      Ah, I can tell just from your profile pic you are someone who appreciates the ambience in games. The solitary atmosphere present in ODST's Mombasa Streets alongside Marty O'Donnell's sombre and beautiful soundtrack is unmatched. I spent many a rainy night walking home at 3am through a big yet desolate city listening to that soundtrack

    Watching this almost hurts...29 now...wishing I could go back to my innocent life and childhood. Was so happy. This game was incredible. Its more than nostalgia...its the sadness of growing older and finding it harder to find that joy you once had a child is rough. I still play this game from time to time to bring that back. But it'll never be the same, with all the friends lost, new responsibilities, etc. All we can do is listen to this beautiful soundtrack and just be teleported back to a time of bliss.

    I remember the first time I left the sewers in oblivion. It went from a dungeon crawler to a vast open world. When I realized the scale of what I was looking at I instantly fell in love. I saw the mountains in the distance and realized that I could actually walk all the way there if I wanted, I had never seen anything like it. I had played Zelda OOT and Fable TLC, and they were fantastic. But this was on a whole other level, it sucked me in and I lost myself in the world

      I think if you want Bethesda to recapture or surpass your favourite games, you're looking at things the wrong way. For example, Skyrim was the game that I grew up with, and I doubt Bethesda will ever make a game that I, or many people, will like as much as Skyrim, however, that doesn't mean they can't do something different that is great in its own way.

    this game was magic. it did illicit some sort of deep, emotional, subconscious connection to those who played it through and through. a real masterpiece balance of music, environment, sounds, and details. ES has always been an amazing RPG series, but the oblivion team really took IV and shot it to the stars and beyond with incredible replay value.
    I try to understand like this: some things in life happen at a precise time, an interval in existence where if it happened just a moment later or earlier, it wouldn’t have had the same success.

    Official *'My very first hour after leaving the sewers'* thread:
    It was sunrise outside. After messing with the settings for 15 minutes trying to claw back some framerate while standing on the jetty, the first thing I did was cross the river, poke around the ruins there, kill a mudcrab, run away from a bandit, and then I walked directly North up into the hills as night fell. My route went up a gully and past a cave with a door that some guy told me had a witch in it, and up towards the mountains. Halfway up the hill, where the ground started to turn into scrub and gravel, I turned around and, through a gap in the gently waving trees, saw the imperial city and was awestruck. Never forget sitting for 10 minutes and soaking up the crickets, music and whisper of breeze, while the moons tracked across the galaxy of stars above the imperial tower.

      no
      but they're fine in their own way
      videogames are a form of design, it can be argued that design is a form of art but a vast portion (the majority) of art critiques will disagree. It is a really fine experience, i love videogames, but i believe calling it art is insulting. The americans like to call all this stuff "art": game art for example, is not Art, its an illustration functional to a consumer product. Its revised by multiple people before being packaged and shipped. Being the result of a three dimensional simulation, it has to be contained within its boundaries (different "modules" that compose a 3d engine). Just from a pictorial approach, it is far inferior to a painting. Think of how LOD is treated in distance: things are scaled down, mixed with ambient color (the "fog" you see in the distance) and thats it. Compare this to a painting: two different worlds. I could digress even more but in the end what the heck am i doing, no one even asked me anything so ill let you all be

      @@rdl8443 What are you waffling on about? You’re arguing that games aren’t art because of details like LOD? There are plenty of art galleries that have ‘art’ that is just paint thrown onto a canvas. Claude Monet’s paintings are just as blurry as the LOD in video games. Of course video games are art and imo they have many benefits over other art forms, being so much more detailed and expansive than any painting could ever be. I don’t agree with the OPs comment because I don’t think there is a best form of art, but claiming video games aren’t art is just snobbery.
