Seriously it's scoring on Mario Galaxy levels of unanimous praise. If anything else comes out this year that manages to outdo it, we might just be living in the greatest gaming year of history.
The only game with a chance is Uncharted 3. MW3 will get a whole reef of perfect scores but it will be the 'I'm a legitimate journalist, I'm going to give this 3 stars' outlets that will drag it down. It's a game to hate to make you look smart, for sure.
Skyrim totally has the chance to get a shit ton of 5 stars
yeah uh
skyrim looks frankly amazing, and might even be more fun than batman for me
however
i've never liked any of the elder scrolls game
BUT
this one looks way different and holy shit dat dragons
"I cried when Aeris died"
"I only jerk off to hentai"
and of course everyone's favorite
"Let me tell you about my Zelda timeline theory"
Everything after and including Ocarina takes place during the Wind Fish dream during Link's Awakening, however Twilight Princess is the exception because that takes place in an alternate parallel universe where the original Link from Wind Waker actually failed to defeat Ganon the first time and the world was never flooded.

see I want to get hyped about skyrim
but I know it's going to fall victim to Elder Scrolls syndrome where there will be a few minutes of open world brilliance that the rest of the gameplay does not live up to at all
like the first time you hear two NPCs having a random conversation and think "oh my god they actually talk about what happened to them" and then you realize that no, they just repeat the same shit about mudcrabs
The best open-world game would be one where you successfully fool the player into thinking it's an open-world game and their actions have consequences. Don't know how you'd do that though, but that would pretty much be the holy grail.

My co-worker told me today that apparently dragons don't quite work right in Skyrim so they're out for now but will eventually make it in as DLC. Was he full of shit? He's occasionally full of shit.

Its been more my experience that there's at least a few weeks of "THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER" before reading nitpicky stuff on forums that you've never really experienced or care about, yet ruins the experience for you anyway.

MW2 has some pretty poor game design choices that I do not like in an FPS. It encourages the player to not play strategically, since the enemies infinitely spawn around you. You're instead forced to just run and gun and pray that you make it to the next checkpoint, rather than methodically making your way through maps. The level design was also often really horrid. The worst one was the brazil "chase" or whatever, that was just a bunch of scripted events and was really confusingly built.
In the Infinity Ward Call of Duders, there's no infinite spawning enemies. The only place where it seems like there is is in MW1 in the TV studio, I think. There's just a shit load of guys.
Treyarch, however, is pretty fucking fond of it. Trying to beat a Treyarch game on Veteran is just an awful experience.
and I mean, the general concept is still there even if there are technically finite dudes. If I plow through a troupe of guys, and more just keep coming for a while, but then I reach a magic point and they stop, that is bad game design.
But I just never really had a problem with the MW games having a limited respawning amount.
Now in Black Ops and WaW just fucking kill me now. I was trying to do this stupid level in BlOps on Veteran where there are literally 7 dudes who respawn within 10 seconds of killing them. And you need to get completely out into the open to stab and kick a barrel into a thing to get a checkpoint. Holy fuck me, no, I gave up then and there. The worst part was how it was only like level four or five, too. Just so awful.
At least in MW2 once you kill the five hundredth guy they stop coming.

I enjoyed MW2 but on the hardest difficulty it was definitely a checkpoint slog. Shoot some dudes, run and pray.
I finished it on the hardest but then Black Ops sucked on hardest difficulty and I quit after 3 levels.
Got almost as good in 2 but not quite since the MP5 did so much less damage over a wider spread and the sneaking was less effective.
I remember getting ratios of 2 or 3 kills per death in MW1.
well stop using the MP5 and start using the best gun in the game
a silenced G3
The semi auto assault rifle?
I used that too in MW1 to almost as good of scores as the MP5.
I knew the MP5 so well though that I was able to use it as max range, granted that would take a whole magazine to take someone out, and that was less than efficient.
In bigger maps I'd use the G3. Maps like Pipeline and sometimes overgrown.
I used the M14 when I wanted to go loud more often than not.
But most of the time it was silencer/UAV jammer for me. Without those I tended to camp. I didn't like to camp, mostly outflank and take the enemies from the side or rear.

I'm not saying it's perfect. I prefer my games more open. But it is good and a lot of bad reviews have an agenda.

Wrong. M14 with ACOG.
