It has some of the best questing they've ever done. I've always thought that.
What’s a better game? Starfield or Oblivion Remastered?

I was referring to PC in my post I should have said so.
Its UE5, the engine always has problems on PC. Silent Hill ran like crap for me as well.

Still have fond memories of oblivion but bounced right off starfield. Nothing in the latter seems to matter; it's almost on rails in a sense. I guess oblivion is like that too but it still felt like more freedom and a more interactive world to me. I made it about 30 hours into Starfield and seemingly every mission was the same. Talk a while, fly somewhere, talk some more, spam pew pew guns, talk some more, loot 50 copies of the same exact gun and helmet. No one notices you did anything.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is called 'woke' by angry gamers
Many players have been left enraged by a controversial change by the game's developers -prompting accusations of wokeness.

for the rumored fallout 3 remaster, i hope they just didn't slap on the fallout 4/amazon show aesthetic. fallout 3 was so apocalyptic and opressive

Nah, these are too different to compare based on setting and to

's point, he is correct, you are trying to compare a game that was the 4th version in the series, with a game that is the very first of its series.
We know not of what Starfield will be by the time we get to Starfield 2, 3, 4 etc Like Oblivion, like Mass Effect 2, like Fallout 3, shit like MGS3, along the way we might get what many people feel is THE BEST Starfield that they love or something, we are simply not there yet..
Along the way it could have motherships to house other smaller ships, bigger battles, other races you can select and play like cyborg, android, alien etc We simply don't now how that series will move on for this comparison to be valid. I own both day 1 btw...

I've actually played Starfield. Start to finish. Spent 50 hours on it. It's not as bad as many say it is
Is it oblivion? HELL NO. Oblivion is 10x better. But it's a serviceable little space story. That's about all. The ending was semi cool I thought. Even did a TINY bit of NG+ just to see what happens
But starfield was WAY OVERHYPED for what it was. No one will remember this game in 20 years.
Unlike oblivion

Bethesda is that athlete who should've hung it up awhile ago, but stuck around too long and is now whoring themselves out to international leagues, online casino commercials, and senior citizen health insurance commercials shown during daytime soap opera hours. At this point they should just remaster Morrowind, Skyrim, Fallout 3, and New Vegas and then just retire to the mobile slop they've been so keen on since Fallout Shelter. Let single player mainline games like The Elder Scrolls and Fallout die peacefully because they aren't going to approach anything magical like Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout 3/NV ever again.

AFTER ES6, we will all know if they still got any magic left. That one game will determine all anyone needs to know about their future.
If it sucks. Then yes. I'll agree with what you said. Remaster your classics and go join Konami with gambling plinko machines or whatever

I for one am 99% sure Elder Scrolls VI will be absolutely gigantic both the game obviously and the sales. There's another great storm coming after GTA VI and that is Elder Scrolls VI. More than Skyrim most likely, at the very least over 50 million copies within a decade.
I also thought Fallout 4 was amazing after modding it up with the right mods and a huge majority of the fanbase actually loved it. I get that it lost some of that charm and vibe from the older Fallout games such as FO3/NV and I also wish it had those but it's still a amazing top tier game and still a beyond 10/10 after modding it. The interest and leg and reception was nowhere near Starfields negative reception and leg not even close which is why Fallout 4 still have several to 10x the amount of CCU compared to Starfield. The leg for it is still great, the lore and game still interest tons of modders to keep up with it as well as players and fans to stay with it. It's the 2nd most modded game in history with nearly 2 billion dollars and only Skyrim overall has more at over 9 billion downloads.

I've got well over 100 hours in FO4. And I HATED the base building. So my hours were actual story gameplay and exploring. Loved it.

Oblivion is garbage, let's be real. Somehow its obvious and total shittiness has become charming.

I also don't care for base building much and still liked it a lot, nearly a 1,000 hours. Of course being modded helps a lot.
I really like the Power Armor change they did for Fallout 4, makes it actually feels bulky and powerful. I know most people prefer Far Harbor's DLC but I enjoyed Nuka World just as much.
Both Oblivion and Fallout 4 are actually my two less favorite and less played Elder Scroll and Fallout game out of Morrowind, Fallout 3, Fallout NV, and Skyrim but still really enjoyed them and would still give both a 10/10, 9/10 and easily a beyond 10/10 after modding them.

My fav is Morrowind and FO3. In the series of both.
Def wanted a remaster of both. FO3 apparently coming sooner than later. Morrowind? That's another issue. How long? Who knows.
I'm not a huge modder even though I'm a PC gamer. Just not got bit by the mod bug

Skyrim is my favorite game ever. I am downright pessimistic that TES VI is going to be a steaming pile of disappointment and will signal the death of BGS mainline games. I do hope that I am wrong, of course, but I have next to zero hope that it will be good.

Not sure where Skyrim ranks in all time gaming for me. I'm sure top 25. If not higher. So yeah. 11/11/11 was a special day. Hoping we get that again. Will we? That's the question

Morrowind and Fallout 3 are also my favorite out of the two favorites lol.
Morrowind's deep lore and world is unmatched and doubt we'll get anything like that again until something like Summerset Isles but only if it's way different and unique compared to whatever they got in ESO.
I actually liked NV more at first but after modding both of them to a good level and replaying them, I prefer Fallout 3 more at the end cause New Vegas is more straightforward and linear while Fallout 3 makes it feel like you're really immersed and lost in a new world which makes it better.

FO3 for me was more dark and had scary bits lol maybe that was cause I was but a 21 year old "child" lol
that subway part was creepy to me

Oblivion and its not even close. Yeah yeah Oblivion had 3 games prior and Starfield is a new IP
Doesn't change the fact that its shite.

Starfield easily a better all around game. In fact it's undisputed best game so far this gen.

Yeah it just shows how weak this gen has been when that is the undisputed best game so far released this gen.

I am a wee bit surprised at the lop-sidedness of this poll.
All oblivion quests I have played so far are pretty tedious 'go speak to this guy' or 'help me fight these guys' (and after mashing a sword at three or four enemies it's over).
Gameplay wise, I am not seeing anything that is better then what Starfield offers.
Is it nostalgia? Maybe simpler is better? Maybe one single explorable map is the preferred option? (but again, I haven't stumbled across anything too exciting and tend to fast travel everywhere!)
Maybe I too am forgetting how fragmented the Starfield playing area actually was?

I prefer sci-fi to fantasy. I tried to get into Morrowind back on OG Xbox, Oblivion on 360, and Skryim on XB1, and just couldn't due to my disinterest in fantasy settings. I will say that I have been having fun with Skyrim VR, but that is more of a testament to the platform.

Also, there's something I'd like to say about the group of people who voted for starfield but it will likely put me in trouble, can't say I'm surprised by those individuals though, holding the line taken to new extremes.

Starfield couldn't sniff Outer Worlds' farts so it's DOA in this argument.

This should have been an option in the pool.
IMO they would have been better with a big fleshed-out planet and maybe some smaller moons and space stations to visit.

Please say it. Don't hold back. It's never stopped you before! Imagine getting your panties in a twist about a 2 horse poll

Regarding fast travel in Oblivion - I only started doing it once I realised I wasn't stumbling across anything very interesting. Skyrim/Fallout definitely had a more interesting and varied open world to explore.

Hey now, I'm not the one saying I'm surprised by the outcome of the poll.
Some of the quests you can stumble across within 15 minute travel distance of the opening sewers are more interesting than anything in any of Bethesda's subsequent games, but you do you.

Oblivion is a top-notch Bethesda RPG.
Starfield is what remains after someone is given plenipotentiary decision powers and gets his way in every side of it, and it's raped to completion by said someone known as The Toddler.
