That's like asking "cake or chicken, which taste better?" Two completely different things that you can't really compare. Both games are great though.

Forgive me for not wanting to do what I consider to be a waste and play a game that, in my opinion, lacks any real substance other than amazing visuals.

IMO Crysis > Oblivion. I couldnt even bring myself to finish oblivion. I bought it both for the PC and for the Xbox 360 and just didnt like it on either setup. I played both of them for about 4 - 6 hours so and it was just to slow and boring for me so I quit. I loved EVERY aspect of crysis other than my systems lackluster performance in the game, but it is to be expected. I feel to many people dislike crysis because it was hyped up alot and when that happens...no matter what there will always be people that say the game sucked because THEY believe it did not live up to the hype. IMO just because a game is hyped (i.e. Halo 3) does not mean that if it isnt without faults that it cant still be a great game. Crysis was everything I expected it to be...even though it started to get somewhat long in the SP around 10 hours for me. Just my two cents.

Best,

For me, it depends upon what you want to do. I really enjoyed playing Oblivion. Real-time RPGs rock! I spent countless hours immersed in the game. Once I got to the point where I had a good invisibility spell, a lifesight-enchanted ring, and the Daedric armor that I enchanted with the sigil stones, I was rockin' good. It was a lot of fun taking a character who was pretty much built for strength and forcing him to take a magic path. Now he is tops in both fields. I'm looking forward to the expansion pack The Shivering Isles.

Shivering Isles has been out for quite a while now, its pretty good but doesnt deviate from the original game all that much imho.

I would say Oblivion. This is not to say that Crysis is bad, but in my

opinion it is about the same as FarCry, good for one go around and

then a few plays here and there to show off your rig. In Oblivion, I

have enjoyed countless hours of messing with the guards and with

people. I also have been known to play with the console commands.

tcl, resurrect, movetoqt(only after my first time beating the game)

In Crysis, the coolest stuff in the game was for the most part in the

demo. Testing the physics, and messing around with the "if i do this

then what will happen?" sort of thing. But in the end, I think Oblivion

provides a much longer lasting gameplay experience then Crysis, at least

for me.

Oblivion>crysis. Crysis was fun, but I won't play it again until I can get good performance at high settings. even then it will only be to see the graphics. nothing about the story makes me want to play it over at this point. Oblivion on the other hand has so much to do and see it is jsut ridiculous... there could be a hundred hours of gameplay it you wanted there to be. Crysis= 6 hours of gameplay for me, maybe some benchmarks.
 
I have both of these games and they are both fun with great graphics.

Like some of the others here said, its two totally different game styles and you have to decide what interests you more. Midevil timeline gameplay or more futuristic gameplay.

Both games require a pretty decent system to run on higher settings so if you dont have fairly new hardware you may need to do some upgrades before you get either game.

Personally I recommend either game but again it depends on your interest of game style...

Oblivion is a much deeper game and will prove more game time for the money.

Didn't finish Crysis yet, but I think I will. So far - stunning graphics, mediocre gameplay. Still, a good game overall.

Oblivion... was a bitter disappointment for me. Again, beautiful graphics but too many things in that game just suck. I quit when that fellow Baurus found me on the deepest level of a dungeon on the other side of the map, and then tried to escort me back to Imperial city sewers ON FOOT. That game is full of bugs and flaws like that. It's such a pity.

I think STALKER, Bioshock and COD4, to name but a few, are better than both these games.

I like RPGs, especially when I don't have to drag a bunch of teammates around with me. I really like Diablo 1&2, Dungeon Siege 1 (haven't played 2 yet) and Sacred Gold. I sat down and started playing Oblivion on my 360. My neighbor gave it to me when he couldn't get more for trade in than $7.00. I LOVE FPS games but again when they don't require single player team control.

I prefer Crysis to Oblivion. Totally different games though. I like older RPGs more than Oblivion (Dungeon Siege especially). I'm not finished with Crysis and have put at least 20 hours into it. I'm playing on Hard and am not rushing through. I like to "kill everything" and explore and play with the environment. Doing so makes the game so much more.

I'm not too far into Oblivion. Some of it just seems "TOO MUCH". Some is just annoying, but I'm actually trying to decide if I'm going to buy if for my PC and get off the 360 controller. I might like it more on the PC simply because of being able to use a keyboard/mouse.

I loved Lineage II, but it's an online only pay per month game. I hoped Guildwars would be as good, but it has too many annoying limitations (god I hate crafting!!!) and it's not really a jump in and play for 20 minutes then come back 3 days later and continue from were you last were. DS, Sacred are like that. Oblivion is kinda like that, but more slow paced.

Crysis isn't much fun with all the lag (no my system isn't ancient)

I can't hold 20fps ingame while fighting a few foes...

Game loading off of a 2x36gb raptor raid 0, opteron 2,6ghz with 2gb @ 500mhz, 8800gts 640.

Sure it's hardly creme de la creme, but I expect to play at above LOW, with no AA

Crysis is effing stupid, They should've waited five years with the release, and it doesn't even look that good at very high to begin with.

It totally depends on what kind of games you like. Oblivion and Crysis are both among the best in their respective genres.

If you are and RPG fan you will get a hell of a lot more our of Oblivion, and that's before you discover some of the awesome mods that have been made for it.

If you are a shoot-em-up instant gratification type gamer then you will probably hate Oblivion and love Crysis. Personally I think HL2 and its episodes are better games than Crysis. That isn't to say that Crysis is bad, but HL2 is just that good.

One last thing, if you don't have a beastly system you won't enjoy Crysis nearly as much. The visuals really enhance the gameplay.
 
Yea I thought I was doing good until I hit a real firefight in Crysis.
Have x2 6000+ @3.150 2gig ram and a 8800GTX @ Ultra Speeds (620/1500/1080)
Set all setings to Very High with res @ 1280x1024 life was good avg 25 to 30 fps I was like what is everyone complaining about then I hit a big fight LOL talk about slideshow :( made me sad oh well you gotta have some Hardware to make this thing look good well have fun it looks good but not real impressed with very high settings myself so hard to turn it lower...

I just told a friend, "Crysis is the funnest game I've played since Oblivion". I hadn't even thought about which one is funner 'till I read the post here. I would have to say Oblivion. I've beaten it twice and am on my third go-around, and I'm still thrilled with every aspect of it. I did the same with Morrowind. And occasionally still jump back in to amaze myself with the graphics, sound, story of both. However, Crysis is freak'n fun. It's what I like in a shooter, as I do not like games like COD4. I like the Sci-Fi stuff better. I too agree that HL2+ is better overall. The sound, story and graphics in that order, are what really captured me in HL2.
The graphics are what drives Crysis, I'm on "Ascension" now and playing it on "all high" settings 1280x960, w/2xAA and 16x. It looks amazing w/just DX9 path. I WILL play it again w/DX10 X-fire config. (max settings, to see the difference through the whole game).
...my 2 cents.

Even though they are both in different genres, Its hard for me to recommend a game like Crysis. Its just ok. Its more like extended tech demo (a la Doom 3, Far Cry). It just seems unfinished and unpolished. Oblivion on the other hand seemed like a massive undertaking. Gameplay is fantastic and well thought out, story is amazing, soundtrack is immersive, etc. Oblivion is a game where they focused on three important aspects: Story, gameplay and visuals, none to a lesser extent than others. In Crysis, it seemed like they focused on visuals the most then just threw in the gameplay and story at the end. For those of you who forget, thats my opinion, ha.

Oblivion is a first person game. It's an FPS in my book (plus you can shoot things like bows/spells). I'm not even going to play Crysis through again until my performance is good AND stable. early in the game I tweaked it so that I got near 30 FPS in most situations. much to my surprise my FPS were cut in half on a particular snow stage. I won't even mention how badly the aircraft carrier level ran. It's sad that I can max out COD4, which competes well with crysis, and stay above 30 FPS on the same rig that won't run Crysis well on medium.
 
I am an RPG person, much like Stromm, except that I love Guild Wars; can play for hours, helping people on missions, or w/e. I enjoy all the other games he mentioned; I see some D2 or Sacred in my immediate future on a long flight, if not before.
I tried Morrowind, but found it tedious and mechanically very difficult; Oblivion I found similarly difficult so I only played it for maybe half an hour. I tell myself I'll try it again, and see how immersive it is, if I can get past the mechanics. I lost a lot of left-hand coordination in 1980, so I prefer a more automated combat, but I'm still getting better with practice.
I don't know if I'll get Crysis. I like Deathmatch in Unreal Tournament, but I'm just not that twitchy. I'm waiting for the next great RPG. I have high hopes for Guild Wars 2, but specific reasons to be very nervous that it will byte big bones. We'll see.
