  GT5 gets a bad rap as being broken, staid or even backward. As a love letter to automobiles, it's peerless to my mind. Sure, there are more accurate simulations available on other platforms and the crash damage is piecemeal in the face of even lighter fare (the awesome Grid, for example), but GT5 favours aesthetic perfection above the grim realities of racing. It's more about sunlight dancing across the bonnet than the fumes from the exhaust. And what's so bad about that? Reply +12

  I'm not surprised that Skyrim has been so divisive. That Bethesda flavour is a distinctly acquired taste and had it not been for recent reconsideration of New Vegas (and to a lesser extent Fallout 3 and Oblivion), I myself would have been on a Dovahkiin downer. Simply put, until one of them clicks, you've very little chance of enjoying any of them. Fortunately, Skyrim is easily the most accessible of the lot. As for bugs, I've encountered a few. Certainly not enough to hamper progress or diminish Bethesda's achievement. Reply +1

  If GF were that bad then it wouldn't have spawned the sequels it did in the far east.
