Elder Scrolls Oblivion
Published on November 6, 2005 By Amitty In XBOX
The real reason I am buying a Xbox 360 has been delayed.

While the release date for Elder Scrolls IV has been up in the air recently, I have been told that the new release date will be sometime in Dec. December! I pre-ordered the game and was whole-heartidly waiting for it to come around to launch day so I can call in sick and play the crap out of it. Now....I have to wait.

Is it me, or has a lot of software titles started missing release dates? A co-worker of mine has expectantly been waiting for Guitar Heroes for a month or so. A buddy told us that it was released in the states on the 1st of November, but the 18th here. Then, checking the shipping dates at Electronic Boutique, it gave a later date. I would like to think that the delays would because they are perfecting the game, but then I get the sinking feeling that someone or some people have left things to the last minute and the finished product will not only be later than thought, but rushed and potentially disasterous.

Dang I want my Elder Scrolls.

Why buy a 360 to play Oblivion? Can you imagine what modders are going to do with it? If I had played Morrowind on a console it would have lasted me one, maybe two play-thrus, tops. Given the massive amounts of player-made content, it becomes even more attractive.

What really makes the game effectively open-ended is the ability for players to mod it. To me, and it is just my opinion, but the console isn't the place to play it.
