I think it got to the point, that it just became cool to hate on it, and people jumped on the bandwagon.

My experience is that it had a lot of issues; mostly with minor glitches, but there were so many, plus a great deal of conspicuously unfinished stuff. That said, I loved playing it: it was a great venue for my usual habit of aimless wandering about. It's certainly become cool to hate it and that gets quite annoying, but OTOH it's conspicuously unfinished. I'm reminded quite a lot of Oblivion in that regard, which was a similar experience (more crashy but also more completed). Both additionally needed a lot of modding to get them closer to where I wanted them to be but both also stand out as firm favourites.

Mostly I had a problem with memory leaks, but your right it really wasn't a finished product. But by the 3rd patch they had really fixed a lot of things. I was a little annoyed that when I played as a male character I couldn't romance Judy, so I played through a second time with a female character just so I could see that storyline. I mean the story was great, enjoyed leveling up a swordfighter too. There was a crapload of side quests and the world was stunning. I was also able to complete the suicide mission with Johnny, that gave the good ending, and talk about a tough fight.

When it comes right down to it, another game that gets a lot of undeserved hate was Mass Effect : Andromeda. I got the game way after the failed launch and all the silliness that entailed. But I have to say, with a few good mods, it was awesome. I mean that game had some of the best combat out of all of the ME series, the world discovery was great. I was actually a little peeved when I found they were selling out with that "Legendary" rehash rather than coming out with a sequel that would be better than the first. It also sucks I will never find out what happened to the Quarians.

Playing the brother, rather than the sister saved me a lot of messed up convo animations, but there were some definite issues with some conversation writing (:ie "my face is tired" I mean wtf was that?). But that was another game that it was "cool" to hate on as well.
