What are some gaming opinions you just *Don't Understand*

I think they were good at the time, but they're very hard to go back to after Origins and Odyssey.
For example, playing that Assassin's Creed III remaster next month would feel archaic.

I can't get into Skyrim. Combat sucks, and everything is so crappy that destroys the immersion. I don't get how this game is so acclaimed with these blatant flaws.
Every time a PS4 exclusive comes out declaring it has the best graphics ever. We'll see it when TLoU2 comes out with 100% certainty.

what in the worldwhatever this opinion is supposed to mean:

Battle Royale games. I've tried Fortnite, PUBG, and the Call of Duty one and I just don't see the appeal.
Soulsborne, any JRPG and having strong feelings towards video game characters.
The opposite for me.

I'll add another this. The only good bethesda games are the ones they publish and not develop.
Player agency matters a lot to a lot of players in games (such as me), and well done open world games facilitate that. An open world game that also features incredible design is the cream of the crop.

Most open world games (to me) feel like busy work, and usually have poor pacing imo.
I feel like going for a platinum just makes it feel like work instead of playing organically. I would feel miserable trying to do so, or worse people that love doing side missions in open worlds games and then complain about open world fatigue.. I mean duh lol. I'll do one or two if I heard from someone it has a cool story if not I'll stick to the main story.
People who vehemently ignore a game because it's too 'anime'. It seems like such a weird way to limit yourself from games you might end up loving. I wonder how many people see games like Persona or maybe something like Gravity Rush be praised and just roll their eyes and move on.
whatever this opinion is supposed to mean:
I mean......what?
It's simple: explore and muck around rather than brute forcing the repetitive main story. The setting and style of those games are cool as hell. I love just walking around soaking up the ambiance and picking fights.
Also the hidden blade was badass when it was an instant kill. Bam! You're dead. So satisfying. I can't believe the newer games diluted that mechanic. Fuck?
Bingo
It`s not bad per se. But its closer to being bad than being the masterpiece most lauded, players and critics alike
Fallout 4 got the same baffling treatment but thankfully players were a bit more critic with that one. Skyrim remains as one of the (barf) ~best western rpgs of all time~ to many people and i just shake my head and wonder if i`m taking crazy pills or something

I don't go for every platinum, only the ones for games I really love. But I love a lot of games. Hunting for the platinum sort've becomes a game in itself if that makes sense? The same feeling I get from leveling up in a game is the same feeling I get getting trophies. Only I take those trophies with me.
Every game technically is "busywork", and comes down to how well it disguises and contextualizes that fact. That isn't exclusive to open world games, that's for all games.
The common criticisms against open world games are that they fell like busywork, or feature no level design (?). These are both false in that they also apply to linear games. You absolutely can have linear games with poor level design (remember the "corridor game" memes?), and which feel like relentless busywork (for instance, FF13). You can also have open world games with incredible design (BOTW) or fantastic contextualization for their "busywork" (TW3).
Basically, a bad game will have bad design and will feel like busywork regardless of whether or not it is open world.

I have a friend who's like this and its the worst. He says games like that are full of "ladyboys".
He wrote off Nier Automata and refused to play it despite me knowing he would love it.
Truth. I remember being swept up by the hype for AC, playing a few hours on launch day and being flabbergasted by how boring and generic it was. The reviews were just baffling.
Also people who buy games solely because they're an easy plat regardless of having zero interest in them.
If I love the game, why not? For instance, I would pay money for Vergil when DMCV releases. It depends if we're talking about lootboxes and cut sections from a game that you know was held off for dlc. I'm looking at you FFXV disgusting.
