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.

There's is no point in talking to ya cause you have to be right but you're wrong. This goes on inside your own head, not mine but if you were right and you aren't. Again, it's a site based on competition where you say competing games against each other is silly which is so silly in itself. I'm not getting into arguing over the stats cause you are right about own thing, it's silly comparing them, however there actually is a massive difference in those numbers considering one in a new IP in a much more niche genre where games sell a minute amount compared to BGS games. It is mind-boggling that E33 is not only holding it's own but winning against a game that has 20 years of hype and discussion whether it's better than Skyrim or not.
