Because 4chan calls everything shit.

Skyrim's by no means a perfect game, but it's far from a glittered turd.

Although they persuaded me to think the industry is dying.
I gotta wonder, what did they say that convinced you of that? XD
Id be hard pressed to believe anything /v/ says and they dont tend to make very reasonable arguments.
Metacritic Bomb of Dragon Age 2 after the terrible Damage Control performed by Bioware for one. They never forgave Bioware after that, I actually lost my edit privileges after talking about how Bioware should be Fallen Creators for such a fiasco. But nope TV Tropes dismissed such claims. After all, most of the average joe is gullible and impressionable.

And they do like certain games, it is just that the place is welcome to everyone, and that may include RPGCodex/NMA or some random dedicated fansite who simply hate a series.

The board was made so Moot can make a more friendly version of ADTRW. After all, somethingawful is home to all of the internet geniuses.

OP obviously doesn't read Gaming Discussion threads very often. Take a look at the "Holy Shit Skyrim" thread, for example, where over half the posts on the first page are bashing the game. I see more posts bashing it than praising it on the Escapist now.

Because it isn't shit.

Some people think it's a fantastic example of an RPG, some people think it's great but with flaws, some people thinks it's average.

But shit? The brown, smelling excrements of humanity and life on earth?
Totally, bro.

It seems that they think it is a lazily done game that was dumbed down and could have been a lot better, even though it was fun. You guys are confusing /v/ hating with /v/ criticizing something.
Skyrim can be shit, but fun.

TVtropes is like the opposite of 4chan. They love everything. I like it there.

This isn't a theory, this is practically a rule on the internet
4chan is the place we're you'll hear people say 'Skyrim sucks' the most because 1. They're trolling /v/ to start a flame war, and 2. There are idiots who really think that and can't go anywhere else because they think every critic and blog sucks massive balls.
I'm pretty sure a few people didn't like Skyrim and posted about it on The Escapist forums and other places, but because the 'hive mind' mentality is a bit stronger here and there these people quickly get corrected, berated, etc.

So what's better? Liking a few games and hating a few games or liking everything, regardless of quality?

Wow, the ignorance and high and mighty atitude in this thread is just disgusting.
I see Skyrim get plenty of praise there. People like to pretend that only bad things happen on 4chan, but frankly outside of the trash that is /b/ most boards are perfectly fine and often productive.

I'm fairly certain everyone who uses 4chan is a jrpg playing brain donor, so y'know, can't be helped.
And I'm fairly certain anyone who plays just wrpg are brain damaged.

Post a picture of Deus Ex there. Test your theory.
in my experience on /g/ they only had negative things to say on the most popular Internet Browsers (IE,Fire Fox,Chrome and Opera)

Pretty sure all these people are Reddit-only. Explains their immature attitude.
