Got $30, Oblivion is $24, should i buy it?

i finally played it last week after all the hype id heard, and wow i was disappointed.

If youre into RPG's, then yeah youll probably like it. Otherwise, its boring as hell. HUGE map (but everything basically looks the same). Its got quantity, but short on quality. Im no RPG fanatic, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Get GTA4 (if you dont have it), if youre lookin for a long game

So I have the whole summer off until my college starts again. I've been basically practicing my guitar and playng games. I'm looking for a long game, like Oblivion. Is it really that good? as everyone says, thanks!SiKh22

Eh, over-rated, but still great fun.

... and this is coming from someone who doesn't like WRPGs.

Maybe if you buy it, they'll have enough money to afford more than 2 voice actors!Andrew_Xavier

Lol I thought they were like 5

That many? Maybe, they do change voices mis-speech a lot, so, it could be 5, which is okay, except, it's for over 100 people :P

is the game bad? Andrew in your point of view. I dont want to waste money, cause I'm saving up for my next semester of college. thanks!SiKh22

It's shallow, I wouldn't say bad, the voice acting is brutal in it, literally, people change voices in mid-go, homeless woman sound like royalty if you ask the right question, the combat is not good, the main quest is as generic as it comes, the rpg aspects are light, etc, there are major problems with it.

Unless you have an addictive personality, then no.

well can you guys recommend me a game then thas long and fun, 60 dollars is fine, i was keeping my budget at 30. SiKh22

Oblivion is great but it has a long learning curve, i dont mean to say it's hard but it takes a while to learn how everythign works and how to best make a character, so it's a bit of trail and error but it's addicting once you get into it.

There are some bugs and some things that can be a bit annoying but the huge varied world and quest makes up for it and it is a beautiful game.

So saying all that, it actually takes a while to enjoy but once you do, you'll get so many hours from it. easily the longest game i've put hours into on a console.

Oh and if you are a person who can easily rp yourself into the game, it gets alot more interesting, otherwise it might just end being an general hack and slash experience.

Get the game of the year edition.Lyphe2k

I'd say yes. You'll get your money's worth and then some. I just realized on the character I tend to play most, I had 100 hours by the time I finished the storyline of Shivering Isles as well as the main storyline for the original game. There's still lots to do and explore besides that.
