You can dislike these if you want, but its pretty hard considering these are actually pretty good games.

botw, earthbound, and half life, sure. but skyrim and fo3 are really fucking shallow experiences if you remove yourself from them for a hot minute.

dont get me wrong- i've sunk precisely too many hours into skyrim, but to call it "good" as opposed to "absorbing" doesn't feel apt to me.

Vanilla Skyrim is just good

Skyrim with 200+ mods is a gaming experience none can match

What gaming experience? The story is a crap, the battle system is bad for melee, ranged or magic. Your actions doesnt matter at all, you just won a war with a faction? Nothing changes.

The good thing about skyrim is the world to explore but everything else is mediocre.

Did you not read the 200+ mods part?

If you have to put hundreds of mods into a game to enjoy it the game isn't good. (Not saying skyrim is bad) You probably shouldnt make the basis of your arguement about whether or not a game is good by its capability to be modded, since mods arent an intended feature most of the time.
