Mostly in ways I don't care about: -potentially better graphics (depending on your rig) -modability (don't care) -DLC (never buy it myself) But you also get downsides: -Steam (some consider it a pro, I consider it a con) -potential stability problems (I have GOTY Oblivion, and have constant CTD's- really annoying) | ||

I always ended up feeling overwhelmed in oblivion well based on the developers the main quest line is around 40-50 hours. But the game it self probably has over 100 hours and with mods pretty much endless content | ||

Oblivion was slated for 150 hours of play and skyrim is double that which is pretty crazy and then with mods it goes on forever :D | ||

Nah it's more like getting pissed at Wal-Mart for censoring music because you want to experience the artist's true intentions. Or like a movie that veers too far from a book's original spirit/inspiration. | ||

DLC is available as well for most consoles, not really sure why this is in the pro list for PCs I never modded Oblivion the first time I played through it (had a copy for Xbox and PC) and didn't really have a problem with the game. I loaded it up to play a bit before Skyrim came out, and just loaded up OOO and wow what a difference it makes. It's a much better game. Not sure why Steam would be a pro or a con. It is what it is. Although I consider the fact that it can load on my computer while I'm sleeping and I can wake up Friday morning and just start playing to be a pro. I never had stability problems with Oblivion, it's probably a problem with your rig. Really the only reason I could see getting it for a console (and it's a good one) is if you prefer the laid-back, lying on the couch atmosphere for RPGs. And I seriously considered getting it for Xbox for this very reason. | ||

From what I have seen of the game so far it looks like the best Elder Scrolls game yet and looks like it could surpass Fallout 3 which is my favorite game to date on the 360. | ||

My stability problems with Oblivion is definately not my rig... have the same CTD issues on my new PC as my old one. I suppose mods aren't all bad, I admit I did enjoy the tremendous amount of mods that were available for NWN. :D Although, those were more about adding content rather than changing core mechanics. | ||

Bioshock 2 - 9GB ME2 - 12GB Napoleon: Total War - 20GB Total War: Shogun 2 - 20GB The Witcher - 15GB Portal 2 - 11GB The Witcher 2 - 16GB <-- Similar game genre ish Dragon Age: Origins - 15GB All without DLC. Even the system requirements for L4D2 were at least 13GB, and that's from 2009 and not exactly extensive? Do you know what else was 6GB? Dragon Age 2. Yeah, that game that was supposed to be a DA:O sequel but took about 20 hours for a complete playthrough, where every dungeon was the same and you never left kirkwall. If you stay in one city for a game that short, only to enter the exact same 2-3 dungeons then it's really not going to take up a lot of room so no surprise. It just strikes me as incredibly small for a new game... | ||

Sapphire HD6950 2gb version, with 2 big fans to keep noise and temperature at minimum. I ordered Dirt edition to get DiRT 3 for free, but they gave me non-dirt edition. Graphics card is same, but I still contacted them and said I want Dirt 3 cdkey :D Witcher 2 runs amazing on High, probably Skyrim will too. | ||

It just strikes me as incredibly small for a new game... Probably just means that there is less audio, or that it is lower quality. Some of those games did not need to be as "big" as they were in the first place (Witcher 2 for instance, only about 25 hours of gameplay and small environments). In short, don't judge a game by its size in gigabytes. | ||
