It goes both ways. It's like the "mainstream bro" argument. So, millions of people like something, and the one person who doesn't like it calls it "mainstream" and that everyone who does like it is wrong. Yeah, uh, call me when that logic starts to make sense. :rolleyes:

Agree. Oblivion wasnt that good. In fact it was pretty bland and boring mostly. Mods fixed that though.
Even if something sells and has a lot of mainstream success doesnt mean its good. It just means people know about it and its popular. By that logic Twilight is an amazing film. I doubt anyone who has seen actual amazing films would say that.
I dont completely agree about mainstream though. If millions of people like something it means that it must have qualities that attract the masses. Those are often things I dont like so mainstream games, films, music etc arent often for me. Artistically theyre usually pretty bad as well so selling well tells nothing about quality. Quantity instead of quality is often the thing with really mainstream stuff. Artistic quality and such rarely attract the majority. There are plenty of exceptions though so mainstream doesnt automatically equal bad. A movie for example can have things that attract both sides.
