i'm a little baffled by skyrim hate sometimes. when it came out nobody could shut up about it for about 8 months like it was some life changing event, and now all i hear about is how lame it is despite having spent 100+ hours on it. i understand its not for everybody but it seems weird anybody would spend that much time on something so allegedly shallow...
maybe its because i was new to open world wrpgs, or because i pretty much sat the gen out until 2011, but it was a mystifying experience for me... probably in my top 5 gaming experiences of all time. i think people hate on the combat because it had the misfortune of coming out the same time as Dark Souls, though that doesn't excuse its jankiness. and yeah virtually every quest is a dungeon dive but i'm not really sure how there can be a way around that... pretty much every ES was like that before.
but even to this day i'm discovering new things, and i haven't even touch DLC yet. i understand different strokes for different folks but i find it odd the game has so much backlash two years later
