Ted & Sarah: The Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion

[The Catalyst]

Sarah makes some good points but she sounds like a *****...

Yeah, she does a bit. The guy sounds so calm and reasonable. But she sounds a bit shrill and whiny.

"Really?"

"Really?"

"Really?"

Ha ha! I know.

I surely hope Princess isn't modeling this on a real lady, because she would make my "Persons to avoid because they make you want to put an icepick in your ear" list.

Right up there next to Justin Bieber and [Xbox live user XXXX]?

Indeed.

Along with certain female politicians who over exaggerate the Northern American accent, Fran Drescher, Jar Jar Binks, Obama, Rosie Perez and Gilbert Gottfried. Some of those voices could strip paint.

All this talk reminds me of this video I saw once...
I like some of these artists he's imitating, but it's still funny. He actually is pretty good at doing these voices.

That was quite good.

*sigh* Comedy, how I love you...

It's odd, I sat through the Oblivion video, but not this...

 

[The Catalyst]

Well, i see the part where it may be funny, and maybe i'm just taking it too seriously, but i can't shake the feeling that Sarah is a pretentious ***** with her own definition of what a video game should be. Therefore, i couldn't watch the whole video. It just annoyed me to the point where i kept rolling my eyes every 5 seconds.

Really?

Really?
Really?
Really?
Made me smile.
It goes on and on, just like the comments on the Oblivion review. Sarah is savant.

Sounds like the kind of person who shouldn't be playing a rpg... I didn't make it all the way through, I just got the point where I wanted to punch her and then just stopped.

Oh well, at least they tried.

Precisely... XD

 

[Miumaru]

Ugh, shes giving the idiot reasons.
She would have hated Morrowind even more.

 

[SextusMaximus]

This was awful. Every point she makes has a counter argument that isn't fucking explained. As far as I can tell, the OP is trolling - bad computer voices and an infuriatingly poor arguments for a game many people love.

 

[The Catalyst]

I have a passion for Oblivion, my cousin however thinks exactly what that robot slut does. What exactly are some of these counter-arguments?

 

[SavingPrincess]

I'm surprised no one is getting to the end... you'd think the Oblivion fans would feel vindicated.

I have to say the video had me roflmao. In my opinion she expertly described the beginning of the game. I thought the exact same thing when I first played it and I also went 'wtf?' at everything that happened and it was because of this cluelessness that I never got any further than the city with the demon gate outside (amulet quest). Of course I think you left out the vital point where the game doesn't really educate you on how to kill things properly .I also thought the ending was hilarious

"Well I'm off to play Final Fantasy 13.
Why?
Because its Final Fantasy!"

It reminded me so much of arguments I usually have with my friends over games and reminded me of the particular one I had with a friend when I was actually buying the game.

And a message to the people who are upset at the video. It was done for a laugh. If you are unable to notice that it isn't taking the game seriously so that its funny then you might be a little bit more uptight then you should be over the game. In other words loosen up .

Jesus, there are loads of bad things about Oblivion, that she barely touched on or didn't mention at all. Instead, she starts ranting about no backstory and the main quest not being urgent?

To be fair she did mention the bad NPC models, atrocious voice-acting, lack of motivation and also briefly touched on the imbalances and the scaling.

Briefly, yeah, but she missed out the fact that the world is repetitive and dull, all of the dungeons are the same, and the quests are ultra-generic.

Maybe she game up on the game before she could notice all the copy/pasting.
Valid points though.

Welcome to the Escapist! Yes, I made it for fun. The game isn't awful, it's just meh. People just go nuts about the game, and I tried to bring a sort of "logical" perspective to the whole thing. Glad you enjoyed it!
