Oblivion Reviews
So far Oblivion is averaging a staggering 95.5% at gamerankings.com. but the highlight has to be the gamespot.com review.
9.6 http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/...ml?sid=6146657 Seeing as this is Gamespot reviewing the game, that is an incredible score, and by far the highest I've personally seen on that site. Man, I need to get this game. |
Re: Oblivion Reviews
I'm not a huge RPG person but Oblivion is doing well for me so far. It defaulted my graphics to medium with 640x480 resolution (9800 Pro, Athlon XP running at 3200+, 2 gigs of ram) so I bumped it to 1024x768 and runs perfectly fine. Might tweak a few other graphics to bump it up a small notch.
But I'm having moderate fun with it. As said, never been a big/deep RPG person. Doubt I will be with this game but I'll play through to "beat" it. |

CoV/CoH is a more...simpler MMORPG I guess is how you would say it. I tried WoW, EQ2, other various MMO betas but none appeal to me.
Just CoV/CoH is simpler but not too simple that I stop playing |
Re: Oblivion Reviews
The COH/COV games are also much more combat based and they don't delve into game element fabrication like Oblivion or traditional MMORPGs. This makes them more accessible to more gamers.
While this makes for a much more manic, fast twitch game, it really takes away from the depth for me, which is why I love RPGs. |
Re: Oblivion Reviews
Jonbo, you don't just "beat" an Elder Scrolls game. They take days of play time...... I think I played 120 hours of Morrowind before I beat it. ;)

Re: Oblivion Reviews
If you go back and look, I did quote beat for a reason

Re: Oblivion Reviews
1024x768, it autodetected me for "high settings."
Looks like I won't be too disapointed that I don't have a 360, unless I had a hi-def TV to compliment it. It runs bueno. No joke. I'm cruising in game and it's fantabulous. The only bump so far is that the videos don't want to load and they are running choppy.....I'm thinking it's a frame video card problem, or an audio/video issue with my DVD rom drive. Giggity gay, a small small price to pay considering the gameplay hasn't had a hitch yet. |
Re: Oblivion Reviews
what are your system specs?

Re: Oblivion Reviews
sigh, if I didn't have this home loan, I could buy an Xbox 360

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (I really should overclock the thing) 1 Gig of ram Once you get outside it tends to chop up here and there, so no HDR for me. Right now I'm envious of all 360 owners just because HDR improves the game by leaps and bounds, but I'll be getting a laptop for college, and hopefully it'll come stocked with a 7800gtx or ATI's newest card. (right now ATI is pumping slightly more powerful cards, SLI is where Nvidia is rocking socks) There's a lot of pop up in the foilage, kind of like Far Cry has, and things don't look as pretty in the distance as I suspect they could on a killer system. I want to see this game run on a system with quad-sli. The nice thing is there's so much to do this game will probably have enough replayability to last people through a hardware upgrade. It's like solitare squared. |

Just an Amazon review. It's making me rethink how much time I really want to spend towards trying to build an uber character. |
Re: Oblivion Reviews
i agreee with the review about the level system where you can't get good items until you reach a high level, that does suck.
what i don't agreee with are point 1 and 3, the UI for the PC has added buttons to go where you want to go. F1-F4 go to the different menus, i guess he just hasn't read the read-me file. and the third point is not true either, gaurds don't appear there out of nowhere, if nobody sees you stealing something, they don't appear at all. i've tried. but i do whole heartedly agree about the monster levels and the equipment not being available until you're a higher level. although it does make this game challenging, there is no way of raping anybody/thing in the game with superb equipment. and i have no other complaints so far. |
Re: Oblivion Reviews
The only area that bothers me is that the monsters level with you. I don;t like that at all. Part of the fun of a deep game like this is being able to go back and just wipe out lower level areas. It gives you a sense of accomplishment in the game and lets you actually feel like your becoming one of the more powerful beings in the realm. On the flip side, when you come across an enemy that much more powerful than you, you get a sense of how much farther you have to go.

Re: Oblivion Reviews
Didn't Morrowind have something like that? I remember killing the mobs with the same difficulty when I was lvl 60 as when I was 10.... But there you didn't really notice, I guess.
