I thought it was okay, but It is wayyyy hard. I don't even know what I'm doing. Graphics are great though. Your thoughts?

It's good, but not better than Morrowind. Sure, it has some neat features and pretty graphics, but, in my opinion, the story isn't very interesting and the world doesn't really seem fleshed out at all.
Oblivion is great for awhile. It starts off very hard, and then becomes stupidly easy. Environmental and character graphics are great...the gameplay becomes extremely repetitive and the story is highly derivative. It was pretty good when it was first released, its also fun if you have the TIME for it. Its disturbingly time consuming. So if you don't care about your free time, have fun with it.
I will never play that game again!

Yep I like it and I got morrowind to, but I was put of that bigtime because I had anoterh game at the same time called Wizardry 8 and it sucked mighty big balls and morrowind had the same feel to it so I didnt even get past the first quest. With Oblivion though its such a free road game, and it looks so good that I was hooked and its one of my all time fav PC games. Well that was after I added in a few mods to liven things up a bit
off topic... Communist Party ftw!
Morrowind is pretty much exactly like Oblivion but last-last gen graphics, though there is now a community made mod to vamp up the graphics quite a lotYep I like it and I got morrowind to, but I was put of that bigtime because I had anoterh game at the same time called Wizardry 8 and it sucked mighty big balls and morrowind had the same feel to it so I didnt even get past the first quest.

it was the first elder scrolls game i played, I thought it was pretty great
I haven't actually played Oblivion, but my friend did while we were at a 360/Cyber Cafe. I thought it was pretty funny when they always zoomed into the NPCs face when they're speaking..
I hope I am talking about the right game here..I think I am.
Story is boring as hell, but the massive world, dungeon crawling, sidequests and extra gameplays systems more than make up for that.
I have no idea why people keep hatin on this game. i thot it was great. i mean speaking it came out about a year ago the graphics arent amazing but theyre still good. As for the ones who say the storyline is bad, i guess we like 2 different games. i loved the virtually unlimited customization, the main story and the hundreds of side quests. i dont get it. they did a great job with this game.
From what I played of it it was as boring as hell, I almost fell asleep during the first few hours play... after that I just gave up.
I don't care about the gfx. It was tedious, overhyped (again) and reminded me of 80's dungeon crawlers with no personality.
I did say I had high standards (when I was giving bioshock a 7/10)...
i like oblivion to me, it and morrowind are like the modern version of the ultima series wich i used to adore untill EA raped origin
oblivion seems a bit dumbed down from morrowind to me but the tradeoff is that its a lot more accesible (read easy) not that you cant crank up the dificulty if you like but in morrowind it took a while to get a new character off the ground tho i liked having more choices in armor and such in morrowind not to mention secondary skills, levetation , and an item enchanting system that i liked more than oblivion. but in oblivion i can just pick up and play a lot more so its a tradeoff.
wow that turned into a ramble
I liked Oblivion, but I loved Morrowind.
hmm i didnt get the ramble out of my system the first time it seems...
speaking of 80s dungeon crawlers with no personality ... i awlays thought that was the one drawback to most rpgs in wich you generated a character like d&d elder scrolls etc. thats why i liked planescape torment only d&d game i ever played where the main character and other party members had real personality apart from what the player brought with them in the way of imagination.
kinda like playing everquest or wow in wow you can customise the heck out of your character but lets face it, at the end of the day every tauren shaman starts looking like every other and so on. but then again for me japans rpgs have always filled the gap for me in that respect ... love it or hate it cloud from ff7 had way more personality and background than any baldurs gate character.
hmmm maybe that got the ramble out
I actually went back to playing oblivion after beating bioshock. It can be a lot of fun if you mod the hell out of it.

Hard? You seriously need to play Morrowind if you want to know what hard is. You can't kill anything for a long time during the beginning because your not strong enough, you have to utilize every power you can posibly gain, and on top of that, there's no toggling the difficulty like Oblivion has.
the only thing, and i mean the only thing i dont like about oblivion is the fact that everything levels up with you.
Morrowind has a difficulty scaler.
I despise the leveling system.the only thing, and i mean the only thing i dont like about oblivion is the fact that everything levels up with you.
Overall it felt like they dumbed it down for mainstream appeal, something I never like.
The only thing that remotely makes Oblivion redeemable for me are the mods. But even then...it's very easy to ☺☺☺☺ your data folder up with incompatible mods so you need to back up that data folder every time you install something new; it's a pain in the balls.
I played through Oblivion once, and I got to the top rank of every faction in the game. The assassin guild was my favorite out of all of em.
There's something about the feel of the controls and character movement that put me off. Like if you hold A and W to walk front and left, your character can easily just glide in that direction and it looks off. That one thing really kills immersion for me...kinda blows.
I'll never not have Morrowind installed on my PC. The mods for it are better than oblivion's imo and the world is far more enjoyable to explore...
just my two cents.
i played for a few hours. And felt like i wasted my money.
it was beautifull. But just... blah. The game itself didn't draw me in at all. it felt weak and uninspired. maybe i'll give it a try again now i've finished bioshock. But the game just didn't grab my balls like i was expecting to. the story progressed in the time i played so slowly that i could finish reading anovel before it was done.
The leveling system pissed me off. There's no sense of achievement. You level up and so do the guys you see in the first dungeon. Thats not fun. if i spend hours making myself some big tough ass mofo. I want to be able to go back and kick the asses of the people who orignally gave me trouble. Now everyone is always hard.
I liked it, it didnt make a massive imprint on me. I found the story better than the actual gameplay. Dont get me wrong, the gameplay was fun but i found that when charged with protecting people they would be too aggressive and keep running into my fire/sword and then turn on me through their own stupidity. I know thats not gameplay per se, its more the AI, but it affected the gameplay and in the end pissed me off.
Well, I like it a lot more than Morrowind.I bought Morrowind a few months/weeks (not sure) before Oblivion came out to see what I've missed but it didn't stay on my PC for too long... I just didn't like it. But Oblivion, I've wasted a "few" hours there.
I actually reLLally like Oblivion. The main thing I like about it is how many quest options you have. There are several side quests not including Guild Faction Quests. I think it is a solid game with tons of playable quests.
Lol, thread necromancer.
Please don't bump threads that are over three years old. There's a forum that's been created for talking about video games since this thread's creation, it would probably be better to go there.
Also, please don't backseat moderate. Just report posts rather than spamming bumped threads. Thanks.
