    what does this even mean? “sure they’re fun” and also “not particularly good by any measure” are conflicting statements

      Fast food can be delicious and filling, but it’s not good food.

      Bethesda makes the game equivalent to fast food. Specifically instant ramen. You can tweak instant ramen, add veggies, eggs, meat, seasonings, etc. and transform it into something new. It’s still instant ramen, but it’s different.

        Fast food can be delicious and filling, but it’s not good food.

        this is a completely different argument. Fast food is “good by any measure” because it’s good by the measure of delicious and of filling. It doesn’t make sense to complement something and then say it’s not good in any aspect.

      E.G. Fallout 4 is fantastic exploration.

      It’s best gameplay is when your ignore the plot entirely and create your own story.

      Same with Skyrim, Fallout 3 and Oblivion.

      The actual main plots are simplistic, boring and oddly quick. Weirdly, each of the games has an expansion that has a well done quest line, so its not that they can’t do it, they choose to not do it.

      Biodome with Pauly Shore is one of my favorite movies. I have fun every time i watch it. It’s not a “good” movie.

        I would like to add Hook to this list. I was flabbergasted when, as an adult, found out it was poorly received. Then I rewatched it as an adult and was forced to agree. Still one of my favorites.
