Hurlshort Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I really only trust Computer Gaming World, but every review is honest if you read carefully. Game companies will always try and endear themselves to reviewers, and you can usually tell how affected someone is by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diogo Ribeiro Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Jeez. That's such a boring answer. WHere did you get your license? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you were expecting any other kind of reply from such a self-explanatory statement, then you'll have to look elsewhere. If you want to find out why some people favor one over the other I'm sure someone will be more than happy to satisfy your curiosity; I would do it if I wasn't pretty bored of having the same discussion time and again. But outright stating you aren't bothered by it doesn't really beg for much for discussion since your mind is apparently set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadly_Nightshade Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 so do people think i should cancel my pre-order, or just get patches? Deadly_Nightshade "Geez.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 well people were saying it might be better to get a later copy because of bugs...

BattleCookiee Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Might as well get it now if you're going to end up getting it anyway. All games have bugs, so it's nothing new That is if you get it for the PC. For X-box I would watch a while... since these bugs cannot be fixed (MS with their no patches by live rule etc.) what probably means all the bonus packs will get features like "less crashes... less quest-stopping glitches and no longer a 0 weight when you still carry 15 heavy harnasses...

Hurlshort Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hehe, bonus packs. Console versions tend to be a bit more stable anyways though, since the hardware is all the same. I'm sure our local Bethesda rep. can correct me, but I think the console and PC versions are developed simultaneously, but they aren't exact replicas. I've had a few Xbox 360 games go through a game "update" the first time I played them. I don't know if this is a patch, but MS needs to make this easier to do. Why else have my 360 on my network?

BattleCookiee Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 but I think the console and PC versions are developed simultaneously, but they aren't exact replicas. I certainly hope not. Didn't they learn of the DX:IW mess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowtrain Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I was just looking over the gameplay section of the FAQ again and really, if even most of the stuff in the FAQ is accurate and well-implemented, this will be one of the best single-player crpgs ever. FOr those who are actually interested: http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.p...5entry3495765 I am sewriously thinking abot buying it the day of release again. *twitches* Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.

Meshugger Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) I really only trust Computer Gaming World, but every review is honest if you read carefully. Game companies will always try and endear themselves to reviewers, and you can usually tell how affected someone is by that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Gamespot are pretty harsh like CGW, but they tend to over-rate the sport titles from time to time. Edge magazine has really good, indepth reviews and is very harsh aswell. Only 5 games have achieved 10/10 through it's lifetime + it has best layout and articles aswell. If Edge gives Oblivion a score higher than 7/10, then i will definately buy it.

Silpheed Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I'll probably get it at the release here. If it's bugged to hell, I'll just twiddle my thumbs and wait for the patch. I've played all the Elder Scrolls games since Arena and I haven't regretted purchasing any of them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 You have to realize that Edge is reaching a certain audience, and an RPG might not be suited for that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
