      Ive not personally tried but apparently the vpn trick doesnt work as of the last month.

      Not sure if eneba/cdkeys would sell our region codes at a discounted price, kinda doubt it.

      So best would most likely be discounted giftcards to buy the gamepass core 12 month and convert it to ultimate.

    Honestly though, one of the greatest game soundtracks ever made. Can't wait for the nostalgia hit of exiting the sewers at the beginning of the game.

        Wasn’t even meaning to do that. I just want to buy a physical copy of this game for PS5.
        Although, I might just end up subscribing to Game Pass instead.

    Skyrim was my first foray into the Elder Scrolls series… and I loved every hour of it (150+). Without the nostalgia, is Oblivion worth playing or am I going to be disappointed?

    FWIW - Fallout 4 was my first Fallout game, and I struggled with Fallout 3 and New Vegas - the mechanics felt too devolved from what I was first exposed to.

    • SunsetCowboy on 23/04/2025 - 02:10

      I remember having a whale of a time with NV when it released on console, and still enjoyed FO4 even though it was divisive among die-hards. My apologies I know that wasn't related to you question, as I'm in the same boat. Probably worth a shot for the price of the sub tho.

      Apparently the FO3 Remaster is on the way too!

        Thats correct the same people who have made the elder scrolls oblivion remastered (It also depends how well this game sells) are working on fallout 3 remastered

        • SunsetCowboy on 23/04/2025 - 02:41

          Honestly believe that if Fable gets pushed again, we'll for sure get it.

      is Oblivion worth playing

      I haven't played it before, but from the brief parts of the live video I saw, it does look like they've made changes for modern day view. Things like much more characters are voiced, addition of a crosshair for bow and I think they added a sprint? Maybe wait and see when reviews come out but it doesn't look like its the same as you going from FO4 to FO3/NV.

      unfortunately i don't think you'll like it. remasters are usually nostalgia trips, and while they may improve on gui and graphics, it's the game mechanics that'll struggle to catch up

      • spast1ka on 23/04/2025 - 06:58

        If you did any reading about the game, they have reworked many of the combat mechanics and even included a dodge button now.
        This really should be called a remake not a remaster since it was built ground up using UE5.

          in regard to the OP asking a question while highlighting his preferences, i gave him a straight answer saying it will most likely not live up to his expectations. downvote bombing both us won't change this fact.

          sequels are built from improvements in previous titles within the series. i liked oblivion, but it's a 20 year old game with some pretty outdated concepts with major balance issues which they've tried to address in the remaster. i'm personally not sold on it and i don't think it's worth the pricetag or experience right now.

          i've also watched shroud and lirik play it.
          https://www.twitch.tv/shroud/clip/UglyPlayfulCatPipeHype-AT0…

          you are welcome to nostalgiajerk away, but it won't change the reality that some people aren't going to like this game especially if they're used to newer titles

          @Fabman: floor's open for you to put your opinion out there if you disagree instead of hiding behind an anonymous downvote

          • FabMan on 23/04/2025 - 08:39
            +3

            @uzr89p9jd: Sure, you have given an opinion based upon what is effectively nonsense. You may have a valid point with many other games when a remaster happens, not this time. This isn't a remaster, it is a remake, the game mechanics have changed.

            I'm warning people that liked the original that they might not like this as it has changed significantly, while you are warning people the old mechanics haven't modernised and are out of date. Part of the appeal back then was the engine itself and how you interacted with the world, Unreal doesn't offer that same experience. It will be different, better for some, worse for other, but definitely not the same. This isn't an old game with a fresh coat of paint, it is built from the ground up with different game mechanics. I'd personally have preferred Oblivion using the Starfield engine as I am someone often baited by nostalgia.

            • uzr89p9jd on 23/04/2025 - 09:10

              @FabMan: a comment being nonsense because you personally disagree with it is not a valid counter-argument. pre-charging your response with emotion is an analogue for cupping your hands over your ears before saying what you wanted to say.

              yes, i agree that some things have been updated like: combat, animations, enemy AI, introduction of sprinting, leveling and scaling changes (much needed), but at the same time the game is still oblivion at its core. when he enters the imperial city for the first time and sees like 10 people, and assassins creed or red dead has cities bustling with life, is it really worth it? the hook for people buying oblivion remaster is because they've played the original. all you've tried to do was project your own opinion onto him precisely because you've played it, while he's outright telling you he's apprehensive because he hasn't played it.

              the engine overhaul and building the game from the ground-up is one thing, but is it enough to sell someone who's used to playing modern titles on a recreation of a 20 year old game on a $70/85/100 price tag?

            • uzr89p9jd on 23/04/2025 - 10:20
              +3

              @FabMan: i'd also like to point out that only the graphics were remade on UE5 — the game engine is still using the old gamebryo engine.

              Bethesda and Virtuos say—in terms I can understand—that they've got UE5 handling the graphics and good old Gamebryo handling the core logic. That's a whole lot of game to put in one place.

              source: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/the-elder-scrolls/hot-damn-the…

              This isn't an old game with a fresh coat of paint

              this means it's pretty much a fresh coat of paint

              so there we have it. i'm a bethesda fan and own pretty much all their games and i don't think it's quite at the pricepoint that i'd recommend the game right now. instead, i'd suggest OP play original oblivion with mods, and maybe even try out skyblivion when it comes out

              • FabMan on 23/04/2025 - 10:26

                @uzr89p9jd: Ahhh, well that information changes everything and I'm more excited for it. I was just finishing off my statement when I saw this pop up, my statement is no longer relevant. I still don't think having numerous game mechanics updated will make it feel like the old version, but I will have to wait until I've played it to be sure.

      I've played them all since Arena and if you enjoyed Skyrim you'll probably enjoy this though I obviously have no experience with this remaster. If you've got game pass you've got nothing to lose. I do question if it's worth buying though given it's $100 for those on PC (should be free for those of us that still have the original box and disc) and especially so given the upcoming Skyblivion release.

        “Should be free for those of us with the original” - I wish my car manufacturer also worked like that when they remake and release a newer model than I have …

    • ForkSnorter on 23/04/2025 - 07:01

      I had the same question. I love the way Skyrim is not dominated by the story, so you can do your own thing. Is Oblivion like this?

      • Abaddon on 23/04/2025 - 11:15

        Yes, you have lots of freedom in terms of where you spend your time, similar factions with their varying quests, lots of random encounters to discover, interesting characters and stories everywhere (and the main quest is also great, but can be done whenever you want).

    • kalithreaver on 23/04/2025 - 08:44

      I think so, its a very similar game. i enjoyed skyrim but i found that the skills and leveling was dumb down compared to oblivion, which again was dumbed down from morrowind.

      They looked to have fixed the issues oblivion had back in the day so im really excited to play it once more!

      • Psomaggi on 23/04/2025 - 18:08

      Blue Prince has taken the internet by storm, I just finished South of Midnight the other day, I'm currently addicted to Crime Scene Cleaner, Expedition 33 releases tomorrow and now Oblivion..

    added bonuses of gamepass ultimate at the moment Clair Obscur expedition 33 starring Charlie Cox, Ben Starr and Andy Serkis which releases in roughly a day or so on gamepass ultimate. Plus if you got 1 month today for Oblivion, you'd have roughly 1 week of gamepass ultimate left to play Doom The Dark Ages when it comes out next month. Not bad value.

    Between this, starting Indiana Jones and TGC, and randomly downloading Star Wars KOTOR on my new phone just for kicks (I'm still amazed that this game, which once brought my PC to its knees, can now be played on a phone — mindblowing), it looks like my gaming life is going to be pretty packed for the next month.

      Indy was an excellent game, 100%'d and looking forward to DLC stories. Speaking of bringing you PC to it's knees, this is the one. If anyone is playing on pre-40 series, I definitely recommend Lossless Scaling app, let me play the game fully maxxed out with high-res textures at decent framerates on an RTX3090 (though NVIDIA claims it can't be done).

      The option for choosing the character sex is on the second screen after you pick your race. It's the last game you could call "woke" - you can't even select pronouns and characters refer to you by the chosen sex.

    As it is a remastered, there is good chance for a price drop. You can play it on game pass until then :)

    Also there are apparently a bunch of bugs, and optimization is needed. So waiting before buying may be a good solution.
