You've made a number of bitter looking posts towards Oblivion and trying to pit Expedition 33 and Oblivion against each other, it is just a bit exhausting, it is possible to simply celebrate more than one game at once u'know, Lol.

Like I said it was 148 negative reviews, that isn't a review bomb. A lot of the complaints are about the gameplay, a complaint that is common, I've browsed the ResetEra thread on Expedition 33 and the #1 complaint is about the parry system, so it's not exactly a shock that a few people will hate it.

Of 71 negative written reviews on Metacritic, only 3 have reviewed both Oblivion Remastered and Expedition 33, 1 of those also gave Oblivion Remastered a negative score, the other two admittedly did give Oblivion Remastered a 10/10 and Expedition a 3/10 and the other gave Oblivion Remastered a 9/10 and Expedition a 0/10 so 2/71 thus a 2.8% ratio to "back" your claim up, Lol.

But one of those is a woke loser who has been downvoting a bunch of games for being woke and I have seen a well known Twitter loser accusing Expedition 33 of being woke so it's more likely that guy gave Expedition a 3/10 over some woke bullshit than being a bitter Oblivion fan and the other hated the parrying system.

There is little to no evidence of what you're claiming.

Oblivion fans don't need to feel validated about anything, Oblivion is one of Bethesda's most highly rated Elder Scroll's titles, even the original release sold millions, now they've got an updated remaster of one of their fondest memories and the Remaster is selling brilliantly as well. There is nothing to be bitter about or needing their purchase validated, they'll enjoy Oblivion Remastered and then go play Expedition 33 when they're done with it (and Game Pass users will get both for free, Lol). Finally not everyone agrees that Expedition 33 is better than Oblivion but they may agree it's better than Oblivion Remastered, after all, it is a remaster of a game from 2006, Lol.

Actually it's Final Fantasy 16 I am pitting E33 against, you are mistaken. The only thing I'm pissed at Oblivion for is the colour, why would I trash on a game I own but technically they are competing, not everyone can buy both and they are also competing for timeshare for players who have both on Gamepass or bought both or potential sales to each other. We are on a gaming website revolving around game sales, the whole idea of this site is games and systems in competition. This is frankly just weird that even if I were to put them against each other it would be wrong on these forums, on a sales data site. 

I'm an Oblivion fan and a BGS fan for everything before Fallout 4 and the TV show after it. Whatever you have taken from me in regards to the game outside of the colour downgrade is in your head. I'm cool with both games but facts are facts...

Reviews for Oblivion landed at an 82 on Metacritic where the original had a 94. There is no comp, the user reviews only have 170 but it's sitting at 7.3. All decent but no competition to CO E33. Steam charts has Oblivion at number 24 most played right now which is a much longer game so people fell off and CO E33 is holding it's own at number 11. 

If you can't discuss data like that, what would be the point of this site...

You keep proving my point, Lol.

Like I said, you've made a number of bitter comments towards Oblivion and tried to pit Oblivion and Expedition 33 against each other because you're upset at Oblivion and you were also upset that they had the nerve to release near Expedition 33. The comment that "Oh Expedition 33 is getting negative reviews, must be spiteful Oblivion fans!!!" is even more evidence, Lol.

Oblivion is a remaster of a 2006 game, no shit it didn't score as well in 2025 with critics, Lol. But Oblivion fans are good, it sits at 82% on Steam, a 4.3/5 on the Xbox Store and 4.7/5 on the PlayStation Store and is the 3rd highest selling game of 2025 so far. And for actual information, Oblivion at #24 is still 56k players, Expedition 33 at 11 is 96k players, not a major difference.

Go enjoy Expedition 33 as Oblivion fans are enjoying Oblivion. Ironically, I've not seen any Oblivion fans express bitterness towards Expedition 33 but I see you doing it towards Oblivion. Both games are doing incredibly well and have been very well received, no need to keep throwing digs at the other in some weird defensive move.
