When people say things like that it makes me wonder if were playing the same game.
Can you guys run it maxed out with no lag?
Yup.
exactly the same thought, i played it for 10 minutes before i was so appalled i uninstalled it. this is how it played in my view, boobs........click to hit a guy, do i have to click on that guy again? no not really, it just auto attacks, if i click again at the specified moment i get an extra attack, woo freaking hoo. wait i can change attack styles how magnificantly boring. ok i've had a few fights, killed a few more people.......it seems i should talk to the chick with the overflowing boobs again. is there story here, or is it all talking to chicks with great racks.
i couldn't see a single thing redeeming about it, in the end, quests, story the main thing you'll do in an action game is, fight. the combat system is beyond horrific. it might be the most boring and uninvolving combat i've ever seen in a game.
Pretty sure this is why age of conan will fail. people seem to think banging chicks in games is fantastic, and seeing lots of fake boobs seems to stop people noticing a awful game behind the boobs. just get lots of kids playing these games thinking its cool.
EDIT:- forgot to mention, the one other important thing when you're running around a world a lot is camera and movement, both of which again, are ludicrously bad. in all games like these the VERY FIRST thing you sort out to be easy, smooth and good are camera and movement, then combat. it fails completely at the most basic levels, the rest doesn't matter to me. even if it was a great story hidden somewhere deep in one of those womens corsets. i'm not going to play 10 hours, or 100 hours of a game thats just painful to control.
Wow, that's how I felt about the combat lol. Right at the start in the castle bits I was like wtf, this isn't fun fighting. On my last save my char is still in the village on Act 1. I'll check the game out later today methinks.exactly the same thought, i played it for 10 minutes before i was so appalled i uninstalled it. this is how it played in my view, boobs........click to hit a guy, do i have to click on that guy again? no not really, it just auto attacks, if i click again at the specified moment i get an extra attack, woo freaking hoo. wait i can change attack styles how magnificantly boring. ok i've had a few fights, killed a few more people.......it seems i should talk to the chick with the overflowing boobs again. is there story here, or is it all talking to chicks with great racks.
Have you ever played an RPG before? Compared to NWN, Dungeon Siege, Diablo etc. the combat is much more involved and fluid. In these games you clicked repeatedly without timing and pretty much stayed still during the fight. In this at least you can move, jump over and avoid while timing your blows. It's also quite spectacular to watch in motion with visceral cuts and fancy spins that make it much more attractive than any user controlled fighting game has. I can only assume you've played it in over the shoulder perspective and misunderstood why it's not like Napper Basher 5 or some other dumbed down console game for slack jawed, button mashing retards. It's not an "action game"!exactly the same thought, i played it for 10 minutes before i was so appalled i uninstalled it. this is how it played in my view, boobs........click to hit a guy, do i have to click on that guy again? no not really, it just auto attacks, if i click again at the specified moment i get an extra attack, woo freaking hoo. wait i can change attack styles how magnificantly boring. ok i've had a few fights, killed a few more people.......it seems i should talk to the chick with the overflowing boobs again. is there story here, or is it all talking to chicks with great racks.

Let me know what your specs are please.
And what would your average FPS be?
i didnt like oblivion at all (i own it, played it for a number of hours, i prefer more linear games).
I feel the same way. I got out of the dungeon/underground area at the beginning and was like, "now what?"
The answer being, of course: "Whatever you want". Well, almost anyway. That's what most of us like about it. Lord knows the rest of the game holds your hand enough, without the main plot being out of your control as well.

I like to be told a story, or to follow a path. Oblivion is impressive for being so open, but its too open ended. It would be better suited as an mmo due to its scale, at least then there would be people to encounter on ya travels.
Yeah, Oblivion felt totally barren of npcs compared to The Witcher, which was teeming with life. What I liked also was even generic npcs had something interesting to say/have the odd quest available etc. That sort of thing is more immersive imo than a big wide open sandbox with not much in it.
