Of the different camps of division that grew up around the F3 release I was adamantly in the: "Wait and see guys, I will give the game a shot before judging group."
I was neither with the crowd wetting their pants for a Bethesda game nor with the purist fanboys at the NMA who screamed heresy at it. After playing through the game I hated to admit to myself that the fanboys were (mostly) right. To describe the different negatives of the game would take several hours and produce an essay. Needless to say I did not waste my money on the DLCs.
 
Other then that I generally have good personal video game sense and don't buy or play games that I perceive as Meh.
Every other game lately has been pretty much what I expected it to be. Well Risen was a pain in the beginning but it picked up later on.
