Sand Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 (edited) I am bitter because we aren't getting the FO 3 which Van Buren should have been.

jaguars4ever Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Would expectations of conjunctions, prepositions and otherwise non-fragmented sentences be unrealistic, or are grammatically complete dialogues also something Bethesda doesn't do well?

Gorth Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 If they are going to do voiceovers for everything, I hope they hire more than 3 male and 3 female voice actors Ok, so I didn't complete the Oblivion, but the repetitions were obvious, even after a few nights of gaming. No bonus points for the sound part of the game. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Pop Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I was underwhelmed by Patrick Stewart's turn in Oblivion. It was probably the trite high-fantasy nature of the material :'( but come on, he could've done so much better. He was ****in' Picard, man. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Spider Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I actually thought Stewart was very good in Oblivion. By far the best voice acting in the game. Of course he only had what, ten lines? So it's not like he made that big of an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Replayability in a game like Oblivion is kind of a moot point though. If you like the game, you'll be playing it enough the first time that you will have gotten your money worth. I think I clocked something like 150 hours, which is more than four playthroughs of KotOR. And there were still stuff to be done if I wanted to (didn't reach maxlevel, didn't clear all dungeons, but I think I did most of the quests except the Bark Brotherhood ones). You complain about a lot of things when it comes to Oblivion, but not getting your money's worth isn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Value isn't about length. I get NO VALUE for any of the ES series and I doubt Oblivion is any different. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Note how I said "If you like the game". If you think Oblivion sucks you clearly won't get your money's worth of it, regardless of how replayable or not it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I should have quoted the last sentence. IMO, If someone likes a game I automatically consider them getting their money's worth.

Spider Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Vol, if you had quoted the last sentence it would have been taken drastically out of context. My post was a direct response to DR's post directly ahead of mine. Specifically "Nah must be replayable. I wnt my moneys worth gfrom a product. " And all I was saying is that if you like the type of game Oblivion is, replayability is a non-issue because you will have been able to get more play-time in than you'd get from most games doing five playthroughs. The only thing replayability does is add more hours to your game experience, and if you get enough hours the first time, then it doesn't matter. Note that I'm not trying to say that Oblivion is a great game and that either of you two will like it. You know your tastes better than I do. All I was ever saying is that it's certainly worth the price of admission if you like that type of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view of getting one's money worth from a game is being able to replay it a again doing different options compared to your first play. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
