I so want this game. Alas my video card is on the list of those "guaranteed NOT to run Oblivion", so it's pretty fruitless for me to buy it. At this point, upgrading my PC is not an option.

 

I'm so sad.

 

Don't worry, it'll be nice and stable by the time you can afford to upgrade and there'll be plenty of mods available.

Buy an XBOX, Di! If you already have a decent TV it isn't too expensive.

Don't listen to her misleading claims. There is no Xbox version.

The holy Gamespot will tell us the truth!

Xbox xbox360. I can't tell the difference. Well, one i shaed like an X so I guess I can.

 

Di, it's Xbox 360! Not Xbox! Sorry. :">

Excellent.

 

Perhaps you will marry me?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

In a pathetic attempt to get this thread on-topic. NO, you can't marry anyone in Oblivion, and you can't have kids. Actually, there's no kids at all in Oblivion.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Maybe Emma can fix that...

Yeah. They sort the wheat from the... chaff? In software terms that is.

Can't wait for the game.

I never trust reviews.

I've noticed that PC Gamer are occassionally guilty of hyping the hell out of something when it is released, only to row back a few paces in the next issue (usually when a flood of reader feedback pours cold water on their hyperventilating reviewer).

 

The biggest problem in Morrowind (to me) was the bajillion fed-ex missions and the fatigue-throttled slow walking around the map.

For me it was the slow walking(corrected with Boots of Blinding Speed) and the clones.

but I loved it so I can't wait for oblivion, although I must since my PC can't handle it.

 

Stupid system hogs!

Long Live Galactic Civilizations 2!

I'm looking forward to reviewing this one.

Husby would NOT be thrilled if I commandeered the faamily tv set. So we're talking several hundred bucks for the XBox 360, plus several hundred bucks for an adequate tv to run it on, plus whatever a table that won't collapse under the weight of an adequate tv would cost. For that much, I could update my computer with a new video card AND a gig of RAM...

 

On the bright side, it will give me time to read gamer reviews and find out what equipment has trouble running it. *brave smile* So it's all good.

And most if not all of the best Xbox360 titles will make their way to PC eventually anyway.

Patience is the mother of all virtues. :D

Before getting my 360, my wife made me set up cable for her in the back room. Now we don't argue over the TV anymore.

I betcha "Kaftan Barlast", despite his snooty objections, will be the first in line to buy Oblivion.

 

Cause there is absolutely nothing out for single player CRPGs. He is as desperate for a good game as all of us.

 

Don't try to deny it Mr. Barlast. You cast aspersions on Oblivion, but come March 21st when you see people are playing it and having blast ... you will cave in and buy it. The feeling of missing out will overwhelm you.

 

P.S. -

The same thing will happen with Gothic 3.

No, I bet he'll pirate it to "make a statement".

I love the crusaders that pirate to make a statement. Sticking it to the big guy!

Did anyone see this? Bethesda is apparently making an Isometric version of Oblivion for mobile phones.

While it's just a phone game, it's still kind of funny.

I had to check that the date wasn't April the 1st when I saw that. It'll be interesting to see if it's worth getting.

Since I'm a lazy ****er, I'll just ask the designated Bethdev, does the mobile version use a similar dialogue system (without the awesomely kewl VAs) ?

No i didn't fail. I just wanted to irritate somebody. And actually i've done it!

It's just a mobile game, it likely doesn't have a dialogue system at all.
