I think that The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion is way too long! you have so many side quests, a huge world to explore, and the 10 hour main quest what else could be big about this game...well duh! THE NEW EXPANSIONS!!! I haven't even played them yet and I have played 96 hours 43 minutes into the game. That is a lot of freakin gameplay. Everyone must agree on this the two most annoying side quest in the whole freakin game is the "Nirnroot Quest" and the "Vampire Cure Quest"! AGREED!?:roll:

No, not agreed. I think you should stop getting RPG's as it seems they just aren't your type of game.

And yet your avatar is Halo.

Why play games then if you've only ever found two that you like?

how can it be a bad point that the game offers so much to do. if you dont like the length of it then stop playing when ur sick of playing.

its like moaning about buying a box of choclates because they have given you 50% extra free

i'm really starting to dislike children at this point. not all of them mind you. there are some nice people on the board. but then, we encounter one of these. i make it simple. Oblivion is a RPG. RPG's take a long time. That's the point.

Only 97 hours? I put over 250 hours into Morrowind and only got about halfway through the main story. I should hope it takes you at least 100 hours to get through it. That is kinda the point of having such a massive free roam game, to be able to do unnecessary side quests and exploration if you want or to rush through the main story if you prefer that instead. If you don't like it, try something that isn't a huge, open world that gives you all the choices about what you are going to do. Maybe a slightly more linear game would please you, but please don't complain that a developer made a huge game that is actually worth the pricetag.

At 1st there is alot of stuff to do, but once you get into the game and understand how everything works, you cant find enough things to do! I love the guilds, i would much rather have guilds for expansions than another island lol.

But the game is a masterpiece, and its deff one of the best games made on the 360. I would go as far as saying its one of the best games ever made, but thats all my opinion :)

I dont know guys....i kinda agree witht he poster on this. I'd much rather shell out $60 on a game that takes me 6hrs to complete. Gosh, the nerve of those developers making a game that actually doesnt make you feel bad or cheated for spending your hard earned $'s on it. Creeps.

Dont worry man you can make the game as long as you want, but believe me, after you exit the imperial sewers in the beginning, your gonna s#it yourself like i did, its a whole new world in your tv screen.

Dudes they said before the game was released that it was going to be a LONG game with almost infinite possibilities. And if you think its to much play as long as you can stand then dont play anymore.

Ha I loved that game (traded all my games in for Mass Effect and Bioshock) the first time I played I didn't know that there were multiple menus, or that you could fast travel and I was so lost, after that I beat the game like around 6 times, and god it is so intense, a really underrated game, but I think if fallout 3is supposed to be an RPG Bethesda better work their asses off.

OBLIVION is a HUGE game.

I'm sad to say I have never completed the cure for vampirism quest. I always get stuck in to the sun and die.

Try playing eldar scrolls II:daggerfall it is longer, deeper, and bigger.

It is a american open rpgl ong and free that is why it is good. U dont have to play everything just take fromwhat u want and leave the rest.

I disagree. Oblivion and all of it's expansions are the prefect length. It is so far my favorite game for this generation. Now if could only load faster I would problably retire all of my other games.

to sim_genius:without doin any other quests and just focusing on the main quest then it probably takes at least 20-35hrs, maybe. i say don't buy it.not worth it!

i actually take offense to that. i am young and saying i cant play rpgs is crap because i beat oblivion, main quest and all guilds, and i dont have the attention span of a pea, lol, because maybe an 8 year old cant play an rpg but i love every moment of the 60+ hours that spent with it. be careful what you say, because that was a general statement, i find that maybe because kids are so active minded that they can only play games that require fast movements and ones that are full of action, which i am VERY fond of, but i still like to sit down to an rpg with a good story and good gameplay once in a while. as for oblivion, probably in my top 3 games of all time.

So true. The saddest part is they are only a product of their environment. It's not their fault(for the most part), its the generation that raised them.

Halo's too short. Mass Effect is too long. Oblivion is too long.

Can you give us an example ofa game that has the ideal length?

Why complain. I'm happy as hell they made it "too long". It's better than those retarted games that take less than 24 hours to complete without even trying. I can already see if Bethesda makes another TES, it's gonna kick every other games ass. I'm still playing Oblivion after a year and a half already.

I´ve completed absolutely every single quest/sidequest/DLC/Expansion on the game, read everything and checked all the possibilities on the quests, bought all houses, got all the important items, Reached 100 on all the skills and got all the magic, I did the whole crap without cheats. Time....530 Hours...When I completed everything I killed every single NPC on the game, when finished I just went to my House in Skingrad, left all my items on the boxes, weapons, clothes evrything, took the beggar clothes and went to the most remote cave in the game, and shut myself up on the last room of it, saved, deleted all the previous saved games, then I turned off the computer, went to my bed, look towards the ceiling and realized I wasted 530 Hrs on gameplay...I do not regret it, but I could´ve spent more time with my girlfriend :(...Now I´m waiting more Mass Affect to come out for PC on May 28th, Told my girlfriend to purchase it as a gift since my bday was on 05/19th, she stared and me and told me, Don´t u rather prefer to have a special dinner with me...I´m still thinking about I should say...I hope everything were like the Witcher...If you know what Im talking about...DOES "THE ABANDONED MILL" RING ANY BELL?

I clocked about 240 hours of gameplay without even touching Shivering Isles and I only completed some of the expansion packs. That game is a blast. If it's too long for you, then don't play it. I loved it and I wish Bethesda would make an Elder Scrolls game that encompassed ALL of the provinces and allowed free roaming through the entire world. It would probably take me at least 5 years to beat it but it would be the best RPG ever made. :)

I chose to play through most the content (at least main quest and guilds with a few side quests) but no one forced me to. if its to long then only play the main quest or something. i like the length. I feel i got my moneys worth.

Thats not far to all of us. I almost wish Oblivion could be longer (not that it wasnt long enough, just that it was so much fun that I never want it to end). I am looking forword to playing through shivering isles. And even if i thought oblivion was to long, i just wouldnt play it all, i wouldnt make a post whining about it. Were not all bad.
