What oblivion really is:
1) random crashes
2) random freezes
3) inability to run at an acceptable speed on most system
4) major bugs with the "red needle" on the compas
5) many players are forced to find third party, fan-made, patches to even make it work on their ancient systems, such as 3400+ 1GB RAM
6) no patches will ever be released, bethesda doesent make patches, ever
7) bethesda bans users that complain and point out major flaws in the game, from the official forum
8) the minimum system requirements were raised. AFTER the game was released and hundreds of thousands (some say millions) of pre-order copies were sold. effectively making half of those who ordered the game order it for no use (FX cards no longer supported, box state they are)
That about covers it..
All in all, im not impressed with this piece of crap..
Turns out to be yet another overhyped piece of crap from bethesda.. much like call of cthulhu.. which, conincidentaly, also sucked big time.
My computer is above the recomended specs on the box and the site.
I had to find patches made by "fans" to even get the game to start without freezing, or just crashing.
When working, i have no shaders, textures reduced to lowest.. and pretty much everything else reduced to less than lowest..
I get about 10 FPS, which randomly, without reason drop to 0 fps for a few seconds, unrelated to whats going on..
It's this kind of STABILITY and USER CARE that puts bethesda softwares above the rest.. really.. god damn piece of crap..
I'll be returning my copy later today
