This is a classic and one of the reviews everyone will remember.
Oblivion was truely the first next generation RPG and it's sad how the genre has degenerated since then. Though at the time the review was written it was not as clear as today that it was all because of the god damn consoles and the stupid people who'd buy them. Subsequently not the PC as a gaming platform died, but PC gaming as we knew it before 2005.

I'll have to give a brofist to this review in 2017.
Never too late to read it. Had some good laughs. I remember following all that hype prior to the release very closely back then (not too long ago). The hype... was... enormous. The disappointment was rather big, despite I was trying to hold my horses and be realistic about it.
Luckily I didn't make the same mistake again with Fallout 3, whereas I didn't catch any of that pre-release hype. How so? Well, Oblivion hype taught me, that even when trying to set expectations rather lower end regardless of the hype, Bethesda can still fuck things up even worse. Of course, Fallout 3's hype was way easier to eliminate as whole, knowing, that it wouldn't be anything in it's style like it's predecessor, Fallout 2, whereas with Oblivion, I was hoping a good sequel for Morrowind, which of course, is way more closely tied to Oblivion by it's style, than what Fallout 2 is to Fallout 3.
Fallout 3 isn't really a sequel at all, despite it's title, duh. FO2 and FO3 don't really have anything in common when it comes to how the game generally works and plays out.

Good review this is the first time I read it, not much changed since then.
