Been waiting for this game.
Gamespot gave it an awesome review...
Only problem is... With Baseball starting and my current addiction to WoW, do I have the time to take on this monster?

my issue is PC vs. 360 version, I always think PC versions are superior than console, but I\'ve heard mixed things.
-
mods, mods, mods
-
the pc version is superior in this case... as it is in nearly every case
*pc gamer snob mode off*
why build that beastly rig if you aren\'t gonna use it? Read the reviews, the pc counterpart is the superior version IMO
-
People who have seen both up close say the PC version looks noticably better if you have the rig to run it.
Of course as mm said, there are already tons of mods for the PC version. Little things like switching your menu window to list 12 items instead of 6 (scrolling through all that is a pita), torch burns brighter, hot coffee mod, etc...
-
I got the 360 version.
There aren\'t any good mods at all yet. It usually takes more than a year for them to show up so until then, I\'ll stick with the 360 copy. By then, the PC version will be cheap.
-
no good mods yet?
:rofl:
obviously you haven\'t even looked
the 360 version is overpriced
-
But I got a brand new 360 sitting there with no games!
Although, I do use it quite a bit for Media Center.
-
I haven\'t looked? I\'m pretty damn convinced you are an idiot.
I was addicted to Morrowind. I know the PC version will be the superior purchase in the end, but I\'m not going to bother playing on my PC until there are mods such as the islands with structured towns in it. I know I would rather much play on my 62 inch HDTV and I very well damn know the good mods out right now are just simple ones that slightly improve gameplay.
So don\'t give me your retarded bullshit.
edit
I picked up Kingdom Hearts 2. Looks like I\'m going to take a break from Oblivion for a while.
-
I know I would rather much play on my 62 inch HDTV .
Thats why I\'m leaning towards the 360 version. I just got a new HDTV.
-
Consoles for the win. Anything else is BS :p
-
soul reaver, you have smoked yourself retarded
-
Thats why I\'m leaning towards the 360 version. I just got a new HDTV.
It really is the only good reason. Along with playing on my comfortable couch.
-
you have a wooden crate at your computer desk?
-
So there is nothing good about consoles?
-
No, apparently I\'m supposed to play on my PC all the time. I can\'t use my beautiful TV.
Oh, by the way mm.

;)
-
So there is nothing good about consoles?
sure there is, but not when it comes to crippled ports of PC games
soul reaver, should i be impressed by your consumerism?
not sure showing off a 2005fpw means anything
you get that desk at big lots?
-
That is a huge freaking desk.
-
My point flies over your dumb head, mm.
That is a huge freaking desk.
I have 20/15 vision so I prefer having the monitor far away unless I\'m playing a game.

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/theelderscrollsivoblivion/review.html?sid=6146657
Still addicted to WOW? I stopped when my job got real busy back in the summer and I never started back up. FIgured it\'s better that way.
-

You have two mice. Do they ever fight? :fighting:
-
one of them is a trackball, not a mouse. the mouse probably humps the trackball when he\'s not looking.
-
Very nice setup. The desk I was looking at actually looks a lot like that.
-
So yes, Oblivion. That game rocks. I picked it up for my PC although I\'d rather have the X360 version. But it\'d be easier for me to pay $50 for the PC version vs. $450+ for an X360 + the game.
It actually runs pretty damn decent on high settings on my PC, although I just have an OC\'ed 6800 GT.
-
I play it on and off when we\'re not raiding in WoW. I just got into the thieve guild yesterday and got my 1st trial quest to get into the dark brotherhood.
Very cool game :)
Beside mods and prettier graphic, another good thing about PC version are the tweaks. There are a lot of kickass feature in the .ini settings that you can enable to enhance the graphic (like you can decide which object type reflect on water and which dont such as Trees, building PC, NPC etc..) you can adjust the transparency in the water etc..etc..
Beside a few glitch here and there, this is a great game. The wait since morrowind was well worth it !
-
Agreed. Even I like Oblivion and I could barely stand Morrowind!
-
is that desk from Ikea? I\'ve been looking at the "Jerker" for my next desk. It\'s pretty cool how you can customize it with the shelving and whatnot.. plus I love the spread out workspace.
-
I seen some great mods at Planet ES Oblivion, such as great new character classes.
Gameplay > Screen Size
PC > console

Very much so...
Just rolled and Undead Warrior and I love it.

Like I said, simple ones.

No doubt, this game is very forgiving. A friend of mine is running it with a 6600 at high settings. The only thing he can\'t run is HDR it seems.

I can change one word in there and reverse it
Gameplay > graphics
Console > PC
:gfight:
-

class defining and world changing mods are hardly simple and something the crippled 360 version is presently incapable of doing
-

No, they are simple by my own opinion. I don\'t see whole worlds being created yet. Saying a game is crippled when it still has all the fun is pretty stupid though.
It\'s not like I\'m not going to buy the PC version so I\'m not missing out on shit.
edit
Please don\'t do the console vs pc thing. Assuming we are talking about multi-platform titles, I\'d actually have to go with PC because it\'s just obvious.
double edit
Anyone else here play Kingdom Hearts 2? Holy shit, it\'s so underwhelming.
-
I guess IGN was right about KH2.
There\'s a minor controversy over the 7.5 score they gave it.
-
IGN huh? I don\'t like them at all but I guess we have something to agree with this time.
-

i am going with the console vs pc thing.
oblivion on the pc is far superior to the 360 version.
to the point where the 360 version is a waste of money if you have a mid-grade PC
skipping KH2, the first one didn\'t really hold my interest

Is it that bad? :confused:
-

When you say mid-grade PC what specs are you refering to?
-
By the way, the 360 version is not running Oblivion on mid grade PC settings. You definitely have not played the 360 version if you say that. Every effect is on. Everything is ultra sharp, AA, HDR, anisotropic filtering, everything.
Is it that bad?
It\'s just not as fun as the first, but the story line is still intact. I\'d still check it out if you\'re a KH fan.
Direct feed video of Oblivion for the 360. (http://ftp://04889f0119e56304:93c49a8b490a5b70@media4.xboxyde.com/10min_oblivion_720p_part1.avi)
Right click, save-as.
-
anisotropic filtering
wanna bet on that?
:P
-
Did you even watch the video? I\'m playing the game right now.
-
Video no worky.

I particularily liked this reply to the artice:
"Barding". Well, ooh la di da, Mr. French Man. And it\'s not a "garage", it\'s a "car hole"
People will be ripped off as long as the allow themselves to be. Of course MS or any other company is going to charge whatever they can for anything they can as long as people are willing to pay for it. Unfortunately for the \'reply with your wallet\' movements, there\'s a lot of idiots out there with more money than brains who sustain such pricing paradigms.

You do realize PC people will be paying for the mods too right?

https://obliviondownloads.com/StoreCatalog_ProductList.aspx?SubCategoryId=1
Them.
-
Official mods yes, user-created mods no.
We have the console online expurrience to thank for that. :\\
-
lol, like any PC user can\'t browse out to megagames or any mod site and freely get them
the titled isn\'t crippled on the PC version
-
Title isn\'t crippled on the 360 version. I don\'t see how the gameplay is limited by the lack of modding. The PC version can merely be enhanced. (ooo the magic of wording)
-
Imo, it\'s one thing to pay for a graphical mod in an online game, but for a single player game where you\'ll get tired of the same outfit after a week, that\'s sort of a sham.
-
^^^^^^^
Yet people will continue to buy them (PC or 360).
I believe I read somewhere that they are coming out with expansions of entire worlds. Something like that might warrant a purchase, but it sounds like in the end, bestheda just wants to cash in a little on a modding community that they know exists.
-
i\'d be shocked if more than four-six PC users actually pay for the mod instead of just downloading it for free from a community site (which is never an option with the 360 version)
there\'s dozens and dozens of mods for the PC version which already completely change the landscape/environment and the game has been out for how many weeks?
how many xbox gamers actually paid for counterstrike when it was released?
-
you have to pay for mods on the 360? lol..that sucks.
Do you have to pay for all the downloads? because i heard they had demos and things for download, not just mods.
-
I guarantee there are some morons in the PC market buying this so that they can be the \'31337 d00d5\' on the official game servers. Goddamn I hate morons so much (and I\'m currently actively investing this hate into fictional/possible/probably idiot strangers).
-
so that they can be the \'31337 d00d5\' on the official game servers.
single player!!1111
-
\'31337 d00d5\' on the unofficial fansites picture section?
Oh and mm, the xbox userbase buying counterstrike has nothing to do with oblivions playability that you say is so crippled by being on a console. Stay on topic. Thanks.
-
shame people threw away 10$ more dollars on it than the PC version
-
And for people like me that don\'t own a PC but is thinking about picking up a console?
-
just go buy a pc
I don\'t see the problem?
-
you posting from your xbox 360?
-
haha it\'s that horse shit, what the fuck bethesda
oh by the way, it\'s also "free" for the 360 version
-
you posting from your xbox 360?
From my mac, and last time I checked a 360 is going to be cheaper than a PC that can run games at the equivalent graphics.
-

For a year,lol. Cept you have to upgrade you\'re PC once the games get better..obviously the downside of PC\'s.
-
oh, pc\'s game only at 1280x720 and without anisotropic filtering?
and mac\'s too, go go boot camp
and please let me know when the 360 can do any of the 1000\'s of things PC\'s can aside from play games
-
*sigh*
My mac can do everything I need it to do EXCEPT play games. Why spend all the cash for a pc when I can get a console for cheaper and still play my games? And whats this jibberish about pc games only at 1280X720 business. All I said was that the cost of a pc that would be able to do gaming at the equivalent of the 360 would exceed the cost of a 360.
-
and i\'m saying you\'re wrong.
think a 400$ pc can\'t do what the 360 can?
price your HDTV to achieve that 720P video first (otherwise you\'re playing at standard TV resolution), and we\'ll start adding costs after that.
-
well, XBOX360 is more mainly a game console, while a PC is more multi-function....
but I do think XBOX360 is more powerful than a $400 PC right now. XBOX360 runs at 3.2 GHz speed with 512 MBytes of Unified RAM with 10 MBytes of Embedded RAM with a 40 Gbytes HDD for $400.
If you bought a PC with motherboard that support 3.2 GHz speed, and a 3.2 GHZ CPU, with a 256 Mbytes Video Card, and another 256 Mbytes of main RAM, I believe it will cost more than XBOX360. Either way, a 3.2 GHz CPU for PC is different than a 3.2 GHZ for Video game console. Both are design differently for different reasons. One was design mainly for games while the other are more multi-function...
-
Hee hee, thought I\'d fan the flames some.
PC buyers now get a coupon when they buy so the download is free. 360 are SOL. It\'s only 2 bucks, but still :p

guys!

$400 pc\'s that can outdo the 360 exist seriously!

Having a blast with Oblivion on X360. I went out and bought the horse armor for 200 pts ($2.50). :D

More downloads on the way!
Link (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/700/700654p1.html)
The post also makes mention of the upcoming downloadable content, The Orrery and The Wizards Tower. Unlike the Horse Armor update earlier this week, The Orrery will add a new quest, rewards and powers for your character. Bethesda is hoping to release it next week for a cost of 150 Microsoft Points ($1.88) on the Xbox 360 Marketplace, and $1.89 for PC.

nsf56k seriously
oblivion in all it\'s glory on my x1900xt
All the sliders and options in the Oblivion control panel are maxed.
4x anti-aliasing is on, so is Adaptive Antialiasing (the fancy ATI AA that works on alpha textures too), 8x anisotropic filtering with High Quality AF on also (the other fancy ATI thing that makes AF get applied to every texture at every angle).

I tried taking pictures since I have a 60 inch hdtv but my camera isn\'t so nice. I wish it was easier to get direct feed shots with a console.
