Which Platform Is Your Fav?, How will you get Oblivion? Options

[Sabe]

[FONT=Arial]I bought Xbox to play MW because that was the only way I knew about it, until I came to the forums. Then my brother had it for PC. I played on his PC, but it was really slow and choppy, and the controls were difficult to use, not to mention the discomfort of his computer chair as opposed to my couch. So, I switched back. I'm ambivolent about how to get Oblivion, because I just bought a new computer. What do you guys that have played both ways have to say?

[Fuzzy Knight]

Have tried XBox... But I'm not much into consoles, I have a PS2 dont use it that much - But its nice to have sometimes tho, but I wont buy a XBox 360 for Oblivion because right now I'm building one wicked PC...

[plagusthewise]

addicted to the controller. i do miss mods though.

I like it much better on xbox, i find it easier to play on xbox

Wheres the option that says:

"I played it first on Xbox, then tried it on PC, then switched and played fully on PC"

What?

I played it on the Xbox first, then my friend told me about mods. So i got it on the PC, and i havent switched back since.

I dont see it up there

I find it much easier on the PC in contrast to the Xbox.

That's the third option, Gomez.

"PC: I tried Xbox first, then switched and stayed on PC."


Making your own content and playing the content others make was half the fun of Morrowind. I've no intention of getting an Xbox360 for Oblivion as it stands.

Definitely PC. Mods really enhanced Morrowind, and I'm sure the same will be true for Oblivion. Besides, I've never been much of a console gamer, and I can't see spending $400 to get something that only works for games when I can put the money into a new computer that I can also use for work and internet.

I played on PC for a long while, then got the X-Box version (to get the expansion packs) and also to see the non-modded face textures and see the difference in controls, etc.
After playing the X-Box for awhile, I got frustrated with some of the X-Box controls, way too slow loading times, and hard-to-avoid glitches/bugs (unable to use console to 'MOVEME' command, etc). So, I settled happily back to my PC and the cool mods.

never owned and probably will never own an xbox.

[minque]

PC! tried it on my son´s xbox.....but noo I´ll stick to PC!

[Curly_G_]

I find it easier on Xbox and with the major mods avaliable for Xbox Live users, it's the ideal choice for me. I'm just waiting for my HD TV and Oblivion now

[Gomez']

Ill probably buy it on both platforms,

Because im a weakling

and its almost impossible for me to not cheat

ill probably just mod and test on the PC one and create a dedicated character on the
Xbox, i just hope Bethesda can clear things up and let the fans host user made mods on Xbox live.

the less console the better

PC is the best platform

[Jonajosa]

I'll be sure to grab up the Xbox360 version. Don't have the hundreds of dollars needed for my comp. to run the PC version.

[Brood]

PC and PS3 if it ends up being released on ALL next gen consoles as promised.

Most likley not, they said they wouldnt put it on the PS3 due to its lack of an out-of-a-box harddrive. And the Revolution? c'mon

[molia]

i'm 4 pc: never played on a console & can't afford 2 buy 1 just 4 games. i get an all in one with the pc: Internet,Media(x-box is likely not to be suitable for all movie/sound formats),Games(oldies included: I bet I can't play prehistoric or lemmings on x-box)

[Ragnar]

I am definately buying it on the pc. I just got a new and amazing pc that should run it very well once I get a new graphic card.

I also prefer the pc because it has many other games on it that the Xbox 360 can not play such as Daggerfall. I just think it is more convenient.

The best thing about playing Oblvion on the pc is the modding. I get acess to an extremely powerful CS(hopefully I can become a major member of the mod community) and I get acess to all the fan made mods.
