Hmmm..
I'd honestly put Skyrim in the top 10 of this gen, don't know what you are all crying about..
Biggest disappointment of this gen was ME3, no question about it.
Biggest failure? Hard to know where to start. There's DA2, the entirety of the Splinter Cell series this gen, etc.. etc.. It's hard to call out indies for "failing" as there is not much there to start with, but the big budget failures are simply terrible.
Most people who dislike Skyrim, do so because:
1. They feel it didn't live up to the hype, or simply didn't meet their own expectations. Fair enough.
2. It's not as good as other similar game(s) they played. Fair enough.
3. They're morons.
Most people fall into one of the first two. Elton John falls into category 3.
There are also a number of people who "hate" Skyrim, yet can't seem to stop talking about and playing it. Two prominent members of this forum, who I shall not name, are like that.
And yes, ME3 is the single most disappointing game of this generation, bar none. I figured it's not worth mentioning though since that dead horse has already been beaten enough.
I dislike Skyrim because it uses Oblivion's mechanics and formula and I gave the reasons as to why I hated Oblivion. I even admitted that I thought Morrowind was an alright game so I'm hardly a moron for not adhering to your fanboyism. If Bethesda produce another good RPG then I'll praise it. Since Morrowind however, they have not produced a good RPG and people are just blinded by fanboyism, misplaced loyalism (like the ones some fans had for DA2 when it first released) and by the fact that they haven't played better games.
Skyrim is enough to keep one interested for 15 + hours before they realize that the game world is pretty much empty and filled with the same problem that plagued Oblivion and Failout 3 (i.e places not worth exploring as there's no individuality within them) and that combat is a repetitive point and click feast against broken enemy AI. Add this all to a world with no consequences to your actions, a linear main quest, an anti-climax ending and tons of bugs enough to make Obsidian proud and you've got nothing more than your typical sandbox game.

Perhaps some of us just really see the flaws in these games you like and don't hold onto the type of fanboyism displayed with CoD fans and who are baffled as to why such games sell better than wonderfully designed games such as Dark Souls, The Witcher 2 and Dragon Age: Origins.
Then again, CoD is one of the best selling series out there, so it explains a lot as to why Skyrim is so popular especially with all the marketing it had.

It's called opinion and I'm not alone in listing Oblivion and Fallout 3 (see the above people). In fact I'd say the people who like these games are on crack or simply haven't played the prior games in the series and are blinded by their nostalgia and/or fanboyism for a deteriorating series. (And don't use that back at me. I played the likes of Baldur's Gate and the original Fallout's only a few years ago. There's a reason why these games withstand the test of time and why the likes of Oblivion hasn't. Anyone going back to Oblivion from Skyrim hates it)
I prefer Fallout 3 and New Vegas to the earlier Fallout games(which I did still enjoy), and I still enjoy both Oblivion and Skyrim in their own ways.
but apparently my opinion is wrong or "misinformed" because it doesn't agree with your opinion.
Well it's my opinion and doesn't invalidate yours...
I was only generalizing because others here are doing the same. I was simply doing it as a response to them to show that generalizations can be used both ways. In my intial post however, I stated that all of this is simply my opinion, even the subsequent statements I've said afterwards in defense of my list (including my response to greenmoron above).
But if they have a valid reason to their argument then they are welcome to post it rather than just calling me a moron for giving a constructive reason as to why I hate Oblivion and Skyrim. That's just going to lead me to respond back with ad hominems too (because I can, as they have) which in turn leads to no where constructive.
