.

I've tried to give Oblivion a shot 3 separate times. The 2nd and 3rd times were both restarts as there were huge gaps between playing and I was only 2 or 3 hours in. Every time though I get bored, not a bad game, but I have trouble getting into it. I will eventually get around to really diving into the game and hopefully finishing it, I'm just not excited to do it based on my experiences with the game thus far.

Oblivion's kinda what you make of it. And I must say, describing Two Worlds as better than Oblivion is border line offensive.

honestly half the people on this forum dont know what real gaming is. FPS and FANSBOYS are killing true gamingkrillen33

This statement however, is offensive. Let me guess: "True gaming" means playing the games you like?

I'd have to say that if you think Oblivion is boring, there is something wrong with you. I have been playing that game since I got my 360(1 year ago) and I still play it all the time. As a matter of fact, I have played for at least 6 hours today. But, if you do think its boring, go back to your FPS's and have fun, because your missing out on one of the best RPGs ever made!

you're saying Two Worlds is better than Oblivion? You are either on crack, or just got lost in Oblivion. Keep doing the story, it's generally exciting all the way through

Well maybe it isn't your kind of game, even people who like RPG's don't like all RPG sub-genre's. The RPG genre is so diverse and complex that you can't really say "I like RPG's" so much as you can say you like particular sub-genre's of RPG's.

BUT just like Fallout 3 this game takes patience and a good 10-20 hours to really get into (in the fact first 5 are horribly boring). If you are the kind of person that just likes to go around killing things for no purpose then Oblivion is definitely NOT for you. I think that you simply don't appreciate the things that Elder Scrolls has to offer. If you still don't like the game after a good 15-20 hours playing it then get rid of it. One word of advice is to NOT do the main storyline off the bat, I logged over 100 hours of gameplay before I even touched the main storyline.

That being said, Two Worlds better then Oblivion? Two Worlds is Eastern Europe's Oblivion. I found it ugly to look at (grey, brown green through the whole game), buggy, and lacking any depth as far as story. Plus the voice acting was funny at first but really drove me insane after a few hours. But if that game did something for you go for it, there is a sequel coming out. I do have to agree with others that liking Two Worlds more then Oblivion is something I have literally NEVER heard before.

Wow, Two Worlds, really? I do agree -- I found Oblivion pretty mediocre, and I put in like 8-10 hours before giving up on it. I just wasn't engaged by all the fetch/kill quests, and the combat seemed really awkward to me.

yeah you are missing a brain, Oblivion is the best game I have played

I agree, Oblivion is the best single player game ever IMO. Two Worlds, on the other hand, is right up there on my top five WORST games ever. Seriously, it was easily the biggest disappointment for me so far this gen.

you liked two worlds better than oblivion? what? is that a joke? but yeh, all RPGs start off slow because your character is weak and has no gear, just keep playing and everything will get more fun once you get more power

i didn't like morrowind either but oblivion was cool. i didn't like morrowind cause you couldn't hold a sword and shield at the same time but in oblivion you could. 2 worlds was terrible and i think i played it for an 1 hour before i sent it back to gamefly.

You can always get it for your PC and mod it to your liking. I played it on the 360 first though, and I liked it just fine. On another note, Two Worlds is just awful IMO...

The first two letters of RPG means Role-Play: learn how to do that, because Oblivion is open-ended, not linear.:)

That's one of the best parts of this game: you can totally ignore the Main Quest, and go off and do what you want. If you want to be a simple alchemist that collects plants, brews potions, then sells them to merchants.....you can do that. That's Role-Playing.

I bought Oblivion close to its release back in 2006 and I am not bored with it. A supporting website is named the UESP Oblivion Wiki, and it has a special webpage for those who are "bored". Link:P

Oblivion is an amazing game in my opinion. If RPG's aren't your sort of game though, I can't see it converting you. Shame though as I think the sheer vastness and detail of the world is brilliant.

Lol Oblivion is far better than Two Worlds. On Two Worlds i cheated my way to level 5000 then it got boring as the controlling horses is a bit tricky and you cant even walk on it wheres there is oblivion, You can walk and run, Also their are many different classes and monsters and you can even enchant and make your own spells! the only good bit of Two Worlds was the Dragons, Necromancers and the fact you can summon like as many monsters as you want. :)

Oblivion has some good parts and is still one of the greater RPGs on the 360. The quests are well written and fun.

However, after having clocked 200+ hours in playing it, I now too find it kind of boring.

Very little variety in enemies, locations (this is the worst, all dungeons look the same!), and weapons/armour. Once you got a full suit of the Glass/Ember(with Shivering Isles) armour orDaedric/Madness if you play heavy, that's it! Same goes for the weaponry. All the same voices for all character get pretty annoying too.

my 2cts.

This has GOT to be a troll post for the fact that someone actually LIKES Two Worlds ?! I think that is one of the worst games I have ever played & as for finding Oblivion boring... may I suggest you seek medical advice ?
