poolofpoo Posted April 11, 2006 Author Posted April 11, 2006 If by CRPG you mean Crappy Rendered and Programmed Game, then yeah. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah...yeah! that's exactly what i mean but of course, to enjoy the game you must be able to afford the hadware necessary to play it. Lois: Honey, what do you say we uh...christen these new sheets, huh? Peter: Why Lois Griffin, you naughty girl. Lois: Hehehe...that's me. Peter: You dirty hustler. Lois: Hehehehe...

LoneWolf16 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 For some reason, this topic reminds me of this. I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast
Dark_Raven Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Oh? We will have to see how it compares to the Great Fallout games. The Fallout games are the best CRPGs IMO. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Musopticon? Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Our resident idiot is back! :D kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Meshugger Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 nothing Black Isle, Troika, Obsidian or Bioware made comes even close there you have it folks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sure, and Ford is the best car ever made. Nothing from Lamborghini, Ferrari or Rolls Royce comes even close.

Haitoku Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Oblivion might have a lot going for it in the action department. But anyone know has even for a second done the main quest knows there is something rather important missing...
metadigital Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Doesn't Ford own Rolls Royce? " OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Shadowstrider Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Comparing Troika to Ferrari lost you all credit.
Nick_i_am Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 To be fair, Llyranor destroys this guy. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Exploration B - Lots to explore but it's mostly just the same old stuff. Character Creation B - Lots of options to play around with. Too easy to make a non viable character (not enough warning of this). Combat B - It's fun but it's about as deep as a puddle. NPCs D - They range from bad to awful . Story F - Not only is it totally not compelling. It's also completely opposite to the wander around you have all the time in the world design of the game. Overall C. Methinks mr P is taking the P anyway :D I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
Gromnir Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) am not sure we needed 'nother oblivion thread... not for this. in any event, we is not a huge fan of oblivion, and we see some major flaws in it, but it were not a badly made game... not for what it were 'posed to be. it were kinda a diablo 2 + sidequests... and given the popularity of diablo 2 we not see that as a bad thing. also, right now there is 0 single player crpgs available other than oblivion, so bethesda gots that going for 'em too. is not a terrible game for what it trys to be... but even so, it has 'nuff Big flaws that we has a hard time understanding the typical reviews we seen from most notable sites. is too many reviews that is claiming that oblivion is perfect or near perfect. worst game evar? not even close... though reading codex might make you think so. best game in 10 years? again, not even close... though reading the reviews might give you that impression. is an okie dokie action-rpg at a time when nothing else is on the menu, and for those famished fans who is seemingly hungry 'nuff to thinks that those cheeseburgers with the grey meat and stale bun served in your average public school cafeteria is gourmet fare, oblivion is a satisfying morsel. it is what it is. HA! Good Fun!

poolofpoo Posted April 11, 2006 Author Posted April 11, 2006 best game in 10 years? again, not even close... though reading the reviews might give you that impression. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i'm not saying it's the best game evva, i'm saying it's the best cprg it doesn't have the best story or writing it doesn't have the best action or level up mechanism, it doesnt have the best engine or graphics.. but there's no other cprg where all the pieces come together like they do in oblivion. I dare you to name one Lois: Honey, what do you say we uh...christen these new sheets, huh? Peter: Why Lois Griffin, you naughty girl. Lois: Hehehe...that's me. Peter: You dirty hustler.

Lyric Suite Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 it doesn't have the best story or writing it doesn't have the best action or level up mechanism, it doesnt have the best engine or graphics.. but there's no other cprg where all the pieces come together like they do in oblivion. I fail to see how that is a good thing...

Llyranor Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 No, all the elements are the best features ever on their own, and they combine their awesomeness to produce the most awesomenessest ultimator game. It's not even a game, it's a life-changing experience. Or so they say. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
