I'm confused. If you people didn't like Oblivion, what game were you playing that replaced it? It's the only game that even attempts to do what it does, and I for one think that it does a damn good job.
Say what? Oblivion was one of three "open-world RPGs" released in the 2005-2006 window: Oblivion, Gothic 3, and Two Worlds. Disregarding respective quality, they are pretty darn similar. True, they each went about making an open-world fantasy RPG in a different way - but they had the same core principles behind them.
Two Worlds was unplayable (Seriously, did you even play it?). Possibly the worst game of that entire year. And I just searched Gothic 3 and I see that it also received some horrible scores. And neither of these games have complexity and open world to the extent that Oblvion had.

I played Elder Scrolls IV, despite not having played any of the previous ones. I bought it because I love RPGs and after hearing so much about it, I figured I would love it. What a piece of shit that game turned out to be. I have never been so bored with a game in my life.
There is a reason Oblivion has a "Game of the Year" addition. And there is a reason that there was a thread here announcing the next Elder Scrolls game, and almost every post was people in absolute joy over just
hearing about it. People still love the hell out of it, and it's almost 5 years old.
Just because you found it boring doesn't mean it's "a piece of shit". It is possible, you know, to just
not like a game. That doesn't mean the game is bad, it's just not for you.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there isn't anyone saying "What a piece of shit game that turned out to be."
