    Started Oblivion last night.. trying to get a feel but it is moving slowly right now.. looking forward to it picking up!!!

    Dont jump right into the main quest. I made that mistake. Instead explore more and do some guild missions.

    When does the Batman game come out? And can I play it without having played the first?

    I recommend playing the 1st one..it's one of my favorite games of all time.

    It is not a high action game honestly. There will be times when there is a lot of action but there is a lot of down time.

    I am ok with that... I just like when the story gets rolling... I am gonna do some other missions like Cooter suggested.

    Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood are the way to go. I think on the previous page I explained how to find the Dark Brotherhood.

    The is why you save often. So you can go back and load in case you screw up.

    I hate saving and it always screws me over in the end.

    I don't like spending the 15-20 seconds to save the game, which screws me over when I have to spend 1-2 hours trying to get back where I was after I die.

    I keep 3 save points at all times. When Im robbing a house I do one outside, 1st floor, and finally second floor before i pickpocket their sleeping asses.

    Bingo. That is how I do it as well. You can't save to much.

  • Always save in Oblivion. It's annoying, but it is worth it. Try saving it right a before you leave the sewers in the beginning so you can start a new game without going through the intro. The fighter's guild pretty much sucks until the end. Dark Brotherhood and Thieves are the best two. Mages guild is pretty fun, but annoying to get into.

    I never messed with the Mages Guild. My character didn't have a lot of magica.

    I was a wood elf. I was good at sneak, acrobatics, and archery.

    You should try it, just to do it.

  • Has anyone here played 'Limbo'? I think it's just a downloadable ps3 game, but man.... it looks pretty awesome. Very stark.

    Very, very good game and the art style is amazing.

    The audio on that game is amazing if you really crank it.... sounds stupid to say on a 2d side scrolling game, but it's so desolate. I think that's what impressed me the most. The whole thing is extremely well done. And I haven't even played it, just saw someone playing it.

  • Agreed the sound is amazing.

  • There are some games with great stories especially if they did not have to be drawn out over a long game. I think Red Dead Redemption, GTA 4, Uncharted 2, God of War trilogy, Alan Wake all had good stories better than most of the sh!tty movies that come out which is not really saying much though. A lot of games have good stories they just lack good character development. Gears had a good story just weak character development. Character development and personality is what makes Uncharted so great IMO.

    It is a game on PSN and Xbox Live. It is a side scroller. There is a demo for it. It is hard to explain really. It is really cool though.

    It is a side scrolling puzzle platform game. I got it and it is fun but I did not feel it was as great as everyone made it out to be but that is just my opinion it got great review scores and the artwork really is great in it. I just really do not have the patience for a lot of puzzles in games.

    There are definitely some good stories and you named most of the best.

    I would also add Mass Effect. Red Dead might be my favorite. That or the Uncharted series. Both had excellent stories with believable characters.

    I think it is still $15 and I would say it is about 6 hours long from what I remember. Which isn't bad considering some $60 games only have a 6 hour single player.
