It's that whole "difference of opinion" thing that people so often struggle with. I don't like sandbox games built around wandering around and grinding for character skills. I think they get real boring real quick. I like stories. That's why 99% of the time I play RPGs. That's why I don't play shooters, that's why I don't play sports games, that's why I don't play RTS. But saying that doesn't mean Oblivion's a bad game in general, it just means it's a bad game for me. I mean, yes, I thought it sucked. I couldn't finish half of it. But that doesn't mean everybody else is obligated to think it sucks, too, or that they're stupid or something because they liked it. It just means different people like different things. I'm not the least bit excited about Skyrim, either, and won't be getting it at least until the GOTY edition, and maybe not ever. But I still hope the people who enjoy that kind of game of love the hell out of it. In the end it's not really any different than talking about the battlefield games, or the GTA games, or anything else. They may not be my cup of tea, but I hope everybody who does play gets their money's worth.
