QUOTE(stargelman @ Mar 21 2006, 09:41 AM) Anyone who actually has the game probably has better things to do than to reply in this thread  You can savely deduct from that that I don't have it yet either  Aye... been playin for the last 6 hours straight.. hamster cave awesome. That is the only word I can use to describe it. If you didn't like morrowinds MQ this one should be perfect though.

QUOTE(zalinanaruto @ Mar 21 2006, 09:35 PM) Got my copy last night, played for 5 hours or so, here are the impressions. Character creation was a blast, lots of options, actually too much for me. I am just going to wait for someone to make a mod with angelina jolie's face then use it later. The tutorial section was quite long, took about an hour to finish it, but I am sure for the second time around , anyone can just blast thru it in 15-30 mins. Once you leave the dungeon, then the game really starts. You come out of the tunnel, and in front of you, you see a very peaceful lake. The lake has a perfect reflection mirror like surface until you step in. There are butterflies flying around the flowers, the mountain in front of you is so big and the forest looks dense on it. I didn't go to the forest yet, because I am not a ranger guy. So I opened the map and headed to the big city. There I did my first quest, took me an hour to finish! It was easy but quite a lot of twists and stuff for it. Now I am going to go into the forest and explore for a bit. Combat was WAYYYYYYYY better then morring, especially now that we can block on our own. magic was cool too, cuz we dun need to re-equip to the spells casting hands... lol... The menu takes a little bit of time to master, but once you play for a while, everything is smooth like butter. one more thing, with all the hype about the physics of the game, I am somewhat disappointed. It is completely useless in the game, it's just a little addition to make the game look good. well, I think the physics engine apply to archery and the traps, and that's about it. I always thought you could maybe take an axe out from your inventory and throw it at the goblin? haha. guess that's not possible yet. Well the physics engine is fun to play around I guess... bye guys. Sounds comforting, all of you saying the wait was all worth it I like reading about people who got it, even though i'm like a kid waiting for christmas, thanks for your replies so far. I hope you enjoy! I don't envy you (well mby in a good way  ) Thank you zalinanaruto for your mini review.

[quote=kujahn,Mar 21 2006, 06:27 AM] Anyone got it yet??
Yep. Got it yesterday (XBox360). In a word: WOW !
I am a veteran Elder Scrolls player. I remember buying Arena because it was the heaviest game in the store (in those days, you judged a game by how heavy the box was - more disks - not CDs - the better). Anyway, my first impression of Arena was the same: WOW !
Now, roughly ten years later, it is truly amazing how the technoloy has advanced. Things that I only imagined might be possible when I first played Arena are now, unbelievably, right before my very eyes on a 53" screen !!!
Amazing . . .
Only played about 4 hours last night - but I can't wait to get back to it.
I will also get the PC version in order to play with the editor, but for the next few months I plan to explore every nook and cranny . . .

It went on sale here in Australia at midnight last night (at the same time as the XBox360 launch here... heh, it really was a launch title for the 360, here). I didn't get mine until 9:30 this morning, in fact, because I'd pre-ordered it. It was in this morning's post, though, so that was good. What wasn't good was that I'd recieved it at work, so I had to have it but not play it until lunchtime (although I set it installing on my laptop while I did other stuff, so I could jump straight in when the time came.) I liked the fact that it detected my hardware's capabilities and scaled the graphics options down automatically. I was a bit worried about my laptop's ability to run it, since one of the more intensive Morrowind mods (Wizard's Island) brought it to its knees, but the framerate has been (mostly) fine, and even with the graphics options down low (where it set them) it looks plenty pretty to me  What with stopping part-way through and going back to the start to play through again with headphones on once I lost the audience, I only just got outside before I had to stop, but it's been great so far!

QUOTE(Agent Griff @ Mar 23 2006, 10:28 AM) Congrats for having the game Telendil! Here's a little hint, something for you to do before it becomes a cliche'. Write a fan fiction that tells the adventures of a character from Oblivion. Be quick about it though, before it becomes a cliche! I know I'll be doing that. Heh heh...no I'll finish up my story before I start on an Oblivion story...precisely, I need to play the game a couple of times...to get the feel of it...if you follow me. QUOTE(vaanic~one @ Mar 23 2006, 01:22 PM) I'm getting it tomorrow. I went in the store today to see if they were selling it, but alas, they told me that they could not sell it to me until tomorrow. So, I reserved myself a copy of the CE, and it'll be waiting for me there. Yay! Well congratulations...I know how agonizing it is when you wait for something that you wish so badly...but well, you will get it tomorrow...so no need to worry...just grab a couple'o sleeping pills, and sleep untill tomorrow...might help:D
