5. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Xbox 360, PS3)
Im pretty sure this is going to be a controversial pick, but nevertheless onto the list it goes. When the game was released in 2006 the graphics were a huge leap up from Morrowind I remember the water effects and some Oblivion locations being particularly breathtaking - but even back then I never actually felt the game as a whole was beautiful: the character models were absolutely hideous for a start. Everyone had suddenly gone from being perilously thin and under developed in Morrowind, to round faced, bug eyed and generally saggy. Its like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, only instead of replacing the NPCs with perfect replicas they were replaced by a much older version of themselves. The world itself was pretty unremarkable, and lacked the charm and character of the previous settings in the series. The draw distance had improved remarkably, but Cyrodiil still felt so small and simplistic compared to Vvenderfell. Everything about Cyrodiil was lifeless and homogenised, and in the six intermittent years it has only gotten worse. Oblivion certainly doesnt have the worst graphics Ive seen in a current generation game: but Im kind of put off from returning, knowing I can get a more enjoyable experience in Morrowind or Skyrim. Im also aware that high res mods are available for the PC version, but unfortunately my laptop is too inadequate for such endeavours. But if I did, Im pretty sure Id have more important mods to install first: like the Mr. Mochi mod and, inevitably, the nude mod.
