Graphics wise GRAW is superb, but the environments in Oblivion are spot on.

I gotta admit: that game looks pretty nice. Obviously, March is a good time to own/buy an Xbox 360.
However, these damn achievement points make it too hard for me to buy new games. "I've only got 1400 of a possible 6000 - shouldn't I just spend more time on what I've got?" I know this is a bad benchmark, because some games make it a little too easy to get all the achievements (hello, King Kong!), and I happened to pick four of the most difficult games to get them for, but it still bothers me. What with the holidays coming up, I'll probably just ask for it as a birthday present in May.

Well, to me, it's kind of an "overall completion level" measurement. And, again, you guys are all correct that certain things (eg, "number one on the leader board") are poor measures of that. If I yanked off stuff that relied on relative skill (eg, get SS in DOA 4) and things that just can't be done ("perfect game" in Smash TV), that maximum would be a lot lower. I'm not really a gamerscore whore yet, but having a lowish score is indicative to me that I've not really explored all my games so much (including that whopping "10" in PD0).
Still, the point remains: I'm pretty busy with what I've got, and since Oblivion has no multiplayer, I can finish it at my leisure without worrying about the player base "moving on".

Sorry, but I gotta disagree... Oblivion's graphics are very good, no matter what platform we are talking about.Originally posted by: Rage187
Guess I shouldnt compare it to PC graphics. It looks good for a console however.Originally posted by: Wingznut

Cool, I'm currently located where that screenshot was taken. I'm not fighting that thing though and I certainly don't have armor anywhere near as nice. I need to find some mithril.Originally posted by: Wingznut

While HL2 does have excellent graphics, I guess I'll just have to respectfully disagree that it's so much better than Oblivion. No matter what resolution or what AA/AF settings, HL2 just doesn't have the same visual impact. The character models, the weapon models, the terrain... It's all so flat and lifeless compared to Oblivion. I could bring up screenshot after screenshot... But I'm not in the mood.Originally posted by: Rage187
Half Life 2 at 1920x1080 w/ 8AA and 16AF looks better then anything put out on the 360.
HL2 came out what? 2 years ago?
Totally agree. Half-Life 2 is still a great game, but it has been surpassed graphically by multiple games at this point. And, honestly, the kind of graphics card to run at that setting is going to cost more than the 360. Apples to oranges - show us a $400 system that runs Oblivion as well as the 360.Originally posted by: Wingznut

Please, let's not start into this arguement! There really is no right or wrong answer. You could probably get close to a $400 PC to play Oblivion in 480i, but when we're talking higher resolutions, a high-end PC will cost a lot, but so will an HDTV to hook the 360 to.Originally posted by: erwos

That would be a good point if I couldn't hook my 360 up to a PC monitor, or a PC to my HDTV - but that's not the case. My point still stands: if you want to spend a couple grand on your uber gaming PC, it'll smoke a 360, no doubt about it - but for a lot of us, the $400 on the 360 is the better value.Originally posted by: blurredvision
