    Check out my very first PC Super LooK! Complete with 720p, 60fps (when it's not slowing down) video! I decided to do something familiar such as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion just to test the waters. Seven parts in total, the playlist is here. Youtube is acting strange so it may take a bit to load, not really sure.

    Oblivion was the first game I bought when I got my 360, and it is easily one of the most disappointing games I've played in years.  There's just too much wrong with the game for me to get any real enjoyment out of it.

    Oblivion is awesome, despite the fact that it is a magnet for hate on the same level as something like Assassin's Creed or Resident Evil 5 (I enjoyed both).

    And, as always your super looks are entertaining.

    @Bucketdeth: Thanks for the words, and I use the full version of Fraps.
     
    @Hailinel: I think there's something wrong with your face. It's probably the best game of this generation (IMHO).

    @lordofultima: Was the insult really necessary?  When I played Oblivion, my experience came down to being frustrated by a lot of the things that the game gets justly criticized for.  I didn't find the leveling system fun or rewarding at all.  If I wanted my character to progress beyond a snail's pace, I felt like it was required that I pick specific skills and play the game a certain way, even if that's not necessarily the way I wanted to play it.  Even worse, the enemies scale in level with you, so even after I've gained several levels, I never feel any more powerful than I was before.  It also leads to bizarre quirks like bandits running around with magical weapons and armor.

    Other items on the checklist include the fact that the vast majority of NPCs in the game were voiced by the same four or five actors, and most all of them had the same things to say.  In addition, Oblivion's diplomacy system, with its bizarre gauge, was no fun to use.

    And the guards.  Those freaking psychic guards and their ability to sense you stealing an apple off of a table in a basement in the middle of the night when the homeowner is at the tavern and absolultely no one was on the street other than you when you picked the lock and stepped inside.  Those jackasses would have single-handedly ruined the game for me had the other items I already listed not gotten on my nerves beforehand.

    For a game that was supposedly a revelation in immersion, I found very little to be immersed in other than broken, ill-conceived game mechanics and utter frustration.

    @Hailinel: It was a joke insult, any insult rewording your comment to involve someones "face" usually is. But the best games have flaws, flaws that you learn to love. I could do Morrowind next and show you all about psychic guards.

    Dude, what video recording/audio recording software did you use?
    I'd like to start my own sort of Super Look :)
