which is better? gears of war or elder scrolls: oblivion? somebody plz tell me

well they both got da same rating, and im new here

so somebody giv me ur opinion

plz!!!!!!!!!

does one really have to be better than the other? they are both extremely good games each, imo, deserving the scores they got. if i HAD to chose one i would probably pick oblivion because of the customization, length of the game, and just overall great gameplay.

OH GOD PLZ DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID...I TRADED IN OBLIVION. AND I WANT IT BACK SO BADDDDDDD.

GET THE SCROLLS MAN. GEARS IS FUN BUT IT GETS BORING DUDE...AND THERES LAG...AND THAT HOST ADVANTAGE IS LITERALLY WHAT KILLS THE GAME.

Neither are anything special. I'd just get Oblivion. GodLovesDead

Gears single player only lasts around 10 hours, Oblivion's single player can last you over 100 hours depending on what you do. If you choose gears you better love playing online multiplayer. I would say get both eventually because they are both great. As for which one is better, they both got 9.6/10, I think it would be pretty straight forward that they are even, but if you really want to know, go to other game reviewing sites, or gamerankings.com.

Definatly Gears of War, Oblivion is alright but its multi player sucksMIB911

You kidding? A "special" game is an innovative one. A game that takes chances, and risks - and end up doing something new. If it doesn't do something new, it could atleast do something that has been done before - but better. Gears of Wars nor does Oblivion do either of these things. Gears of War is so bland and generic, it's hard to touch after a few days of play. Oblivion is just a smaller, prettier, and duller version of Morrowind. And Morrowind was even cut down too - from Daggerfall. Oblivion is basically a cut-up version of a game that was cut-up in the first place. Plus, Oblivion is extremely short. I don't care what anyone says. The Main-Quest is ~5 hours long, and about the same for the other guilds. It's very short for an RPG, and there's not too much content.

Oblivion 100%

I'm at 75 hrs on my 1st guy and 20 hrs on my 2nd guy.

BEST GAME EVER.

So freaking epic... I've played with my friends for like 6 hours straight.

Gears is fun for a week... then it sucks.

O-FREAKING-BLIVION.

They're both really good in their respective genres. You reall can't compare these two, being so completely different.

The games are really different in a big way. GoW, if you want a high action packed + gore game, fun multiplayer with friends. Oblivion although you can also add the action theme to it, its really an RPG. Venturing, doing quests and subquests equip different types of armors + weapons, cast spells and all.

I have both, but if you can only pick 1, I'd say pick what genre you really like. If not, these might help. GoW is fast paced and you can easily end the game but definitely enjoy it. Oblivion on the other hand offers lots of things you can try out, from different races to different classes/profession. But the thing is, its really looong and I easily got bored with it. If you ask me which game I could play again, I would pick GoW.
