Man the length of the loading screens on their own is enough to take me back to my childhood gaming experiences. The graphics are the cherry on top. And back then this was peak level gameplay for most people, like me.
Oh yeah, I remember playing this game years ago on my old low-end PC. Just like you, I played it with all light sources off (also called 'bFullBrightLighting=1' in the .ini file). Everything looked bright, especially the caves; they appeared all white and very weird. In this setting, torches are useless because there's no light coming from them, and there's no darkness in caves, ruins, or crypts. In comparison, with light sources turned on, the caves are very dark, and torches become useful. Also, I remember using a monster pack mod that included a very detailed hairy spider monster, whenever she was on screen the framerate dropped to single digits, it was kinda creepy. Good bad times!
This brings back memories... The game would crash every time I tried to leave the tutorial area. Since I had no Internet access, I tried figuring that problem on my own. Only after deleting all the music files, the game stopped crashing the second I stepped out of the starting cave.

At least nobody can complain that it's too dark, with no shadows and all. It would even go through as a modern indie game with retro aesthetic. But honestly very impressive in how well it runs. The 8400 GS might be a horrible little card, but I wonder how well it would do with a more appropriate system. I bet throwing Oblivion at the Pentium 4 HT build would run pretty smoothly.
The 700 Mhz variant of Intel's Celeron was based on the Coppermine-128 process, and was five years old by the time Oblivion released. I cannot stress enough how hugely antiquated this CPU was at the time Oblvion came out, and it's a miracle the game even made it to the menu. The fact that you played this for seven hours says many good and bad things about your psychology.
For the first time, I played the game with approximately the same computer configuration. Thanks for the memories! But my main memory was the crash when I went out into the open world. After a certain amount of time, I manually changed the .ini file, so that I finally got out of the starting sewers. Turning off the water helped, from that moment on there was a game without invisible water. Rarely, instead of water there was a magenta plane...
damn, this shit brought me back, reminds me of playing minecraft on the lowest render distance and still getting 10 fps lol, i remember these days like it was yesterday lol
Is it the vanilla game or does it have some mods that downgrade the graphics? Amazing video btw! I'm gonna quote this feat on my complete documentary about this game and it would have a english dubbed version for sure. I'm already on 40 minutes of written script lmao. I'm from Brazil btw ᴮᴿ ᴮᴿ
This is the gog copy of the game. No mods were used and I only lowered whatever I could in the options. This was played on a HP Pavilion 6830 the OS that was installed on the rig was Windows ME. I upgraded the RAM to 256MB and installed a SSD. www.qvc.com/hp-pavilion-6830-w-celeron-700mhz%2C-20gb%2C-monitor-%26-printer.product.E101960.html
bro this is how i played this back in 2006 except my celeron was 1.7 ghz and the gpu was radeon 9550 128 mb. i COULDN'T finish it until i got myself a slighty better PC that was a laptop with integrated graphics. it was literally a 10 fps improvement (from 5 to 15) and i beat the game and all the guilds with these graphics
lol reminds me of my kid days playing this game on an i3 sandy bridge laptop and intel hd 3000, same framerates but looks a little better. That's pretty playable for me!
4:03:25 I was just about to make a comment asking if you were streaming this originally or if someone just walked in and started talking to you when you answered before I could finish typing lol
I scrubbed to three different random times, and I landed on a loading screen each time. Beautiful.
I just got him double handing people lol
Those daggerfall mods really are impressive
Im basically watching myself playing 12 years ago
« When you cannot lower the graphics any further »
now it looks like Morrowind with smoother animations and even more terrifying faces
Watching this with an electric blanket in my lap to simulate my laptop giving me third degree burns.

When this hardware was cutting edge the Dunmer were still called Chimer.

It's a great work. I can't imagine how to play in such a low fps for 7 hours.
Sheer will power
@@WinXP_SP1 Maybe I can done that 10 years ago the time I haven't had strong computer. That time was difficult, but also very happy.
@@lcfe7436 Ah yes. Nowadays the magic is just gone from most things, it's sad really.
I'm gonna play Skyrim while this work of art is playing. This video will be my companion through this night
Glad I could join you on your Skyrim adventure
This gives me more nostalgia than Oblivion's normal look
Biblically accurate Oblivion.
Wow, a man of their word.
E: I know what I'm sleeping to tonight!
I appreciate the dedication to go through this whole game on such a rig. Well done!
I didn't know it was possible to potato this game so hard
those posterboard trees crack me up, truly they are the Speediest of Trees

Interesting fix, I crashed once during this playthrough. I went through a Oblivion gate and then it crashed
Reminds me of playing Doom 3 back in the day.
This looks like it's running on a Nintendo DS, it's glorious
Watching this on 144p high as fuck is the most comforting thing I've ever done in my life.
What a great way to play Oblivion before the release of Skyblivion.
Ah, the 8400GS, my first video card.
I remember playing Crysis with it and it was rough lol.
You played CRYSIS on this video card??? You are an absolute legend.
@@LassBass59 i beat crysis with 7900gs xd

The Intel Celeron: Thank you for taking me on this journey 👴
Who do you think I am to watch seven hours of a video of someone playing Oblivion with a weak and old pc? a madman? yes i am ❤🔥
omg those load times are so slow...
I remember 2006 when this came out. Good times.
Hats of man, what a video! I think you made it in the algorithm with this one :D
I wish games on PC had this level of graphical scale today, where you can turn it into a mud painting.
they do its just Fucking buried under UI's and ini Files
@@nickm5419 hmm... Fair point.
Damn how'd you record me playing Oblivion after my mother bought it for me one day randomly back in like 2007.
i read the title and doubted it but wow the entire 7 hours loool
Brings me back but i had a Pentium
you my friend, have gone the distance. great job on the video.
If you look closely the game even reaches 7 frames per second, which is double the world record for FPS in games on planet Neptune.

Bro is playing the XBox/PS2 port of Oblivion
Truly miserable. But then I remember playing stuff not far off from like this back when I was a kid. Couldn't even imagine it nowadays.

This is so weird. Well played.
This is the reason why I pay internet
you sir are a legend
@@MrFirefox I try.
Impressive. Very nice.
PC truly is the masterrace.
You actually did it!!
This brings back so many memories of trying to make oblivion run on my shitty computer. Liked!
damn, this shit brought me back, reminds me of playing minecraft on the lowest render distance and still getting 10 fps lol, i remember these days like it was yesterday lol
awesome, gave me memories !
Yep, I remember this. Fun times!
beautiful video

@@WinXP_SP1 WOW! This impresses me more than a high end gamer pc
there is a patch for Doom 3 that allows it to run on a Voodoo 2, and es, it looks as expected.
I love this game
It's like Oblivion and Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight had an illegitimate child 😂
amazing job
Upgrade the computer?? How dare you? This rig is perfect.
bro this is how i played this back in 2006 except my celeron was 1.7 ghz and the gpu was radeon 9550 128 mb. i COULDN'T finish it until i got myself a slighty better PC that was a laptop with integrated graphics. it was literally a 10 fps improvement (from 5 to 15) and i beat the game and all the guilds with these graphics
A rare thing of beauty 🤣
my eyes
Found footage.
lol reminds me of my kid days playing this game on an i3 sandy bridge laptop and intel hd 3000, same framerates but looks a little better. That's pretty playable for me!
2:52 "I was bored in '87."
Wow u already played it
It looks like Dagerfall lol
Valheim with same graphics quality: Snowstorm= RTX3060 20fps
4:03:25 I was just about to make a comment asking if you were streaming this originally or if someone just walked in and started talking to you when you answered before I could finish typing lol
And congratulations for making it that far into it.
how'd you record this
I captured the feed from the old PC to my main rig.
i bet this took years off your life
Yeah, well let us be happy Skyrim didn't run. Ofc I could just step up to a Pentium 4 :v)
you should try morrowind on that machine, its pretty fun
Fuck this.
🙃
this is important, for science 😂😂
The lag that also happens on Xbox Series X, it’s just a nostalgic fact of life, love to see it 🥲
how old are you?
Old
@@WinXP_SP1 i figured lol
SOVL
The non-native aspect ratio alone triggers me.
Not to mention the poor draw distance.
Get your money up not your funny up.
playing on easy mode. weak, journalist level challenge.
Xbox 360 edition
The CPU and RAM are closer to the og XBOX, the GPU somewhere inbetween.
I'd call this the Xbox 60 edition :D
@@HappyBeezerStudios lol 😆
Impressive tbh
