Volourn Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 What's worse than either are crybaby haters who just can't stand the fact that people actually like/paid to like soemthing they don't, and post a billion times how dumb they are for liking x game or y company. Oh, the humanity! Liking a game someone else doesn't. BOO HOO! R00fles! P.S. Bethesda is a horrible company, and if you like them or their games you have poor taste! HAHAHA! P.S.S.

alanschu Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 There is a difference between liking something and being totally blind to the obvious shortcoming in game design ie. being a fanboy/girl.(not saying anything about you personally) What about those that are obviously blind to the obvious positive aspects of a game?

Those are the anti fanboys aka the haters. They're just as bad. Ignorance in general is kind of bad, actually. Edited October 15, 2009 by Purkake

Killian Kalthorne Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 I find Oblivion a pretty fun game. At least on the console. In the Mages' Guild end quest I infiltrated the Necromancers' lair, pretty much back stabbed every Necromancer then burned their corpse with fire, then took on Mannimarco pretty easily, trapping his soul in a black soul gem. IRONY!. I then dumped his corpse in the nearby water and admired it as it floated away.

Every now and again you make some sensible statements, I mean this kinda thing is a RARE event, but then you got and post something like this and it's all /facepalm and /shakehead. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!
Masterfade Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 And the great points in Oblivion are? Ok, seriously, I thought a few quests were well done but otherwise it was a bad game. Like awesome looking trees? Lots of games use speedtree but to date I've never seen anyone do it better than Oblivion. It's truly the greatest hiking sim ever.

Daedric Cagoule + Thermos of Holding, five bucks for the pair.
Slowtrain Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 It's truly the greatest hiking sim ever. There you go. A bit of Oblivion praise that I can't deny. Never thought I would see the day. *shakes head* Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
Syraxis Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 It's truly the greatest hiking sim ever. Especially when you disable the AI/despawn enemy NPCs and disable oblivion gate triggers.

Humanoid Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I derived more entertainment reading the anti-walkthrough than from the game itself, but that required the game to exist in the first place. So another plus point there. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
Wrath of Dagon Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I thought Knights of the Nine was some of the best content in Oblivion, but Shivering Isles had too many repetitive dungeons, though some of the story was kind of neat.

Monte Carlo Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 I only watched the first minute or so, very excited German chap opens the Media-Kit DA pack. It appears to be wrapped in a swatch of parchment bound with a leather cord. This is a map of Ferelden. Inside is a comedy plastic box cunningly disguised as an Epic Tome of POWA. Inside is... ... a mystery 'cos I got bored at this point. Then again, for a media freebie it did look very nice. The journo had a minor Geekgasm. Cheers MC

Purkake Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 The video still works for me. Basically the laugh points were: 1) It was delivered by a dude in actual plate mail 2) The game is in a hollow book, signed by the lead developers(?) and it has an audio clip in it when you open it like the singing holiday cards.

Every single copy played was bought.
