Skyrim: Got the game day one, i just beat Dark Souls so the gameplay mecanics of Skyrim instantly felt like dogshit, the game was as hella buggy, and it felt overwhelming at first (so many books to read, so many icons in the maps, so many things there and there and there lol), specially since it was my first western RPG i tried, i felt like the game may be cool some how,one thing for sure is that i loved the setting that's Nordic mythology, but the bugs were too much freezes allday, also i had many games to play at that time so voila too many reasons to not play this game, so i gave up.
1 Year later i heard the game was more functional after many patches, so i was on period where i played all games i wanted and no new games had my interest, beat 50 times Dark Souls, so i though i should play something new, and what about going back to Skyrim, specially since now it's not as buggy anymore.
So i reinsert the Skyrim disk on my Xbox 360 one year later, i kept playing it, while the gameplay was still shit ,i mean after Dark Souls it really felt shit, but then you start appreciate it for what it is, also this game wasn't about precise gameplay but for other aspects, like story, freedom, the world, the aura, the music and all. so i ended up really loving the game, like really LOVING IT, the world the characters the atmosphere and so on, it was magical and this game transport you, which usually not a lot of western games succeed with me (unless it's Rockstar and Red Red Dead). I finished the games and the DLCs too were just too amazing, and i actually (maybe unpopular opinion?) but i enjoyed Skyrim even more than TW3 (that i also loved too), i did everything that could be done in the game, i think i end it in 260 hours or something.
