Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Review IGN

[BoxedPchannel]

this game sucks



[LPmelaniphy]

im still playing skyrim. but im starting oblivion on my PC. never played it. soooo excited :D

[Friteradpannkaka]

Wow, not just technically (ofcource), but the design is so inferior to Skyrim.

[minecabbage]

2008- wow these graphics are AMAZING

2012- What the F%#$ is THIS?

don't get me wrong i love this game

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

@minecabbage 2006 not 2008

[TheMostDefinately]

Is this game worth getting now that skyrim is out? I loved fallout 3.

[Xdeser1]

@TheMostDefinately ya its still pretty great

[brrrrr12]

wtf did the same guy review skyrim?

[Dradley2015]

NEVER, NEVER fight enemies is Oblivion gates! Run through them!

[reevesdamn]

please tell me the camera angle can be change to 3rd person

[zoidberg96913]

I think its the same thing as arena. You interact with the same emperor.

[oggwurt]

A few improvments...

[JAEProductions1]

There should be a comparison between Skyrim and Oblivion. Cos I went to buy Skyrim today but it wasn't in stock but then I decided to buy Oblivion and I might buy Skyrim later.

[Shooterstyle12]

@JAEProductions1 skyrim is the sex man better graphics improvements etc

[ShmoofPHI]

I think this game came out before PS3...haha interesting

[Oceanrust4]

I miss this ign

[awsomepossum1340]

i remember getting this in 2006. It was my favorite of the series. Something about it is just so upbeat and fun. Unfortunately it has not aged well. :(

[Josuanda1177]

No you can't get shouts. Unfortunately. But it's still my favorite on personally, it feels original and fun to play. If you are thinking about getting it you should, definitely. The five year anniversary is about $30.

[SportsCenterist]

Can u get shouts in this like skyrim plz respond

[soccersport]

@SportsCenterist Nope There are no Dragons.

[sporeadict227]

amazing how much the tech has changed in 4 yrs

[TrasherPop]

@sporeadict227 5 years

[BossxXxDude]

This is BS. There is actually a quest where you have to talk with invisible people.

[Minariability]

@trasherpop goty, cheaper yet better.

[TrasherPop]

@Minariability what is the difference?

[TrasherPop]

Should I get the 5th year anniversary edition or the game of the year edition?

Please respond

[thaneros]

I tried to get into this game but its just boring idk I guess I'm not a fan of fantasy settings

[undercop5567]

That puppy at the start is beating the piss out of you, bro

[liu7]

Funny thing is if you watch skyrim's review they basically say the same things

[jmk01234]

I just bought this game brand new yesturday and it does not work ;{

[tacomaster141]

@jmk01234 You should have bought it on demand

[thelankytank]

never played elder scrolls. i wanna try this before i hit skyrim up though to get the feel

[AidasEchoe]

240p we meet again -.-

[pedi007]

@AidasEchoe you haven't meet ORIGINALITY yet have you? :p

[13thAngelOfDoom]

@AidasEchoe It's been too long. Just remember this: you may have replaced me, but I am ALWAYS right there at the bottom of your quality selector, watching you. ALWAYS.

[lasarousi]

this game is great, but is so fucking unbalanced, some enemies are way too overpowered and prevents me from freely roaming the map. no matter how good my weapons are, they degenerate too early and leaves me to die. i hate that overpower of npc.

[atza20]

anyone else get bored of skyrim?

[verylazynigger]

@atza20 i returned dat shit

[gameplayer4885]

just found this game in the stores...

it's awesome!

[DraKonfilms]

I palyed oblivion, then I took an arrow to the knee

[jaferhassan]

i actually like the one handed wep animations more

[MegaZombiePigman]

I'm downloading Oblivion now on steam $5 FTW

[elgranpeyo]

it is now @ 4.99 on steam :D

[kaishaku72]

ya i cant wait to get in and kill dogs in the most realistic virtual method yet

[cloudstrife6437]

The Elder Scrolls is an amazing series. They have everything ive ever wanted in a video game. Its by far my favorite series.

[appleipodtouch2g]

i used to play oblivion, then skyrim hit me in the knee

[Hsanity]

@kidwithAnose in my 12 of gaming career i've bever played any elder scroll ganes, before i's introduced to skyrim, and after playing skyrim, i've come to realize what a legendary chapter in gaming i've missed. after i finish with (god knows how long it will take!!!) skyrim, i'll buy oblivion.

[IrishFTW123]

I only know of The Elder Scrolls because of Skyrim,But I wanted to play this game before it,so I can like actually know what's going on in Skyrim,Opinions on this game?

[atza20]

im so pissed off that people who are just running into the series cant name this game or morrowind three words FUCK YOU SKYRIM but i still love skyrim though i just hate the bandwagon people

[deadlyfart147]

Compared to skyrim's graphics oblivion looks like it's on the old xbox

[jmk01234]

Not shure what to do I have never played an Elderscrolls game before and Skyrim looks sick as all hell I really I love Fallout 3 and New Vegas So should I get IV first? I only have one day do decide PLEASE HELP ME!!

[DeathSlay320]

@jmk01234 The games have no similarities in story with eachother other than Skyrim has a few references to Oblivion. So it doesen't really matter what game you buy.

[marklaira]

couple years back i got this game and didnt have the skills to play it. i deleted the game and forgetted it. and now that I saw this. im already downloading it. thanks IGN

[Slyf107]

One time when I was playing this game the guards were killing me than I watched my body fall to the ground but I was still alive it was like I was a ghost

[JTM7entertainment]

i am ashamed to admit how i have played so many hours on oblivion , finished the game but i still have only got to level 9 :L i want to experience the creatures! but my vampirism is a cunt! love the game tho

[greend614]

I never played any of the elder scroll games until Skyrim. I love it. I have it on the PS3 and play at least 8 hours a day. Lol. Im thinking of getting Oblivion now. Its only 20 bucks on PS3.

[SephirothKanata]

stop show u slicing a fucking dog it make me wanna throw up lol

[3WPN]

@kidwithAnose anyone who doesnt know what morrowind is but loves oblivion and skyrim is a chump...

[kidwithAnose]

@3WPN Totally agree, Morrowind, Daggerfall, etc.

[sniperatchet1]

@kidwithAnose ura chump mate

[myshcoolaccount]

@kidwithAnose i liked the other elder scrolls game(dont have skyrim yet) and didnt no about oblivion, dose that make me a chump.

[timelinemc]

@kidwithAnose Having played it before it was cool doesn't make you better than anyone else. Skyrim is an amazing game in it's own right, and those who play it without necessarily having had the predecessors are no more handicapped than players of Twilight Princess who never played Oot.

[xDeGree21x]

@kidwithAnose lol, ive been playing Elder Scrolls since pc, you shouldnt care if someone is just starting out the seris, or been playing it for a long while. I could call you a chump for starting at oblivion. But im not, why? Because im just happy you're playing the game, and when someone bought Oblivion, or bought skyrim, it gives the makers more money to make bigger projects! (Fallout 4?) So just stfu. xD

[mixuz91]

@kidwithAnose ...So one can not enjoy Skyrim without being a chump?

Its a good thing if more people come to the game's scene.. Like with sc2.. Most people dont say bad stuff about those whom didnt play or liked sc1.. Its huge now.. New people is a good thing dude..

[MeTaLISaWeSoMe95]

@kidwithAnose Um to me anyone who played this game who hasnt played Arena is a chump....... ; )

[BizzareSparks]

@kidwithAnose ...i love skyrim, but this lookes fucking gay, look at the puny graphics and display system, theres no way you could play that after skyrim, chump

[drgnfrc13]

@BizzareSparks You would not have said such a thing had you actually played the game at the time when it was more technologically relevant. Oblivion and Morrowind were both groundbreaking in their own times, just as Skyrim is now. If Bethesda decides to create a sixth edition to this series, I guarantee you there will be people saying the same thing about Skyrim.

[OhHiKuzon]

@drgnfrc13 It was an obvious mistake, idont take my time typing when on youtube.

[OhHiKuzon]

@kidwithAnose So people aren't aloud to like a game unless they have played through it's predecessor? Say's alot about your maturity and intelligence, moron.

[MegaZombiePigman]

@OhHiKuzon your English shows a lot about YOUR intelligence. I'm 12, and I am better at English than you.

[OhHiKuzon]

@MegaZombiePigman Oh, I misplaced one apostrophe. It was certainly worth your time to write a comment and point that out. No need to get upset when someone makes a valid point. Moron number 2.

[drgnfrc13]

@OhHiKuzon I am not siding with MegaZombieblahblahblah (he's kind of being a jerk, but that's understandable, considering his age), but technically, the apostrophe shouldn't have been there at all, and you also said "aloud," in place of the word "allowed."

[Tyster511]

@MegaZombiePigman

Loses argument, complains about grammar.

[kidwithAnose]

@OhHiKuzon

I guess I must of seriously offended some people by stating my opinion on a Youtube video, because I've been getting spammed with comment replies since day one.. I have my reasons for saying what I said, and I'm sure as hell not going to take the time out of my life to explain it to you. Grow up, learn to live with peoples opinions, and don't insult their intelligence, it only shows your arrogance even more.

[Rhysonka]

@kidwithAnose

"Grow up, learn to live with peoples opinions, and don't insult their intelligence, it only shows your arrogance even more."

wow

[OhHiKuzon]

@kidwithAnose Well you DID just take time out of your life to explain yourself to me. When you write a stupid comment, expect to get a response. By saying, "Anyone who doesn't know what this game is, but loves Skyrim, is a chump" is just being stupid. Entertainment grows, get used to it. Don't be one of these idiots that complains when something goes 'mainstream', and then say that you knew it first. Nobody gives a shit. TheElderScrolls has a bigger audience now, that's a GOOD thing.Grow up.

[NormbrettaMod]

@kidwithAnose

maybe start by saying "this is my opinion" rather than saying it as if it were a fact.

[lightdragon53562]

@OhHiKuzon not trying to be a dick but you insulted him about his intelligence but you used the wrong *allowed*

[OhHiKuzon]

@lightdragon53562 it was an obvious mistake. I realize the difference between the two, but thanks :)

[SteamMonkey115]

@OhHiKuzon Fucking new age fags. -.-"

[TheMadeMan89]

@OhHiKuzon haha it's allowed man not aloud. allow and loud are different words. i figured you weren't an american

[JelloFlavoredSkittle]

@OhHiKuzon It's "allowed", BTW o3o

[Hsanity]

i'm surprised to see your arrogant and moronic comment is the top comment!! i'm newly introduced to elder scrolls......... just one Q to all elder scroll fans, are majority of elder scroll fans are jerk like this guy???

[Airbornerock]

@kidwithAnose ....not really.

[Latrodectized]

@kidwithAnose You're an idiot.

[xxBrax10xx]

@kidwithAnose I like how in your comment before this you said people need to "accept other people's opinions" and not to insult their intelligence. xD Are you saying it's okay to insult their sexuality if you don't like THEIR opinion? A hypocrite if I've ever seen one.

[UFCTNAFAN4LIFE]

@kidwithAnose thank you! so many people are like "OMG I love Skyrim, but never played Skyrim, it annoys me bc Oblivion is an amazing game

[ZackiiPoo]

@kidwithAnose you deserve to get spammed because you're a dumbass.

[assbacon1]

@kidwithAnose

You're an idiot.

If you knew anything, you'd know that Oblivion was most likely the most "bandwagon-y" game in the series, and probably the worst to.

If you weren't a bandwagon kid, you would have played Morrowind.

Stupid kid.

[SuperUtter]

240p. We meet again.

[rsk8abletv]

fast traveling was in daggerfall dumbass

[mslego9]

i loved the game but the man quest does get tedious after closing the first 5 gates

[xXfk96Xx]

Some monsters/animals/npcs are supposed to be invisible....

[EmzMir]

Don't give a shit if this game is 5 yrs old. The most ugliest fucking characters I've ever seen are in this game. And the voice work is terrible.

[hayds122]

i love this game!

[kurt23407]

Reached level 50 in this game.. and doing the same in Skyrim.. jeez i feel lame;P

[Sideways1269]

Today is black Friday I won't get skyrim till Christmas :( but I'm going to get this to pass the gap this uncharted 3 mw3 and bf3 will just have to do Skyrim is amazing and can't wait

[gmanthebeast1]

@Sideways1269 how do you have all those games yet cant get skyrim?

[Sideways1269]

@gmanthebeast1 because i was stupid i didn't pre order skyrim. i ran out of funds for my video gaming

[MultiLeroy22]

@Sideways1269 its only a months time lol mw3 alone could keep going a month

[MoogatoMac]

@ModernWarfare2Reaper REALLLY NOW....derp

[marioluvian]

@ModernWarfare2Reaper no shit idiot it was one of the first xbox 360 games when it came out it was one of the best looking games out there

[ScareCrowLiteral]

What should i get GoW or Oblivion

[Pingu1234P]

@ScareCrowLiteral Uncharted! (3)

[ScramblesAndSanchez]

@ScareCrowLiteral

Get Skyrim, it's part 5 to the Elder Scrolls series. If you lack the money however, don't hesitate to get Oblivion. It's great!

[yoyoguysss]

is oblivon a MMO on xbox or is it a online game or just a normal game(sorry for bad english and noobish question please answer)

[SavagEGMR]

@yoyoguysss it'a just a normal game no online

[TheManWhoEatsDildos]

this looks like shit compared to skyrim

[Tombking2]

@TheManWhoEatsDildos Good job comparing a game that is 3 years older, fuckhat.

[TheManWhoEatsDildos]

@Tombking2 thanks

[OTULP1993]

@TheManWhoEatsDildos Actually, it's 5 years old. Still, you're and idiot.

[TheManWhoEatsDildos]

@OTULP1993 I didnt say that it was 3 years older. So you think im an idiot just because i think this game looks bad compared to another game? You sir, are the idiot here.

[OTULP1993]

@TheManWhoEatsDildos You're an idiot.

[TheManWhoEatsDildos]

@OTULP199 nice comeback. you are so sad.

[TheManWhoEatsDildos]

@Tombking2 well, mw2 is almost 3 years older than mw3 and they look vrey similar in terms of graphics (not hating mw3), wich i was refering to in my comment. therefore you'r argument is invalid. p.s dont call me fuckhat, you cocksucker.

[EchozProdigy]

240p we meet again.

[yesiamjohn]

I played morrowind and oblivion to the bone, and its amazing how much each of the elder scrolls games are actually new games

[xxKxNxIxGxHxTxx]

6 bucks! i got it for a steal LOL

[horrorandclassics]

@xxKxNxIxGxHxTxx yeah i know Steam doesn't understand their target audiences. They offer few games appealing to few people but when we have Elder Scrolls IV for so cheap then i'd be an idiot not to buy

[DaFleegsta]

@xxKxNxIxGxHxTxx where the hell is this sale? its still 20 bucks for me, i cant find it on sale on steam.. maybe its not out for canada yet?

[xxKxNxIxGxHxTxx]

@DaFleegsta it only lasted a certain amount of time......

[DaFleegsta]

@xxKxNxIxGxHxTxx didnt it JUST start tho? did it only last 1 day or something?

[shoshenkis]

@DaFleegsta I'm canadian, thought we got the same offers no ???

[DaFleegsta]

@shoshenkis apparently not, is it on sale for u or is it still 20 bucks?

[shoshenkis]

@DaFleegsta really ? So again canadians gets screwed up in the ass (btw its 20$...)

[TotallyFuzzedOut]

I just bought skyrim but refuse to play until I finished the main story of oblivilon :)

[horrorandclassics]

Thumbs if you're hear because Steam's selling this game for £3.75

[xxBillyy]

@horrorandclassics Mate when i saw that deal i thought fuck it.... im getting Skyrim soon which looks immense so though might as well give the old one a go :)

[horrorandclassics]

@xxBillyy Yeah i've just started playing it. I will be getting Skyrim becuase it looks completely incredible. Fighting Dragons in armor and killing with double handed awesomeness. I think Skyrim has a lot going for it. But the Old game gets love too. They tend to take their time making these games when they are released they don't just poop them out like the COD games... Its to bad MW3 is going to over shadow Skyrim

[xxBillyy]

@horrorandclassics Yeah exactly MW3 will shadow over it and it doesn't deserve to...... This game should get game of the year if not i will actually complain... lol

[horrorandclassics]

@xxBillyy it really doesn't i know. But COD fans will defend COD to the death theres no contest that cod mw3 is going to be COD when yes it should go to Skyrim. It looks amazing. COD looks like anyone other COD

[xxBillyy]

@horrorandclassics Yeah agree 

[DaFleegsta]

@horrorandclassics where the hell does it say that? i think thatd be like 5 bucks here, but its still 20 dollars for us

[IndependentAction]

@horrorandclassics ...And the game with all expansion packs is $25 Bucks..... Pure awesome.

[horrorandclassics]

@IndependentAction it was a one day sale maybe you lot were to late. I'm not sure but it was in the MID-DAY MADNESS sale.

[skoowy]

@horrorandclassics Why is that a thubs up? Dude grow up just because you have some info dosen't mean you need to get a thumbs up

[horrorandclassics]

@skoowy people may have not been aware at the time. I don't really need to grow up and besides at the end of the day what does it matter?

[CannibalVegetarian]

@skoowy Just ignore it. Every video has its thumbs up whores. I wish they would take that out though... i hate seeing the same type of comments on every video.

[MineIts]

@darkiscoolz If you are a console gamer, then yes. If you're a PC Gamer, then not. They were very good graphics - of course - but not closely the best ones.

[Unterschiedliche]

Lol a lot of the same bugs came in skyrim ... 

[macrossner]

if you can stand looking at butt ugly characters all the time, i suggest buying it.

[TheSkizsus]

I have never played any of them should i skip this an just go right to Skyrim

[Povell81]

This game is $5 on steam right now.

[KakuKachoO]

I bought this today for 5 dollars on steam ;)

[hey111222]

been playing this abit waiting to get skyrim=)

[hoopstar7891]

Just bought it on Steam for 5 bucks

[DoctorDubst3p]

Oblivion is amazing...

...until you get Skyrim, and realise how horrible Oblivion is.

[MineIts]

@darkiscoolz This were never the best graphics.

[mrpepermentman]

on sale on steam 75 percent off

[emocody1324]

I honestly couldn't get into this game but I'm addicted to skyrim.

[theyeahitsusboys]

@emocody1324 exactly the same way for me.

[kurt23407]

@emocody1324 thats because Skyrim is the dumb down version of this game... less levels less realism.. both good games tho

[Ilovemetal777]

@emocody1324 Same here. One of the main things that bothered me about Oblivion was the leveling system. It was really annoying to feel compelled to avoid sleeping just so that the enemies wouldn't level up along with you. All fixed in Skyrim! :D

[tek003]

@emocody1324 they're both great games if u have been with the series scince the begining

[PianoXfan1]

did you record this with your virtual toaster? Jesus Christ pixel haven

[NDguy191]

240p we meat again

[LaughingMage]

don't even care. I love this game.



[2601andrew]

If anyone thinks Oblivion sucks they should fuck off seriously, I love Skyrim but I'm still gonna be playing Oblivion from time to time.

[Matriculon]

lol this was one of my favorite games ... and it SUCKS compared to Skyrim! What does that tell you???

[SuperHelloKittyGuy]

This fuking sucks compared to skyrim!! Hahaha

[BuzzTFM]

5 more hours

[BuzzTFM]

@Alexplus20 That was my favorite quest :). I also like the quest where you were in the guys dreams.

[Alexplus20]

I hated that quest where you were stuck in the painting.

[mrkackerwacker]

240p we meet again...

[Bobbyota]

@mrkackerwacker

Don't even try... 

[frankieziii]

@mrkackerwacker we meet again overly used, retarded comment.

[TrollHardcore]

IGNorance.

[EndureFocusEngageDie]

T-MINUS 10 HOURS : )

[jackdude15]

Hell ya... 28 1/2 hours...

[ravenshield56]

Midnight launch tomorrow :)

[Kgoku4]

loading screens? FPS dips? and THAT is why this series is meant for PC. not to mention the vibrant modding community for PC. Do yourself a favor.....if you have a gaming rig, get Skyrim for PC....not consoles.

[fatjack421]

what knife is that at 0:54 ?

[AcDcvideos1]

@fatjack421 its an elven dagger

[rimspin2410]

@harryfarnish just got Fallout 3. Should keep me busy for awhile

[rimspin2410]

Should i buy this or Fallout 3?
