I see a lot of people complaining of Oblivion. I never had any problems with it. I play it on PC, so maybe that makes a difference. There were some flaws to it, but I found them to be very minor. I'll go with Just Cause 2, since I love playing it, as long as I'm not doing stupid missions!

I'm guessing you use medium visual settings and have never modded the game once? The moment you mod the game the CTD rate goes through the roof, and the optimization is horrendous. My computer can run Just Cause 2 on max settings, but it still struggles with parts of Oblivion due to it's notoriously bad coding.

Constant 60fps on most visually intense game made to date? Check.
10-30fps on 5 year old game? Check. Wait, what the hell?

Nope, max settings on everything and I have modded the game. Still no problems. The only problems I ever had were caused by ill made mods. Removed them and it worked great. Other mods worked really well too.

Bizarre, you may of just lucked out. The PC version is the one everyone complains about. The console versions had almost no issues other than the vanilla bugs that couldn't be resolved with the UOP. With stuff like Streamline, OBSE plugins like Stutter Removal, and Wrye Bash I've minimized crashes, but it still does it now and again, especially if I do too much outdoors and hit the dreaded 1.8GB RAM cap. (The 32bit OS issue)

Maybe I never had any issues because I have a 64 bit OS. Don't know. Loved the game and can't wait for the next.
OT: I've been playing Dragon Age lately, and have noticed one flaw. I don't feel the need or even option to explore. The game feels very cramped to me. I feel restricted with to do just the next quest to keep the story going. Maybe it is just me. What does everyone else think about this in regards to Dragon Age?

Well unless you applied the LAA patch you could hit the 1.8GB memory issue. I don't remember what LAA stands for, something like "large access alert" or something, let's a program break the default Window's 1.8GB RAM usage cap for a program. Not normally a problem, as Oblivion is the only program to ever hit it. (Literally.) If you ever use stuff like Qarl's Texture Pack and any overhaul like OOO you're really likely to hit the cap. Really bad programming in Oblivion, haha.

As for DAO, there isn't a whole lot of exploring in general. There is a reason to go to every area, quest or otherwise. One thing I enjoyed about Fallout 3 so much, every area had a unique vibe, but a lot never forced you to go there, you had to WANT to explore. There might be a good weapon hidden about, or something interesting to find, even if it was story on that location, that was good enough for me.

Mirror's Edge. Despite the flawed storyline and the short length, it's still one of my favorite games. The style is nothing I've ever seen before, and the concept of Free Running in video games never looked better.

Radiata Stories.
So many flaws, but so much charm.

 

[SpireOfFire]

just cause 2.

zero realism, a quite a few glitches, very frustrating, but the destruction and freedom is awesome.

Earth Defense Force 2017.

Technically a mess, ugly as hell. Fun...It's got it.

huh? what's this liquid? oh no, it's acid!

Dead Rising despite the shitty gun aim
