GoTY will be between Uncharted and Zelda probably. Judging by the quality of Skyrim videos I have seen thus far I just don't see that game winning anything.

Elder Scrolls never looks amazing in gameplay videos, it's when you play it yourself for an extended time that you begin to appreciate it


After having tried the previous game I don't think so. I can't really give me full opinion on this website or i'll get banned. :(

I think oblivion is overrated myself. Skyrim has to do some things differently and it will be pretty cool.


Why do you guys say Oblivion is overrated

I mean theres a few irritating aspects to the game but the gameplay is some of the best of any game.

And Skyrim looks pretty dam good in videos so far, the only issue i had was that they've been showing the same area, with similar playthroughs.

Don't be sad, its just my opinion. I think its too repetitive for me the, landscape is the same everywhere. The story disappointing.

I was very surprised that that game got so many awards and stuff, but I think it won't be that lucky this time around. From the reviews I could see that a lot of people liked it, but that was 5 years back. The level design needs to be improved by a huge margin for it to be anywhere close to a GOTY. I don't have that kind of faith in bethesda because all their games rely on repetitive landscapes. What usually makes their games great is some kind of variety in quests and unfortunately oblivion failed to provide that imo.

But very few iterations of high class franchises seem to get average reviews so I will probably be wrong.


lol im not sad it was just a sad face

Hmmm yeah the graphics, the dungeons, the open planes etc. are kinda samey and perhaps even the towns are kinda samey. The main story, agree again i didnt even play the main storyline. But id group those issues under "irritating aspects".

I bought the game because it got all those awards from reviews, and i just wanted to see what the rave was about. I was dissapointed at first. Id like to know how much time you spent on it? You also say it doesnt have variety...that to me indicates that maybe you couldnt stomach the game long enough to truly experience why people love it (i duno im just guessing here apologies if im wrong). But the game had the most variety id ever seen in any game. And its not meaningless variety it variety that actually is different and gives a different experience. I think they spent a lot of time actually working on the various guilds and the storylines and gameplay that goes with each guild, and thats maybe why other aspects of the game was lacking.

Anyways this thread is about Uncharted, so maybe we a bit too off topic. But id say you should give Oblivion another go...and definately atleast give skyrim a chance.

Going off topic is ok as long as it doesn't derail the thread.... lol.

I spent around 25 hours on it and completed the game. I found the guild system very complicated, sort of. Not all guilds are open to you, and honestly I can't really play a game just to waste my time around doing side stuff. The side content should only compliment the main game. In a way you are right. I didn't do much of side quests stuff, but the one's which I did were very similar. They were usually fetch quests. Fetch this, kill that.. earn money or some item. For comparison fallout 3 had some amazing side quests like destroying megaton and finding one of the androids.....New vegas had tons of questing in new vegas. And unlike oblivion these games made it easy to find the quests as well....

I also severely hate the levelling system in oblivion which I consider broken.

Edit: 25 hours without factoring death and stuff, so in reality its probably 35 hours because I backtracked a lot of times.
