Oblivion: The Best Game Ever!

[I'mANinja]

I think Oblivion would suck without mods, hence why I refuse to play it on the 360.

How enemies leveled with you was too shitty. Also the main storyline was bad. And of course everthing just seemed to be the same, once you've been into one cave you have been into them all. I have been a fan of TES for a long time now and Obivion is the one that I played the least.

It's not near "the best game ever."

If anything deserves that title (but nothing actually does), it's ROGUE.

Oblivion's only redeeming feature for me was the dungeon crawling (and the physics, I just love physics so much in games). I really liked it (even if the dungeons were made of set-pieces arranged differently each time, I liked it. It was the best modern dungeon crawling I'd experienced so far). (ROGUE isn't modern, but if it were, (it would be the messiah of action "RPG"s) it would be the best modern dungeon crawling I would experience.)

I could be wrong, though, since when I tried to play Morrowind on the XBox, it was boring as hell, and when I tried to play it on my computer (not the XBox disc, I had both versions) my computer turned the disc into three parts of a disc. I don't have much experience with Morrowind's dungeons. Perhaps I should go torrent it... I'm such a dirty pirate...

Oh... you're one of THOSE guys... the ones who post comments about how no console nowadays could top the Commodore 64 and stuff like that.

ROGUE looks absolutely terrible by the way. (By today's standards anyways, but that's just it isn't it? Todays standards.) Time to move on friend.

No, I'm not one of THOSE guys. I know ROGUE looks terrible by today's standards, but I don't care, because it's the most fun dungeon-crawling I've ever experienced. It also doesn't present action or fast-paced combat like Oblivion does, and I like action and fast-paced combat. While I would like a version of ROGUE with today's graphics and today's physics (from a first-person perspective), it doesn't exist yet, so I have to stick with ROGUE itself.

My favorite games ever consist of ROGUE, STALKER, Deus Ex, and the Half-Life games. Only one of those can really be considered to be really old. I like old games and new games. Some new games I like better than old games, and some old games I like better than new games.

Definitely not one of THOSE guys. But I'll dare to say you're one of those OTHER guys, who think newer games are simply better than older games, and don't understand how people can like older games so much.

I liked Oblivions storyline actually.. especially in the expansion packs. The voice actors completely sucked.. and it was full of bugs... But I still liked the feeling of it. I found it quite immersive actually. And it was fun for a while at least.

It was enjoyable when you first started off but later on,as you level up,the monsters leveled up with you which totally defeated the entire point of leveling your character.

On that note, I think it is better that the monsters level up. You get more exp from fighting and you don't just instantly kill them after you reach like lvl 25. They also get better armor and weapons you can take, which is nice.

Yes you get better armor and weapons later in the game but that doesn't help you much.

I have a lvl 43 character specialised in heavy armor, blocking and sharp weapons . I am over 100 at all three things, I use the best equipment I can get and I couldn't finish the main quest without invisibility because the monsters were too strong. And no I am not bad at the game.

Leveling up in Oblivion is actually a bad thing because the lvl scaling system is broken.

Are you kidding me? I still play the Monkey Island games on a regular basis. One of my top 5 games is Jagged Alliance 2, which although not as old as ROGUE, is from 1999. And I play that at least once a week. I also love some of the earlier Mech Warrior games. And X-Wing vs. TIE fighter. That game rocks.

So no, I'm definitely not one of those OTHER guys... I guess we were both wrong in our assumptions... just goes to show that old adage is true... you can't judge a person by their taste in video games.

Am I the only one that thinks that it's gonna be near impossible to top this game? I've played Fallout 3 and the ending is disappointing to say the least.

Just looking for anyone else who loved the fourth installment of the elder scrolls series.

Look into Darkfall Online, you will be happy ;D

[WickedSkin]

Play, for example, Grim Fandango and get back to us.

 

[anNIALLator]

Yeah Oblivion for the win. I liked it better than Fallout 3.

 

[742]

the dark brotherhood quests were OK, a little cliche, and they used the generic voice actors WAY too much (except for the assassin vampire, your assassin boss, male argonian, both kajiit, and i think it was one of the either the breton/imperial voice actor's they were terrible) i mean, you would think the antagonist would get a competent voice actor, not the same as THREE races.

still, i did enjoy it. that does not however stop morrowind from having been WAY better though, play it at some point. will blow you away.

 

[ZacQuickSilver]

What strikes me is how intensely HYPOCRITICAL that comment was because in Fable 2 you HAVE to work. It's not even introduced as some quest-disguised grind. It's just plain work.

This is the kind of comment that leads me to believe that most people who bash Fable 2 haven't actually played it. There are a ton of ways to make money in the game, and you don't HAVE to use any one of them.

Ummm. Someone else (Pyronox) posted that, not me.

 

[EnglishMuffin]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Best game ever, oh man that's hilarious.

Stupid people should be shot.

 

[Clashero]

Are these Bethesda games (Oblivion/Fallout3) mostly real-time action with pieces of RPG (like Bioshock), or mostly RPG with occasional pieces of action?

Oblivion is more action-oriented, while Fallout depends more on percentages than stats.

 

[TheButtonMashEffect]

Fallout 3 was an upgraded version of Oblivion. Fallout 3 though is better.

 

[z121231211]

Is it just me, or is complaining simultaneously that the game is *too hard* and *not hard enough* just *ironic*?

Well, it might seem that way if you completely misread what I was originally complaining about as being difficulty related when it was actually flow related.

If you want to complain about flow, complain about the random monster pop every 15 feet.

I hated that too, wolves travel in packs, but no, they're spread out in this game.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

I enjoyed the game, and I think many aspects were improved when compared to Morrowind but I think that overall I enjoyed Morrowind more. I certainly logged far more hours in Morrowind than Oblivion, though to be fair I was deployed when I played Morrowind and it was one of the only games I could actually play in my 7 inch LCD screen I had with me.

 

[Fineldar]

I still play Morrowind and Daggerfall. I thought Oblivion was awesome, for about a month. That's all I played pretty much, then I just hate it now. I got through Knights of the Nine and couldn't stomach Shivering Isles.

They changed the mediocre combat and magic system in Morrowind for a crappy once while improving the stealth. It's like they took Morroiwnd and changed it up for console tards. Oh wait..


You can complain about a game being too hard and not hard enough, just crappy difficulty curves.

 

[Fightgarr]

I have to say I could not get into this game. That isn't to say that I thought that it was bad, just... inaccessible to me. I enjoyed Morrowind for its fleshed out unique fungal world and its many factions and societies. I just didn't feel that fleshed out world vibe from Oblivion. I also found that while the environments were beautiful, they lacked creativity, in addition, I felt like a lot of the monsters lacked creativity (I like it better when fantasy games don't need to revert to goblins to come up with a small, easy enemy to fight at the beginning of a game).

In my time with it I just never got into it. It seems like the game you have to really get inside to have fun with.

 

[JWAN]

its a great game, but all you need to do is hit "C" and destroy everything

but the best game ever is star fox 64
