Oblivion came out 4 YEARS AGO?!

[Abedeus]

Dude, I have an even bigger shocker.

DIABLO 2 CAME OUT IN 2000!! And Diablo 3 maybe in 2011... if we're lucky.

Sure, the facial animations weren't up to scratch and it aged badly, but you have to admit the first time you ever saw Cyrodiil it filled you with awe.

The first time? It still fills me with awe. Oblivion is an awesome game, and I wish Bethesda would get around to making TESV.

 

[Daipire]

Wow, you'd reckon by now they'd have released a ES5 trailer or something...

 

[Chipperz]

I remember when it was released, it was one of the greatest games people had ever seen. The freedom that you had, and the various characters you saw on your travels. Sure, the facial animations weren't up to scratch and it aged badly, but you have to admit the first time you ever saw Cyrodiil it filled you with awe.

I'll admit something - I still am. The people look like arse and the animations are... Awful, but damn the environments are still beautiful, even with blocky people having conversations with themselves all round...

But yeah. Fuuuuck this has made me think. The first game I ever played (Lethal Weapon for the Amiga! Oooh yeah!) came out in 1992, and it was pretty new then...

The main reason I own an Xbox 360 is because I wanted to play Oblivion on something more powerful than my old desktop (my visibility ended at about 20m). Have never regretted that decision, got at least ninety hours out of that game, total.

 

[The Root Beer Guy]

To be honest, Oblivion still amazes me with its views to this day. Nothing like climbing up to Dive Rock and looking out over Cyrodiil.

Simpsons started 21 years ago. (23 if you count the Tracey Ullman show)

Mario/Donkey Kong and Princess Peach are nearly 30.

Sonic is 19, Kirby is 18, Link's 24, Duke Nukem is 19.

I can hear the screams now

Oblivion is as old and outdated now as Morrowind was when Oblivion was released. Except that Morrowind is still the better game.

The best moment of Oblivion on the 360 for me was when I found out that some speed up spell worked on horses. I loaded the horse up so with so much go fast juice that the terrain flew by. I got the loading message every few seconds then after while the console crashed.

The combat in Oblivion is much smoother than in Morrowind though...
Make TESV map include Solsthiem (mainly because i cant find my Morrowind GOTY =p), or have DLC that allows you to travel there.

 

[Lemon Of Life]

Well guys, brace yourselves, but it has been nearly 200 years since the electric motor was made! Wow!

 

[BiscuitTrouser]

Yeah, I've accumulated 400 hours on it over those 4 years.

It takes more time to craft an RPG than an action story. I'd rather they filled TESV with more side quests than bring it out earlier.

I agree, i found oblivion to be amazingly fun but i would love more sidequests and a longer more developed side quest chain. Also mount and blade combat controls. This in oblivion would be SWEEEET.

To explain for those who dont own the best medieval RTS ever when you click left your character does a left swing or for right click does a left block. Up is a downward chop, down is a stab, and left is a left slash. I found this to be very involving and used far more strategy than just clicking like crazy. Trust me when you play it you will see how epic it is.

 

[Malyc]

In a related note, maybe i should actually finish Morrowind, and find that dam dwemer puzzle cube or box or whatever it was.

Were you playing Sid Meiers: Pirates?

 

[Singletap]

One day I'll get to finishing the story of this game

Haha, yeah, I did everything but. Everything but the story just seemed so much more fun.

 

[Drop_D-Bombshell]

I bought it on release date. That means the disc's still working after four years, christ i've kept that preserved all this time.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Yeah, maybe, but I got bored of combat in Oblivion pretty quickly and ran past most combat with chameleon and invisibility. It's not really a big part of the game for me.

 

[Mandal0re]

I still remember how exicted i was, when it first came out, and how disapointed I was when i comparred it to morrowind :/

haha same man. It still stole hundreds of hours of my life though(not as many as Morrowind mind) but Bethesda better make TESV good,the second they announce it the hype will go MENTAL.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

It so hasn't aged badly!!
I only started playing it about a year ago and it STILL amazes me to this very day.
Everytime you play the game you get a new experience.

But but but... Chameleon gives you a BETTER excuse to get into combat...

I mean, come on! 6x blade sneak attack and a 3x ranged??? Whats not to like?
