Okay, this game is fantastic...

Those of you with loading problems and intense lag: If you have a hard drive then the cache it's storing to load levels faster is fragmenting your hard drive. There is a fix for this, you can find it on the xbox.com forums. It has been known to cut down 2 minute load times and bad wilderness lag to the acceptable 15 second loading times + little to no wilderness lag.

If you don't have a hard drive, sucks to be you.

I have yet to encounter any bugs or overly choppy frame rate yet, and I've played 15 hours worth of it. The physics are a little funky sometimes, but that's it.

Amazing game, I'd say it definitely lived up to the hype.

Seems like a lot to me... a lot more then most games I must say.

You know, my friend complained about the same exact thing 2 days ago, so I made a video for him demonstrating how simple it is to do it.

Mold rat - Ive played it for about 10 hours and its fine here on PC. The interface works fine, and it does not in anyway seem like a crappy port or whatever you said.

GOOD GAME!!

Very good, in my opinion.. This is by far one of the best games i've played in a -long- time. I'm 26 hours into the game now.

[edit] Over 30 hours now :p

Take a look here if you'd like to see how i'm doing at it...

I love this game. I have a crappy x300 (ati suck), and it runs fine,(albeit at 640x480), but even that cappy res cant make this game look bad. I love fighting in the arena! Go AXES w00000000t!! Being a fan and owner of all the games in the series, Oblivion definately doesnt dissappoint!

Or get a 360! The game is great on a 360, I haven't tried on a pc, but I just can't imagine the game being better on pc. Bethesda did(as somebody wrote in this thread) build this game for the 360, and ported it to pc. I've had no performance problems, except for one time when my Xbox froze. And I've played for around 30 hours.

This is THE best game I've played EVER. The 'hugeness' of it, the detail, the physics and AI, and just about everything else this game has to offer, makes this the best AND most enjoyable game I've played.

The game is far better on the PC if you have the hardware, especially with mods (Not too sure if the 360 has something for modding). There are weird gameplay issues that are fixed with a few mods. The "psycic guards" problem being one of them.

i.e Robbing a store when no guard is nearby, then suddenly the second you break in a guard gets you. Or murdering some guy in the middle of nowhere and 1 second later a guard appears from behind you.
